No but thanks for that offer that was very kind! You might wanna dig them out yourself now after all

Finally it’s here!!!!!! Very glad this al turned out good. Definitely want to thank Matt for making this happen and feeling a little sorry now for my impatient attitude…. What a great project. This is a lot of stuff to digest that I’ll probably going to spread all over this year. I placed the cds in protective sleeves as I saw some small scratches already. I destroyed two Hatology cds by slipping them in and out of the cardboard and learned from that mistake. Hope others get their stuff soon as well.

Still hoping for Alkebu-Lan here.... Pure Pleasure did quite a lot of good reissues of the Strata East catalogue. But for some reason: they skipped the Mtume.

I do have an extra booklet but not the box itself though..

Matt did respond to my mail. All Nimbus mail comes in my spam folder so you might wanna check that too.

Oh yes and he made so many great records…. I must say I still can’t stand Aebi’s vocals but I am able to just listen trough it and enjoy the rest. I love her cello playing by the way.

Yeah I second some of the suggestions here for sure; - Atomic: The Bikini Tapes and Boom Boom - Angles: By Way of Deception, Injuries and Dissapeared Behind the Sun - School Days - In our Times Paal Nilssen Love is a big favorite of mine. I never cared much for Mats Gustafsson but he’s quite popular as well. Not necessarily contemporary but far from traditional and very Scandinavian are the works of Jan Johansson which I highly recommend: Jazz Pa Svenska and Jazz Pa Ryska. It’s the kind of music you’d like to play when you’re poking the fire in your Swedish forest cabin. Not that I’ve ever done that but I’d like to and than listen to Johansson highly atmospheric tunes

I am definitely going to do that.

highly enjoyable pianist. I feel ashamed I only got to know her just recently

That’s great Mark enjoy them!

I now see that only two other Discogs members own a copy. I feel pretty lucky then 😇

Definitely. It’s a V-Pine edition from the late 80’s. More classic 60’s Freejazz. Marzette Watts and company. Great company that is: Byard Lancaster, Clifford Thornton, Henry Grimes, Jooney Booth, Karl Berger, Sonny Sharrock, J.C. Moses.

Probably not… I am happy when it’s finally here

It’s on its way now 🎉🥳👏

That’s great news! I contacted Matt and got a t&t immediately but the package has not been shipped yet.

Yeah that might be true. I wouldn’t buy any reissue on one of the labels I mentioned above anyway.

I contacted CamJazz and apparently all the reissues by Eargong, Goodfellas and Our Swimmer are legit. I’ve heard bad stories about all of them and I assume they are all MP3 files pressed on vinyl. I think Cam just accepts every offer they get. A pity as their awesome catalogue deserves a good reissue program.

Yeah it’s ridiculous to pay that amount for the music but it might be a good investment if you’re in it just for the money. After all it’s a first pressing of what is probably the best known jazz album ever. It’s probably getting worth more every year .

I am with the Berlin Concert. It’s classic Noah Howard. I think he was in his prime in the ‘70’s.

Well I think it’s one of the more popular records from the label just like the Moontrane. It’s a Jordan favorite of my for sure. But differences in prices are very big indeed.

Definitely 🥰

Great story Niko I think it’s probably the other way around though I must say it’s the first time I read something by Marcuse. I am told it’s a difficult read but we’ll see. The Bergson I just finished was very interesting but tough to get trough. I did read quite a lot of Nietzsches works and must say he’s one of the more accessible philosophers. His style is one of the most beautiful ones in the genre, well I might dare to say it’s the most beautiful that I know off. I always write down the most interesting or catchy aphorisms and quotes from my books and Nietzsche is the one Ive quoted the most It must be even more beautiful in German
