oh, haha, yeah I remember that vaguely. love Ornette but don't feel like I need the box. I went to the memorial service and it was incredibly deep.

yeah, I understand it to be because the editors of each had a massive, massive falling out.

I don't know if I was banned but after the NYC Jazz Record/AAJ split, where I stuck w/ the former, many of my articles had my byline removed and replaced with "staff." Then again, they were written so long ago that they may not even be up any longer and most of the html was broken due to their incessant, nonsensical updates. There are a couple of excellent writers still there, but I avoid the site at this point.

V/A - Give Me Love: Songs of the Brokenhearted – Baghdad, 1925-1929 - (Honest Jon's, UK) great set I hadn't dug out in awhile

Charles Mingus - East Coasting - (Bethlehem, JP Sony issue)

so the o-board has outlasted AAJ and JazzCorner, right?

was just going to pop in and post that one myself...

thanks, gents!

I never really thought of these outfits as 'post-rock' at the time, more an update on 'space-rock' perhaps, but the music of Flying Saucer Attack, Jessamine, Roy Montgomery and Windy & Carl, while diverse, certainly might appeal to some here. Saw a band last night that might appeal to the heavier/rockish tendencies upthread going by the moniker Horse Torso. Two guitarists, bassist and drummer (who seemed to be directing things) and in the vein of artists like Don Caballero, U.S. Maple, Cheer-Accident and Ativin. New group without an LP as of yet, but perhaps one to watch.

I don't know Jerry Ragovoy!

How about Kristin Slipp? I really like her work, surely the op would not.

yeah, it was in the papers here in NY -- surprised it hasn't been posted already! He was a master.

I think it's a good, fun record -- not essential, but cool and I'm glad to be able to listen to it when the mood strikes.

I have a feeling that the contemporary vocalists I enjoy wouldn't help the original poster's point.

that cover photo is amazing!

this is cool, thanks for passing along.

yeah, so far I prefer it to the Columbias but then again it's been ages since I've spun those.

Gigi Gryce - and the Jazz Lab Quintet - (Riverside, orig stereo)' lovely recent find.

Cecil Taylor - Stereo Drive - (United Artists US orig)

In November I was too bummed to listen to much music. Friday, I actually had the day off and did a podcast radio show wherein things like the Solidarity Unit and Love Cry Want were played. Spent most of the rest of the day doing errands and went to a birthday party, so I guess that was it for spinning albums. Saturday I marched and watched a bad movie afterward. Sunday, errands most of the afternoon and a few of the usual spins in the evening -- as with Sangrey, I just threw on whatever I was in the mood for or was new in the floor pile.

oh, was just wondering if it was the same music and it is, with the additional track as stated.

Assume that's a repackaging of the Essen All-Stars LP (Debut DK)?

yeah, it's not for everybody but there is a diverse enough landscape of bands that fit under this rubric that something, somewhere, may appeal. My friend used to call The Sea and Cake "Steely Can" (a combo of Can and Steely Dan) and I think it's both hilarious and accurate. Tortoise is also very Can-like -- the Doug McCombs/John McEntire rhythm section takes a lot of cues from Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit (or perhaps even more the later version w/ Roscoe Gee & Liebezeit).
