Misterioso

I was positively surprised by the sound quality (but I only heard the first Antibes concert so far). Nice package, no regrets.

John Coltrane Quartet - France 1965: The Complete Concerts

Thanks! A Mola Mola Makua preamp (from your country) and a Brinkmann Bardo deck. The amps are part of my speakers (Neumann KH 150). It's a whisky bottle, Glenfarclas 15 yrs, matured in sherry casks. A family-owned distillery in Speyside. By the way, I bought the portrait of Peter Brotzmann from a Melbourne photographer, Tobias Titz, who had the chance to take the portrait with a large format camera when Bro was visiting Melbourne. I like it a lot.

Jazz in der Kammer Nr. 71 Brötzmann, Van Hove, Bennink

I might be wrong, but I think this is a mono recording. I am listening to it right now, pressing the mono button on my preamp makes no difference. Surprising for a 2023 recording. Great music nevertheless!

Some interesting and entertaining memories from Kirk Lightsey: KIRK LIGHTSEY TELLS HIS STORY | Coming & Going Sorry if this has been posted before.

Sorry for the tiny size. I don't know how to post a picture in decent size given the < 100kB restriction.

Arrived in good condition and ripped to my hard disc so that I can access them via Roon: Thanks to Matt and everyone involved in this huge project.

Same here.

RIP Blue Velvet is among my favourite movies.

Well, here is one of those subscribers. It seemed like a sensible thing to do at that time to save on postage costs to Australia.

Nina Simone - Little Girl Blue (2015 Analogue Productions reissue)

Same here, still waiting.

RIP Two favorites:

What an incredible actress she was. Will be watching A Woman Under the Influence in her memory tonight. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyn3p853k5o

RIP. What a loss for the jazz world. Forever grateful for his immense contributions.

Got the SHM CD version from Yamano Music in Ginza today. A birthday gift to myself. They had plenty of stock there. Can’t listen to it until my return to Australia, I am afraid.

Solo Brötzmann

An article in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/peter-brotzmann-legend-of-free-jazz-dies-at-82 "he died peacefully in his sleep at home in Wuppertal" Sorry, posted simultaneously.

This is sad news. No other artist meant as much to me as Peter Brötzmann. I will miss him dearly. RIP

I wasn't sure whether I should subscribe. Your arguments won me over. Plus the potential to save on postage with combined international shipping. Moderator, Would it make sense to combine this thread with the one for the first volume to just have a single thread for the whole PAPA series?

The Horace Tapscott Quintet CD on the Mr Bongo label states "Licensed from Flying Dutchman Archives". I just read that Bob Thiele's son (Bob Thiele Jr.) is reviving the Flying Dutchman label. I wonder whether he owns the rights to the label's back catalog as well.
