ah, nice. It's kind of surprising that there hasn't been one since the Verve CD reissue of old.

yeah, I mean Jon Dale's piece for FactMag (21 pages of excavation) could not have been written in 1996 -- now we have YouTube links and anybody can check out the sounds for free if they want to. I'd say it is a good thing but I miss the days of blind buys and mustiness.

All these nice Verves but no Alan Shorter?

yeah I think all the Pinotti stuff has been wiped from the internet. He ran Qbico and Sagittarius A-Star as well as doing some other micro-run bootleg pressings. Print is the only way to keep things active forever! Thurston's list is enthusiastic, certainly a bit dated but it was the mid-90s and he was writing for an alt-rock audience that was mostly unaware of this kind of music. I have everything mentioned in there (including some stuff that was never released) and it took damn near 25 years to track it all down. The NWW list is even more of a challenge.

I regrettably let my Castelli booklets go in a move. The Pinotti lists were online, not printed out. The last one must've been in the early 2000s.

they worked together -- Pinotti also had lists, in addition to running the Qbico label.

no such thing as a dumb question!

he was a dealer based in Italy and had internet auctions and set sale lists back in the 90s/early 00s.

I think that might've been one of the first Japanese free jazz records I bought, from one of Emanuele Pinotti's old lists. Great album, haven't dug it out in years though!

my wife turned me on to Terry Allen. 'nuff said.

Really interested in hearing this. Sloan and Kenslow bought Tom's collection and store stock (Jazz Record Revival) earlier in the year, so I'd assume that's when it was unearthed. I can understand wanting to move quickly while Jordan is still alive, but it would be nice to know who else is on the date.

Desmond is great on it indeed. Love their pairing in the 50s and 60s.

so sorry to hear this, Larry. My condolences.

yeah, excellent player. Still active in Amsterdam -- those cheese warehouse sessions are mighty fine. Look him up on YouTube. Thanks for checking the interview!

Noord posts here once in a while. Love Cry & Super Nimbus is definitely a "want"... the Soulbrass Inc. record is quite excellent.

agree. the Free Jazz Blog is weak sauce.

the only record cover I have that I plan to frame is a defaced Kenny G album that an artist friend of mine did some ghastly alterations to, including partially wrapping it in a toilet paper coating.

not Pure Pleasure. Very high quality reissue, and the label is working with the man himself on getting it out again. I'm traveling for work but will try to post up some good shots when I get back in a couple weeks. We moved three months ago and I can safely say everything is out of boxes and into some sort of shelving situation.

My apartment in Brooklyn had 11' ceilings and I was able to do shelves much like TTK's setup. All custom birch ply shelving, floor to ceiling. Now as I'm in the Hudson Valley and living in a house, the LPs are in a couple of rooms to spread out the load and not put undue stress on the floors. It's not as impressive at first glance (and I'm still working on the feng shui) but the contents are what matters. It's a modest size collection of about 6,000 LPs and 2,500 CDs.

it should hew to the sound of the original.

for what it is worth I know a little more about the Alkebulan reissue. It's a slow process but afaik it is still happening!

Ah yes, I know of her through Ted but haven't heard that CD. Will seek it out.

Unless your name is Senator Jesse Helms, I don't think the "you" was directed at you, HutchFan. and yeah, Helms was full of rot, probably still is.
