international jazz morning it is

McCoys playing is great but I really dislike those voices

Season one. My wife doesn’t get it and I just keep laughing. A classic.

Just finished this one. Happen to be handling Spinoza with my students these weeks as well. Together with Nietzsche Spinoza is my big philosopher hero. He was about 300 years ahead of his time. To be honest I'd say a lot people could still learn a lot from him. Now I am almost finishing this one. I have a very weird paradoxally feeling with it: on one hand I think it's pretty boring, on the other hand I want to keep reading it and it's very relaxing to do so. Interesting stuff... From wednesday I will be in Ghana for 9 days with my students. This ones coming with me: I am really a rookie in African philosphy so time to dive into it. I am familiar with Achille Mbembe but it stops right there.

Mal had moved on for a decade (70’s) and in the 80’s he moved sorta back sometimes to standard material.

Me too. Resonance isn’t particularly known for putting out high quality vinyl editions. If it appears to be Dexter Gordon with George Cables on piano that would be fine as well 😅

Definitely get all those Rivers! They are all great and volume one is my favorite.

Mal and Sonny Stitt in 1979. Definitely could be interesting though I prefer to hear Mal with more ‘out’ musicians. I’d buy it anyway to keep that Waldron collection complete….

It’s very good. Clear and well balanced. Tyler in the left and Cross in the right. Nice bass. Definitely sounds like it comes from the tapes by o believe that was already confirmed

wow this exceeds expectations. Truly a monumental reissue. The 25 page booklet comes with a fascinating essay and info on Tyler and beautiful photographics. Sonics are great. It’s only January but this could be definitely reissue of the year already. Piece of art. Hype sticker quotes some guy called Clifford Allen. Anyone around here know who that is? 😜 great to see you were involved in this project! A track like return from the east defines what Freejazz is to me.

I have the International Phonographic 2LP reissue which is so great!

I hope for a box with the best recordings. I’d say it would be fair to put out the rest as an additional download?

JazzMessengers ain’t an option for you guys overseas?

Indeed it is Mike. As soon as I started the first record I started gazing trough my collection and picked out all kinds of records that I can’t wait for to play on my new TT I have serious trouble to decide what’s next 🤣

My copy is on it's way from Germany. Looking forward to it.

I love that album. Great pick Lonson

86 cds sound like a decent box set to me. 172 LP version for me than. With 100 versions of Giant Steps? 😅
