Coming Nov. 13th on Cuneiform Records. Vinny Golia - tenor, soprano, & baritone saxophones Henry Kaiser - guitar Wayne Peet - Hammond B3 & Yamaha YC-45D Organs Mike Watt - bass John Hanrahan - drums This is a pretty interesting project and I'm looking forward to hearing it. Not surprising Henry says he was inspired by the Yo Miles! series with Wadada. I have my copy pre-ordered. There is a performance with some different personal and some background from Henry Kaiser on the project in the video below. Pre-Order = Bandcamp and Amazon

Prince - Dance, Music, Sex, Romance 3LP bootleg 2LPs are commonly referred to as Small Club from 1988 and the 3rd LP is from Dortmund, Germany also 1988. I do enjoy finding Prince boots on vinyl.

any update on the mystery box?

And this is why “jazz” is dead

Reading your statement carefully doesn’t change “But what I am more concerned about is what johnny-come-lately people/celebs like Jason Moran have to say”. You can change your narrative after being called out, but if you really did wonder if he had in-depth knowledge before researching anything about Jason’s work regarding the period, you didn’t need to include the above statement. Also Jason’s been on the scene for 20+ years. How is that Johnny-come-lately?

Definitely a great gig. Dexter was in top form.

Typica of the live recordings of the era is my best description. I had not heard the previous cd release so I can’t compare it to that, but I would say a bit flat sounding dynamically and like they took a mono recording and made it stereo (I’m guessing they did but haven’t researched it) but it is immaculately pressed.

I didn’t see Stonebone on the list at my shop. how is that Sonny? I’m not as familiar with his Varitone stuff.

Agreed! Almost passed to wait for the cd which included two more songs but figured i would just check on Apple Music. I don’t have the Squirrel so I decided to splurge.

Picked up the RSD release today along with the Squirrel (haven't spun yet, probably will get to it tomorrow). Mighty fine indeed.

Album of the year for me so far. Immaculately constructed for our times.

I haven’t had anything to dump after cleaning a dozen sides between last night and this morning. You don’t use a lot of solution so it makes sense.

Nice. I was looking for a Nitty Gritty but decided on the Record Doctor since it was on Prime. Pretty much the same machine. Also toyed with the idea of ultrasonic cleaning set up but decided against it. I'm waiting for the upgraded KAB bearing/platter kit. Should be here this weekend.

I upgraded to the Record Doctor V. Well worth the investment. Improved upon the Studebaker cleaning substantially. I liked the Studebaker but it was just too inconvenient.

Noah Preminger - Contemptment never a dull release from Mr. Preminger

The thing I find fascinating in any article about race is the need to implant a minority, even when their contribution is irrelevant. thats just a tangent though. I find it interesting that there was a concern that this would be broadcast over loudspeaker at a farmers market and that is what gave pause. I like dust to digital and what they do but I always feel those digging into their compilations know what they're getting. Their audience is very niche, at least I always assumed that.

I wouldn’t consider grey markets stuff for me to complete my collection personally.

I’m pretty sure I have the complete discography of Bob Reynolds as a leader/co-leader. I have everything from Christian Scott as a leader. These are all relatively small compared to Mal. I would estimate I have 85% of Vinny Golia’s releases as a leader/co-leader. Anything Makoto Kawashima releases I buy. I’m working on Masabumi Kikuchi discography but it’s hard and expensive. I’m also working on getting the complete Asian Improv Records catalog slowly.

Disc 3 which is basically B-Sides/edits. This set is something to behold especially if you are a Prince fan. (I still contend his best album, though I understand the disagreement with my contention, is Emancipation.) I followed this with my favorite Bowie album (which I know is controversial as well):

Nicholas Payton - Relaxin' With Nick

Vinny Golia and Peter Kowald - Mythology

Per Wikipedia: Television coverage of the 1965 baseball World Series included an advertisement by Chrysler that featured a version of Morgan's recording.[8] Morgan was watching the program, did not know that his composition was to be used, and found out the next day that its use had not been authorized.[8] After Morgan threatened to sue, Chrysler agreed not to show the advertisement again and settled the case.[8] [8] Perchard, Tom (2006) Lee Morgan: His Life, Music and Culture, Equinox, p. 159.

I know what you mean. I probably wouldn’t have gotten it yet except I waited on the 1999 super deluxe and it went oop and doubled + in price. I enjoy Sign O The Times so much more I didn’t want to miss it.

Yeah, I think Compositions to Facts is a natural progression. In the UK my guess is outside of some of the early Ninewinds vinyl releases, you would only have the higher chance to see Puff of Smoke or One, Three, Two. One, Three, Two was a German release I think and Puff of Smoke an Italian release (not positive about either but I remember them being hard to find because they weren't released in the US). He also had Birdology on Leo Records which I'm not super high on, but honestly haven't spun it much.

I always felt like Vinny's large ensemble stuff is like an onion. With each listen your taking off another layer and its becoming more and more the music it was created to be. Facts of Their Own Lives, Pilgrimage to Obscurity, and Commemoration are probably where I would head next. The DVD's "Overview" and "20th Anniversary" are/were easy and cheap to find. I'm ashamed to admit I have Live at the Red Cat on DVD and haven't opened it yet. Will rectify soon. I used to see Vinny's cds cheap ($2 to $5) everywhere here (especially Amoeba and Poo Bah) so if anyone is looking for something I'm happy to keep my eyes peeled for you when/if I venture back out to record stores. This also made me think, though it would never happen, a Mosaic with Vinny's large enesemble stuff would be awesome.
