Yeah. I'll try auctioning. I just posted the J.J. Johnson & Illinois Jacquet on eBay. Will do a new thread for some single CDs at lower rates.

I do love these sorts of scenarios, and they form the basis for quite a few of the fantasy/sf books I read. Most pertinently, many years ago I read a sf short story in which the lead character had an obsession/love affair with the past. When, through some mumbo jumbo technology/magick the nature of which I completely forget, he finally was granted his wish to actually travel into the past, he had no control over the process. So he ended up in some pre-historic era in which the human-like residents were knuckle-draggers without even fire. A long way from that dude's favourite historic eras. And when he finally got to travel back to what he thought would be his own time zone, he ended up in a joint so far into the future that there was nothing but endless corridors of cold, white, humming computers. Isn't this H.G. Wells's The Time Machine? I remember one by Bradbury where a hunter and a guide go back to hunt a dinosaur. The hunter steps off the proscribed path ever so slightly, they return to the present, and everything is changed, because he stepped on a butterfly when he stepped off the path. An SF classic, the title of which escapes me at the moment. Could "thunder" be part of the title?

Hi, No, wasn't me, must have been someone else offering it. I haven't changed any of the prices yet. If I do, it will be to lower them.

It is? Thanks, I thought it was out of print. Should have checked. OK, let me delete it. If any of these other prices are out of line, let me know. I'm flexible.

Hi, I'm about to auction some sets, but thought I should give you all a chance first. All are in very good to great shape, probably kept they way you keep them, played not very often, box, booklet, CDs & liner notes complete. Need the money. Although I might consider trading one for the Armstrong or Braxton Mosaics. US Media Mail shipping included Charge extra (just for the cost) for better shipping methods or international shipping.

(Edit - deleted Mobley set)

Do those guys all teach there?!? yep. There's a venue in Long Beach that is good. And I also just saw a show at a place called Bordello in downtown LA that seems liek it could be good for you. It's pretty close to Cafe Metropole. http://cafemetropol.com/ http://www.bordellobar.com/flash/index.html I'll send you Rocco's email separately. But you can also probably reach him through http://www.angelcityjazz.com/

Check with Rocco - maybe Cafe Metropole? He might be too busy putting together the Angel City Jazz Festival over Labor Day weekend, but I assume you would be coming after that, during the school year? Maybe the Smell in downtown? The place I saw you last time, Safari Sam's, is out of business. And Jazz Bakery is currently out of business as well. Hope you get a chance to play with Vinny Golia, Wadada Leo Smith, and Charlie Haden while you are at Cal Arts!

Already received a reply: "July 10th is the day the CD can be shipped ou the CD-factory. Alan Lawrence of Jazz Loft has ordered the CD together with the reissue of Roach/Shepp and should be able to offer it from his mail order service end of this month." he also sent this: "Horace Tapscott's The Dark Tree (2-630) will be ready on July 10th, 2009. Max Roach & Archie Shepp's The Long March (2-640) earlier ready on July 16th, 2009. Anthony Braxton's Creative Orchestra (Koeln) 1978 (2-644) will be ready on September 4th, 2009."

I think it's a global release date, but it takes a few days longer for it to get to the US. I'll check with Werner though.

There was a great-looking party, I'm pretty sure at Klein's, circa 71ish, filmed by both Jonas Mekas (on film) and Shirley Clarke (on a very early B&W video portapak). You can see each other filming in the other's footage. Among the attendees were John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol, Miles Davis. Miles & Lennon shoot hoops - Lennon is terrible and Davis sweeps the floor with him.

I live about ten minutes from Staples Center, and was debating whether to take teh subway there tomorrow morning just to see what it might be like. But now they are telling everyone to stay away, and I've come to my senses. Every time in the past where everyone has panicked over crowds in LA (such as teh '84 Olympics), it's never turned out to be a problem, since enough people get scared away.

My plan was up on July 13, and they were going to automatically roll it over into a plan that had only 35 credits a month, instead of 75, for about the same money, I put it on hold for 90 days. Need the money, and will see if anything changes. I'll cancel it in 90 days if nothing changes.

I like the Solal-Konitz very much. Just received this: Horace Tapscott's The Dark Tree will be ready on July 10th, 2009. hatOLOGY 2-630 Horace Tapscott : The Dark Tree Horace Tapscott –piano John Carter – clarinet Cecil McBee – double bass Andrew Cyrille – drums CD 1 Total Time DDD 59:39 CD 2 Total Time DDD 67:44 Barcode 752156063025 Reviews for the last edition: **** + "crown" Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings, 9th edition ***** All Music Guide to Jazz, 4th edition Recorded live in Hollywood on December 14-17, 1989. This was an important, revealing release when it was first issued in 1991. Now, with both Horace Tapscott and John Carter having passed on, it takes on even more significance with our knowing that they are beyond the vagaries of man and Fate, and cannot contribute any more to our lives. On The Dark Tree they created music of power and drama, beauty and spirit. It's a shame we had to wait so long to hear it, and now we should treasure it. – Art Lange Enregistrement life à Hollywood du 14-17 décembre 1989. Ce fut un album important et une révélation à sa première sortie en 1991. Maintenant que Horace Tapscott et John Carter ont tous deux disparu, il revêt une signification plus grande encore puisque nous savons qu'ils ne sont plus confrontésaux aléas de l’humanité et du destin, et qu’ils ne peuvent plus contribuer à nos vies. Dans « The Dark Tree », ils ont créé une musique de la puissance et du drame, de la beauté et de l'esprit. Il est fort dommage que nous ayons dû attendre si longtemps pour l’entendre, et nous devons aujourd’hui la chérir. – Art Lange Dieses 1991 veröffentlichte Album war wichtig und aufschlussreich. Der Tod von Horace Tapscott wie auch von John Carter verleiht ihm nur noch mehr Bedeutung, wissen wir doch nun, dass die beiden den Launen des Menschen und des Schicksals entzogen sind und keinen weiteren Beitrag mehr zu unserem Leben leisten können. Auf The Dark Tree schufen sie kraftvolle, dramatische, schöne und beseelte Musik. Schade nur, dass wir so lange darauf warten mussten – wir sollten sie dafür jetzt wie einen Schatz hüten. – Art Lange

I also generally liked it. i could see limitations if one is familiar with much of this material already, and I think there was an over-reliance on album covers. I did appreciate the grouping of covers by artist though - to have six Warhol covers all together was very nice. I appreciated more though the early art, covers from albums of 78s, and posters that I had never seen. The ceaseless racism of the art continues to astound. It was also marvelous to see the original painting featured on Steve Lacy's "the Forest and the Zoo" and to learn that the album cover flipped the painting.

Thought there might be, and brownie's initiation would make the most sense, but haven't found it yet. When I do, I'll delete this one.

Closes soon. I'm here on vacation, and intend to see it tomorrow. Anyone else go? http://www.quaibranly.fr/en/programmation/...tury/index.html garden Gallery from 17 March to 28 June 2009 curator: Daniel Soutif Jazz, along with the cinema and rock music, stands as one of the major artistic events of the 20th century. The sounds and rhythms of this hybrid musical style have made their mark on world culture. The exhibition, created by the philosopher and art critic Daniel Soutif, presents the relationship between jazz and the graphic arts chronologically throughout the entire 20th century. From painting to photography, cinema to literature, not forgetting graphic design or comics, the exhibition pays particular attention to the development of jazz in Europe and France during the 1930s and 40s.

I can go check it out. Got an address?

Thanks, NOJ, but that's not what I'm asking: How can I globally DELETE , DUMP, FLUSH, EVERYTHING that's on my iPod - NO BACKUP, as in GONESVILLE, baby - and then RE-SYNCH to what I CURRENTLY have on iTunes? All you have to do is plug it in and re-sync it. That should delete the old stuff as well.

And another email from Werner: Dear Friend, Presenting our June 15th, 2009 release: hatOLOGY 668 Lee Konitz & Martial Solal: Star Eyes 1983 (remastered reissiue of hatOLOGY 518) Lee Konitz –alto saxophone Martial Solal –piano Total Time DDD 67:40 Barcode 752156066826 A live concert recording at New-Jazz-Festival Hamburg on November 11th, 1983. In their duo, Solal's gift to Konitz is a liberation from.....inherent restrictions. This in turn inspires Konitz to follow his own lyrical impulses to the extreme–listen to how olften he stretches his line to the breaking point. This is improvisation that goes far beyond merely altered chords or variations on a theme. Each performance walks an invisible tightrope of harmonic and rhythmic agreement–alll the more treacherous for beeing completely spontaneous. – Art Lange Enregistrement du concert life au New-Jazz-Festival de Hambourg le 11 novembre 1983. Dans leur duo, le cadeau de Solal à Konitz est une libération de..... limitations implicites. Elles inspirent Konitz qui, à son tour, suit son propre élan lyrique jusqu’à l’extrême –écoutez combien de fois il étire sa ligne jusqu’au point de rupture. Il s'agit d'une improvisation qui va bien au-delà d’accords simplement modifiés ou de variations sur un thème. Chaque performance avance sur la corde raide invisible d’un engagement harmonique et rythmique – particulièrement dangereux pour être complètement spontané. – Art Lange Live-Mitschnitt eines Konzertes beim New-Jazz-Festival Hamburg am 11. November 1983. Was Solal seinem Duopartner Konitz zum Geschenk macht, ist die Befreiung von... inhärenten Beschränkungen. Das inspiriert Konitz wiederum dazu, den eigenen lyrischen Impulsen bis zum äußersten Extrem zu folgen – man höre, wie oft er seine Linien bis zum Zerreißen dehnt. Das ist Improvisation, die weit über alterierte Akkorde oder Variationen eines Themas hinausgeht. Jeder Auftritt gleicht einem Drahtseilakt, bei dem die Balance zwischen Harmonie und Rhythmus gehalten werden muss – was bei vollkommen spontanem Spiel nur umso tückischer ist. – Art Lange Best regards, Werner X.

Just received this: Dear Friend, The following two CDs have left the CD-factory and are on the way to reach the distributors. hatOLOGY 672 Polwechsel & John Tilbury : Field ( n e w ) Burkhard Beins –drums, percussion Martin Brandlmayr –drums, percussion John Butcher –tenor & soprano saxophones Werner Dafeldecker –double bass Michael Moser –cello John Tilbury –piano Total Time DDD 42:18 Barcode 752156067221 Along the Polwechsel path towards a reflected reintegration of the once excluded musical parameters, the two composers for this CD, Michael Moser and Werner Dafeldecker, have gone one step further while also reflecting Polwechsel’s own history: traditional parameters are reintroduced into the original Polwechsel idiom as disturbances, refractions or inclusions. The invitation extended to guest soloist John Tilbury is also part of the reflected reintegration of traditional elements and the extension of Polwechsel’s concept, which they develop in their cautious and persistent approach: it is a reference to both the tradition of free improvisation and the reductionist currents in modern composition, for Tilbury is not only a proven Feldman specialist, but also long-time pianist for AMM. – Nina Polaschegg En suivant la voie tracée par Polwechsel et en allant vers une réintégration de paramètres musicaux auparavant exclus, les deux compositeurs de ce CD, Michael Moser et Werner Dafeldecker, ont fait un pas en avant tout en renvoyant à l’histoire de Polwechsel: les paramètres traditionnels sont réintroduits dans le style original de Polwechsel comme autant de perturbations, réfractions ou inclusions. L'invitation adressée au soliste John Tilbury fait également partie de cette réintégration des éléments traditionnels et participe à ce prolongement du concept de Polwechsel que les musiciens développent par une approche prudente et obstinée: c’est une référence à la fois à la tradition de l'improvisation libre et aux courants réductionnistes de la composition moderne, avec unTilbury qui est non seulement un spécialiste avéré de Feldman, mais aussi un pianiste de longue date pour AMM. – Nina Polaschegg Michael Moser und Werner Dafeldecker, die beiden Polwechsel-Komponisten dieser CD, gehen auf dem Polwechsel-Weg hin zu einer reflektierten Re-Integration der einst abgeblendeten Gestaltungsparameter nun einen Schritt weiter und reflektieren dabei zugleich auch die Geschichte von Polwechsel selbst: Traditionelle Mittel kehren nun oft als Störungen, Brechungen oder Einlagerungen ins angestammte Polwechsel-Idiom zurück. Auch die Einladung an den Gast-Solisten, John Tilbury, ist Teil der reflektierten Re-Integration von Traditionselementen und der Erweiterung ihres Konzepts, die Polwechsel sich in der ihnen eigenen, vorsichtigen Stetigkeit erarbeitet: Eine Referenz an die Tradition der frei improvisierten Musik und an reduktionistische Strömungen der Komponierten Neuen Musik gleichermaßen, denn Tilbury ist nicht nur ausgewiesener Feldman-Spezialist, sondern auch langjähriger Pianist des britischen Improvisatorenkollektivs AMM. – Nina Polaschegg hatOLOGY 673 Gerry Hemingway Quintet : Demon Chaser (remastered reissue of hatART 6137) Michael Moore –alto saxophone, clarinet & bass clarinet Wolter Wierbos –trombone Mark Dresser –double bass Ernst Reijseger –cello Gerry Heminway –drums, steel drums Total Time DDD 53:58 Barcode 752156067320 A live concert recording at Ottenbrucher Bahnhof, Wuppertal-Elberfeld on March 2nd, 1993. With Demon Chaser, Gerry Hemingway has written himself into the history of this great music with a script that fulfils both the requirements of complete contemporaneousness and absolute legibility. He has signed his name in the Big Book. – Brian Morton Enregistrement du concert life à Ottenbrucher Bahnhof, Wuppertal-Elberfeld le 2 mars 1993.

First? I'm a life-long Lakers fan, and although I think they will get into the finals, I don't really see at this time how they could beat the Cavs. The Lakers are just not psychologically there.

Me too You make $20 million and the coach puts you in the game and you freaking refuse Good luck getting another contract in that price range Sorry to ask, but to whom are you referring?

I like that one and the two-disc one. The one with "Disco" in the title" isn't really disco, but the tracks are a bit flatter, and the disc didn't work so well for me. Their Panama disc is also excellent.
