T.D.

to all 3. The Lowther ranks as one of my favorite 2022 purchases.

Finally pulled the trigger on this. Had been put off by the first track (Stevie Wonder cover) which failed to impress, but the other tracks are so strong that I relented. Not overly concerned about sound quality; what I heard on Youtube (from LP) was really bright so brightness won't be a surprise.

Went for some Japanese CD reissues: Roland Hanna, Sir Elf Sonny Clark Memorial Quartet, Voodoo Yosuke Yamashita Trio, Montreux Afterglow Tyrone Washington, Roots

A lot of my exploration of "modern" jazz winds up in that period. I don't have much background, buy a lot of used recordings, and often try to build up some kind of base rather than chasing after the very newest releases. Some purchases (e.g. NoBusiness) are archival-type releases of familiar names. But my erudition is not sufficient (either depth or breadth) to post on threads, so I mainly lurk.

It is (or will be?). Dusty Groove shows both LP and CD expected on 24 March.

W. Seneca, NY (near Buffalo):

I got e-mail today informing me that only 2 of 11 ordered titles were in-stock. Andrea kindly offered the option of substitution or refund. I went for substitution. What the heck, most of my selections were shots in the dark anyway.

I liked the clip I listened to, but somewhat dread hearing Dazed and Confused. Hope it's not a Zeppelin cover. 🤨

Published an autobiography back in 2014. Pretty high-profile, I got the impression it sold decently...Skimmed through it in a bookshop but didn't purchase.

I figured that @$1.50 per disc I can deal with (and even expect) weirdness. 😄 For instance, went for the strange-looking Bang! by Roberto Zorzi because of the sidemen (Berne, Feldman, Robertson, Previte). The Einstein's Cosmic Messengers DVD looks interesting (I'm a science buff), but I doubted DVDs were included in the offer so didn't think to include it.

I also went for the offer, ordered 11, most recognizable Crispell and the 6 Lol Coxhill titles. No idea about the fill rate...website implies out-of-stock items are produced on demand (CD-R?), but not sure that'll apply to the sale. Certainly no beef with CD-R at these prices. Granted none of these really qualify as new releases, but it's a step...

I ordered this from interlibrary loan, might take a while.

John, I kind of regret having overposted sleuthings to the thread. And this particular ID was Jim's work (kudos to him). But since you asked 😉, spoiler here.

👍🤣 Had to consult Google Lens, was all "WTF!?", but then it sunk in.

Yes, the label is Improvising Artists. Mentioned above in thread that I ordered the autobiography Stopping Time through interlibrary loan, and the copy I got (only one available) came from the Cherry Valley Library. Found that surprising (it's a really small town) until I finished the book (C. V. was mentioned). I wondered whether any of the family still lived there. I visited C. V. a couple of times years ago, but had no idea of the Bley connection.

Agree with the underlined. I searched interlibrary loan in vain for the Cappelletti book, but there are other jazz books I'd prefer to purchase. I don't pay much attention to Amazon reviews, but have limited appetite for "Euro academic" material.

Can't say. The Meehan is on my "to read" list but I can't find a copy. Autographed copy @$100 offered on Improvising Artists website, but I suspect the page/site is not active. I considered the Cappeletti, but it's really short and got a couple of s**t reviews on Amazon (a "Euro academic" tag discouraged me), so I decided not to spend $.

There's a book of interviews (probably difficult to find) and what looks to be a biography

Wouldn't be surprised if that timing thing was just a typo on the original release. There seems to be a bit of a Charles Stepney connection running through this BFT, and he did play vibes, but I don't think he could have been involved with #11.

In that case, B1 here? Credit to Randy for the spot. This is just follow-up via discogs. Weirdly, the track was only 5:15 long on the original release? At least according to discogs. Longer 5:56 on the 1996 reissue and subsequently.

Dub Modal ID'd 13 as Callier's Alley Wind Song, but no album.

Clicking on the link doesn't do anything. Going to thomkeith.net, I don't see a "music" tab.
