    Three thumbs up! (Wait, that can't be right....) Been trying to find a semi-affordable copy (or at least not beat) copy of this for years - always try to go cheap on Horos. Finally paid up for a very clean one and it was well worth it.

    Okay, two-day interview process completed. Now, on to writing thank-you notes. Question: with meetings across departments and with committees of varying size, to what degree are such letters sane/useful beyond the search committee and one's potential future bosses? I'm told one note to the search committee is sufficient, but it seems to me more is necessary.

    I was initially intimidated by the prospect of interviewing him, but he's a kind and generous man, and super deep. Glad you had the opportunity to spend some time talking with him and thanks for posting!

    Wow, looks like a great lineup!

    Want but right now a bit tight. Still a great deal!

    Right, thanks for the reminder on Moers/Ring. I have some but not a ton of titles on that label. And yr right that early Hat Hut hasn't been mined too deeply - I honestly can't keep straight what they've reissued and what they haven't!

    What is the deal with the Grateful Dead not showing up in the wiki for "Dancing in the Street?"

    A lot of private press/micro-label stuff is not on CD. As for labels, very little if any of the following vinyl catalogs made it to CD: Kharma Palm/Vendémiaire Philly Jazz IACP Sun FMP Incus ALM Alan Bates/Fontana/Philips/Polydor/Intercord (excepting some Freedom titles on DA Music/Black Lion) Red Record Muza Poljazz Jazz Groove Revelation Amigo Calig-Verlag Bead Strata-East MPS Parachute Offbeat Wergo Jazz Also, India Navigation CD titles are surprisingly hard to come by and they left a lot out of their reissue program.

    That's $200 too much...

    So... commuting to Newark via train. About 90 minutes each way?

    Yeah, but it still happens sometimes, especially if the store owner is not that into jazz. I've told this story before, but a friend who knows I'm a Steve Lacy freak called me from a suburban Atlanta record store a couple of years ago, saying there was a Lacy LP with a green cover there. I was so sure that it was nothing special that it took me a week to visit the store. It turned out to be The Kiss on Lunatic, a rare one from Japan. Ten bucks, mint condition, beautifully recorded, and stunning music. I've had a few other finds like that in recent years, but I agree that they've become more infrequent. Great find. I still don't have that one. I'd be willing to pay at least $11!

    Dang...

    Flying to the Sky is decent Euro-style modal quartet fuzz. Nothing earth-shattering, Dudek is actually a little thinly-recorded, but it's an enjoyable set. Blue Lake is good - I'd pulled it the other day to see if it was a "keep" or "unload" but it's gonna stay. Now: Luc Ferrari - Interrupteur/Tautologos 3 - (EMI Electrola, GER) I got a "new" used Creek amp last weekend and have been testing it out with a variety of LPs. Sounds way better than my steadily frying Arcam.

    Well, after hemming and hawing for days on end, my presentation for Tuesday's interview is done being assembled. Now on to figuring out what kind of cookies to bake the search committee...

    Great record! That makes at least three of us here who have a copy - you, Larry K., and myself. Yeah, finally nabbed a sealed one on continued recommendations from you two. Excellent album. Now: Prince Lasha - Insight - (CBS UK, mono)

    We were facebook friends (think he left FB). I knew he was having some personal problems so he may be dealing with that. I wish him well.
  23. clifford_thornton
    Haha, that went well...

    Takehiro Honda & Gerd Dudek Quartet - Flying to the Sky - (Trio, JP)

    I am told that Noah Howard apparently thought of his ESP records as "juvenilia" but I have to say the quartet with Ric Colbeck, Scotty Holt and Dave Grant was pretty damn fine. ESP 1031 is an ESP-Disk' that I come back to often.
