I'm planning on going to Amoeba in the next week or so for my birthday. I'll keep an eye out for them

I didn't but can scan the book this weekend if needed.

Christian Scott released a new album, which appears to be a self release available on bandcamp. I recently got the cd, I hold his music in high regard and he got me started with my journey into jazz with his Anthem album. As most do with jazz, I have moved past his Anthem album but have always felt he was growing as a player and more as a songwriter. Yesterday You Said Tomorrow is still, and will probably always be one of my favorite albums. I've listened to about half of Stretch Music. Although it does groove, I'm not in the head space to absorb it right now, it was sounding unfinished to me. I was trying to listen to it after Malcolm Goldstein "Live at Fire Valley" and the new Nate Wooley "(Dance To) The Early Music", so it could just be me. Anyone else had had a chance to hear it and have any thoughts?

I signed up for the free shows but not the subscription yet. Haven't been too impressed but it's new so I'll give it time. Both time I went to watch my stream was non-existent.

To me the Chicago scene is hit or miss. Some stuff is fantastic, while others leave me underwhelmed. Case it point, I got Frank Roslay's Cicada Music recently and have no intentions of playing it again anytime soon. Same this with the Klang and Chicago Luzern Exchange CDs I got. On a side note I did just order Fred Anderson's book Exercises for the Creative Musician. Pretty stoked to check it out.

Pm sent

If anyone knows where I can get a rear tray card I would appreciate it.

This. I only wish so many of his excellent titles were on the, to me, poorly sonically presented CIMP releases.

Definitely interested in the 7"

OMG! I remember that guy. All I can say at this point, many years later, is that I meant well, musically. There are a few tracks that don't make make me cringe. I still like "Ivory Burn." And I guess it's notable that I still have the only cover version of Tristano's "Turkish Mambo," as far as I know. But, yeah, I'm cringing, at least a little bit. But I'm glad you like it. haha, I think it's an enjoyable a respectable release. A few tracks sound dated (Geomusic 4006) but for the time I understand it. King Oliver in Savannah and Falling got multiple listens. Your chops are sting thoughout. I actually bought it on a whim thinking it might be your album but really wasn't sure. Definitely money well spent.

this is an excellent album

Jeff Crompton - Uncommon Goals Picked up this gem today while on lunch break. $6.50 well spent. That name seems awful familiar.....

How was it? They were here on Sat, but as huge a fan of Tyshawn and Ron as I am the Snowy Egret album was boring to me and didn't feel inclined to go.

Finally picked this up. Fantastic stuff!

I agree with erwbol. Pre-Clifton (although I doubt it will be) preferred.

Osby was fantastic! First time the group had played as a collective but you would have never known had Osby not announced it. Greg on alto of course, Joshua White on piano (he's a monster and honestly stole the show with each and every solo), Eric Revis on bass and the formidable Jonathan Pinson on drums. White solo'd on almost every song. Pinson had an epic solo at the end of the second set and Revis was given plenty of space to stretch out. Osby was in top form but he really let the others show out. It was a fantastic show. They did have Natalie Gooday (?) sing one song each set, which I think the crowd, myself included could have lived without, but White did solos in both standards that made them memorable.

Greg Osby Quartet at the Blue Whale tonight

Disc 1 - Fragments of Music, Life and Death of Albert Ayler Powerful stuff from a recent purchase. For anyone who thinks Brotzmann is about blowing your brains out, this Die Like A Dog collective will change your mind.

Should have the new Dave McDonnell Group - "The Time Inside A Year" on the Delmark label at my mailbox when I get home today.

Went to Amoeba yesterday and picked up Fred Anderson - Black Horn Long Gone Myron Walden - Higher Ground Ornette Coleman - To Whom Who Keeps A Record Frode Gjerstad - Through The Woods Salim Washington - Love In Exile and passed on the Joe Henderson Milestone Years box because it was a littler beat up only to come home and find a copy on Ebay for $25.

First song that comes to mind is Roy Hargrove's "Strasbourg/ St. Denis"

Love that Stooges vinyl. Always wish I have picked up the Jackson Square Brass Band cd when I was there 2 years ago. Every time I've seen them since they haven't had it.

/\ done. Thanks!! Christian Scott - Yesterday You SaidTomorrow. Bought it when it came out and got a second copy because I wanted the Borders only bonus cd. Single disc version free to a good US address

I'd like it if still available.

I file by the artist I like more
