I guess it went under in the "what live music" thread ... but for the reason of very bad arthritis, Taylor had to cancel both his concerts in Sant'Anna Arresi and in Willisau -- they got Braxton in Willisau and as I've bought a ticket in advance, I'll probably go ... but damn this is very, very sad news.

Um, okay, so you always know in advance which are the best albums and hence can restrict your buying to just those? But then you're saying it's worth comparing various recordings, too ... and that's one thing which these make rather easy - say my boxes of Heifetz, Rabin, Milstein ... and no, they're definitely not mostly crap either. Furthermore, there are people who are only getting into classical (I was one of them, a bit more than a year ago) and boxes allow for several things like - comparing various versions of a piece - following one artist through various composers works - discovering stuff you might never have run into looking for THE one great album Now sure some boxes are better than others (all animals are equal, ya know?), some performers less steady than others, some interpretations more you cup of tea than others ... Anyway, I'm just not a fan of such absolutist opinions (and the according language). There are boxes I don't need and others I love or am looking forward to getting a lot - obviously it helps if you're starting from scratch and have little or no duplication. Though what I like most, in fact, is being able to compare stuff ... at the same time by work but also being able to follow one artist and his or her look at various composers and pieces. No easy way out. (edited for typo, though there might be more of 'em)

well, I had my shit 'n' piss this morning, but not vomitted for a while ... am I still allowed to post here?

Ugliest thread of these days.

Yep, says Golson there ... that's the other one, I assume, that was also in the JiP series? Very good one! This one here: Other cover: There's one more by the band with Golson from Paris, 2CD edition: I'm a fan of that Morgan/Golson/Timmons band, maybe even more so than of the Morgan/Shorter/Timmons one ... there's also Morgan/Mobley/Timmons on one Blue Note double, love that one a lot, too! The Morgan/Shorter/Timmons did plenty of live recording in Paris in 1961, look for this 2CD set: There's a second one but I can't seem to find a cover (the above is the "second concert" as the cover states, the "first concert" is - or was - around, too)

Damn! Cecil Taylor at Willisau, to take place Sunday, just got cancelled .... bad artritis, in medical treatment etc. They got Braxton (with Hemingway and Taylor Ho Bynum) as replacement ... but damn I'm so pissed and sad about this right now I'm just about to tear up my ticket rather than go there. Damn, damn!

Belated best wishes!

Did you get the Freshsound or the cheaper other one?

As usual, they're great ... and will be putting in my coupon code before charging my card

Oh, Gulda! Intriguing!

new link - just ordered the book: http://www.commpound.com/apprenticehouse/2012/03/21/music-at-the-crossroads/ and a lengthy article on the book: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2010-08-07/entertainment/bs-ae-jazz-loyola-20100807_1_baltimore-jazz-apprentice-house-loyola-students

Got some Debussy by Michelangeli in his DG box (the Préludes) ... don't get all the fuss about him, I'm afraid. Those are from 1988 ... but then the fans keep saying he was perfect from day one and there isn't that much change between his interpretations and stuff, or so they say ...anyway, not for me, I think. Also got Crossley and Entremont as part of a big Debussy box (the Sony one), but then I got that one mainly for other recordings included.

Looks good!

Yes indeed, on all accounts ... don't know Andrew Gold, but like those two Blue Note albums of Grolnick quite some! The photo (with full annotation) is from here: http://waddywachtelinfo.com/waddywachtelwithlindaronstadt.html

I'm enjoying her early albums quite a lot, but don't really know much after the mid 70s. Sad news indeed. "What's wrong with our bodies?" just started reading - good fun!

Damn, wanted to use a gift card on my Mosaic order but didn't see where the hell I could have entered it ... send them a mail hoping they can still make use of it. Otherwise I'm kinda pissed ... they hand out gift cards but have no place where you can actually enter the number? I see on the card it says I have to order by phone or mail, but how inconvenient is that, I know NSA has my credit card anyway, but still, and doing international calls is still rather expensive in this country ... crap!

not too many I was at, and save for the Steve Lacy none too great: Wiesendanger/Weber/Ulrich - We Concentrate (Hat Hut) live at Unerhört Festival, Zürich, Nov. 26, 2004 Steve Lacy - November (Intakt) a gorgeous Sunday matinee concert, again part of the fine Unerhört festival, Zürich, November 29, 2003 This solo concert belongs to my most treasured memories ... and as I recently mentioned, I couldn't bring myself to revisit it yet, although I did eventually get the CD. Trio 3 + Irene Schweizer - Berne Concert (Intakt) one title ("R. I. Exchange") is from the Zürich concert - guess what? Part of the Unerhört festival again ... November 24, 2007 I think that's it already ... I've been to plenty of concerts that were recorded by some radio (or in one case, and that was annoying: TV) stations, but only the above have been released (not sure the Lacy is a radio thing, but the WWU certainly is).

Is that your type of creating "art" or are you serious about that?

Can't see anything.

All the best, Volkher! Hope you're doing well!

Marcelle, please. But glad I'm not alone liking her Debussy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwR-3ekLu7o

I've got that one ... but haven't really explored it yet. Still don't quite know what to make of Debussy.

re-enactment?
