    will definitely be getting this. I am not entirely sure but I didn't think Sam Records did CDs.

    No, they don't (but a related label did the "Peace Treaty" CD by Davis, I think ... and not sure if the "Barney Wilen Quintet" reissue doesn't come from that corner - but CDs are not running under "Sam Records").

    Recently, they did the Monk "Liaisons" on vinyl, right? CD was available from a different label ... would be great if the Davis did turn up on CD as well, but I'm still tempted by the vinyl, although with custom taxes added it will end up quite expensive indeed (some 75-80 € I guess).

  11. Michael Gibbs with Gary Burton Live 1969

    Yeah ... but this is about Barry Gi ... uhm, Michael Gibbs here :) 

     

    Has anyone heard the release by now? How is sound quality on the first two discs?

    I quite like this one (what's the state of the Dutton Vocalion jazz reissue programme - still breathing?):

    And I guess I could do with some more, so maybe this new release would be just that?

     

     

  13. Today's tenor players

    in Recommendations

    Yes on Grimal, and Kullhammar, too! :tup:tup:tup 

    Not sure where Grimal is heading, never had a chance to catch her live, but on record it seems she's straying further and further from jazz. I love the double disc with Giovanni di Domenico on Ayler, I have no idea what to label that music, but I don't think I'd call it jazz.

    And we discussed trumpet player Susana Santos Silva in another thread recently ... she's the guest on the most recent, fourth volume of the "Basement Session" series  (subtitled "The Bali Session" and indeed with gamelan's and some wonderfully mesmerizing grooves to go along) by the Aalberg/Kullhammar/Zetterberg trio.

    Price is so good (about $4/disc), it can absorb some stretching/padding in the contents.  And the earlier DeJohnettes are a great prize to me, probably my favorite discs in the box.

    Hm yeah, if I found such a great price locally (if I order online, it will get 25-30€ more expensive due to taxes and fees). I don't think I can justify the acquisition ...

    So there we go again? all older players (40+), mostly mainstream in the broader sense ... but yeah, Laubrock certainly can play, although I'm not always all that big on *what* she plays - but when she's on, she's great!

    Mostly US guys, too, and the somewhat hurting point: those mentioned here mostly don't get any bookings/exposure elsewhere. So I guess with the topic at hand, these days, many of those being mentioned will be known from recordings or they form part of a local/regional scene that does get air time around where one lives. (Okay, I did get a chance to see Mark Shim as part of the Lehman Octet once, I heard Wayne Escofferey with the Mingus Big Band a dozen or more years ago, Donny McCaslin with Maria Schneider, Dave Douglas and his own utterly boring group -- which was quite good w/David Bowie I found)

    The youngest I can come up with, off the top of my head, is Sophie Alour, 43, French, mainstream as well -- she's part of the Rhoda Scott Lady Quartet with which I saw her live for the first time recently. I don't think any of her releases shows her potential so far (maybe "Opus 3" best).

     

    Of the older generation, over here in yurp, certainly these deserve mention:

    Tobias Delius

    Ab Baars

    Harry Sokal

    Roman Schwaller

    Andy Scherrer (who's in his seventies by now)

     

    There is also Ada Rave, from Argentina ("only" 44)

     

    Also, thinking US again, Matt Bauder comes to mind, at 42 he's uhm, quite young.

     

    And thinking US, older generation: don't foget about Ernest Dawkins and Ari Brown.

     

    And thinking a bit further, it does seem that in the younger generation in avant/improv, the tenor is just one among many instruments again ... I'd rather name some pianists (Kaja Draksler, Eve Risser, Colin Vallon, not to forget our own Alexander Hawkins) if I'd be pressed to name some favourites.

    Safe assumption based on the shape of the box.  BTW, down to $92.59 pre-order price on Amazon, and release date shows as Nov. 30.

    I'd expect it to be a large type version of the smaller boxes (Abercrombie, Jarrett, Lloyd, Motian etc.) - it would be nice to get of course, but still it's a bit bloated (the Wadada, as well as the DeJohnette albums seem a bit of a stretch, not the "Made in Chicago", but the earlier ones).

    I'd love to get that booklet though, that's for sure!

    I have already 6CDs so quite tempted.

    I have 14 (some of them doubles), so nope ... the DeJohnettes and some of the Bowies I don't have, the rest had been here for a while, and much of it is quite treasured (the Roscoe more so than the actual AEC albums, I think, though the late "Tribute to Lester" is beautiful).

    this one has Serrano and Nicky Hill, it's the second album on the Serrano Freshsound twofer (the other, Serrano's Blues Holiday, has Bunky Green)... discogs also shows previous Japanese issues...

    Ah, ok ... so red and blue, but same album title? Uhm, ok ... ate too much lunch to think (read) straight, sorry - so same album but mixed up sax players in my post, right?

    they should have left pop music to the pop players:

    What's the story there?

    The story? Funds needed to buy more hi-fi gear and sports cars?

    There's plenty of weird pop albums on World Pacific, some by Chet Baker and Joe Pass as well, at least ... not sure there's any one album amongst those that the world needs (or needed, but then I wasn't around ...)

    Heard a wonderful set by Life and Other Transient Storms (Sten Sandell, Susana Santos Silva, Torbjörn Zetterberg, Lotte Anker, Jon Fält) at Artacts in March (the photo was taken in a small "box" set up for tiny solo sets) ... my favourite disc of hers so far is the duo with Kaja Draksler on Clean Feed, but I have yet to check out what she did elsewhere (she's got plenty on Clean Feed and it's probably all worth listening if you like her - which I do).

    I can't say that I've ever seen that MJT+3 on CD before; have an original pressing as well as a Japanese Cadet LP in the racks. The original is torched but does have what I presume to be real signatures from Richard Abrams, Booker Little, and George Coleman...

    Only on Fresh Sound I think -- or is that another one (you mention Little and Coleman, but the one I have in mind has Paul Serrano and Bunky Green)?
