And the journey begins. Disc 1 with Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez is awesome! Holy crap. This is very immersive. Cosmic Funk indeed! This honestly feels like the flower that is the tone world that Mr. Parker has created, has fully opened and it is aww inspiring.

My copy arrived today. Probably won’t get around to it u til tomorrow though.

Thanks for the heads up!!

Second one is Billy Harper?

Makoto Kawashima - 2020-10-01 followed by Makoto Kawashima - 2020-11-23 FANTASTIC stuff here. Hearing Makoto on piano for the first time is sublime

Can you provide any more information about this? I know it was brought up in the Sonny thread but I don't know when/why this became a pact with some labels not following it.

I love this forum

I agree. As I tell my wife, if these endeavors go unsupported, we will not see them in the future. Just because I got the William Parker set and two large orders of Japanese releases in the last 6 weeks I have to hold off for a little bit. This will be purchased though.

This pandemic is a very sobering time. My wife has lost a couple more family members and my job has released emails informing of a half a dozen passings in the last week.

Downtown Music Gallery also has it listed in their newsletter

placed a large order from Cedric at https://japanarchives-mailorder.com. This is my favorite site to peruse from Japanese artists and Cedric is super reliable. Highly recommend anyone looking for this music to start here. I have bought every Makoto Kawashima release from him and they always arrive fast. Really excited for the Masayoshi Urabe 3 LP set he released on his label in Dec. Beautiful packaging.

Poo with Hino isn’t my favorite setting for Poo. It stays contained even in a Poo composition. Still a good date and recommended if you can find it for a good price. It’s SACD and Japan only so it can be pricey.

I don’t think it’s those sets either but they definitely are original given the test pressing date is from 2000

Peter Brotzmann - I Surrender Dear (Solo Tenor Saxophone) A departure from the typical Brotzmann solo as he plays (his) version of standards here. Quite enjoyable.

It is excellent. I picked it up on a whim from Squidco as part of their "at cost" sale. Each musician composed a side of the LP. I'm a bigger fan of Wooley than Vandermark but this is a really good duo set.

I hope your shipping is as quick as mine was. Mine shipped out Monday and arrived Wednesday via DHL. Insanely fast.

This set is magic. With as much as I love Tethered Moon (Kikuchi/Peacock/Motian) the Great 3 with Togashi in place of Motain is a different animal that works in a very transcendent way IMO. The interplay is more interesting.

I think Second Floor Music is Don Sickler’s publishing company. I admittedly don’t understand publishing all that well but maybe he bought the publishing rights to Cliffords catalog or controls them for a fee for the Brown family. It would make sense a publishing company could collect better than a family.

Arrived today!

Pretty terrible sound quality. I would steer clear.

That sucks. Brexit was going to be a difficult transition without a pandemic.

I think the cost in shipping plus sheer effort required to fill out the customs form now make it prohibitive for some to ship. My self included. I would have to charge too much for my time and effort to ship abroad it’s not worth it to myself or the buyer. Especially if you’re selling as a hobby. I mean I shipped one record from the US to Canada last summer and it cost over $25. And the was the cheapest option.
