king ubu

waiting the Smith, Riley, Bradford and Brown/Burrell ...

I know he did the royal (whot?) wedding and stuff, Sheku Kanneh-Mason seems to be a talent to watch ... saw him in recital in December (with big sis Isata on pianer), they did a Boccherini virtuoso thingie to kick off the concert, then the Poulenc sonata, and after the break the Debussy, and one of fhe Brahms sonatas, and then the above Holst piece as an encore ... while it was not a polished presentation by far, and while I think he needs to work on projecting his sound a bit more, it became quite clear that he's really into it, not a wunderkind or anything like that, but a gifted you artist that hopefully will stick with it and develop into a truly outstanding musician.

any comments on the booklet (quality/length of essays etc)? btw, "label-side down" can end up much worse, as there's no thick protective layer of plastic on that side, a deep scratch on the label side may not just impact readability but actually destroy the disc

The CD edition seems to be complete though - tracklisting from jazzmessengers.com CD 1: 01. Minor Meeting 02. Nica 03. Sonny's Crip 04. Blues Mambo 05. Blues Blue 06. Junka 07. My Conception 08.

I managed to get the TOJC of "Natural Essence" recently ... overpaid a bit, but not too much - so they may do whatever they want for the 90th (a reissue of the complete Art Hodes Blue Note sessions would be nice, though, but I know that's not gonna happen) and I'm out

Yup, those reissue covers are foogly ... but I'm not inclined to buy these again just because of covers (if that, it would need to be LPs I guess)

well, here's a review of a 2015 gig: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/05/arts/music/review-keith-jarrett-at-carnegie-hall-precise-and-aglow.html my understanding is that the "La Fenice" release was put forth instead of a new solo recording that was planned to be made from one of the cancelled concerts, but don't ask me where I got that from ...

available for little money straight from Enja as well: .. which also goes for "Taro's Mood", which was expanded to two discs: (though the second is fairly short indeed)

Thanks!

What - or rather: which ones - are "the four Deep Reality Hino discs"? I have three of the Takt by now, the other four are on order from CD Japan, will be a while (I think they're not even shipped yet, and shipping takes 3-6 weeks usually, going with the cheap option).

No one needs counts (except for guillotines ) Not sure I have any earlier releases on Acrobat at home -- Ok, found one more - CD-R as well, Herts. address there: https://www.amazon.de/Jazz-At-Philharmonic-Seattle-1956/dp/B005EN4JKK/

this is the Tubby Hayes in question: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Tempo-Recordings-1955-59-Tubby/dp/B00B7GBJP6 not sure there's any address, the inlay can be seen there (just a website there)

Okay, got to revisit it ... wasn't that enthralled upon first listen I'm afraid (enjoyed the recent "Nightconcert" more).

Still unwilling to buy again, even more so if the Retrieval needs to stay (for the additional material) ... is sound that much better that it's worth considering so?

Yup, selling CD-Rs "undercover" is really a shame. And indeed I have that Tubby Hayes set as well (not sure there was a second one after that). Their booklets also are good-quality home-made prints, the paper is not what you usually get. I stopped buying their product. Not sure if this is different with R&B reissues the do, but I guess numbers of sold units and storage costs just don't add up.

Not available yet in yurp it seems ... I'm interested!

I hope I'll get it for x-mas

Thanks! Hoping for the best!

"Ready Take One" was compiled from several sessions, do you mean that one?

Thanks @Dan Gould!

Possibly he has read it ... my point was just that it doesn't show in what I find a pretty bad review.

Thanks - I was bit confused by all the posts and Dan's kinda "in the know" announcement ... will be waiting for the new release to hit the usual suspects then

Okay, so you are just distributing/selling, not part of the Uptown outfit?

I'm a bit confused ... is this an edition of 20 or will this eventually also be available through the usual outlets (such as jazzmessengers.com)?

Was actually hoping for a review to turn up, so thanks .... but I'm not quite sure Mr. Hajdu has actually read the book (at least I will not buy one of *his* books, that's for sure), more just flipped around in it and then written what was clear already anyway. Anyone here has started reading and can share some first impressions?
