Great trumpeter Toshinori Kondo has died on Saturday, October 17, his sons have stated in an obituary this Sunday: http://www.toshinorikondo.com/ He was a personal favorite as part of Die Like a Dog Quartet and something very special to be experienced live, as seen in two different settings at Mulhouse festival in 2017. This is sudden and sad.

Just got Ride the wind on reading praise on this thread, just one listen but indeed great! The Rogue Art offer is tempting. I already have a lot of Mitchell on CD, but the output is really diverse and fascinating.

I just received the Mobley box bought on last chance, I was missing about one third of the music. Only played CD1 but the sound is indeed excellent. I already can see that the difference with some of the rvgs I own will be important. While this can seem to be a luxury, I'm sure it will only make me appreciate the music even more.

Sad. Very very interesting musician. Great to see him in Paris a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the heads up on this release, playing it now and excellent!

Come to Paris in November and you can check that relationship live! (coronavirus permits): https://www.letriton.com/programmation/collignon-portal-sclavis-2518

Sad. Saw him at a festival about two years ago with Tusques, Juanpera and Parle (As on Le chant du jujub).

This is sad and unexpected (didn't know he was sick). He also looked younger than his age. Saw him twice in recent years in solo configuration. A fascinating player and a unique path.

I asked the same question and received this reply from Jorge on June 11th: Well the truth is that we are waiting for this box set, since long time ago. They ran out of it, and they are now reprinting more. This is why we are still waiting. But, we are doing everything we can to get it. Actually if we have any luck, we will have it here in a couple of weeks. We will announce it!

Very sad. Fascinating artist spanning wide. Among other recent recordings, L'étau. Choses clandestines is an excellent studio and live date from 2013 with Michel Pilz, Paul Rogers and Jean-Noël Cognard. Will be revisiting his music.

Strong support from Europe to all of you involved in this movement, hopefully it will bring positive elements.

Rega Brio or Brio R is an amp I really enjoy with a really good value.

Happy birthday!

Exactly, and a great box set!

RIP. ESP is having his 1964 quartet record on "pay what you will" for download in memoriam: https://giuseppilogan.bandcamp.com/album/the-giuseppi-logan-quartet

Terrible succession of music giants leaving. Grimes was so unique and fascinating (almost literally, his bow playing so luminous) .

Such a life, such a recording career! RIP
