  1. Padres/Brewers. Damn good game!
  2. If it's that crucial to have a "CD", just burn the fuckers from the LPs and be done with it. And the see how many times you listen to it. Vinyl is not going to be around forever, and CDs won't be here to save the day. If you care at all about the future, hope that somebody somewhere is going to be around to offer hi-res files to people to fill the vacuum, or else we'll all be stuck with Spotify or it's successors. This is niche music as it is. Imagine wanting to hear Hipnosis 50 years from now. Better get hoped it gets used in a commercial or a zombie movie... You can probably also be thankful to Donald Byrd, Bobbi Humphrey. et al for creating the capital to allow the vaults to be opened in the first place!
  3. There's something to the uniqueness of the sound, though. No way I'm going there, but it makes me happy to know that some still are. Those bigass grooves can hold a LOT of sound...
  4. Oh wow, I did not count the two Transition records (with a few outtakes IIRC). Those are two CD-Rs more, so 8 full/"full" discs".
  5. Ah, jazz nostalgia!!!!!
  6. Oh my, it's a Czech name...awkward...
  7. Tonal, passionate, and pretty damn long. It feels like a challenge for everybody, and maybe it was? Ok if so!
  8. That's the leader's name then? The way I learned Spanish, it means something altogether different...
  9. The three Gil Evans Project records. The first two (one studio, one live) were thru Artist Share and might be OOP now. There's a new live one that seems to be a step down on first listen. The first, studio, one is a simply superior endeavor. https://www.artistshare.com/projects/experience/279/376/1 https://www.artistshare.com/projects/experience/279/457/1 The new on is available at Amazon.
  10. Fritz Albergetti - Fritz Flies High!!!
  11. Even better:
  12. The Schuman is dutifully weighty and not necessarily unpleasant. But this Ingolf Dahl thing is a real delight! A new name to me, and a pleasant introduction is is!
  13. Hip Frequency!!! Jack Nosis!!! High & Hip!!!
  14. That's cruelly funny, because I have each as single LOs in double LP sets. So the way to solve that is to combine the both into a new double CD packet. Let nature find its own symmetry. You could even use the IG cover photo!
  15. It was a gig that got recorded. Possibly not the only one, and possibly not the best one, recorded or otherwise. Coltrane of the date, yes, but there were already even newer things going on in NYC. It takes everybody time to catch up to things they didn't think up, because these damn instruments don't play themself and it takes work to get them to do things you yourself didn't find. Nobody bothers to look at that part, how real music takes work and work takes time. Short cuts don't last. What I love about Joe Henderson is precisely that he is NOT an out player as much as he is not really an in player either. In terms of the instrument, he's a NextGen Lester Young (via Warne Marsh and Larry Teal) guy, the type of player who will find the sounds to play to make his music when the notes alone won't suffice. Past that, right on 💗
  16. Yeah, the 1950 Juilliard was the first-ever recording of the full cycle. The Pearl release has now been superceded by the Sony Classical box of early JSQ records, but major props to them for keeping those records alive. Pearl is a cool label. I really enjoy listening to real-time(ish) recordings of new music. People were still grappling with interpretations and sometimes the notes themselves Check this out:
  17. The first one was quite great. Many of Masters' records are. So yeah, getting this one too! What would have been great is if Billy had hooked up for the Ryan Truesdell things. What, no Bandcamp link? Oh, there's two records! Both, then.
  18. Remember the poster here 7:4! He was a microtonal composer himself and swore by this guy. I have yet to go there (yet) but it sounds like it's just a matter of time. I need more time...
  19. Blakey did not have a real band in those days. He was working with essentially pickup bands, and as I understand it, Woody was the guy who took care of the hiring. Club bookings as available, occasional foreign mini-tours, nothing resembling a full itinerary. I could see a scenario where one could make one gig but not the other, and)or vice-versa. So not really anybody subbing, just people making individual dates. But it does look like Garnett became first call for what gigs there were, because he shows up on the 1970 Japanese date with Joanne Brackeen. I'm very much under the impression that Art Blakey was ..full of surprises, if you know what I mean.
  20. Does he do the same type thing for historical recordings? Like what groups had recorded ANY of them before Juilliard did the first complete cycle in 1950? Google does not yet seem to comprehend my question on the way I'm asking, but it did tell me that the first recording of ANY of them was done by the Amar-Hindemith Quartet, of #2, and ok, cool, this exists (and has been ordered). Now what else is there from these early days?
