    RIP. Prolific until recently and quite largely known in France beyond the jazz public.

    First listen to this Gil Mellé two-disc set in the "connoisseur" series.

    Soundohm in Italy has quite a few records from Nimbus West on sale currently. I decided to order the whole 30 CD bundle (at a good price). It's a lot to listen to but I enjoy those deep dives.

    Would love to be transported to Venice's Teatro La Fenice on a certain Thursday 24th November 1977...

    Thanks!

    Just picked up mine from local shop. Great booklet as mentioned. Looking forward to hearing it.

    I need to catch up with an order, having not ordered from them in a long time. What would be some recommended records of recent years? I have only 2 of the Sam Rivers series (2 and 3) and could get more of those (or the complete box on LP). Thank you!

    Kurtág — Játékok, interpreted by Pierre-Laurent Aimard

    Nice! The Neo PSU power supply makes a big difference IMO. I have almost the same deck, the P6 with an Exact cartridge.

    They started by reissuing the Complete Plugged Nickel set, both in CD and vinyl, with "new liner notes and track-by-track commentary by Syd Schwartz alongside Bob Blumenthal’s original essay."

    They say Mingus calls her, around 1957 apparently, when she and Leonard Feather no longer get along, and they play together briefly then. The excerpt of Mingus comparing her with Toshiko Akiyoshi is also shown. No indication of last gigs. But probably not many by 1958. 1959 with the deaths of Lester Young and Billie Holiday is said to be a turning point, she “decides to live”, quits alcohol and gets her new job.

    Sad, RIP. The above video is very interesting on the context of the time and specifically on the relationship with producer Manfred Eicher around Beirach's Hubris.

    Thanks for posting this. It was a very interesting watch. The last part of her life (quitting music and leading a simple life) was something I didn't know at all of. Continued by watching excerpts from Berliner Jazztage also on Arte replay, watching Ellington (1979) and Oregon (1980).

    CD 2, with Geri Allen and Paul Motian

    Super interesting, thanks @Niko!
