There's a book launch party at Hudson Valley Vinyl in Beacon, NY on September 8.

I really like that ParkerGuyLytton session with Wheeler that has been floating around the internet. Beautiful music. Saw the trio once, as well as with Lovens + Schlippenbach (2X3=5). Good times.

yes. A few cleanings can help, but this has happened to me as well. It's a combination of humidity and outgassing from the Japanese inner bags.

Also, licensed reissues (i.e., from the label or catalog owner) don't necessarily mean that artists are getting paid.

It's a one-tracker. First cut is strong, but...

Tohru Aizawa Quartet -- Tachibana Vol. 1 -- (BBE reissue)

Neu! -- s/t -- (Brain, GER orig)

RIP.

Sweet. I have that one as well.

Yeah, great read. FWIW I worked with Nabil and Alan on the reissue. It sounds really nice.

I hope I live to be 79.

yeah, EP. He was also a fan of Brexit though, so, you know...

It was noted today that she also paid Angela Davis' bail in 1970. She's a badass.

sorry I missed out on the Music of Islam box. Have quite a few LPs in this area but I'm sure the Celestial Harmonies box is stupendous.

he wouldn't let me buy him his beer one time. Got kinda mad that I offered, which was weird. Still like him as a player, A+.

I like early EP a lot so things like Karyobin, Summer 1967, Baptised Traveller et al really float my boat. Karyobin is simply a beautiful example of collective improvisation.

Cecil looks great in that spread.

Ken Pickering, founder of the Vancouver Jazz Festival and seemingly just about the nicest dude on the planet, has died. My only interactions with him were online but he seemed like a great guy. Will miss seeing his enthusiastic energy out there on the internet airwaves. https://vancouversun.com/entertainment/local-arts/vancouver-jazz-fest-founder-ken-pickering-dies-after-cancer-battle

Karyobin rules. The new Emanem remaster is glorious.

Good finds upthread, sidewinder. I have the Foot Patting version of that Griffin LP as well; cost a bit more than 3 pounds alas.

I don't think any of the records translate experiencing him live (especially when he was a bit younger and more forceful), although a few come close. Conic Sections, The Snake Decides, and the later Schlippenbach Trio titles are great places to start. Agreed about the rhythm section of Edwards and Sanders... beastly! Seeing the Schlippenbach Trio in Berlin in 2002 was life-changing for me.

Hopefully that Venn diagram of subscribers and sex offenders would have minimal overlap.

I still think about Barton from time to time. It's hard not to. Wonder if the editors of DB know the story?

now, Archie Shepp -- On This Night -- (Impulse orig stereo)
