I really enjoyed his Fresh Sound New Talent release - I think it is called Artificial Light. He is also on the Anthony Braxton CIMP recording featuring Andrew Hill tunes. He can play.

Some of the klones were also TY manufactured.

Other than possibly Mitsui, TY manufactured discs are often considered the best. They are actually not as difficult to locate as you may think. Several on line retailers sell them, and you can often find TY manufactured discs with different brand names on them such as Fujifilm and Maxell Pro. Just make sure they say manufactured in Japan and they will be TY discs - the same disc as if you purchased unbranded TY discs.

Agree 100%

I think Guy was referring to singers such as jazz vocalists who may or may not play any instruments. Are you more comfortable refering to them as artists? Couldn't an argument be made that it may be more accurrate to refer to those that play instruments as instrumentalists and those that create music in any form musicians?

I respectfully disagree with this opinion.

I have that one. I had high expectations, which were not entirely met. I thought it was good enough, but it could have been much better. Maybe I need to give it another listen.

Happy Birthday!

My wife refers to all of my music related activities as my "mistress" with no hint of humor.

Tom, even better than my state of the art room?

From one Dewey fanatic to another ... DEFINATELY!!!!

I think generally you will find that the jazz torrents that tend to generate the most interest are from the historically significant artists (Miles Davis probably more than any other), Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, etc. There is actually a wide variety of stuff that gets uploaded, but I suspect the things that gain the most interest also appear to those members who are not necessarily hard core jazz heads.

Ron, Do you mind if I copy and paste your Amazon review here? Guy Forgot I had even written one. Not at all. I hope it is relatively coherent.

I have not listened to this one in a while, but recall enjoying it when it was first released. I had a similar reaction to the interpretation of "A Love Supreme". Maybe it is time to give this one another listen.

I recommend checking Jazz Improv magzaine's New York Jazz Guide, which is available as a free download at the website, Jazz Improv. It has a fairly complete listing of the events at most of the NYC area venues for the entire month.

One of my favorites among the more recent Rollins recordings.

I have been a fan of his since the Levert days. I also had an opportunity at least once to hear him live. He was a very good performer. In a genre where many seem to be successful without any actual talent, Gerald had a very strong and recognizable voice. He will be missed.

I have ordered from them at least once in the past and had no problems. In fact, I was surprise whent he Cd arrived from France in less than one week from the day I placed the order.

Try a Dave Liebman/Ellery Eskelin disc called "Different but the Same" on Hathut. His drumming on there is incredible. I have that disc and enjoy it a lot. I simply did not notice Black as much on that disc.

The only drummer I can recall drawing my attention in a negative way is Jim Black. I have heard him on recordings with Ellery Eskelin and a disc with Kris Defoort and Mark Turner. I always seem to notice him - and react negatively. I probably need to give him more time.

I had wanted to check out that show when Greg Osby was scheduled to perform with him. But then Osby was born and my wife had a baby this week. Glad to hear it was good. I enjoy the early recordings with his group Maono, such as Metamusicians’ Stomp. I also enjoyed the recordings with James Newton, X Man and Good to Go, a Tribute to Bu. The recent duo recording with Osby on Tum, Low Blue Flame has some very interesting moments. Finally, although Nate panned it, I actually enjoyed My Friend Louis.

Alarms & Excursions. Terrific recording!

Not sure if you do vinyl, but a seller on www.gemm.com is listed as having the LP in stock for $23.00.
