Yeah, came here to say this as well.

I have yet to see that show but it looks great.

It's true, he does.

Sammich! Never forget!

CD cheap / LP not.

Totally new to me as well. RIP.

Yeah those Hinos on Canyon are great. I like this Victor album too, the Berlin Jazz Festival one is also nice.

Can't wait to hear the fourth. 1-3 are fantastic.

weird. I thought Rutgers hosted it.

yeah, I've read that roundtable. Ugh.

Chocomotive is a good one.

Interesting figure indeed; would be interested in getting his Folkways solo LP someday. 103 is quite a run.

Original album was released on Polydor in the UK, which is the version I have and it is indeed a stellar recording.

Yeah, I wish there was a searchable OCR'ed image database containing each issue of Down Beat. But, as an archivist by trade, I can tell you that that would be extremely expensive and garner almost no profits, and such initiatives are wholly married to the powers that be -- so while a company or institution may support it for a while, as soon as they don't, the whole thing goes kaput.

yeah, I liked the Strand fine until I learned some things about their business practices and now they do not get my patronage.

107 ! Damn, what a life.

lovely album.

Haha yep. Spend your money at Spoonbill & Sugartown in Brooklyn, who are struggling to make their $14,000 monthly rent and are among the last standing independent bookstores in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area.

yeah, Strand is fucking people over. I think she's full of shit. Pushed out a lot of smaller bookstores in that area of NYC as well (or at least contributed to pushing them out) 20+ years ago.

as far as NoBusiness goes, the Guy is probably strong and the Bailey/Takagi looks pretty interesting. I also am curious about the Toyozumi-Gustafsson disc; S.T. is a wonderful drummer.

yeah, I have those on LP, all four albums are super.

yeah, Dickerson was my first thought as well. Maybe Campbell has other info, don't have access to it at the moment.

probably they haven't finished the graphic design for the new version. I see that their item text is cribbed from the Dusty Groove website, probably referencing the old CD version as well. Sheesh.

good to know, thanks.
