T.D.

Live at Macalester College? TM must have found that by now, unless he insisted on the pre-release hand-made cover. For non-vinylites willing to wait 13 years or so, the Porter CD released 2008(!) eventually became easy to find; even I own a copy.

Yeah, I just re-read much of the thread. Agreed that the substance of the article was solid. I sometimes go overboard about matters of style. I've been trying to focus (and not just in music reading) on what's being said as opposed to how it's phrased, but being an old fart I don't always manage to. No comments on Doyle, I haven't heard anything by him yet (combination of scarcity and a certain amount of negative reviews). I have no beef with the recordings on TM's list, in fact it's grown on me over time.

I found the thread and edited my post. In hindsight, TM's writing wasn't really all that bad, nor was the forum reaction all that negative. But the "hipper than thou" style of some prominent list compilers does grate on me.

I sometimes enjoy reading lists, but they can be also be irritating. Not to troll or anything, but I recall Thurston Moore posting some list of free jazz favorites that got absolutely roasted on this forum (there's a thread somewhere in the archives, it was quite a while ago). [Found it] I think the big problem with that one was the writing, which seemed somewhat pretentious and poseur-like. I can dig suggestions, but please spare me the self-parodic ramblings. 😉

Yeah, I remember liking that one...back in the '90s I used to regularly visit the Perfect Sound Forever website.

No, it's a different release. I have the a Live at Pit Inn - that album has some standards and no Sato compositions. https://www.discogs.com/release/9652328-Masahiko-Togashi-JJSpirits-So-What-Live-At-Pit-Inn-Shinjuku And there's yet another (different) Live at Pit Inn which has two different Sato pieces: https://www.discogs.com/release/13040324-Masahiko-Togashi-JJSpirits-Update-Live-At-Pit-Inn-Shinjuku-On-December-16-1995 I can't find this particular release on discogs.

Thanks. Haven't heard these, will definitely seek them out.

I noticed (to my surprise) that he and Conrad Tao performed Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories at the 2023 Bang on a Can Long Play Festival (NYC).

Worth a try. I prefer to buy JIB recordings from DG because of reduced shipping. Don't recall seeing any JIB stand-alone books there, but you never know.

You have to look under "Merch" on the JIB site. https://jazzinbritain.co.uk/merch Someone on the forum kindly informed me of this a while back.

That's one of my absolute all-time favorite recordings. Listening:

Good question. It was a very good CD (I got it with the 1st edition), but as you mentioned some of it was later released. CD wasn't mentioned on the Duke site, so my instinct (opinion only) is "no", also taking into account the ongoing plethora of Nimbus West releases.

Apparently Good-bye Moscow (1968). Seems rather obscure. https://trakt.tv/movies/good-bye-moscow-1968 I'd never heard of it until a Youtube algorithm suggested the above clip, and even then had to search. There's a soundtrack album: https://www.discogs.com/release/3394257-Various-さらばモスクワ愚連隊-Good-bye-Moscow-Original-Soundtrack

New revised edition of Steven Isoardi's The Dark Tree is out. https://www.dukeupress.edu/the-dark-tree I have the original edition, not sure whether to go for this revision.

Is Masahiko Togashi (pre-accident) the drummer in this film clip from 1968 release? See 1:37f, 3:32ff. I think so but am not sure.

For US residents: The 3-cd Splinters Inclusivity surfaced at Dusty Groove for $22.99, so I finally purchased it! I also ordered this new Stan Sulzmann release after listening to (and enjoying) it on the JIB site:

The latter the Cool Jojo +4 edition with bonus tracks.

Good question. I have many recordings with Sulzmann, but none with him as leader. Noticed this at Jazz in Britain but didn't purchase. Will listen online today(? or at least soon).
