I don't have this one, but I've always thought it looked interesting. The others I do have I enjoy and wouldn't get rid of.

FDO from work (forced day off - i.e., required recessionary time off), now spinning: David S Ware - Live in Vilnius - (No Business) and applying for new gigs...

Indeed, he had a very good run. RIP Merce. Article here.

I mean, whatever anyone says about him negatively - I mean he is an asshole - but the man lives to race bicycles. Clearly he's something else.

TTK, Trunk does ship to the US. I spun some Enoch Light today and thought of you. It was good!

How is that LP? Can you post a link to where I can buy this in the US, assuming there are any left? You can't. Direct from Trunk only.

Yeah - Can be ordered via the trunk site. From what I'm hearing it's selling pretty fast, so few copies are likely to hit the shops. Wish I could hear it at 45rpm though ! Yeah, none are being allowed to the US distributor for Trunk, because I tried to order it through a shop here.

I'm like the only one here who digs A.T.

Cool, so it's out?

they played phoenix last night, i wanted to open or at least go but i did not get to do either, which made me sad. how's the record? It's a cool LP. They've got another one coming out soon on De Stijl, as does Jakob with a new solo LP. His solo set was awesome, of course.

Can't top that... Lunchtime spin: Crown Hate Ruin - Until the Eagle Grins - (Dischord)

Yeah, Alan gets some nice dead stock in on occasion - I've got a few sealed rarities from the Jazz Loft as well as some nice in-print but hard to find titles.

As for later/partially Afro-Cuban stuff, I really like the HARYOU Percussion Group record on ESP.

My friend and I were just talking about that set the other day.

I have to say, Greg, that this was a really fun review to write. Normally my tendency as a reviewer is toward avant-garde jazz and so forth. This was one CD that my girlfriend was probably glad I was writing up, for her ears' sake.

Must not post much! Probably a good thing for his own sanity!

Welcome. There are a few threads dealing with this subject already. Here's one: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...mp;hl=Blue+Note

Cramming in some sides before work, eh?

Also: Arnie Cheatham's Thing, reissued on Porter. And one that should be reissued: Leo Jones - Fire Engine & Crossover - (Mirrosonic)

Groundhogs - Blues Obituary - (Imperial)

I picked up a copy of James Spaulding's Brilliant Corners CD on Muse recently. Carter's in fine form here, with Marcus Miller & Kenny Washington also in the rhythm section. Miller's kind of florid for my taste normally, but he's not too distracting here and it's a pretty fiery date.

I'm going to vote against brown as much as I dig the design. Black is slimming, and brown ain't the new black as far as I can see.

Lunchtime spin: Sus & Jakob - The Last Vocalions - (no label) Communal hippie racket from Sweden. Nice!

Thursday night ECFA are playing at Beerland in Austin, of all places. Local free-bop quartet, this time using the rhythm section of Aaron and Stefan Gonzalez. It should be fun. And cheap!
