Jason Adasiewicz' Sun Rooms - Spacer (Delmark)

Living By Lanterns - New Myth/Old Science (Cuneiform)

Nice The booklet seems not to be included - like with the reissue of Badura-Skodas Schubert - but the PDF is around for free, so ... not sure yet, but I held in my hands and "shook" a sealed copy at the shop today and it seemed far too light to contain such a substantial booklet (as does, for instance, the Café Zimmermann Bach box).

They're fairly cheap @ jazzmessengers.com, or via marketplace vendors on sites such as priceminister.com I'm a big fan of the series ... striving to have all of it, but in the past few years I couldn't alyways quite keep up the pace. The sub-series with the Jazz Live Trio is very much worth your attention, too! And obvously the new Q with Nat Cole is gorgeous! Mostly, they're not playing together, and the Q material, unlike the early TCB release of a Lausanne set, is not part of the cheapo PD 4CD Q live "Complete 1960 European Concerts" set (which I did buy ... there's another disc in it that was out on Q's Quest, but I guess ripping of Q a bit is rather okay, he's had it coming )

Sun Ra - The Antique Black (Kindred Spirits)

only what is "the"? I'm hoping for plenty more until "the" is reached!

But TCB does such a good job restoring sound, I guess it will be pretty much of an upgrade over the compressed FM or Digisat sources floating around!

It IS around since RSR broadcast it after Roach's death ... they did a 3-part-programme with later stuff included, too.

Dude? Or is that: doooood?

Oh, I see ... I never really looked at their DL only page.

You speakin' of Keith "No End" Jarrett, right?

well, in that terminology the Impulse albums would be - in my view, which probably needs correction anyway - the smooth jazz years

It's good! Got to spin it again very soon, but the first couple of spins were most enjoyable! There's a remark I caught in the notes (which I've not yet read in full) about the "low end theory" that Weston and Harper share - makes lots of sense to me ... there's a constant low rumble to this, even when it's quiet on the surface, there's much force and power hidden beneath, kept in reserve, it seems. I like that! And as one not too well-versed in Harper's discography, it's great to have some recent stuff of his, his tone is gorgeous here! Somehow this album reminds me of old singers and how they (take Sheila Jordan for a prime example) can do almost whatever they want, how they can losen up and pull stuff that would just sould weird or even wrong with a younger voice ...

I gulp with you - and I have my strawberry wine now and shut up ...

There have been several discussions, even entire thread, dedicated to Tyner's health. I hope he's doing well! Saw him live in 2011, in fact sitting right next to his piano on a bar stool, thus able to watch his hands all night long - and close enough to hear him very lowly sing along most every line his left hand was playing. Wonderful concert (with Gary Barth, Gerald Cannon and Joe Farnsworth - a German report i wrote can be found here) and very fond memories. The only time I caught him live though, at least so far. He seemed frail and was moving slowly, but once at the piano, he was highly concentrated and definitely in the mood to play! And yes, much love from me for the Mosaic Select, that was what I meant when I mentioned the "late Blue Notes" in an earlier post here! (Plus of course "The Real McCoy", too, which was my first Tyner album, besides some sideman recordings with Coltrane, but "The Real McCoy" was among my first 25 or 30 jazz CDs, I think - still have that one, an old McMaster.)

Great news! And note it says "Vol. 1", there'll be a second one! Love this particular Roach group a lot! TOMMY TURRENTINE, trumpet JULIAN PRIESTER, trombone STANLEY TURRENTINE, tenor sax BOBBY BOSWELL, bass MAX ROACH, drums 01. Announcement 02. Lotus Blossom 03. Prelude 04. Night in Tunisia 05. Jodie's Cha Cha

Fondue, yes; pajamas, no. Oh, sorry about that ... but you do chocolate fondue, too? I'll bring the strawberry wine

but then you also host these legendary pajama fondue parties, don't you?

Oh, I'm not doubting that! But somehow I never really connected to them all that much. I like them alright, but I don't hear those special things in them that you describe. But I will think of this whenever I take them out of the shelves again, I'm sure - and I'll listen attentively! Regarding the Milestones, the ones you listed are among my very favorites, too, just add "Sahara"!

Don't think the quoting system is that messy ... I got used to it. And as I've mentioned several times, when you switch to text only mode, it's much easier to get a handle on the quotes in your open posts. That said, I have no urge to ever use MSIE again either, since it seemesd that the thread title was a constant state (or sorrow) with it.

Hm, I might have to eventually re-evaluate those Impulses ... I never really warmed to them very much. To me, Tyner turned out better and better leader albums and what I love most are probably the last ones on Blue Note and the early Milestone ones.

The Anders Gahnold 2CD set is drop-dead gorgeous! Wonderfully melodic, lyrical playing that has that edge to make it special. Seems Gahnold approached Dyani asking if he wanted to play in his band ... Dyani said: who's in it? ... uhm, just you so far ... something like that - so it ended up a trio with Dyani and his compatriot, drummer Gilbert Mathews. I really love that one a lot! Info and samples here: http://www.ayler.com/anders-gahnold-flowers-for-johnny.html Also love the raggedy ragged "Free Jam" by Mongezi Feza with Bernt Rosengren's band: http://www.ayler.com/mongezi-feza-free-jam.html Guess I'll go for a total of ten or so ... including the Gayle, several by Dennis González, the one by Alexandra Grimal and a few more. Oh, and good to see some interest! Don't see that in the list!

shhh, I've got some cheap Jazz Lips for sale!

Chris Pearson is that guy who has bought, stored in his basket and browsed for, exactly the same stuff as you did. Your virtual twin!

bump - Ayler Records has a 2-for-1 sale going on that ends on Oct. 30: http://www.ayler.com/
