Perhaps if we all e-mailed him, and not all of us bitching -- but simply asking if the recording was available for a more reasonable price. $35 is pretty painful for just one CD. Hell, that's painful for a double CD even.
I didn't really bitch.
I simply pointed out that there should be a lower price point.
Compared it to the way Maria Schneider handled the marketing of her CD through the same source.
Well here's where I got screwed up.
Roland Kirk had a record with a "group" called the Jazz Corps with somebody whose last name was Peltier. Peagler is not exactly Peltier (who was not a sax player) but maybe close enough.
Sorry for the confusion (mine).
I don't think I know the piano players, but Peagler recorded in a group called the Jazz Corps (I think) & I believe also had something to do with Roland Kirk.
This is all off the top of my head, so if incorrect I apologize.
To, perhaps, confuse this further, I have the Twlevetrees book & a Taschen Claxton book called Jazz Seen. They are definitely not the same book.
Now, is Jazz Life different from either of those?
I wanted to stay out of this, but were any of you alive in the 60's???
Other than Chuck that is.
Hopefully this won't get as ugly as the Gourse thread elsewhere.
