Agreed - I think the market is focused on 'audiophile' album reissues making anything before the LP era a more difficult prospect. Or no con-fusion as Sweet Papa Lou would always remind us 😂

The BYG/Affinity 'Live In Paris' double LP is taken from the July 27th and 28th concerts. No idea if this set includes new material but the wording kind of suggests not.

When The Cookers played at Church of Sound here in London a few years back we got to the venue (...a church) quite early and found Billy walking around taking it in. I wish I'd said hello and told him how much I love his music but I don't like to bother musicians.

That would be the logical thing to do I guess. Though it's tricky for the label to release with much fanfare if the tapes really don't sound good. Perhaps the answer is a digital release akin to the Fugazi Live Series (currently 750 shows) where people can pick and choose what's interesting to them and download for a few dollars.

This has been my frustration. I asked it about a friend's 80s indie band who had a bit of a cult following. Everything it told me was a complete fabrication. It wasn't even like it had scraped bad information off the web - it just made a load of stuff up. On the other hand I've been using AI to find me relevant academic papers and write snippets of Python code and it's saved me days of work..

If I'd been in the neighbourhood I think I would have stumped up $2.50 for that bill.

Modern/Avant New Releases: A running thread
paulfromcamden replied to colinmce's topic in New Releases
Just to let folks know that OtoRoku downloads are also available directly from Cafe Oto and generally at lower cost as you're not paying Bandcamp 15%. https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/kan-mikami-john-edwards-alex-nielson-live-cafe-oto/ -
As a record fan it would be nice to have affordable vinyl reissues of some of the posthumous Impulse albums - Stellar Regions, Living Space, Olatunji, Offering etc. Though I appreciate these may not be strong commercial propositions and not a good starting point if labels are hoping to attract new listeners.

Slightly underwhelming 100th anniversary "Best Of John Coltrane" compilation from Craft featuring tracks from his Prestige LPs. https://craftrecordings.com/blogs/news/best-of-john-coltrane

I've often had the same thought looking at the amazing range of Japanese language books on jazz on sale in Disk Union...

Jazz musicians with the same names
paulfromcamden replied to Rabshakeh's topic in Miscellaneous Music
UK pianist Pat Thomas (he/him) and American vocalist Pat Thomas (she/her). Also UK bass player John Edwards and UK big band trombonist Johnny Edwards. The bass player in Status Quo is called John Edwards but has yet to explore a jazz direction. -
What live music are you going to see tonight?
paulfromcamden replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Saw Tony Kofi play a couple of nights ago. Gig was in a community arts space in North London that I'd never heard of but has been there for twenty years. Run by great friendly people and fantastic vegan food. Henry Lowther sitting in for a couple of tunes was a bonus. I've been a bit slow to pick up on how great Tony's playing is but have seen him a few times over the past 12 months and he's played a blinder every time. -
Hmm. Maybe not there but between them Mats and Thurston have subsequently played with a fair number of the musicians featured. I'm interested to hear what they have to say. Bailey, Brotz and Bennink are marginal euro collector crap? We'll have to agree to differ there I'm afraid.

Interesting - though they've also issued later stuff. Monk in 67, Cannonball in 72. Academic for me as I don't have the budget for £60 Coltrane LPs. Also... $290 to ship some records to France! Ouch!!

Thanks for the suggestions! 👍
