I think that "anxiety over US influence" is not a healthy emotion! I think that desiring a personal identity is a very lofty goal. But having anxiety about what influences you might naturally have is just silly and counter-peoductive. Copying is not good, but embracing your all loves as a part of who you are is beautiful! We had the same thing here during The Wynton Wars, all this, yes, anxiety over "European" influences in the avant-garde. What the fuck is wrong with people?

My limited experience with DeSoto records has been entirely positive. They're now a "buy on sight" label.

Bertha Hope! How is this one overall?

A quiet manifesto from 1963. Oh, biggest ECM sellers are surely Jarrett and Metheny?

Where's Maynard?

Barry Altschul, 1965.

Isaiah Collier? On #1?

Good luck, Daniel!

Paul Bley had played with Sunny Murray. I'm not sure how relevant "sunny" is to the Scandinavian musical outlook?

Better joints than pizza parlors?

Pushi DiPlump - It Ain't Over Yet b/w I Still Believe In Love

I was just wondering if they could be rolled or driven home using them rolly wheels.

Does they hadz the wheels?

Not cheap, LOUD

Kay Starr was definitely working the same area

Consider that in the notion of playing "around" the beat is implicit that there is a beat there in the first place. Can't blame ECM for that. Sunny Murray maybe So I don't blame that, I just note that the overall playing is less physically engaged than I prefer, or maybe even able to engage with. The life experience they communicate is not one that I've had, and to this point Ive no appetite to experience. But 21st Century ECM ...Enrico Rava!

Seriously? What's their reason?

Music Is my Mistress is a must if you don't mind reading between a few or more) lines.

For me, the dividing line is the departure of Sonny Greer. Johnny Hodges left, but his replacements were variations on a theme , and anyway, he came back. Greer's replacements were always more "modern" in style and once Sam Woodyard settled in, that was it for the duration . I might even think that "late" Ellington begins with the departure of Woodyard and the appearance of Rufus Jones. The "character" of so many big bands is set my the drummer, and Ellington's was no exception. Of course, that's not the only thing, but it's a fundamental one. In terms of records, there was a period of transition between the last Columbia with Greer and the first with Woodyard . The Bellson period and further are perhaps the definition of "transitional". It's definitely one of the longest uninterrupted journeys in musical history.

Where is Gerry Mulligan?

Then they will be flagged as such and live there forevermore. I would check first with Jim A though, to make sure that the server can handle such a load first. But if it can, yeah, onward.
