Barber/Kathleen Battle: Knoxville Summer of 1915

Not familiar with any of those Abrams albums, but I love the first box. Will have to sample the material.

I picked up Anthem Of The Sun for less than 5 bucks, and it includes Alligator/Caution/Feedback recorded live at the Shrine '68 for bonus tracks.

It's too bad so many of these releases are plagued with marathon renditions of Turn On Your Lovelight. Weir's vocals are horrendous. I don't mind him singing his own songs, but he cannot sing blues, vintage rock n roll, or other material that requires any kind of range of expression, because he has none.

I've been sampling Ladies & Gentleman, and I definitely want to pick up a copy. Red Rocks is decent, but it doesn't blow me away. But I'm just getting my feet wet. I never bothered to buy a Dead album for almost 40 years, but now I'm getting into it. I actually plucked 8 CDs out of the Barnes & Noble bargain bin. Mostly studio albums from '67-'74. And I got Red Rocks, and Allah at another store. Kinda wish I would've skipped Allah and got a copy of One From The Vault instead. And I definitely should have skipped Terrapin Station. But these digi-pack re-issues with all of the extra material are a good thing. Anthem Of The Sun is great! But the '71 live album is my favorite. Great material, sound, and wonderful performances.

I hope CamJazz releases a BS/SN box in the future.

Nice!

Pierre Dorge & New Jungle Orchestra from the DeCapo release, Giraf. The entire album is filled with great music and performances!

RIP I used to hear his stuff a lot on the Northstar Sounds show on Rochester's WGMC Jazz 90.1

Listening now. Very adventurous playing! I'm always looking through the enja catalogue for good stuff. It's too bad Wide Open spaces is out of print. I definitely want that one!

I have Lloyd's latest on loan from the library. Pretty disappointing. It's more like easy listening, which isn't easy listening.

Jonathan Harvey-Speakings; Mortuos plango vivos voco

Those were my suspicions. Thanks!

Is this a legitimate release? One review I read described the liner notes as pretty shoddy, and unrelated to the concert. All of the other Haden Montreal concerts were released on Verve and ECM.

Never did hear that album. Gate was making some good records right up until the end. I got to hang with him for a bit when he sat down on the lawn next to me to listen to Robert Lockwood's big band. And later that night he took the stage with his own big band. This was in the late 90s when he was doing his Gate Swings material.
