Has anybody ever placed a successful overseas order through the Universal Japan website?

75th Anniversary festivities are over, so, I guess, no more repressings. In the end I think this will mean the last batch from 2015 will become more rare because fewer discs will end up being made and sold. Also OOP are Donald Byrd's I'm Trying To Get Home and Joe Henderson's Mode For Joe. Both March 2015 titles.

"Smokestack" - although with two bass players - counts as piano trio recording in my books .... And there is an excellent Hill trio record buried on disc 2 of Mosaic Select 16. That makes two, and it wasn't exactly raining Andrew Hill trio records in the 70s and 80s.

This is an easier goal to achieve for those who have been collecting jazz for a couple of decades more than people like me (since about 1996-7) and have huge collections in antiquated formats like vinyl.

I wasn't aware of this series. Interesting. A Google search turned up you can listen to the whole thing online here.

I was wondering the same thing.

Mary Halvorson Trio - Ghost Loop (For Tune) Mary Halvorson - Meltframe (Firehouse 12)

Pre-order prices in Europe for the 3 CD set are outrageous at the moment, certainly compared to the Miles Bootleg Series sets from Sony. Whether or not I will pick this set up will now completely depend on the quality of the remastering. I'll download a FLAC rip through bittorrent first, and then possibly wait for a good deal.

Volkswagen's new ad campaign continued on another HBO show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

Volkswagen launched their new ad campaign on Real Time with Bill Maher. I can't see it doing them much good ....

Dick will try to put one more in than Louis this afternoon.

I'm on OS X, but Firefox has devolved into a real mess to the point of being useless. I used to prefer Firefox, but now no longer even have it installed.

I might go for this.

Later tonight, Black Mirror season 1 episode 1.

So do I. I'm only selling this because I also have a copy of the SHM-CD from 2008. Both the hybrid SACD (mastered by Steve Hoffman) and the SHM-CD (Bernie Grundman) have the bonus tracks.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171951801602?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 I'm selling an audiophile release of Sonny Clark Trio (Time Records). Hybrid SACD - Audio Fidelity (AFZ 006) Thank you for looking.

Don't they speak ancient Celt where you are? Suppressed elsewhere by the Anglo-Saxons! The list is of course silly - I can't quite work out if the researchers came up with it or if it was made up from responses to their survey. It's the main article I find interesting - the idea that your 'Normans', instead of using 'Culture' and 'Art' to exclude the masses are now welcoming the masses in as long as they admire it on their terms (i.e. keeping power in their hands). I'm not sure it's that recent a phenomena - after all the original Reithian briefing of the BBC included 'educating' and the Third Programme (now Radio 3) made quite clear what people needed educating about (lots of string quartets but let's keep that jazz stuff to a minimum). You can see something parallel going on in the machinations of our political leaders at present. Out go the traditional or sociological class demarcations of old. We now have two classes - The Hard Working Family; and the Scroungers and their Apologists. By encouraging the middle 60% to believe that they are part of the first group and need to despise the second, attention is deflected from themselves hanging onto their privileges and extending them. So by encouraging all those Hard Working Families to embrace 'our' culture there's no danger of it ever being taken away. There was a good recent example of rallying everybody to 'our' culture in defence of 'God Save The Queen'. Hence our modern Dutch 'Participation Society' which recently replaced the old Welfare State for this very reason. If you cannot participate you should do the decent thing, fuck off and die, or at least hang your head in shame and apologise, apologise, etc., according to the Hard Working ethics.

The Platinum SHM-CD is very nice for the above mentioned reasons. The APO hybrid SACD is also very good. The most recent single disc Verve issue Lon mentions is loud garbage and should be avoided at all costs. (Not to stir up old arguments, but I've come to the conclusion Lon likes anything a record company hangs 24bit label on.)

Why isn't the following point included? 41. Knowledge of old and new testaments for a proper understanding of classic literature

3 CD Super Deluxe Edition: A personal introduction by that halfwit Carlos Santana! Fuck's sake. ------------- "This release will kick off a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Verve label, which will include myriad catalog releases, digital exclusives and box sets through the end of 2016." Hmmm.

What a talent Martial is. The third goal by Mata, however, was preceded by so much passing and possession it must have driven the whiners nuts.

I'm very sorry to hear this. There is no doubt in my mind that my own Golden Retriever has a better character than 99% of the Homo sapiens I meet in my life. It seems your Coltrane was made from the same mold.

Actually, Shepp is on the second ALS session (10 December). The originally released LP tracks are all from 9 December.
