That Kenton Presents series is nice... somehow, I don't like what Affinity did with the covers, so I am trying to find the originals... which takes a bit longer... but when I find one - like last week in Utrecht the Cooper album - I am always happy

Nice! I am very happy I found a copy a few years back... a colleague from work was kind enough to send me a text message "there are people selling LPs on market square", some travelling vinyl circus had come to our small town that evening... and by chance, I happened to be in the neighborhood, walked by and found the Myers LP... now playing:

Can't see your picture...

with Steve Kuhn, Charlie Haden and Marty Morell

Beautiful album!

Same effect as on Schizophrenia it seems

also got that CD cheaply 15 years or so ago... musically, it's about what you'd expect... the CD does have about 20 minutes of bonus material... looks like buying the cd cheaply is no longer an easy option at this point

Yes!

there's not a whole lot of information about this on wikipedia but apparently this is how the German implementation works, there is an organization similar to ASCAP and BMI which represents visual artists and takes care of the implementation...

there are some self-produced Sun Ra records that may have a shot at qualifying... https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?sort=price%2Cdesc&limit=25&artist_id=35328

I guess it's kind of obvious but there's also a wikipedia entry on this whole topic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droit_de_suite (the German one about the "Folgerecht" may actually be even clearer). It's all limited to visual art... In the case of True Blue one might ask how big Reid Miles' contribution to the value of the whole thing is and whether he might have a small entitlement

I'm not saying that I know that everything here is legally fine - how would I know... All I'm saying is 1) this has nothing to do with the European PD deadlines etc because there was no previous issue. 2) Unlike in the case of Palo Alto, this was no tape that someone secretly made. There was a contract regulating what can be done with the recording - and without access to that specific contract, we can only guess. 3) The mistake in the Palo Alto disaster was that they didn't contact Monk's label where he had an exclusive contract, not that they didn't contact his family (who were involved but apparently useless in figuring out the legal situation). 4) Despite the Palo Alto disaster, the fact that this is a release from a division of a major label gives me more confidence than if it was one of those PD labels out of Andorra or the like...

it's not a PD label, and the justification for that record being out there is not "PD in Europe" (which would be relevant if it was a reissue of something issued before 1962) but rather that the tape is licensed from the radio station that recorded it (RBB in that case). I have no idea what the rules for releasing something like this are... but I would assume that they depend at least partly on the contract Getz signed with them in the 1960s... edit: also note how it says "distributed by SONY" on the backcover... not a PD label...

Nice one!

Funnily enough, I immediately knew you were talking about the new Nicole Glover album from that sentence... Which I guess is a good thing... Also streamed it once and liked it...

a colleague of mine can claim that three of his four grandparents took at least one course from Heidegger himself in Freiburg around 1930... I sympathize very much with his grandma who replaced the course with a course about (iirc) French cathedrals after a few weeks because the latter course was more fun... my late dad had a lifelong struggle with the obscure language that's still commonly used in the humanities in Germany... I have many childhood memories of him complaining about the way people said things in faculty meetings etc... and, somehow, that preference for a simple and clear style in scientific writing has stayed with me... to the point where my tolerance for convoluted sentences and fancy words is pretty low... certainly far too low to appreciate Heidegger... In the 1830s, Heinrich Heine wrote a nice history of German philosophy up to Kant and Hegel... iirc, his diagnosis is something along the lines of: Kant would have wanted to express himself clearly but lacked the ability... and then generations of followers copied his obscure writing style as if it was part of the message... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zur_Geschichte_der_Religion_und_Philosophie_in_Deutschland

according to wikipedia, it paid for the land, the house Hutcherson still had to build himself... still, good question!

Welcome to the board!

Thanks for these posts, super useful... I just started my Tjader collection with "Last night when we were young" on Fantasy and might want to add more...

Hardy and Horwich had similar sounding names and ran a label together but they both had significant parts of their lives outside jazz and apart from each other... Hardy was an ornithologist of renoun (obit, 1930-2012) and Horwich was L Ron Hubbard's son in law which put him into a remarkable place in 20th century America (as you all know much better than me)

Jonathan Horwich, the other founder of Revelation, posted here as jonathanhorwich, mostly in relation to reissues on International Phonograph when it was still doing CDs rather than tapes, he last visited last summer it seems... this is one of the threads don't even remember JWH - which would stand for John William Hardy, the other founder, I suppose...
