    No problem @King Ubu, and if I am not mistaken I just generated two notices for you - one that I quoted you and another that I mentioned you. Had no idea now that if you use @King Ubu or any other user name you generate a notification. Oops now that's three. Somebody STOP ME. :g

     

    The notification using the @-sign didn't work - it only works if/when you pick the username from the list that will load while typing (for some reasons, that list will not always load). It's convenient in cases where you don't have a post to quote (or don't want to quote).

    What's up with this release? Other than the link posted in this thread, it's impossible to even find it on the Mosaic website - which seems to be the lone place where the CD is supposed to be available in the first place! It's not listed under recent releases and if I go to the Charles Tolliver page, there's just a placeholder item listed and clicking on the link leads to an error message.

    Thought so too, but there's a regular way to find it: use the "True Blue Music" header in the horizontal top menu and it will get you to the relevant listing ... they are not treating it as their own reissue (which I guess it isnt?)

    My parcel (two copies) is finally on the way, it took three orders, the first two were cancelled and my card temporarily blocked by the bank -- no idea what triggered that, maybe "All Stars" is code for terrorist group nowadays?

    Billy is superb on the Ampex Gil Evans album. He is featured on "So Long", with a typical Evans carpet of sound.


    That's all I have heard of Billy. I'd love to hear more, but the albums mentioned in this ancient thread are probably very hard to chase down.

    The Ampex is the one that was reissued as "Blues in Orbit" on Enja later, right?

    "Black Saint" and "In Europe" are still avalable in their most recent Japanese incarnations (which I bought a while ago):

    ... this is the first time I've heard "corporate totalitarianism" as a thing, but sure, yeah, absolutely. It's on a roll!

    Totally. This has just landed on my pile of yet-to-be-read books:

    I've made my escape from that part of the working world into administration and (not sure merikins can believe that) I'm very happy about this change ... also landed in semi-academia, so to speak, and on top of it all, I even get better pay.

    Just think about the potential savings that could be made in corporate communism (it's the US after all that has made communism work, ain't it funny? ;) ) if all of those big-shots got fired and the actual skills of people and their ability to organise would be relied on?

    The Young is most welcome ... I guess I'll get the JOS and Poppa Lou as well (missed the Mosaic and it wasn't important enough to hunt down after it had pulled its disappearing act)

    just pre-ordered, and could throw in the Sheila Jordan, I guess it ought to be some kind of upgrade over the late 80s US reissue

    I've gone back & forth on that Quebec/Hardee box many times over the years but I always come back to the fact that it just has too many alternate takes for my taste. One third of the set is alternate takes and they're programmed back to back, which I really hate.

    That way of programming is not something I appreciate a lot, but with CDs if you want it's pretty easy to skip ... are the takes in session order, or did BN by that time still not properly assign take numbers and nobody quite knows the correct sequence?
