Preminger's debut recording, Day Bridge Road, is very good.

Domestic or import label? Domestic this time...Motema Records Release date June 12. I believe it is a gig for the Hartford Jazz Society or something to that effect. This is the venue info they gave me Polish National Home, 60 Charter Oak Ave. Hartford, CT. 06103 Hope you can make it..... I happen to be the president of the Hartford Jazz Society and can confirm the venue is correct.

Domestic or import label? Motema Records

Saturday night I heard the Matthew Shipp Trio with Michael Bisio and Whit Dickey at Real Art Ways in Hartford. Good performance.

I have it and think it is a very enjoyable recording. I was familiar with Herman before, but Chritsophe made a significant impression as well. If I remember correctly, he may have had a few lessons with Byard at some time. I recommend it withour reservation.

About two weeks ago I finally contacted CAM Jazz about my Murray set. They also asked me to describe the flaws and asked for proof of purchase. Once I was able to get a reprint of my receipt from Dusty Groove (I had purchased the set about six months ago) and forwarded it to CAM Jazz I received a pretty quick response. I received my replacement set earlier this week.

Could you be thinking of Joseph Daley's Earth Tones Ensemble recording, Seven Deadly Sins?

Last night I attended a performance led by Italian trumpeter Fabio Morgera that included Steve Davis and young trumpeter Josh Evans. It was billed as a tribute to Horace Silver and if I remember correctly they performed "Senor Blues", "African Lady", "Barbara" and Joe Henderson's "Mo Joe". They are all very capable musicians and performed at a high level, but coincidentally when I started feeling a litttle bored some time during the second song, I could not help but think of this thread and wished they were performing some original music instead.

Joe Giardullo's No Work Today: Nine for Steve Lacy on Drimala has several very nice solo saxophone performances.

Now that we mention it, I do not think either of two recordings on Muse, Jazz Caper or Varations in Blue, have ever seen a reissue in the ditigal age.

I read somewhere that the Billy Hart quartet with Mark Turner, Ethan Iverson and I think Ben Street recorded a new release that will be released in ECM sometime in early 2012. Looking forward to that!

I picked this up when it was first issued a few years ago. Excellent music! What is also interesting is to hear alternate versions of a couple of compositions that appeared on other recordings. Now if we can just get a CD reissue of the 1972 Savoy recording, Motivation, I would be a happy man.

I better check mine.

It is how he makes a living. I imagine the artists he sat in with got paid.

Really? Why so?

I just checked the Lord's online discography and these tracks are not included in the two sessions there.

If you're looking for food recommendations, tell me what you're interested in... I can attest to the fact that Pete is a go to guy for food recommendations. My mouth still waters when I think about that place we went to for a pre Vision Festival hang.

I had one years ago before we had children. Now the times when I can listen to music in my home on my stereo system are rare. Looking forward to about 13 years from now when the youngest of my three children is hopefuly off to college.

With the usual qualifiers about not hearing many 2011 releases, including quite a few sitting in piles in my basement, these are my favorites: New Releases (in chronological order): Rob Brown - "Unknown Skies" |Rogue Art Joseph Daley Earth Tones Ensemble - "The Seven Deadly Sins" | JARO Miles Davis - "Live In Europe 1967 - The Bootleg Series Vol. 1" | Columbia/Legacy Ellery Eskelin - "Trio New York" | Prime Source Gigi Gryce - "Doin The Gigi" | Uptown Pandelis Karayorgis - "System of 5" |hatOLOGY Roscoe Mitchell - "Before There Was Sound" | Nessa Jason Palmer - "Here Today" | SteepleChase Sam Rivers - "Mosaic Select 38 - Sam Rivers & The Rivbea Orchestra - Trilogy" | Mosaic Reissues: Julius Hemphill - "Dogon A.D." |International Phonograph

the Bimhuis is possibly the most internationally known one.

I have never heard the '65 trio, but am intrigued.

I placed an order on Nov. 10th, that I received today. Before receiving my order, earlier today I sent an email to Leo because I never received a confirmation of my order. I received a prompt reply from Mr. Faigen informing me that my order had shipped on the 11th and then a couple hours later it was on my desk.

By coincidence before seeing this I had just done my daily check to see if the new issue was available yet. I also hope it is not dead. Assuming it is a bi-monthly publication, it is not necessarily too late yet.
