I'm all for getting baked and listening to cassettes. Bring it on!

I really hate flipping through the "F" section of jazz LPs and finding his discs stuffed in between Fourmenonly and Don Friedman...

I myself do not understand why he's not doing CD's of them. I have OG copies but will report on sonic differences if anyone cares...

Original creosote pressing ? (or whatever they used - acetate?) Polystyrene Yup. Got $1000 from a Japanese dealer and was happy to see it go. So, Transition's originals are a truly 'awful sounding' collector's items. Definitely not my stuff. My Transitions are all Japanese. I did borrow a copy of the Cecil from a friend once just to try out an OG and it was clicky but not any worse than your average budget pressing.

Mal Waldron - Left Alone - (Bethlehem, CBS Japan issue)

I've got that ten minute interview track from one of the Impulse Japanese vinyl boxes, Second Night in Tokyo. Used to put myself to sleep listening to him talk. Thanks for the tip.

These are vinyl-only, but great sessions!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to pick this up.

Yep.

Oh shit, didn't know that. Thanks.

I mean, I have a number of small-edition/artist-released CD-Rs that I have paid for and that is an entirely different thing. On the used market, some of those are kind of expensive, like the Kawabata Makoto stuff... but BN on-demand? I agree that just having these as downloads and dropping them on eMusic or something makes the most sense.

I noticed that too and it is idiotic, or seems so. As for muddying the market, well, the music industry is in the shitter already. What more can it possibly do? As a vinyl head, I never thought I'd hear myself saying it, but I'm going to miss CD's.

They were produced by Clifford Jordan for Strata-East. Two of his dates, the Brackeen, the Pharoah, and the Payne - that's all I know of. Nice stuff!

Oh yeah, the Motian is very good but even better shit exists live, with Brackeen BLOWING on tenor.

That Byard isn't that cool, IIRC. Better records in his discography for sure. Izenzon also played some nice stuff with Bill Dixon on "Winter Song" (from the Savoy 7-tette LP). Though Bill said he (Izenzon) wasn't really that comfortable with the music at first and had trouble playing "freely" if you can believe it.

Anthony Braxton - Donna Lee - (America orig)

And all their good stuff goes straight to eBay. Not that too many people in LA are looking for an obscure Argentine Paul Gonsalves LP...

Clearly, copies of this must be floating in the gutters in Burbank...

Steve Lacy - Clinkers - (Hat Hut)

Would love to hear all those tapes he and Perry Robinson made.

Kalaparusha - Peace and Blessings - (Black Saint)

Thanks guys - had the afternoon off and what did I do but run errands... and thanks for the personal touch blind-blake, I did get it but spent half the morning tweaking my "new" computer at work. Fun times... CA
