We can label it The Shot Ward.

It's almost a bit like colouring for adults. Then, when a separate sub-forum is created, we'll see if our greying enthusiasts can still colour strictly between the lines.

Bootleg: Henry Threadgill & Very Very Circus, April 7, 1993, Bobigny, Paris, France.

Bootleg DVD: Tim Buckley Starsailor Band, 15 September, 1970, Los Angeles, CA. Boboquivari Show, KCET, PBS.

Listen to Nefertiti in the very different original Teo Macero mix on the MFSL Hybrid SACD and there is no going back to Wilder's remix. Same for Sorcerer, only the Nefertiti MFSL sounds even better than Sorcerer's.

The latter for the Macero mix. That's the Complete Columbia Album Collection from 2009, right?

Now or never, I bought a couple of Cecil Taylor albums on Discogs I did not already own, or of which my discs had suffered some damage (Salty & Luminous). One More Salty Swift And Not Goodbye (1991 version, hat ART CD 2-6090) It Is In The Brewing Luminous (1989 version, hat ART CD 6012) For Olim (Soul Note - 121150-2) Alms/ Tiergarten Spree (FMP CD 8 / 9)

Some of Teo Macero's effects could not be recreated. Other than that, the original mix is darker in atmosphere. The remix is very transparent and often mastered too loud for my taste. The 40th anniversary remaster of the remix is the best version of the remix imo, but pales in comparison to MFSL's Macero mix Hybrid SACD. I don't have a turntable, so I have never been able to play the 40th anniversary original mix vinyl from the box set. Only slab of vinyl I own.

I have hardly listened to the remix since the Complete Columbia Albums box and then the MFSL Hybrid SACD appeared. Very noticeable indeed.

Disc 11 now. Must own box set. Get a newspaper round if you have to.

If you can afford air conditioning, summer can be very pleasant.

Autumn can start tomorrow, as far as I am concerned.

My favourite (young) classical pianist. Hopefully there will be a new release soon. I loved his Rzewski recording.

R.I.P. Cecil Taylor. Damn! Impossible to put into words how great Cecil Taylor was. Thank you, Mr. Taylor. I was listening to some of Cecil's Berlin recordings this afternoon unaware he had passed away. North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague, 1976.

I think it's value for money.

Last week I finally bought from CD Japan the latest reissue of Booker Little's Time album, thankfully still available, and Freddie Hubbard's Straight Life. Features latest remastering. Hopefully as good as the Blu-spec CD of Red Clay with its flat transfer.
