  1. I just checked the Lord's online discography and these tracks are not included in the two sessions there.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  6. the Bimhuis is possibly the most internationally known one.
  7. I have never heard the '65 trio, but am intrigued.

  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Jeb Bishop, Joe Fiedler, Nils Wogram, Steve Swell, Wolter Wierbos, Samuel Blaser - just to name a few more off the top of my head.
  12. Forgot to post that I sent a PM earlier this morning.
  13. While listening to this for the first time today I had the thought that the quality of the performances was consistent with that on the previous five releases. The thrill of a new discovery has faded, but the playing is nonetheless fresh and ultimately rewarding. Then I read the liner notes and realized that five of the nine selections on the new recording are actually remastered versions of titles that appeared on the first posthumous Frank Hewitt release, We Loved You. The remaining four selections are released here for the first time, but all the titles come from the same May 16, 2001 recording session. Apparently these were all intended to be his first release, but when Hewitt passed away before the recording could released some changes were made. So, the short story is that if you enjoyed the previous releases - especially the first one - you should enjoy this. However, unless you have decided that (like me) you will purchase any Hewitt recording that is released, be forewarned that more than half of Salience was actually previously released on We Loved You.
  14. many of the discographies on jazzdiscography.com for a while have included unreleased live performances that have circulated via various digital means and even YouTube listings.
  15. I enjoyed all five releases that preceded the new one. I just received Salience in the mail yesterday. Hoping to work it into the rotation within the next couple of days.
  16. The more I hear from Palmer, the more impressed I am. IMO he is one of the more interesting of the young generation of trumpeters operating within the more or less straight ahead orbit. He is not mentioned in the jazz press as prominently as someone like Ambrose Akinmusire, but he is worth checking out. His most recent recording, with Mark Turner, Nir Felder,Edward Perez and Kendrick Scott is his best so far. Interesting compositions, fresh, honest playing by all the participants and it swings naturally.
  17. Since it seemed like amazon was sticking to that 10/18 release date, this morning I became impatient, canceled my preorder and submitted an order with Dusty Groove. Basically the same price and I just received my shipping notification from Dusty Groove. I have had this on vinyl (the Arista/Freedom reissue), for years and am really looking forward to the upgrades in the reissue.
  18. A few years ago there was general appreciation of Frank Hewitt on the board. Without much fanfare Smalls has released another Hewitt trio recording with Ari Roland and Jimmy Lovelace. I have not heard it yet, but based on my enjoyment of the previous releases this will be on my short list of items to purchase.
  19. I concur with everyone that says the Mitchell is a substantial release. I listened to it a few times last week and then followed it by listening to Sound. I have not in the past listened closely to Mitchell outside of the AEC, but this is motivating me to start from the beginning and work my way forward.
  20. Too many to count, but finding minor comfort in knowing I am not the only one.
  21. I have heard some Blaser and he is worth a listen. Besides, I will purchase just about anything with Gerald Cleaver - one of my favorite drummers and someone that I have gotten to know a little who I think is a wonderful person.
  22. I preordered it at amazon. Looks like they are waiting for the original release date (10/18) to start shipping.
  23. Received the Roscoe Mitchell today. Looking forward to listening to it very soon.
  24. Last Friday I caught the Amina Claudine Myers trio with Jerome Harris and Reggie Nicholson. She played a little gospel, avant garde, soul jazz and everything in between. It all worked.
  25. I was listening to, and enjoying it again last night.
