  1. Thought I'd report back and say that although the conference was poor there was a lot to enjoy in New Orleans. Great food, at K-Pauls and Nola especially. There is a lot of music and Snug Harbor http://www.snugjazz.com/ was great the night I was there with a quartet featuring Jesse McBride. Lots of good music in bars (tried a fairly random selection) and the buskers in Jackson Square were worth more than a few dollars in the bin...

    Couple of Record stores to report on, Louisiana Music Factory on Decatur had an interesting selection of used and new and Skippy Whites round the corner on Conti had a great selection of local and not so local soul

    Thanks for the help

    PS Oh and the more traditioanl New Orleans Jazz I heard sounded might fine to my ears too :)

  2. Lots of interesting stuff here on copyright which maybe would be a better topic for discussion than solely Proper reissues love them/hate them. I have a couple which I seldom listen to like all the slabs of box sets I like the look of but seldom take off the shelf, 40 min albums work best for me!

    I work in book publishing (medicines information, so no interesting freebies unless you are a pharmacist) and copyright is an important part of protecting the rights of intellectual property. As such its useful in our business though piracy/misuse of ip in some parts of the world is a problem (from students photocopying books at US universities to complete books copied and bound in India). Most of our publications go out of date so the long term consequences are less problematic than short term and indeed our publications use in historical research is helped by their going out of copyright.

    Its different with books particularly since there is a longer time frame of production 500 years vs the 100 for recorded sound. And I wouldn't welcome indefinate copyright since who would benefit from Wuthering Heights or Moby Dick going back into copyright? Little need to help benefit for the Bronte/Melville family or the orginal publishers if you ask me. (Though I'm not sure why intellectual property has less value than physical property in philosophical terms)

    The implications in recorded or broadcast media I'm less sure about. I'm no expert but I've always wondered why recordings differ from printed books in that the European standard for published works are life plus 70 years (copyright primer here http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/okbooks.html). Surely that in itself would benefit many jazz musicians?

  4. Sorry I'm a day late but given the prices you mention I'd definitely pick up Echoes for 9.95. Its got all of the Gosdin Brothers album pictured above plus some Byrds stuff written by Clark and a couple of rarities. White Light too is excellent.

    I like the Byrds a lot though hadn't listened for ages and recently picked up the untitled album. The cover of Lowell Georges' Willin is fantastic and makes me think that I should pick up some of that?

    Any ideas where to start there?

    (Oh and I've always love Chestnut Mare...)

  5. The MPS I picked up in a sale some time ago and enjoyed the tristano influence, though need to dig it out again, so definitely worth looking for or MPS reissuing. When I was in Prague some years ago I spent an hour listening to the local jazz output and bought a few discs. Sure I have some estonian jazz too...

    There is lots of music out there if you care to look for it. Lots of forgotten gems and careers that few remember or reputations in a state of neglect.

    Any others?

  6. A recent purchase this and though not my favourite Wheeler (Gnu High is the first Wheeler I heard and has a special place) it certainly rates very highly with a great cast and Wheelers unusual and distinctive writing. I'm no musician either but his writing has a sadness and beauty I can find nowhere else.

    Listening again it has a lovely sound throughout too.

    Recommend the recent reissue of Song for Someone on Evan Parkers psi label, for an earlier (1974) recording with a related band.

    I too would love to hear Windmill Tilter ...

  7. CD arrived day before yesterday so although I've given it a couple of plays through, I'll maybe post a more thorough review when I've digested it more.

    Caveats are that I am Scottish and the proximity to Burn's night and haggis consumption may colour my judgement. :)

    I've also been picking up a few of the Caber Releases as I've seen them. I've got:

    Trio AAB - Wherever I lay ... (which is interesting but doesn't grab me like I hoped),

    Martyn Kershaw (enjoyable, with a great version of Dance of the Siamese Children),

    Both Celtic Feet albums (likeable but maybe a bit too folky for me)

    and the Chick Lyall - Solitary Dance CD which again is interesting and enjoyable, but more later...

    Initial standouts are Colin Steele which is an interesting composition with Scottish folk elements. Arguelles is an unsung talent too

    The Brian Kellock track is excellent so I'll be keeping and eye out for that album. (As an aside I caught a bit of a broadcast of Kellock and Tommy Smith at St Magnus' Cathedral that was excellent! Worthy of release?)

    The Celtic Feet I'm less sure of. Its enjoyable but maybe a bit too folky for me. I have the albums (picked up secondhand, sorry) and always meant to dig them out again which I will.

    Surprise for me was the Chick Lyall track, from an album which I own but have never really spent the time with. Isolated the track sounded great so I will definitely spend more time with that.

    Will post more when I've listened more!

  8. I'll throw my view in. I've got pretty catholic taste and love lots of kinds of music from country to rock but with a big jazz thing.

    In country its Jim Reeves. Just a few songs but He'll Have to Go especially.

    ELO have their moments for me too.

    The other Guilty Pleasures are those pop or dance tunes that get under your skin. You know you'll hate them eventually but Kylie, Cant get you out of my Head , Beyonce, Dangerous in Love, Avalances, Since I met You all get stuck in there...

  9. Hi All

    I'm delighted to say that the disc turned up and I've had a blast listening to it. I'll be honest and say that its much more of my thing than the previous test. I've not had time to sit down and pen a response to the music which I'll try to do over the weekend.

    Inital resonse is great though and though I'd say there is nothing on this disc that I have and precious few I even recognise there is some stuff I'll have to explore. Track 10 in particular jumped out at me and its something that I've had to look for others opinions on. Its a band I've listened to a few things and never liked. Obviously listening to the wrong albums...

    More later

    c

  10. I've never heard the IAI Turning Point but have a Savoy issue with some (all?)of the same material. Its truly fantastic and I'd agree that Ida Lupino is magnificent. (sure there is an alternate on my savoy version. )

    Anyone confirm whether this is all the same material?

    The Pete LaRoca I'd like to find also and still have it on a cassette taped from an LP which called it Love Planet by Chick Corea...
