Thanks, I don't show that coupon. Must be location-related, as I buy massive amounts of stuff off Amazon, receive multiple deliveries every week.

Now $72.56, sorry I missed the $50 price, may have sprung for it.

Very kind of you to do that for them.

I thought about that, but chose to not write it 😀.

I would put to them that it's their mistake, that you are doing them a solid by offering to return the stuff, that they need to take responsibility for the cost and logistics of the arrangements if they want it back, and that you need a solution in x number of days.

Thanks so much for the heads-up! Looks fascinating. It's been out before on LP and CD, but I'm not familiar with it. I look forward to listening on youtube, and if it has a Nimbus-West vibe or is otherwise really good, picking it up! https://www.discogs.com/master/839009-Rickey-Kelly-My-Kind-Of-Music

Or a personal friend/relative as opposed to a known musician, though I can see the poetry angle.

Omnivore is a very good company, they do a nice job on their releases.

RIP, loved and own much of his early work. His sound was unmistakable.

Way better than I expected, includes strong covers of Tyner's "Contemplation" and Hubbard's "Little Sunflower", and a good Cedar Walton tune, "When Love is New", averaging 14 minutes each.

+1 on DiGeronimo.

Agreed. Some favorites that immediately come to mind beyond the obvious Billy Harper titles include 'Sightsong' by Muhal Richard Abrams/Malachi Favors, and some of the Andrew Cyrille albums with Ted Daniel & Co.

Elvin's entrance into tempo 30 seconds into "Acknowledgement" from 'A Love Supreme' is what immediately hooked me on jazz for life.

You'll also want 'Choma (Burn)' as a companion piece.

Correct.

Yeah, I don't read liner notes that were written for initial contemporary releases, as they by definition lack any critical perspective (they're meant to sell albums). I do read liner notes of historical reissues sometimes.

Hentoff was an interesting guy. Thankful for his efforts in Candid Records, who put out some gems in their small catalog, including some of my favorite Cecil Taylor and Charles Mingus and that really good Booker Ervin album. And that's just off the top of my head.

+1

R.I.P. , I'm a fan of the ultra-psychedelic stuff like "Dark Star" and "The Other One", and of "Truckin'", whose chorus has become sort of a mantra for me.

Shockingly good little movie, unexpectedly packs an emotional punch, as well as enjoyable story, some very funny parts, and a soundtrack which should (but won''t) win a grammy as the best pop album of 2025. Carey Mulligan is a fabulous actress, also really struck me with her portrayal of NYT journalist Megan Twohey in 'She Said'. She's been nominated for oscars for best actress three times.
