Love love love Lonesome Dove. Need to read more, however. RIP.

I only have the 2LP set! Would spring for the 8 CDs but I don't need a giant 12 LP box. No room and it wouldn't get played enough.

Very sad, seemed sudden. RIP.

whatever my wife can tolerate.

Right, thanks, that's it.

He's a really good guy but yeah, I never got much of a necessity feeling about the artists/topics he covered. there's a lot of fantastic new music in the "jazz" realm too, but it isn't and wasn't in Chinen's purview.

yeah, I would assume so.

Carson records are really weird. Shepp's "Doodlin'" is another one but that seems to have also taken place as part of the America series of recordings, and just didn't fit with the others (Pitchin' Can, Coral Rock, Black Gipsy). The only Carson copy of Chi-Congo that I have seen in person looked to be a 1980s pressing, perhaps some sort of weird bootleg. The cover did not at all have the construction or feel of an early 70s French release.

yeah, where can I preorder the LPs?

my understanding was that Berjot was responsible for the America, Carson/Decca, and Galloway recordings and released/sold them as he saw fit.

Re: Chi-Congo: French Decca (via Pierre Berjot) --> EMI Odeon --> Paula --> Carson

donation!

yeah, it was totally illegal but very fun to see.

yeah, I had that and wasn't stoked on it.

yup, that tracks. The Japanese EMI-Odeon versions of People in Sorrow and Les Stances were fairly contemporaneous with the French Pathé pressings, as I understand it. I've never seen Japanese LP pressings of other Nessa-related material, unless some ended up with "import obis" over there.

It was first released on SABA, which changed its name to MPS in 1968. I just checked and my copy is in fact the SABA issue.

Made in America is rad, love it. speaking of Ornette, a buddy of mine re-set Chappaqua to include Ornette's music for the film rather than the revised soundtrack, and screened it locally (very DIY-style). It was much better!

Bomba reissued certain Nessa titles in Japan, and Chief in the UK licensed a number of things as well. I've never seen French Nessa reissues. I have seen French Delmark reissues.

yeah, I have the SABA German pressing of Sunday Walk, which is the original version as I understand it.

yeah, I have the German MPS pressing, wonderful album.

Shapeshifter is a cool spot but the sound can be a bit difficult in the space (not to mention lines of sight). If they do in fact move somewhere else, hopefully it's somewhere that is a bit more forgiving to the ears and eyes. I also know that musicians have legitimate complaints about both Smalls and Shapeshifter. It does remind me a bit of the whole Tonic situation, where there were protests in the streets led by Marc Ribot when it shut down, but when it was active every musician and many patrons had a litany of negative things to say!

That is the Sax/Sex No End record, right?

There's also Carmell Jones In Europe which includes cuts from Nathan Davis "Hip Walk" and Annie Ross/Pony Poindexter.

The Chili Peppers are terrible (IMO) but Flea is cool and can play the shit out of the bass.
