Btw, any thoughts on the remastering of the Impressed-Repressed series? I thought the D'Silva and Taylor both a little "boomy." Is the Ardley like this also?

Anyone heard the Steven Horenstien?

Wow. RIP.

Hey - anybody heard this? Dick Van Der Capellen (b) Trio - The Present is Past - Relax w/ Martin van Duynhoven (d), Chris Hinze (fl, pno) and Theo Loevendie (bcl - one track only) Dick vdc is a great bass player and Duynhoven and Loevendie usually get my juices going, but is Hinze someone that should best be ignored, even at an early stage? Thanks.

I like the Trio Hurricane - Suite of Winds disc. Of course, any Bill Dixon will be stupendous, but really who wants to listen to that on their computer?

Tomlin cinches that one for me - lopes along nicely but in a disjointed, just-shy-of-pulling-apart way. I like it. Now, the trio date seems content to stay in depths which the rest of the band - particularly Tomlin - seemed able to pull the music out of. To me, that tension keeps it together.

Got that one as soon as it was out, actually. Listened to Trio in my car on the way home for lunch, and it's not as immediately striking as Pendulum was/is. Guess I built it up a hell of a lot!

Sahib Shihab - Seeds - (Rearward 180 g reissue) Fantastic!

That thing really turned my ear on end, and I'm not sure in the most positive way. But hey, somebody's gotta do these sorts of things, right... ? Never liked Zappa at all. But that's just me. Obviously they, and Jimmy, were doing SOMETHING even if it wasn't my shit.

Just got the Trio from Alan - haven't spun it yet but the shipping was fast and the disc/booklet are in nice shape (jewel box a little aged). Can't wait to give this a listen! Watch a Japanese paper sleeve edition come out in a month! Clunky, how are you liking that Lacy on Quark? Tried to get that one but he'd sent it off to you!

RIP. He will be missed in certain very broad circles.

I had read in an early discography of Ornette that recordings were done in 1949 for Imperial with Samuels, but no, I can't confirm their existence beyond what my eyes told me.

The ESP and the first one, on Mercury, are both excellent.

Still issued as in print on the Rearward site.

RIP. Somebody told me that she made a psych record with Les Baxter. I am afraid... but curious.

This sounds great - can't wait. Not sure if this is appropriate for the thread, but has anybody heard the Clarence Samuels disc supposedly with Ornette that was waxed for Imperial in 1949?

Right on, looking forward to all of these!

Sad news - we can pray (or whatever you want) for his recovery.

It drives me nuts and sometimes it takes me a couple of months to make a final decision. FWIW, I have been working on titles by Charles Tyler, Wadada, Lester Bowie, Bobby Bradford and Roscoe. Not often easy choices. Would the Bradford potentially include both volumes in one set? I have one but not the other on LP.

I avoid the boards like the plague but have been able to get some things across writing reviews there. And there are some very good people on staff there, believe it or not.

Me too. Now: London is the Place for Me 4 - African Dreams and the Piccadilly High Life - (Honest Jon's)

Schlippenbach Quartett - Das Hohe Lied - (Po Torch) w/ Alan Silva on bass.

Globe Unity Orchestra - Pearls - (FMP)

Weasel Walter/Peter Evans Quartet - Oculus ex Abyssus - (UGExplode)
