I know! I waited to get some of them thinking they would show up, and then they don't.

Wow, that really is gorgeous.

Why the focus on Brötzmann? I know I have moments after I hear a record or a solo where I feel I should sell everything else and just listen to that record or solo. This is a temporary thing that soon raises the bar of my entire lifetime listening experience. I wouldn't call Brötzmann a pothole. How about Niagra Falls?

New additions: James Brown - Soul on Top Dexter Gordon - Doin' Alright Andrew Hill - Black Fire Freddie Hubbard - Night of the Cookers Lee Morgan - The Sixth Sense Horace Silver - Serenade to a Soul Sister Jimmy Smith - Home Cookin' Woo!

Nice site that Renevant has finally put up: here. Some sound samples there, too. Love that Summertime!

Would someone with a digital camera grace us with some photos of the set? Pretty please?

I saw the box in the local record store downtown yesterday. Gorgeous. Full retail listed there at only $99.

Nice review on the Dusted website.

A ways from being aestethically pleasing...

Did the Bill Evans/Jim Hall "Undercurrent" album just disappear from the catalog at BMG? I had it in my cart and now it is gone.

Today: Dalek vs. Faust "Derbe Respect, Alder" on Staubgold/Klangbad. Detroit rapper meets Krautrock legends, all hell breaks loose.

Am I the only one looking for "The Critic" on DVD?

Grachan Moncur III's Evolution. I paid about $25 only to discover upon its delivery that it was the cheap "Masters of Jazz" version. I returned it and was partially refunded. I did not ask for a full refund, as I felt some of the blame was on me for assuming that it was the Blue Note domestic version. A bad way to start, but I have never had another bad experience. Yet, anyway. My most recent purchase that has arrived was a copy of Eddie Costa's House of Blue Lights.

I picked up the JSP set used for $15. Fine selection of stuff, many different settings. Plus, you get "Relaxin' at Camarillo." No notes to speak of, but the personnel listings are pretty well complete.

So, this will be ten discs now?

What a horrifying prospect! Too bad the thing holding up reissues is mega-conglomerate label bean counters. They have a duty to preserve this material.

A nice radio piece [12 minutes] about Jandek. It references the Chusid piece above, and Chusid himself, as well as a bunch of the music: Studio 360 piece from 2001. Byron Colley interviewed, as well.

Do they play Clementine? That is my favorite song by the dead and it was sadly under-recorded and under-explored. My favorite is the 1/20/68 show. You can listen on archive.org. Dig it.

The Cat is back! Woo! BTW, I think it would be cool if we could have a Cat Shatner smilie.

And how is that SACD mastering? I used to have the plain OJC issue and I remember not be excited about the fidelity. [not that it really matters, with Bird on it.]

I saw him back in June back at home in the Twin Cities. That band was more than tight. Entertainers, through and through. And hey, there was some mean sax going on...

If you have a burner, you could burn an entire boxed set on to CDs as mp3 files, and play them back in a mp3 capable CD player [if you have one]. You can fit 10-12 album'ss worth on one data CD-r. You can shuffle on that and listen for hours!

yum! Mmm...rigor mortis...
