Fascinating! He seemed like an interesting character. Wish I'd gotten to interview him.

Thanks, Ed. Would be curious who was with Frank Smith on those dates.

That Marion Brown concert shown above was supposedly recorded for an ESP release that never came out. Wonder if the tapes survived?

yes, on CD rather than LP, however.

Awesome news -- not sure if I will be able to make it down to the city for this, but in any event, have a great hit!

yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they were licensed via MUZAK via Alan Bates. I don't think the artists were paid much then for this series (Dixon has suggested the terms were pretty bad -- which is why his proposed entry in the series never came out), and they sure aren't getting compensated now.

sound sucks, interesting music though.

Love New York Calling; have had When Destiny Calls a couple of times and could never get into it for whatever reason. My problem, not his!

Josef Anton Riedl -- s/t -- (Wergo, GER) pretty great set of pieces including the percussion work "Paper Music" as performed by Mike Lewis and Michael Ranta of Wired.

Is it a cover feature? Will be curious to see if Andrey applies some punnish title like "Breaking Wind" or "Wind-up"...

wow, that is quite a process. Sending healing vibes your way!

looks like a must-buy.

I can inquire with Tom.

yeah, I wasn't as sure at first but you nailed it!

wonder if recordings with Irène Schweizer will surface? Would love to hear those. He would've been quite young.

thanks for the reminder; that was fun.

Bummer. RIP.

Mine landed today. All good.

Space Walk seems to not have walked to too many US shops; that's the one I need.

my memory says I read something that he was dealing with dementia or dementia-like symptoms, but that he could still play.

at 96 years of age, it's probably not as easy a production as it once was. Glad we've got what we've got from him.

update: DHL shipped on Monday, should arrive later this week. Would have liked a notification, though!

well, it is a PayPal transaction & easy enough to dispute if they can't fulfill the order. But I would like to have the set!

ah shit, was just wondering about this myself.

Yes!
