  1. Oh, but you can - there are long clips straight on the Beat Club channel on YT. It was also released on DVD sometime ago https://www.discogs.com/release/3117370-Ginger-Bakers-Air-Force-Live-1970
  2. Cool news from German MiG label - some extended Beat Club performance in May, Airforce II with unreleased tracks in July and more. "Under the banner of the “Ginger Baker Archive,” we are thrilled to present music lovers worldwide with the first-ever complete release of the 1970 Beat Club recordings by the groundbreaking “Ginger Baker’s Airforce,” titled “What A Day,” scheduled for the end of May. The next step, slated for the end of July, will be the CD release of Airforce II, featuring previously unreleased bonus and alternative recordings in various forms and contents, mirroring the album’s original release in countries like England and Germany with different tracks. Many more releases are in the pipeline and already in preparation. The MIG team takes pride in collaborating on these projects with esteemed experts such as Peter Brkusic and Johannes Scheibenreif from Vienna, along with other dedicated supporters. Unfortunately, Ginger’s catalog has been released in a partially careless and incomplete manner, and of unacceptable quality. We are determined to change this and restore Ginger to his rightful place in the history of rock music, with due respect and devotion." http://www.mig-music.de/en/mig-music-announces-an-exciting-series-of-releases-from-the-rich-legacy-of-one-of-the-most-significant-drummers-in-rock-history-ginger-baker/

  4. Whoa, that's the kind of news I've been waiting for since years! I wish it's just the beginning, would love to hear some live stuff with strings and wurlitzer.
  5. This is how the upcoming LP boxset looks like. Nice artwork, very much like 60/70 science-themed graphics. There is a preorder for LP's, but US only. Other areas and CD's will come later. Release: May 2024 http://www.waysidemusic.com/Music-Products/Soft-Machine-Høvikodden-1971-4-x-vinyl-lps-in-heavy-slip-case-(due-to-size-and-weight-this-price-for-the-USA-only-Outside-of-the-USA-the-price-will-be-adjusted-as-needed)__Rune-spc-530-v.aspx
  6. If anyone would like to fill some gaps in collection or just pick a few live gigs, by SM, I'd strongly recommend: Third the 2CD set with the absolute studio classic and a live performance at Royal Abert Hall Virtually - my personal favorite, pure fire from the most iconic line-up Noisette - on of the few recordings capturing band with Lyn Dobson, so double sax or sax/flute BBC 1967-1971 and 1971-1974 - two 2CD sets, all-killer no-filler, there is stuff with Allan Holdsworth and a big-band gig Floating World Live - peek performance with more fusion oriented material from "Bundles"; what Holdsworth is playing here is unspeakable Bundles the 2CD set the 2022 Cherry Red edition, classic jazz-rock album extended by late 1975 gig (John Etheridge on guitar) There are many, many more, like Switzerland 1974, the Montreux performance - not perfect in terms of sound quality, but it's audio with video and it's great to see Holdsworth's fierce solos or Mike Ratledge playing some modular stuff on Synthi AKS.
  7. So there is a new archival set of Soft Machine records coming out this year! Cuneiform have just announced this: SOFT MACHINE – HØVIKODDEN 1971 (4 disc set) COMING OUT MAY 2024 (4-disc set of archival live recordings, half of which are previously unreleased, by British electric jazz/ jazz-rock legends, Soft Machine) [UK] It seems this will be a previously known "Live At Henie Onstad Art Centre" gig, but with two new CD's. Well, maybe the 2023 Dutch Lesson wasn't that good (mediocre sound quality and surprisingly not as interesting as the live-at-studio NDR Jazz Workshop), but I'm still thirsty for more, especially for the 1970-1971 period.
  8. Sound exciting, but I'm also a bit unsure about the music/tunes and line-up - sounds like a vehicle for hard-bop revisitation, not a classic mid 70's spiritual and free Ranelin. 23$ is a great price, but with additional 20 for shipment I'd wait for the samples.
  9. Hi all. Yes, this is a legit release done in partnership with Tony Zawinul and NDR radio archives with their brilliant soundboard archives. "Live in Berlin 1971" will be released on 27th October, 2023. Available formats are 2CD, 2LP (black) and two different colored LP editions - one in GAD Records store and one at heavyweathershop.com. Pre-orders are available now.
  10. I've read reviews on Discogs, some people writing about really raw sound, so I guess it's a "no" for me. And I guess Gearbox had chosen the best stuff for LP, so the downloadable content could be even "more raw". According to this site (https://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/album/art-blakey/live-at-jazz-workshop-1970(live)), the tracks and credits are as following: Tracklist Side-A 1. Autumn in New York 2. Falling in Love with Love 3. Just in Time Side-B 1. Round About Midnight 2. East of the Sun (and West Of The Moon) Digital edition track list: 1. On Green Dolphin Street 2. The Theme v.1 3. Wee Dot v.1 4. Round About Midnight 5. The Theme v.2 6. Con Alma 7. Daahoud 8. Somewhere Over The Rainbow 9. A Night In Tunisia 10. It's Only A Paper Moon 11. Autumn In New York 12. Falling In Love With Love 13. Just In Time 14. The Theme v.3 15. Wee Dot v.2 16. East Of The Sun (and West Of The Moon) Line-up/Musicians Art Blakey; drums Andy Bey; piano, vocals Ramon Morris; tenor saxophone Isao Suzuki; double bass Junior Cook; soprano saxophone (track B2)
  11. Good to see it will be issued by Moosicus. This + Marion Brown is an insta-buy for me.
  12. Not much info, only this below. Good to know it's official, Andy Bey and Isao Suzuki sure sounds interesting. Too bad it's only on LP, maybe we will see CD after the RSD '23 craze. "Previously unreleased, historically important, a gift from the jazz gods. Available for the first time, as an official release in partnership with the Art Blakey estate, this is the only known recording with this Jazz Messengers line-up. This RSD 2023 release comes with a QR code which accesses almost five hours of content - essential for the true Art Blakey enthusiast."
  13. The thing is simple. No label can be deemed as a bootleg in general, so that any new entry will be marked as Unofficial. But a single release could be. So to kick anything out of the regular discography from Discogs, move it to Unofficial Releases column and block sales on Discogs, you need to simply edit certain release and check the "Unofficial release" box. From time to time I'm doing it, not in the obsessive way, but when I check if anything interesting was released and cross with some cheap sh*t, it goes straight to the "Unofficials". Thankfuly rarely anybody reverse it (but technically it's just few clicks). But recently I've got some change of heart and lost confidence, because of those "loophole/justification/legality" @JSngrymentioned. This music legal stuff could be crazy. I had a chance to interview John McLaughlin a few years ago and asked him about years with Graham Bond and then-recent 4CD release "Wade In The Water" with some of the earliest McLaughlins' recordings. I thought it would be a pleasant talk and would trigger some fond memories with general gratitude that Repertoire Records released this rare and old music - but John went instantly ballistic that he don't know anything about this box and they didn't pay him! Should they? Are Repertoire guys and gals acting on the edge of grey market? Thanks for your answer. Thankfully I'm waaay behind the episode, when I was buying everything that have printed cover and pressed CD, so I was asking more like "is there a chance it's legal" (especially label doesn't look that random, we even know names of its founders) more than seeking absolution 😀. I'll pass and wait . I have 3 Miles' boots, bought them in the late 2000s and I was very happy about them. Still am. There is a 1969 lost quintet album from the autumn European tour, an 1973 Olympia concert and double Belgrad 1971/1973 gigs. All this music from that period was virtually inaccessible. Plus some DVD's, I guess all of them could be from this grey market area. I was thinking a lot about "Blue Coronet", so important recording for this electric period transistion! Eventually I got MP3, but it's great somebody unearthed those tracks.
  14. As we all now, market is full of pirate recordings these days, so it's hard sometimes to distinguish one from another. Not to mention there are probably some levels of bootleg companies - from Dimeadozen thievies to some more sophisticated labels that seem like they're having some purpose, goals, aesthetics. So what do you think of SleepiNight Records, "Independent jazz label owned by Gary Gillies and Sean Gillies" (to quote Discogs), who released 3 Miles Davis CD's - Lost Quintet, Lost Septet and Lost Concert? A bootleg or not? https://www.discogs.com/label/245236-Sleepy-Night-Records
  15. Good to know, will add those to my to-hear list. Still - it's a bit odd to me.
