So they will include the two original albums. Exactly what I was hoping for!

First this: Levit's new double album Life closes with a performance of Bill Evans' Peace Piece. Now: Rzewski's The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

"Is considered by many, especially fellow musicians, one of his best European concerts." (Site seems to be only in Dutch?)

Clifford Jordan Quartet Glass Bead Games (Strata-East, BOM24104)

Full time 3 - 2 !

Marilyn Crispell & Gerry Hemingway Duo (Knitting Factory Works)

Liverpool 2 PSG 0 Liverpool picking up where they left off!

Anthony Braxton 20 Standards (Quartet) 2003 (Leo Records) Discs 1 through 3 so far. Stellar performances! Braxton Quartet playing Invitation right now.

I hope this does not mean the end for the remaining classical specialty stores. There is a very good classical music store left here in Haarlem in the Gierstraat (Bruno Klassiek), whereas you can't even find an equally good jazz store in Amsterdam anymore. Concerto's jazz department is not what it used to be, and it was never as good as certain others to be honest. The Jazz Center in The Hague still exists, but I haven't been there in many years, so I couldn't say how good it is now.

That's another thing about Wayne Shorter's Emanon. I might have the London concert already as a BBC broadcast along with many many more GBs of great concert broadcasts recorded after Beyond The Sound Barrier.

Joe Henderson Relaxin' At Camarillo (Universal Japan, UCCO-9443)

Wow! Now I'm even less inclined to buy Emanon. What about the quality of the book (binding) and packaging (easily damaged, scratching of the discs)?

Except the original Japanese CD of the Shinjuku concert, Miles! Miles! Miles!, contains the complete 11:33 minute version of Jean Pierre. Also missing are the Shinjuku versions of Black Seat Betty (20:18) and My Man's Gone Now (15:44). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles!_Miles!_Miles! I believe I read on the Hoffman board that this was a particularly good concert for the band, but not for Miles.

I see it contains my favourite Archie Shepp: The Way Ahead. I think I'll put the Japanese CD from 1992 on next: Archie Shepp The Way Ahead (MVCI-23080)

Is it as good as the others with the original line-up?

Impressive.

I don't follow tennis like I did 20 years ago, but didn't she also once physically threaten a line judge? Imagine doing that in other sports. You would be immediately sent off and given a healthy well earned ban. The same for this weekend's outburst. Serena seems to have a character issues imo. An enormous sense of entitlement. Very narcissistic behaviour. And FUCK that crowd of lemmings. All off this separate from the issues of sexism and racism which are real. If male athletes are not punished and/or fined for similar offences, that needs to be addressed. Is there a recent example of coaching of a male tennis player and the (same) umpire not punishing him? I did not see the whole match, and intend to watch the whole thing given the chance, given how big this has become.
