great news! I've been wanting to hear your disc for a while now. how do you guys do (financially) when someone dls your disc off of emusic? I'm just curious if you see any reasonable amount. Otherwise I'll have to wait until I'm off of my current cd buying moratorium and buy a copy directly from you guys.

Yes, they do. That would be another great place to contact.

as much as I really wanted to like this disc it never really clicked for me. I kept thinking how much better Fela's original versions were. One track, I think it was Water No Get Enemy, was fun, but on the whole I didn't think it was a keeper. I might have to go back and give it one more chance.

Rape has nothing to do with "stature" "looks" or the "need to force himself upon anyone" for sex. Rape is about power, using sex to force ones will on another. Saying that he is innocent due to his good looks and money is naive, at best. I have no idea if he is guilty or innocent...that is for the court to decide. I just hope that no more women have to be treated as if their rapist was the victim because they were "in a place they shouldn't have been" or "wearing provocative clothes," etc...

get the box. I did, based on, I believe, Dmitry's recommendation back on the BNBB and never regretted it. It looks like the Knit's site is down for purchases, so I would recommend going Canadian. www.vergemusic.com $70 canadian, which equals $49.88 US. I can't remember if they waive the shipping on an order this size or not. At just over $6 a disc you really can't go wrong.

I just noticed that no one has mentioned Boston yet. I would suggest starting with the Middle East, in Cambridge. They book primarily rock, but I have seen jazz there before. 1).

If you do decide to head up this way and want more suggestions let me know. I could try to find the contact info for Nectar's, if you are looking for the complete old-school Phish vibe. Possibly the FlynnSpace, too, but their website lists rental fees, which is probably not what you were hoping to see.

I have to agree w/ Joe Christmas on this one. Caddy is a fine album, but nothing great. I never hear that spark, know what I mean. It is a solid, middle of the road Mobley album. Not anywhere near his best work but not worth getting rid of.

I was recently able to pick up sealed copies of Air Mail and Live Air. Other than the Nessa released Air Time I had never seen any of their discs for sale.

you know, I've never heard Magic Sam. Based on the comments above I think I need to check out West Side Soul asap...

or Chuck...I really hope we get to hear the story of how this session came to light asap.

great news! congratulations! (and I second the comment to take a nap whenever you can!)

I'll wait for them to reissue the discs with alternate takes before buying a copy.

Neu! - Neu 2 Fugazi - 13 Songs Pretty Girls Make Graves - Good Health Mama Sissoko - Soleil de Minuit Zakir Hussain - Sambandh Trans Am - Surrender to the Night Mono - One Step More and You Die Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out Test - Test (Aum)

get everything. you will, eventually. such a great body of work! you have already gotten some great recommendations above, but I will throw in my 2 cents as well: Rip, Rig and Panic Inflated Tear I, Eye, Aye

speaking of Peter Kowald (indirectly) and Brotz, I can't believe I forgot to recommend his most recent disc on Eremite - Never Too Late But Always Too Early, a live set w/ Drake and Parker recorded in Montreal in April of 2001. This set is dedicated to the memory of Kowald. This is a phenomenal set! 2 discs for $22 direct from Eremite.

great choices so far! a more modern recommendation - R.L. Burnside - Burnside on Burnside. This is my favorite disc of his right now.

impossible - thanks for the recommendations! I'll be checking out both bands soon. personally, I've been "discovering" a lot of new music recently. Cecil Taylor, for one. mostly his solo work. Up next is Art Pepper, who I have never heard before. I downloaded Straight Life, Meets the Rhythm Section, the Complete Village Vanguard and the Hollywood Allstar sets off of emusic, so i have a wealth of new material to explore. For non-jazz I've recently "discovered" King Sunny Ade and a band called SIANspheric, who are a nice mix of fuzzed-out noise mixed with My Bloody Valentine-ish drone mixed with some nice melodic sensibilities.
