apparently some copies of the LP were pressed with the same music on both sides, so keep your eyes out for that defect.

plosin dot com is working for me right now, no problem.

too bad. Legendary.

nah, they are done.

It's good. Brief, but good. The one that Porter reissued years ago is more fleshed out. I think it has recently been reissued on LP as well.

ditto.

Can't see buying the Henderson; Morgan, maybe, just because I have a few holes in the LP collection and the alternates would be nice to have (ditto Shorter, but...). I'd much rather see them do Bill Barron, even though I have all that material already, just because. And various Uptown material too, whew. Of course I have dream sets that very few people would buy (mining the Bill Dixon Bennington tapes, for example). But Mosaic may no longer be the model/answer for what many of us are after, and with CDs not selling like they used to, it seems unsustainable.

yeah, I still need the 45 and the first LP on New Jazz as well. Sorted otherwise, tremendous player.

HA!

The Music of !Kung Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, Africa -- (Folkways, US)

Stanley Cowell/Dave Burrell -- Questions/Answers -- (Trio, JP)

It was tempting but I passed, mainly because I'm getting ready to move and staring down the barrel of boxing up way too many records and CDs already.

Eddie Daniels -- This Is New -- (Takt, JP) nice quintet date with Terumasa & Motohiko Hino, Masabumi Kikuchi, and Kunimitsu Inaba.

sad news. Griffiths was awesome; don't know Nichols.

Once I'm qualified I'm definitely getting it!

Rooster, I think you did the right thing. Lon, sorry to hear about your dad. Hoping that he turns the right corner.

Jimmy Greene talked about it quite a bit when I saw him perform a few years ago. When I interviewed Jackie, I did get a strong "hanging out in the professor's office hours" vibe. Same with Archie Shepp. One can at least get a sense of the style.

I have an original and it is a bit lo fi but that's part of its charm. Still a powerful record, certainly my favorite of Reid's Mustevic albums. Haven't heard the Universal Sound to compare. Ali Abuwi recorded it at Studio We, down on Eldridge and Rivington in the Lower East Side (the building is still there, luxury apartments above a deli), and always favored a much more raw and gritty approach to capturing sound.

that's not bad. By the way, they should be coming from Lithuania, not Latvia.

I saw the Arkestra last right before COVID hit the US, and they sounded tremendous. This was at Town Hall in New York. I'll have to pick this up!

Shit, sad sad news. Never saw him perform but always loved his music. RIP.

Ugh, so sorry to hear this. And Dimitry, get well soon.

Ouch. Sad news.

Right, that would make sense. Now: Gianni Basso Quartet -- Jazz A Confronto 3 -- Horo

I just have the King JP version, which sounds good enough if possibly a little thin. Great session.
