And now more Ornette...

Coleman's Intro to Harmolodics

Searched but didn't see this mentioned: Snooky Young's Horn of Plenty doesn't look to have had a CD release, nor any repress of its initial LP pressing back in '79. Line up includes Ray Brown, Jack Hanna, John Collins & Ross Tompkins.

True. And if he believes in this denialism angle that this virus doesn't exist and isn't a problem then that's unfortunate. I don't really know what his exact point is however, but maybe he's said more elsewhere and I haven't seen it. True as well. However as @Rabshakehpointed out, Parker's comments about them being applicable to COVID "nonsense" indicate he's adapting them for the current pandemic.

FWIW, the spoken pieces on that linked recording at Sons D'Hiver are from Kari Mullis, so it's not Parker explicitly speaking. Although it's likely he supports such statements and perspective, it should be noted that they're not snippets from a Parker interview.

Wow - did they also use that gigantic pencil in the corner to write the charts for it? Or his he hanging out with actual giants?

Shakill's Warrior & LIve at the Pit Inn are fantastic albums. I tend to rec the Ra Pit Inn disc regularly because it's got great sound for a live show.

The amounts spent on PR to bolster and soften their image has certainly helped this. This group now has their own permanent channel in many television packages, and if I'm not mistaken there may be a feature on Corea aired semi-regularly. Most don't know about the private navy that ventures out into international waters where anything goes, close ties to the intelligence community, etc., in addition to the interpersonal stuff like shunning friends/family. No idea what the awareness level of this is in Europe and elsewhere in the world but you're right, doesn't seem like a big deal to many here. I have to completely separate that stuff from his music when I listen to it, which sometimes isn't easy.

To me, Chick is almost always an artist where you can't judge the contents by the cover. He had some of the worst album covers I've ever seen, but more times than not I dig the music. This one from the early 00's fits the terrible cover/good music pattern. Much better sounding on real speakers than laptop or phones because you can get the bass and some of the lower notes he's playing.

Ha, yeah. That board will be tripping out all over this thing, likely about how much better the alt takes actually are than what was released. "Have at it" is all I can say.

Been listening to some of Corea's work from the 00's - The Ultimate Adventure & To the Stars and I'm digging it. Consistently engaging compositions and playing. I'm guessing a lot of this work was overlooked back when it was released.

And now some Swedish jazz. Disc 1 which is a duet of drums/piano with Wallin & Johansson.

He was 21 y/o when assassinated under the auspices of COINTELPRO. And remember it took a burglary by activists to expose what that program was. I have doubts about how this bio will handle all of these things including Hampton, but appreciate the use of jazz in the production.

Swiss jazz. Entertaining stuff.

I dont think this kind of opp cost can be written off. They have an asset, but are choosing to let it depreciate without capitalizing on current value. It's just sitting there, and Medjuck is most likely correct in that at least as far as physical media goes, theyre losing any potential income that they could have by licensing it. The market for physical media aint growing. Who knows what the future holds really, but there most likely wont be money for them in streaming. It would seem that if they didnt want to make money on it that they would at least donate them or make it publically available in some way. Everybody loses in this case, so at least thats equitable. Well, on 2nd thought, that depreciation may work in their favor on the balance sheet. As well, if they end up selling at a loss, that does cover some potential tax issues. No idea how cynical these folks may be, but if that's the game they're playing then rapacious would be on the mark.

Loss of potential income is called opportunity cost. And I agree with @medjuckon those could-be sets. Although rapacious might be too strong a word.

RIP. Don't think I knew he had cancer. Terrible news.

Sonny Sharrock band in Prague from '90.

Seriously getting spoiled by this release. Who else plays like this? I get some of it from Ornette's Golden Circle and Henderson at the VV...Rivers' Streams. Have also heard it with Blythe's trio on Spirits in the Field...but it really isn't super common...or I'm looking in the wrong places? I listened to some Coltrane after this record and found myself thinking they'd have been better off without Tyner () which has never crossed my mind before (I think it was India & Chim Chim Cheree - for whatever reason his playing just wasn't fitting where Elvin, Jimmy & Trane were going).

Very cool that you got to see him play live. I'm really digging this album.

Then:

Bookmark their main page in discogs.

Yeah, their physical shop isn't too far from me. Parking around there isn't ideal though. Still, good experiences to back up the rec of purchasing online from them.
