Good morning. by new releases, you mean the early mitchell and the reissue of von freemen's have not fear? or something else. how much for each title?

Live at Temple university 1966 is available from the Free Factory label for a lot less than $50.00

Marilyn Crispell in a solo concert at the Colony Cafe in Woodstock last saturday. Before that, caught Abrose Akinmusere and his group July 5th and the Heath Brothers on JUne 28th at the Zankel Music Hall at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs.

email sent on a few titles

Jazzloft has them also.

Amazon.uk now making the upcoming 4 box sets available for preorder. I did a comparison between amazon.uk and amazon.fr and found virtually no difference in net cost shipped to me in the U.S. Amazon.de is considerably more expensive. On a different matter, there are Ebay auctions for individual cds by the various artists whose Black Saint recordings have now been issued by camjazz in boxes and which auctions have not recevied bids even at starting prices of #10.00.

I had a pretty good seven days. Last Tuesday I and some friends drove from Albany NY over to Amherst Ma to catch Amir ElSaffar's Two River ensemble. Trumpet/sax/bass/drums with two ouds (at times one tabla). Very Cool. One night later, I caught Fred Ho and Salim Washington at the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy NY. Each musician did a solo bit that involved spoken word. Then they improvised a sax duo piece. Loved it. Along with his skill, Fred displays great humor in his work. Showed a music video set to his arrangment of In-a-godda-de-vida. This appears on one of his latest releases and is hilarious. Salim has a wonderful sound to his tenor. Also he is very well spoken Finally, this past Saturday, a friend co produced a concert at his wife's bookstore. The musicians were Bob Devos on guitar and Hendrik Meurkens on harmonica and vibes. Always special to hear jazz harmonica.

I received the mosaic select john carter/bobby bradford. great music!!!

it appears htat you can preorder these from downtown music gallery

weston is doing a solo set in amherst, ma next thursday the 18th. Hope to go then. I saw earlier in the year in pittsfield in a duo with blake.

I have not been able to figure out if the more recent Reinhardt box set, The Postwar Recordings 1944-1953, has any overlap with previous sets JSP issued. does anybody know?

I ordered it on the 30th within a couple hours of the original post. got an email from amazon yesterday indicating that my order had been canceled.

Saw the SF Jazz Collective last friday night. Robin Eubanks and Avisha Cohen has been replaced by Louis Bonilla and a young trumpeter who won the 09 monk competition. It was a homecoming (albany, ny) for stefon harris. Their latest thing is playing the compositions of Horace Silver. Unfortunately, imho, that night they sucked the like out of his music.

If you live in the us,ordering from amazon.uk rather than harmonia will cost you less. the amazon prices in the uk have a vat price built into. When you go through the ordering process you can see that the price is reduced once you plugged in your u.s. shipping address.

cds. Like Lon I own a fleet of vans

where are they playing in kingston and at what time? I may drive down from albany

So I made it down for the Thursday concerts with a few friends. Starting at 7 PM, Muhal Richard Abrams performed solo for approx. 50 minutes seemingly nonstop. That is, not allowing for what seemed to be intended use of space/silence. Not familiar enough with his music to identify the tune-For all I know it was simply free improvisation-and it was great. The second act was to be fred anderson with chad taylor. That obviously did not go off. Instead they had 10 minutes of silence for fred and moved on. The Lifetime Trio went next, joseph jarman, rob garcia on drums and johh ehlis on guitar. Jarman wove in comments about both Fred and Muhal. Also sang two songs. Ehlis was a suprise. He seemed to be able to play any style. At one point I dozed off (did I explain that I drove 3 hours to get there and that I usually go to sleep around 8-9 PM?) when I woke up a very tall distinguished looking older man was playing tenor. Shit I thought it looked like John Tchicai. And it was him!!!!!!!! Very Cool despite the lack of a/c and the temp inside being around 85 degrees. The whole set was under an hour. The final act came on-Abrams with Harrison Bankhead on bass and Ari Brown on sax. Again seemed to be doing free inprov for an hour. Great stuff. And except for the emotions with Fred's passing, a great evening. Drove home, got 4 hours of sleep and went to work with a smile on my face. For somebody approaching 60 not bad.

I have spoken with a "Fred" at Mosaic off and on for quite a while.

It should be noted that the carter/bradford box set includes "Seeking" which has been available on the various Hat labels for a while. I have that disc but still intend on getting the set.

I am planning to go with some friends for the concerts on the 24th including the ones for muhal richard abrams. would be my first time hearing him in concert.
