Regarding the availability of "Harlem Jazz Anecdotes" through a public library, my local library, Bethlehem Public Library, takes special requests for books that are not available to it through the regional library system it is a part of. Indeed, I made a special request for "Harlem Jazz Anecdotes" within the last year and was able to take it out on loan for a specified period with no chance for renewals. This is something that I have done for other books not available in our regional library system. In such instances, I check WorldCat.org for the availability of the desired book. Worldcat will show if a desired book is available and where based on proximity to your location (I understand Worldcat can search worldwide). This presents an alternative to the special loan request. That is, you might go to the closest source that has your desired book and take the book out directly from that source. In the case of "Harlem Jazz Anecdotes", a copy was available at a college library 11 miles from my home and that library would have loaned me the book based on my local library card (or a state library card). I was just too lazy to do so. Of course, I could have read the book at that college library.

I plan to go. I absorbed "singularity codex" around the time of the last Vision Fest and am glad to have done so.

Mine just arrived

Just received notice that my box is being prepared for shipment. Yeah!! However on the Mosaic website a few days ago I sent a message concerning shipment to which I have not yet received a response.

This past Saturday, Sun Ra Arkestra at Opus 40 statutory park in Saugerties, NY. Last night, Billy Harper Quintet at the Bushnell Park in Hartford, CT. Both outdoors-90 degrees and humid!!! This evening-Alexa Tarantino Quintet at Zankel Hall, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY. Thankfully, this one will be inside.

Chuck-How was East Axis? They appear at The Falcon in Malboro NY at end of month. Last Night, Sun Ra Arkestra outside last night at Opus 40 in Saugerties. 90 degrees and both the audience and the band were hot!!! This coming Monday night (Hopefully): Billy Harper Quintet outside at Bushnell Park, Hartford CT. This coming Tuesday night: Alexa Tarantino at Zankel Hall at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY

I ordered May 5th. Have not received any shipping notice as yet.

Recently watched "Remembering Gene Wilder" and it included a still from "Start the Revolution without Me" in which Gene starred with Donald Sutherland. Saw that film as a double header with "Monty Python's Flying Circus" knowing nothing about either film. Hilarious evening. Sutherland was great.

If you like Eastern Rebellion, and particularly with George Coleman, #5 was issued on June 23, 2021 (CD Japan did not list it as #5 but the cover clearly indicates it as such, also can be found on discos) and #6 will be issued on June 19th. #5 is a live recording at the Jazz Club October, July 26, 1976 and is on YT. #6 is allegedly from the 1976 Umbria Jazz Festival-CD Japan does not provide a date. Both supposedly never issued on cd before. A recording from the July 20, 1976 Umbria Jazz Festival is loaded on YT but no indication as to whether this is the basis for the cd release.

Generally echo Steve's comments

Plan to be at both concerts

Uploaded a year ago. In case you did not listen to it already:

Dusty Groove indicates that there will be 4 cd box set release of Braxton's "Lorraine" music apparently drawn from live concerts, e.g., Vilnius, Antwerp, Rome. On the "Angelica" label from Italy.Up for preorder. release Date of April 12th.

Tonight: Nels Cline, Chris Lightcap, Ingrid Laubrock and Tom Rainey at the Falcon in Marlboro, NY. Just got back. great concert

Finally reading Mark Stryker's "Jazz from Detroit". He mentions there is a 25 minute video of Sheila Jordan from 1971. Cool. Found it on YouTube and for those who have not seen it: Not a bad band. Jan Garbarek, Bobo Stenson, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen.

Yes, I thought abut Misc. Music.

According to David Haney on Facebook and Wikipedia Bob Rusch of Cadence Magazine had died. Wikipedia indicates on January 14, 2024. Yes, Bob Rusch was not an artist but it felt strange to put this under any other section.

Sent PM

I plan to be there. Afterwards, I may stop by the Avalon Lounge in Catskill (Exit 21 or two exits north of Kingston). From 6-7 PM, Bobby Previte plans to play there with Keith Pray, John Esposito and Otto Gardiner. Great Korean food albeit short menu.

Joseph Daley reposted on FB a message from the New York AACM chapter that Frank Gordon died in December 2023.
