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.

That’s an incredibly long list. I have seen a few new restaurants open in my area and every time I see it, it shocks me that someone makes that move right now.
