Sent PM (a few hours ago) on the Edwards.

T.C. Boyle: Talk, Talk BTW if you haven't read Drop City, get on it right now.

F. Davis reviewed it in the Village Voice & liked it. He also reviewed a Houston Person / Bill Charlap CD on the same label that I bought immediately. This one I'm still thinking about. Ethan Iverson gives me some pause (perhaps unfairly).

The images are there, BUT so is an "ad" for File Lodge.

What's this, what's this? Follow-up to "Soul eyes"? Please post more details. MG Mance, John Webber (bass), Joe Farnsworth (drums M&I MYCJ 30380 Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You Single Petal Of A Rose Deep Purple Stella By Starlight When I Fall In Love A Child Is Born Stormy Weather Laura Miss Otis Regrets

Al certainly took care of Hearst's enforcer. Wu (? & his forces) have been sent for.

Japanese CDs from Hiroshi: Hank Jones: Round Midnight Junior Mance: Ballads 2006 Dominick Farinacci: Adoro

Great album. Do not miss out.

Amy Hempel: The Complete Stories Great writing (IMHO).

I have issues 1-4 of Shuffleboil. Always enjoyed the publication but hadn't heard anything from them for what seems like 2-3 years. Imagine my surprise when a new "double" issue (5 / 6) appeared in the mail yesterday. Cecil Taylor on the cover, lots of stuff on him, Dolphy, etc.. Just getting into the issue, but I think I'm going to like it. Anybody else familiar with or want to comment on Shuffleboil.

FWIW, this is the first I've ever heard of Fanfare. I guess they've had no influence on me. On the other hand, I like Cadence.

The 2 Eddie Gale albums are on Water.

Best wishes, Lon.

I'm waiting for the 25 - 30% coupons to come back. Probably unlikely.

I saw him earlier this year (or was it late last year?) on one of his UK gigs then just a few weeks ago at North Sea. In both cases he looked a bit drawn and certainly a lot thinner than on previous times I've seen him. On both occasions though he played very well indeed - with great sense of purpose. Hope everything is OK with him ! I just saw him less than a week ago. He looks gaunt & walks like a (very) old man. On the other hand he was reasonably animated & played well. If he's ill, the specifics are not being revealed to the general public.

Any chance of getting organissimo into that festival with possibly a club hit somewhere next year? Thank you Duke City for clarifying that it was approx. 800 per concert. The person to contact for booking possibilities is Tom Guralnick at The Outpost Performance Space.

Lots of whining in this thread (? esp. from the east coast). We just finished the New Mexico Jazz Festival. Excellent crowds (up to 800 people) for the likes of McCoy Tyner Septet, Branford Marsalis Quartet, Arturo O'Farrill Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, Newport All-Stars. Maybe we're just not as jaded & more grateful. For a city of 65 thousand we're doing O.K..

Tonight Arturo O'Farrill Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra Tomorrow night McCoy Tyner Septet

That's good to know! Buying from Rouge Art is expensive, although I have to say this Roscoe CD was worth the 24 Euros. You should get this one. Done!!

Cadence has the Rogue Art CDs now including this new 2 CD Mitchell.

Trio 3: Time Being (Intakt) Mario Pavone: Deez To Blues (Playscape) Mark Helias: Atomic Clock (RadioLegs) Ernie Krivda: Stellar Sax (CIMP) Khan Jamal: Black Awareness (CIMP) Pandelis Karayorgis: We Will Make A Home For You (Clean Feed)

Not to get off-topic here, but a really good Sipiagin CD is CrissCross 1270.

Stylings Of Silver is a great session. I'll stick with my JRVG CD.

I don't believe that the CDs (late era Shepp) under discussion should be missed over the "singing" by Shepp of which there isn't much.

Saw Branford Marsalis Quartet last night (Calderazzo, Revis, Tain). Have to say they were excellent.
