So they've also just found out what their sources are going to be?

ECM is always now. And if it's always now...

Who were the other three?

Well crap. Worked with him on a project in the early Daagnim days, DAMN good player and a cerified character (in the good way). RIP and there will be another one for you when I get there.

Stipulated (except for the part about participation in Hoffman Land conferring credibilty...that place... experts and bullshitters rub shoulders and other body parts and nobody dares tell the difference ) Apart from that, all good. All I want to know is what they had to work with on the Decca stuff. And yes, I've emailed them directly. No answer yet. Maybe I should Go Hoffman and ask there to legitimize the question.

Oh, millions of plenty of people know these troubles I've seen. They're called, neighbors and bandmates. Those other millions, I call them clueless. First time I went to NYC was summer of 1979. We were in the throes of a then-record heat wave here, 20+ days of 100÷, some of them over 110 ()which is really too damn hot, period). With humidity, of course. And the house I was renting did not have AC (btw, buildings have air-conditioning, not cities. Just sayin'...), so when the opportunity to travel arose, yeah, let's go. Well, I get to Manhattan, and people are moaning about the heat wave and all this shit, it was 93 yesterday jesus, and I'm, like, damn, this is refreshing! Heat off the streets and shit, yeah, that's annoying, sure. But still, exponentially more comfortable than where I've just left. But the locals were convinced that they were burning up. Just goes to show that all weather is local, and so are most people when it comes time to sweat. I'm glad I'm don't live in an Equatorial zone, though. This heat here, I can manage most of the time. Yard work at 3 PM in August used to be fun. But that real tropical shit, uh...I don't think so. Oh, BTW - warm-weather people don't croon. We do, however, work a note half to death. Better it than us! It's all a moot point now, though. We done fucked up the planet and the planet is gonna have it's way with us, so...enjoy the nostalgia!

Silence is the now new Sound!!!

Pools? I'm talking about summer heat, dude. 100+ degree heat, plenty of humidity, no clouds in the sky, no breeze, and playing either on a flatbed trailer or some other makeshift bandstand that has no cover, or else under a tent with the circulation at least partially blocked off, you just sit there and bake for 4 + hours and drink all the water you can find for as long as it lasts. People who do not live in a warm weather climate do not understand the effect it has on your music. Complaining is useless, because a complaint is based on the notion that the current situation is just in need of a fix. Well, in some places there ain't no fix, and you got a gig tomorrow too. So, complaining about the weather is for other people, people who want to look for pools and shit. Hell, here I' am talking about four hours...I spent three summers doing roustabout work in the oil field, eight hours of that shit (and worse) I've gotten soft!!!! You guys don't know about living hot, just like I don't know about living cold. And then there's Houston...

Eye of the beholder, but that didn't strike me as an accusation as much as it did a "seriously????" A healthy scepticism, imo. To the best of my knowlefge, the is the first Resonance package to deal with pre-tape material, and especially, in the case of the Decca sides, stuff owned by what's left of "the majors". To my knowledge, the company has no track record of doing this type of project, and it's only natural that a geek audience of people like us want to ask geek questions, and hope to get sufficiently geeky answers. Nobody's asking people to name who or where they got it, but WHAT they got, WHAT they had to work with seems a reasonable enough question. And an answer that essentially says, gawrsh, it's all needle drops...nothing dishonest at all there, just seems a bit...naive, that's all. There's more to the "Mosaic standard" than just the product and the packaging. There's also been the geek factor, the awareness that at least some of your customer base respects/loves you for giving them the geek shit about how you went looking for this and it wasn't there but you dug around and found it over yonder in some box as a backup for the janitor, but wow, the janitor had a whole different take than the one you were looking for, but he had a mint 45 of that one, or some crazy shit like that. Mosaic will tell you shit like that, and they will do it without being asked. But maybe that's just them, Mosaic, Cuscuna. I like it myself.

Well if you must know, my partners and I have been crafting an Art Pepper holographic concert package and we wanted to get it right. Because when we do the Central Avenue Reunion segment with him and Dexter, it better be beliveable.

Ok, it's hot and there's some humidity. But seriously...

Thank you#

He did a fine job with Gene Ammons too.

?

Not calling anybody a liar that I'm can see. Just wanting clarification of a, certainly unintentionally, rather silly statement. Maybe Cuscuna (and Nessa) have raised the bar for a label''s transparency and customer communication to an unsustainable height. Oh well, expectations in that regard now lowered, at least for Resonance. This Modern World, etc.

Might be her daughter, though. Or niece.

Several more, actually... https://www.discogs.com/artist/697017-William-S-Fischer The one I'm know is Akelarre Sorta. 1972

Mama Rose...

I like him in general, intesting guy. This is a good record. He did another one a few years later that is kinda weird. I like it too.

Who reviewed BN records for the NYT before they got reissued?

It's better than that Sheep Swinging Blues thing, that's for sure! I think it would have rocked harder with a Vinnie Bell electric sitar, but that's just me.

You guys make me laugh even harder! Those Canadian summers are killer!!!

Well, I ain't buying that stuff, period, but that's fucked that they think it's a good idea to do that and/or that nobody would notice.
