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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, there's a program you can buy on the web called iPod Access which lets you back up your iPod to whatever hard drive you like.
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.

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

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

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.

Can anyone comment on how Horace is doing these days?
I've heard various unconfirmed rumors that he is in poor health
I sincerely hope that these rumors are not true-and that although he appears
not to be performing anymore, then at least he is in good health?
We're down to so few of the 50s BN artists, that it would be great to just hear
that one is simply retired....
I've heard that he is not well. From pretty close sources. His son moved Horace out of his home in Malibu back to the New York area and he might be in a nursing care situation. The last time I saw him, at Catalina's a couple of years ago, he was in a wheelchair and lucid, but things have gotten worse.
-
I'm paying attention. Nice to joke now, but it is a real issue.
Although they said that the person that Obama met didn't die of this, but had long-term health issues and died of pneumonia.
But among the concerns:
- People not extremely young or old are dying (like Spanish influenza)
- Mexico City, a global hub city, is key distribution site
- No known vaccine
However, no one I believe has yet died in the US, indicating that more rapid medical attention to those who are sick can be effective. And flu prophylactics like Tamiflu.

A live concert recording at Towson University, Baltimore on December 9th, 2007.
Throughout this set, Eskelin, Parkins, and Black are completely at ease with the core material…
Over the years these three have grown into a unit that can bristle and wail; pick up on a melody
and swing; or stretch out to whispering textures and scrubbed flutters. The magic is how they
string this all together as a seamless whole with careful listening and poised reflexes. That’s been
one of the ongoing joys of listening to this trio. Its all about hearing how they have worked
together to forge an ensemble sound and then checking in during each ensuing tour or release
to find out how they’ve built on that foundation. That dynamism is in full force here.
We’re fortunate that the tapes were rolling this “one great evening…” – Michael Rosenstein
Concert enregistré en direct à la Towson University de Baltimore le 9 décembre 2007.
Tout au long de cet album, Eskelin, Parkins et Black se montrent totalement à l'aise avec
le matériau de base... Au fil des ans, le trio s’est affirmé comme une formation capable d’opter
pour un beat touffu et tonitruant ou de choisir une ligne mélodique qui se met à swinguer, ou
encore d’étirer la matière sonore jusqu’à des dissonances et abstractions harmoniques.
La magie réside dans la façon dont les musiciens, par leur écoute attentive et leurs réflexes
pleins d’assurance, alignent ces séquences en un tout continu. Un plaisir qui ne se dément
jamais à l’écoute de ce trio. Tout se résume à entendre la manière dont ils ont travaillé dés
l’origine pour créer un son d’ensemble, puis à comprendre, à chaque tour ou sortie d’album
qui s’ensuit, comment ils ont construit sur cette base. La dynamique fonctionne à plein ici.
Une chance pour nous que les bandes tournaient durant cette «soirée de jazz exceptionnelle... »
– Michael Rosenstein
Live-Mitschnitt eines Konzertes in der Towson University, Baltimore, am 9. Dezember 2007.
Während des ganzen Sets fühlen sich Eskelin, Parkins und Black überaus wohl mit dem
musikalischen Ausgangsmaterial … Die drei sind über die Jahre zu einer Einheit zusammen-
gewachsen, können sich widerspenstig geben und laut klagen, eine Melodie aufgreifen und
swingen, ein klangliches Spektrum von zarten, filigranen Texturen bis zu flirrenden, klirrenden
Sounds offerieren. Wie sie das alles durch achtsames Aufeinander-Hören und schnelles,
souveränes Aufeinander-Reagieren zu einem nahtlosen Ganzen fügen, ist Magie und einer
der Gründe, warum es immer wieder eine wahre Freude ist, diesem Trio zuzuhören. Also zu
hören, wie sie miteinander einen Ensemble-Sound geformt haben, und bei jeder Tournee
oder neuen Veröffentlichung herauszufinden, wie sie ihre Musik auf dieser Grundlage weiter-
entwickelt haben. Auf dieser CD entfaltet sich die Musik in ihrer vollen Dynamik. Wir haben
das Glück, dass die Bänder liefen an jenem „wunderbaren Abend“ … – Michael Rosenstein

Don't you all worry about the market. They have sold over a million Beatles CDs this year alone. They will sell millions and millions of these. if someone has t 2 or 3 Beatles albums, they'll go out and buy a different one or two that they have been waiting on. Parents will buy them for their kids. You name it. Stop thinking in terms of weird geeky completists like all of us jazz collectors and extreme music lovers.

Dear Friend,
Hat Hut Records enters today March 31st, 2009 in its 35th year of operation.
Despite the label’s many successes and strong critical reputation, after all these
years it has become increasingly more difficult to sell “the music of the future.”
It is our hope to be able to continue on our path for many more than 35 years.
There is more “music for the future” which waits to be discovered and released.
Hat Hut Records entre aujourd'hui le 31 mars 2009 dans sa 35ème année d'activité.
En dépit des succès nombreux remportés par le label, et de sa solide réputation
de critique, il est devenu au terme de toutes ces années de plus en plus difficile
de vendre «la musique du futur».
Notre espoir est de pouvoir poursuivre sur notre chemin bien au delà des 35 années.
Tant de «musiques pour le futur» attendent d’être découvertes et diffusées!
Hat Hut Records tritt heute am 31. Maerz 2009 in sein 35jaehriges Bestehen. Trotz der
vielen erfolgreichen Produktionen des Labels, die auch von der Kritik mit großem Lob
bedacht worden sind, wird es immer schwieriger, "Musik für die Zukunft" zu verkaufen.
Wir hoffen, unseren Weg noch weit ueber 35 Jahre fortsetzen zu koennen. Es gibt mehr
"Musik für die Zukunft", die nur darauf wartet, entdeckt und veroeffentlicht zu werden.

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.
