  1. So, would the music on this set sound like the one in "Live at Fillmore East: It's About That Time" from March 1970?

    Somewhat - but that album is very heavy on In a Silent Way/Bitches Brew material. In the summer/fall of 1969, the band was still playing a lot of material from earlier in the '60s (Footprints, Masquelero) and even some tunes from the '50s (Round Midnight, Milestones, No Blues). Even those tunes get pretty abstract, though.

    Hmmm. That sounds very intriguing. I will check it out. Thanks.

  4. Glad to hear that this is coming out. But I myself could have done without the Imani Winds and more of the quartet. When I attended a concert with IW, I found the performance rather ungainly and boring. The pieces didn't breathe like the pieces with just the quartet. And I wish there was a recording of the dates with Jason Moran. Would be interested in hearing the differences.

  5. I bought this 2-LP set after reading this review and watching some videos on YouTube: http://freejazz-stef.blogspot.com/2012/05/thing-with-barry-guy-metal-nobusiness.html

    The Thing are Mats Gustafsson, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, and Paal Nilssen-Love, and is here joined by Barry Guy.

    Alas, it is not for me. I guess I like my free jazz a little less exuberant. I listened to the 2 LP's only once -- I actually listened to only the first 3 sides. So the set is practically new. The price of the set is $35.00 plus shipping at most sellers. It is yours for $24.00 including shipping within continental USA. Any takers?

    SOLD!!

  6. I've had a turntable only for a couple of years, and am not an audio equipment-phile by any means. I have a question some may be able to answer. When I play some of my records, the hi hat cymbal sounds less than crisp. It sounds like scattered electric noise, rather than the cymbals being struck crisply. I don't know how else to put it. Is there something I can do to improve the sound? This seems to happen especially often when I play the 200g audiophile Blue Note LP's from Classic Records. Perhaps this has to do with the quality of pressing more than my turntable (Rega P1), but perhaps I can do something to my turntable to improve the sound? Any help would be much appreciated.

  9. I don't know if I've ever mentioned this story here - but Al Haig spent a lot of time around 37th street (or somewhere around there) where he walked the dog for his former landlady. Wallington lived on the same street. Al told me, maybe in 1978, "hey I saw George Wallington the other day, he walked right by me." I was in awe of this encounter - think of it, two of the great mysterious piano-playing figures of the bebop era, running into each other.

    I asked, "what did you talk about?"

    "He said, 'hi Al.' I said, "hello George."

    That was it.

    ahh, real life....

    I've read something similar in a James Joyce biography once. Some Parisian hostess invited Joyce and Proust to dinner. Both came, to everyone's surprise in Proust's case. The hostess sat them down next to each other thinking that a great conversation would ensue, and everyone else would just bask in the resulting delight. But the only exchange occurred when Joyce turned to Proust mid-dinner, and asked "Do you like bon bons?" and Proust replied "No."

    God knows whether it is true, but it should be true.

  10. Thanks folks -- for many pointers. Maybe I should look into those more recent recordings.

    And thanks, Lon, for the Fresh Sound recommendation. But that one seems to have only the piano trio session, and not the strings session. (Hope you are doing well in Austin, which I miss very much!)

    I guess I will pick this up if an opportunity presents itself. I did see a copy in an Austin used record store once, but I passed on it because it was pretty scratched up.

  11. I've been listening to a lot of George Wallington lately. It seems most of his 1950's sessions are available on CD except for this Verve recording, which is partly a piano trio session and partly a strings session. Am wondering whether I should try to find a vinyl copy, which doesn't appear very common and maybe hard to track down. For those of you who have/know it, how is it? Thanks in advance.

  12. I am particularly fond of the 20-bit K2 remasters that JVC put out in the late 1990's. If you have any of the following for sale or trade, please send me a message. I am looking for copies in jewel cases, with both CDs and inserts in excellent condition. I know it's a long shot, but thought I should give it a shot here. Thanks in advance.

  13. I use CDJapan. Well packaged, good customer service, and reasonable shipping costs if you are willing to wait two-four weeks.
