Kant could be tough but Hegel is definitely more complicated. I read in Dutch and I think reading it in another language than my first will make it even more complicated 😉 but I don’t mind. Just means I will get slower trough it and leave it aside on those evenings when I am tired or unfocused. Got his biography for those evenings which is very fun to read and gives his other book more context.

The biography is an easy and enjoyable read. The Phenomology of the Spirit is also enjoyable but in parts almost unreadable. But I like a challenge and I’ve got ChatGPT on my side to get me trough it 😇🤣

I avoided those ezz-thetics releases up till now for several reasons. I always enjoyed the released by Hatology but came to find out they made the silly decision to omit essential tracks for cds there as well. The latest cd reissues of Steve Lacy’s Prospectus and Blinks for example should have been two cd sets but they decided to omit tracks and make it 1 cd. I bought the vinyl instead for that reason.

Yes that’s a great one. The Strata East is cool but nothing spectacular. I think on this record he comes more into his own. Very solid band. I’d say @Dan Gould will like that one.

Thanks ! Been awhile since I’ve listened to the Kowald. I do know both the Wadud and Friedlander and like them a lot. Thanks for the tips Thanks Mark. I’m not familiar with him (yet)

Never been there physically (well when I was 2). I’ve ordered lots of music from Black Monk who is specialized in jazz. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KuYze4tDVrQK174q8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy https://www.schallplatten-ankauf-verkauf.at

Ah Rhodesian Ridgebacks are beautiful dogs, congrats Dan! It’s only going to take a few days before he puts his teeth in that cd/dvd/book collection 😋

so glad this one was selected for the TP series. I just love Andrew Hill. I could definitely see why Matthew Shipp mentioned him in his ‘Black Mystery School Pianists.’ A true original on the instrument.

As I was listening to the Sankt Gerold Tapes by Evan Parker, Barre Philips and Paul Bley I really enjoyed the parts where Phillps was soloing. Well I enjoyed every single part of the album but it made me realize i havent got a solo bass record. So my question: what are your favorite bass solo albums? Thy may only name five

Really like his sound on that one. A favorite of mine

I've always liked Heart is a Melody and the Live album a lot. Not so much into the other stuff so I am not picking this up. But I must say: very nice to see Mosaic selecting less obvious material for a new set

I always find this series highly enjoyable and among Petersons best work.

Agreed and very recognizable. When I was in Gent last weekend I visited 5 record stores and didn't buy anything, nor had I seen anything interesting. They all had a coffee bar filled with people who probably call themselves 'hip'. Some of them had enourmous ammounts of second hand bins with the same 1 dollar crap. All unsorted which really doesn't make me want to explore anymore. Small jazz sections with the same Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins compilation LP's no one is interested in. Yikes...

Yeah that’s a great one. I love Elmo Hope. I agree. There are some very good arts but also less interesting parts. It’s too inconsistent.

Great stuff! Would love to visit if I’m London. Still looking for the ‘90’s Vortex recording by the same trio.

For only 10 a piece a special price according to Barry Guys wife! Happy to the add these to the collection.

Yeah! So glad to have seen them. Evan Parker, Barry Guy and Paul Lovens. They only played for like 45 minutes but it was worth the long drive. Their playing was amazing, still at the same level as ten, twenty, or thirty years ago. the whole setting was lovely. Admission was completely free, a festival setting in the middle of a park in Gent, Belgium. I walked in a half hour before the start, got myself a nice Belgian Tripel, sat down listening to the birds for a while and then these guys started playing. Unforgettable experience. After the concert I was able to buy three cds by them for only 10 euros a piece from Barry Guys wife

Yeah I once made the mistake to skip a McCoy Tyner gig, thinking he would come to the Netherlands again but he didn’t and died a year later. I very much regretted that decision. Evan Parker plays in Belgium so that’s a 3 hours a drive for me but I decided to bring me wife and make it a two day trip to the city of Gent

Preparing for seeing mister Parker live coming Thursday! I now also see I need to dust off my Kallax 😳
