T.D.

Thanks. I put it in my watch list. Will probably sell out the day it arrives @ DG (that often happens).

Thanks. But some unusually equivocal passages by DG's blurbmeister (bolded) evoke a slight doubt... A wonderful bit of spiritual soul jazz! This sweet little record was recorded out of the same energy that produced Larry Young's Lawrence of Newark LP for Perception Records, and it's a strange session by Tyrone Washington – a young player from the Newark scene who'd previously cut a straighter album for Blue Note, but who was working here in kind of a messed-up grab bag of styles that fit well with the stoned-out approach of the Perception label. Hubert Eaves plays piano, Stafford James plays bass, Clifford Barconadhi is on drums, and the album's a mix of funk, modal jazz grooving, and a bit of outside activity. In a way, the album's earnestness reminds us of some of Roland Kirk's work from the same time – except that Tyrone's backing group is incredible, with a tight rhythmic sound that gets funky at just the right moments. Titles include "War Is Not For Men", "1980", "Submission", and "Spiritual Light Of The Universe".

There's an obscure Japanese CD: https://www.discogs.com/release/11589806-Bill-Evans-The-1972-Ljubljana-Concert- I hadn't heard of this date, it's on Youtube so I'll go that route for now.

I looked on discogs, the OP seems to be out of luck if CDs required. Plenty of Concord titles listed on CD, but older albums vinyl only. Made a token search at bandcamp but found nothing at all.

I've attended concerts where the headliner was so obviously drunk that performance was degraded.

It's complicated. I remember Kenny Barron, in notes to the People Time recording, discussing an incident with Stan Getz. Some time in the 1984-1986 period, ...The next day, Stan called. He was very apologetic, and explained that he ended the recording session so abruptly because he felt embarrassed about the way he was playing. He also explained that he felt a little intimidated because this was the first recording he had ever done, or attempted to do, while sober... [Other interesting material omitted for brevity]

Book doesn't say which tune. "...Sonny came to the studio with me, and though he isn't listed under personnel he played the ending on one of the tracks because I was back in the bathroom fixing again.. We got paid after the gig - Charles gave Sonny five dollars for his two chords - and you know we went straight to Harlem and got blind that night..."

I noticed the release a few days ago on DG's "Coming Soon" page and likewise decided to pass.

Thanks. That's a pretty generous print run, larger than I expected.

I assume limited #. Question is exactly how limited, i.e. should I preorder?

Plenty of composer credits on allmusic. I got it from https://tinyurl.com/m26syte5 Have to scroll way down to 1979. Warning: allmusic is flaky on Chrome, may have to use other browsers.

None, but when sleuthing #3 I looked through her credits on allmusic. Was surprised by the diversity of recordings on which she sang backup, and I do own several of those. Biggest surprise was Daniel Lentz's Missa Umbrarum (old New Albion recording).

Given these hints, I also sleuthed out the answer, which I'd never have guessed. Likewise decline to reveal band/leader/album.

I use Chrome and have clearly seen the posts all along, but skimmed over them due to lack of interest. Don't see anything wrong with posting details of upcoming releases, however.

Some interesting things acquired from Michael (Scott): This contains 2 albums, one with Chris Schilder Quintet This obscure Swedish free jazz disc is rather good!

RIP. Greatly enjoyed her playing. Starting in the early oughts I acquired a number of recordings, but in those days she was releasing so many that I couldn't keep up. Every recording I've heard, incl. the two above from Yoshi's, is recommendable. All of the titles on Maxjazz were good, and I'd also consider solo recordings, e.g. the Maybeck volume, All Alone on Maxjazz, etc.

Thanks. I never researched the issue (don't trust "audiophile" sources, which is where I expected most coverage), but it wasn't hard to find a Library of Congress link: https://www.loc.gov/preservation/scientists/projects/cd-r_dvd-r_rw_longevity.html

Have wondered myself. ISTR the failure rate of CD-R being the main drawback. I have owned one CD-R that became unreadable / unplayable after 5 or 6 years. Can't draw conclusions due to small sample size, I only regularly play a dozen or fewer CD-R.

+1 Horace Tapscott soundtrack!

I have Clifford Jordan In the World as part of the Strata-East Mosaic, but I know that's not a reasonable suggestion if you're currently seeking a recording.

Thanks, excellent info. Sorry I missed Karl Berger, recently finished his Music Mind Experience book.

Excellent news.. Won't be there 3/13, but 4/13 is possible and I'm eagerly waiting for more Kingston venues (Senate Garage, Lace Mill, Beverly, ...) to resume offering music events. Bit of a trip for me, and I prefer weekends and/or early set times, but I'm probably older (64) than your main demographic...

Thanks for these comments. I noticed the release on the website and would have ordered immediately, but the shipping cost to USA (inclusive of the massive book) took the cost over my limit. Will have to reconsider...My experience with JIB has been good, but I've always been leery of preorders, especially overseas ones, so never took that risk.
