Sweet! I'd like to review this for the NYC Jazz Record. I'm sure we can put it in sometime in early 2014.

yeah, seems like he was.

For whatever reason I didn't get to the Miles/Coltrane Olympia set until a couple of years ago. Coltrane is incredible and in stark contrast to the rest of the band. Really fantastic music.

yeah, I think you're right.

A lot of early ECMs sound totally different - maybe Eicher hadn't perfected the reverb quotient, or maybe it was because he didn't record all of them at that point. They are often a lot rawer than stuff from the mid-80s onward. Also the US pressings/masterings are rolled off, or seem to be - the German issues are not.

Thollot, Gaslini and Avenel were major losses; I didn't realize Micheline Pelzer died too. I had thought both Doyle and Charles Moore passed in 2013. It's getting hard to keep track, which is depressing.

Haha My ears aren't the most astute here by far, but I heard sound samples on the site that gave me pause - big time.

Indeed, love that one. Now: Cage - Freeman Etudes I-VIII (Zukofsky) - CP2

the Rough Trade mix is definitely a bit distant and brings out a cold punkish quality perfect for London and Manchester kids at the time.

I like that one. Put it in the "Black Rock" vein but it's still filed among all the other creative music LPs, from Ellington to FMPs...

Yeah, I have had trouble maintaining what was a good ex-pro-sport regimen in Austin since relocating to an urban environment. Need to fis that.

Do you have any unused sleeves for Les Stances a Sophie? Mine is pretty worn.

Capuchin Swing is one of maybe two early Jackie sides I do not own, oddly enough.

Not even a funk fan per se but that JB's record is totally great.

will have to dig mine out again - it's been years - but I remember it sounding fine. The introduction is awesome.

Wow - I have a couple of the LPs but would definitely think about buying a Mosaic of this, especially if it's done in a way that honors or exceeds Beehive's original intent.

Yeah, I have read that Cherry was actually living in Vancouver for a minute. Is that right?

whoa. I do remember that controversy in KC but did not make the reception/performance (probably too young, now that I think of it - sometime in the 90s?)

Thanks - I'd been meaning to look up her work.

Nice guy, fantastic musician. HB TB. Piece I did on him here.

Well, as the title says, it's "A Matter of Taste."
