Boring. Essentially the same problem as last time.

Info file from the Dimeadozen torrent below. Sound quaility is not particularly good imo. Cecil Taylor Unit The Power Center Michigan State University at Ann Arbor Ann Arbor, Michigan United States of America 15 April 1976 Cecil Taylor (piano) Jimmy Lyons (alto sax) David S. Ware (tenor sax) RaphÈ Malik (trumpet) Marc Edwards (drums) 01. Wavelets Part One 1:53 02. Wavelets Part Two 8:31 03. Wavelets Part Three 22:07 04. Petals 13:51 (incomplete, cuts out) Total Time: 46:24 FM>?>Trade CD>EAC>FLAC>Vuze>Dimeadozen Broadcast Recording Original broadcast WCBN-FM / National Public Radio "Jazz Alive" This tape is the second set of the Ann Arbor concert. Track one is an interesting piece in that it differs from the usual Taylor ensemble methodology: The piece begins with a drum solo (there is a split-second drop-out about 1:00 in); leads into a piano-tenorsax duet; [11:00 in] segues into a piano-altosax-drum trio segment; [18:00 in] becomes a piano-trumpet duo until ending. Does a recording of the first set exist? Reference is also made to a tape at 50:00 with "Heather" and an unknown title. óRL There is also a tape circulating listed as "2 tracks, 48:00." On this tape the tracks have been somehow reversed. The sound quality (not very good on track 1) descends to near horrible on the "unknown title," and proceeds to the end commentary by A.B. Spellman of NPR's "Jazz Alive." The 2nd track begins and ends with edit cuts. Taylor's voice is not heard here. Drummer Marc Edwards: "We did a torrid [first] set... After we finished playing, we were taking a break, and Cecil told us that we had to do a second show. I was completely burned out. I started off the set doing a drum solo. I don't recall the breakdowns that followed. I think Cecil and Jimmy played together, David S. Ware may have soloed by himself or he may have performed as a duo with Malik. It's hard to recall now. Eventually, the entire band did play together as an ensemble towards the end. I don't know the name of that piece." The applause following track one leads to Cecil Taylor's calling out "Petals... just once through... Petals..." The very ending of this track is cut offó(just a few moments from where the announcement by NPR appears on the inferior tape discussed above.) óRL Marc Edwards: "I remember the 'Petals' composition to this day. Cecil wrote wonderful melodic lines. We had a ball playing that piece during a tour on the West Coast and later, in Europe. We first performed this song during the band's one week stay at the KeyStone Korner in San Francisco." Marc Edwards (after hearing the tape): "I was under the impression that we were going to do only one set. When Cecil announced that we were going to play some more, I was surprised. The second set begins with a drum solo... Cecil's bands do not generally provide many opportunities for drum solos. This concert presents a rare chance to hear me in this context. My primary function was to play behind the band members supporting their musical ideas and concepts. To become a good soloist, one has to solo on a regular basis. What the fans heard on the second set was the stuff that I play behind the ensemble. Towards the very end of my solo, I began to get the hang of it. Just as I started moving into a different area, Cecil and David began to play. They had quietly entered the stage. The audience was great responding favorably to what I had played. (Fans interested in hearing more should listen to my drum solo on the Black Queen CD. 'Bumblebees and Marigold Flowers' is good. 'Pi R Squared,' from the Time & Space Vol. 1, is another interesting solo. A musician's playing really does improve as the years go by. Getting back to the second set, David S. Ware's performance with Cecil was outstanding. During those days, critics and writers labeled David as just another screaming fiery tenor saxophonist. David S. Ware is much more than that. Unlike most Free Jazz saxophonists, David has far more range and depth. He and Cecil are in fine form, exploring the musical layers melodically. This a side that many writers couldn't hear. Jimmy and RaphÈ followed, each performing in a similar spirit that pervaded the second set. Jimmy Lyons is no longer with us. If he were alive, I would love to work with him. The passage of time has helped me to mature. With the knowledge that I now have, I would know how to support his improvisations better." {Primary Source: CD-R; Marc Edwards for venue infoófrom a notice referenced in The Michigan Daily, dated Friday, April 16, 1976, Vol. LXXXVI, No. 161. } Discographical information adapted from the David S.

As long as they have the new transfers and masterings, I don't care if these aren't SHMs. Cheaper is better. Just don't lower the quality of booklets like Sony Japan does for their budget reissues.

I will be severely disappointed if Andrew Hill's first four albums don't see an SHM release.

I'm about to watch the first few episodes of Marvel's new Daredevil Netflix series.

Right at the end of that first episode of Better Call Saul there is a payoff for fans of Breaking Bad with a promise of a lot of action in episode two, which was broadcast the next day by AMC (the premiere was on a Sunday). So, hardly an uneventful start. During the rest of the season, this show can take it slow with Saul and Mike in places precisely because we have known them for years. After yesterday's finale the stage is set for Saul to break bad.

"lowe hath no equal. " - alocispepraluger 102 Happy Resurrection!

If Jesus died on a Friday afternoon and was resurrected after three days why aren't Christians celebrating Easter on a Monday? Did Jesus jump the gun?

So far we have: Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis The Three Sounds - Hey There Joe Henderson - Mode For Joe Any other titles with unreleased tracks discovered now that the March 2015 batch has been released?

Ornette Coleman - Change Of The Century (SHM-CD, WQCP-1081) The 2011 SHM of This Is Our Music (WQCP-1082) came highly recommended, so I thought I'd try Change Of The Century (WQCP-1081). This SHM-CD does not have the white hot treble of the recent Japanese Warner budget CDs I heard (no Coleman titles). Good, (very) deep, detailed bass. However, it is a bit louder than the HD Tracks release of Change Of The Century. It also lacks the more natural sound of the CD layer of the ORG Music hybrid SACD of The Shape Of Jazz To Come, which I prefer, and which has more comfortable volume levels typical of such audiophile releases. I don't regret getting this given Beauty Is A Rare Thing has the album spread over two discs with non-album tracks in between. I also don't doubt it must be better than the recent budget release. The ORG Music release is IMO a definite upgrade over Beauty Is A Rare Thing. The SHM-CD is very good, but I would have liked it even better if the volume levels had matched those of the HD Tracks release or the ORG Music release.

Monoceros playing. My dog seems the least bit bothered. Right now, he's enthusiastically licking his paws and 'johnson'.

That's interesting - Martin told me last year that Evan was winding up his psi venture This will probably be a copy of the Chronoscope CD or has it been remastered? I've got both Chronoscope CDs & am happy with them - regret not getting SME's Karyobin at the time (this was also on Chronoscope) - this definitely needs reisseuing Very nice foldout digipak. Both LP and 1999 (Steve Lake) liner notes included. Digitally remastered by David Bernez. Same as Chronoscope?

Ahmad Jamal?

And it's successor: "Tapje". And now there's also the luxury item, "The Sub". The home tap 2.0.

All I know is, my dog doesn't mind a little Evan Parker. Monoceros should be here tomorrow. Let's see what he makes of it.

Brand is another very bitter beer. I like it even less.

Now I'm curious. I just downloaded Battlefield Earth in 1080p through bittorrent. I could use a good laugh. Update It's unbelievably retarded. WTF?

In Holland, Heineken is good when it's from the tap and cold. When it warms up it gets really bitter. When I was a teenager, some colleagues drank uncooled Heineken from bottles after work. I tried one and nearly threw up. I don't like the excessive bitterness of Heineken. But I'm more of a red wine lover.

I have Cafe Bohemia Vol.1 and it is excellent, but do not own the RVG. I did own the RVG of Ornette's Golden Circle Vol. 1, and while that album was very good, the SHM is even better. There's just the question of Vol.2 ever being made available on SHM for both titles. Perhaps this April Fool's Day a new batch of SHMs will be announced, but within the time zone Japan is in it's probably 2 April by now.

Won't help your water supply. I read LA has about a year's worth left.

What a creep Hubbard was. Those colour interviews, look at that lower lip and those teeth! Ugh.
