    I thought it wa very well balanced between the two of them. I am a huge fan of Hamid's so I might be a little biased.
  3. I also enjoy this one, but it is definitely less accessible than many of the other discs recommeded above. Dried Rat Dog is a great one, too.
  4. This one was just released and is fantastic!

    The thought has crossed my mind.... The Russian improv was received last night. I brought them into work today and will give them a listen after I get out of a few meetings this morning. Thanks again!

    These Cecil Taylor albums on FMP are fantastic! Another phenomenal disc here.
  7. The "investment" argument can be a good one. I once sold a single cd for over $200 on ebay. That disc paid for most of my new music purchases for quite a few months.
  8. No, I am happily married. My wife is, luckily, very understanding of my passion for music.
  9. When you start buying cds you already own. When you have a stack of cds you bought the month before that you still haven't listened to for the first time. Other than that, I don't believe it is possible to buy too much music.
  10. up, with price reduction
  11. Have you heard Beaster, by Sugar yet? IMO it is far superior to File Under Easy Listening.
  12. I'm going to have to place an order for this one very soon. I have never heard Conquistador, in any format. I've been on a Cecil kick recently (Nailed is playing right now) and I'm itching to hear this music for the first time. I'll be sending the bill for "added cd buying expenses based on hard to resist review" to your attention, Jim.

    I am enjoying it, but it is suffering in comaprison with Nailed and Brewing Luminous.

    Hold on tight, things are about to go crazy... Wow...I thought Brewing Luminous was an intense CT experience. Nailed is fantastic...extremely dense music, very intense and very rewarding.

    Wonderful, wonderful disc! This one has exceeded my high expectations. Very highly recommended.
  18. This album is fantastic! Has anyone else had a chance to listen to a copy yet? I am very impressed after one listen.
  19. You won't go above $71? I will, just not right now. As much as I would like to have this set I found it hard to justify spending the money after all of my recent purchases were added up.
  20. I'm out. Good luck on getting a high return on this one jacknife!

    I'm listening to Cecil Taylor's The Willisau Concert right now. I am really enjoying this disc. Very lyrical, by Cecil's standards.
  22. The $51 bid would be me, so I am hoping it doesn't jump too much more! I should have picked up this set years ago but still haven't heard most of the music it contains.

    Is anyone here familar with Noah Howard? I heard this disc for the first time today and enjoyed it enough to look into more of his work. I was not blown away on first listen and was wondering how representative of the rest of his work this set is. Those who do not like vocalizations with their jazz are advised to pass on this disc.

    One of only three dates Denis Charles led before he passed away. A fantastic live set recorded in 1991, this has been OOP but was recently reissued by Eremite. Highly recommended!
