Good to know indeed! Will try and post some impressions once I'll have heard the disc. Btw, all those discs I've ordered last year sound pretty to very good to my ears!

Gave two listens to my disc so far and it's quite a trip ... field recordings combined with some free-flying tenor and plenty of interesting things going on. Looking forward to getting better acquainted with it!

same here

Oh, sad. I was just recently playing some of those seventies Ibrahim recordings again, love them very much, and the grooves, though simple, are always so infectious and bring a smile on my face.

Interesting, as to me this was one of the few "free jazz" albums I could totally dig way before I was able to really dig any other late Trane (such as "Ascension", "Meditations", "Interstellar Space"). I've long grown into loving all of it very much, but "Sun Ship" somehow holds a special place in my house. As music of stark beauty, and a kind of straightforward honesty that is solemn and sublime.

Got my paper version from amazon a couple of weeks ago but had no time yet ...

Thanks for linking there! I'm more excited than most seem to be over there, since, as I said, "Sun Ship" is among my very favorite Coltrane albums!

So you got the same ones from the whole list that I got ... only played the former myself, but the Lieb/Beirach was already a huge and pleasant surprise, and I also recently got hold of the ECM LP of "Lookout Farm" ... I guess I just love that period of Liebman's work!

They don't look like upcoming releases on amazon.fr either ... just the usual marketplace offers which are there on the US site, but on the US site you get a future release date, which you don't on the French. Weird. But it would of course be terrific if the series was revived!

so, which one was the bigger geezer: ( _ ) Lance ( _ ) Miles winner get's a shot of his favorite substance ...

http://www.amazon.com/Sun-Ship-Complete-John-Coltrane/dp/B00B7IJEMY/ These recordings made the rounds ... needless to say I'm overjoyed to see this announced, "Sun Ship" is among my very favorite Coltrane (and that means: jazz) albums! David Wild has this update on his site:

geez-us! (was he clean, btw?)

put in an order ... Tony Malaby's Tamarindo - Live Parker/Guy/Lytton + Peter Evans - Scenes in the House of Music The Convergence Quartet - Song / Dance Peter Evans Quartet - Live in Lisbon Samuel Blaser Quartet - Pieces of old Sky Dennis González NY Quartet - NY Midnight Suite Whit Dickey - Coalescence last year's thread: and a recommendations thread:

Shit, that's crazy! Add 40$ or some for VAT and custom fees ... holy holy!

seems to be some German (?) law that every DVD or CD-set containing a DVD has to carry such a sticker ... in addition you'll get a piece of paper explaining the different categories (it was next to the poster in the slot that they thankfully "invented" in the time since Vol. 1 was released). The stickers look like this:

There are some liners on the backside of my poster (got my copy today as well ... all discs there, the sticker went to the dustbin unread, the DVD sticker right on the digipack was removed without any traces).

I did put in a new email address - no help so far. Guess I'll contact them again ...

Yes, I'm ordering straight from Mosaic whenever possible. But recently got two (running low) Selects and currently waiting for delivery of the Threadgill. Jazzmessengers' service is very good, delivery very fast, too. I'd just be real happy to be included on the Mosaic mailing list again - it's been a year or two and I asked them by mail several times and also entered my email address into the respective window on their site again several weeks back. I don't get it, but they seem to not want me any more or some such ... can't be too much work, I'm sure it's all automated anyway!

Okay, even though I signed up for their mailing list anew (after asking them in mails to please keep sending me mails and being told yes of course) I still get no emails, that is getting weird. Glad to get most relevant information right here.

I'd still love to hear the entire Miles at Fillmore set! Would make a nice next volume of the Bootleg Series! And then the 1971 and 1973 tours, please! 1964 would have been nice, too - but as it's PD over here in yurp, I guess it won't happen.

Hey, that thread was mine ... I can relate to your points, but as with Niko, I can accept this policy by now without being too annoyed (but not without making some remarks every now and then). It took a while, but I think actually we've even had some interesting discussions on sense and nonsense of copyrights as exerted in different kingdoms (the one of Macca and Jimmy Cliff's, for instance, also know as the US of A). Guess it's best to take it all with humour and just not post too many links

Got my package yesterday, two times "Symphony" and once "Camden '70". Gave one listen to "Symphony" so far and am playing it again right now - sounds mighty great! Having issues though with the shop (themusicindex.com, the one you end up when going via the link provided in post #1) - they put a total value of 40£ (plus 9£ shipping, makes 49£), instead of the total (including shipping) 35£. This meant I had to pay around 20€ for VAT and custom taxes. I'm working on getting that back, but I have low hopes. I don't think I've ever had this happen ... I wouldn't think it's necessary to tell them to please not put too high but a correct value on the custom's declaration

Gee, my best wishes to Mr. Haden, love his music!

very sad news ... haven't explored much of his conductions, but I always enjoyed whatever I heard, also his appearances on cornet.

Plenty of big sets on backorder, yes ... as for Selects, I wonder if the Bobby Hutcherson will ever be back at all! Says end of Januar 2013, which is now ... let's hope that's roughly true, I just want it before it goes the way of the dodo, too! That one has been on backorder for like seven years (at least that's how long it feels to me).
