Franco Ambrosetti: The Wind Ornette / Haden: Soapsuds, Soapsuds

I have all 4. The Coleman is my favorite. All of the others are 2 CD sets at the same price. They're all better than good. The Monk is probably my 2nd choice. Thanks for your perspective. They've never charged tax on an internet order before & $8 shipping (higher than previous sets) seemed steep. I'll think it over.

Since I have 2 posters on "ignore" (guess which 2), this seems mostly like the usual bullshit. Of course, I could be wrong, & this ignored stuff will all change the course of human discourse. I can live without it. What a relief!!

The 2008 SFJC 2 CD set is supposed to come out this summer. The current pre-order price is $29.75 + $8.00 shipping + tax (apparently being charged to any & all locations). This brings the pre-order price to over $40. When it comes out at the "regular" price (presumably $35), that'll bring the cost to over $45. Comments!?!? I have all of the previous sets, but this seems a bit much to me. Admittedly, the music is yet to be heard.

Wow! Enjoy! MG Thanks! $20 - but what the hell.

This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but "coming soon" is a Braxton, Milford Graves, William Parker trio CD.

Buika: Nina De Fuego John Patton: Soul Connection Wadada Leo Smith: Tabligh

I thought this was going to be about McCabe & Mrs. Miller. Never mind.

A really nice CD that George Lewis is on is Dutch Masters. Just listened to it today.

Yep - I hope Bruno's O.K..

Go Rays - just to be "perverse". Hidden agenda - I'd like to see the Brewers gain another game on the Cubs.

10 & 1 I'd like to have (Soapsuds, Soapsuds).

Are there any recommended Thurman Barker recordings? I saw him a couple of years ago at an AACM concert in New York and he was at least near-wonderful, but I don't have any of his recordings. He's the drummer / percussionist on Anthony Braxton: Performance Quartet (1979) on Hat.

What a relief. I now have 2 posters on my ignore list. I believe I'll stick around. BTW, someone doesn't know what "otoh" signifies???

Chauncey must be Clem's cousin.

Ryan Kisor: Conception - Cool & Hot

Palm Of Soul & 2 Days In April are excellent. I own & listen to both. You, otoh, are a little unpleasant. Hope you had that next martini. Who would you have preferred to write about Kidd Jordan? In fact write it yourself, get it published & I'll read it too.

I never thought of Jones / Lewis as "fusion".

At least he's being discussed.

45 on July 7.

Really? No (or little) Miles, Trane, Monk. Come on - give us your list.

Just a 23 year old musician trying to make HER way in the world. Some of you are overly agitated in a negative way. As Cedric The Entertainer once said "it ain't that bad".

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 What're are you waitin' for.

I enjoy Seven Men In Neckties.
