I'd be curious to hear that outfit for sure! A friend of mine went to the gig but haven't heard the report. Good to know Muhammad is still playing!

Yeah, it looks real nice. I suspect the Griff Blowing Session up there now will be doing some damage as well... it's already at about $900!

I have the individual Shandars and they've always sounded very nice to me. Volume 1 is 10.011 (same catalog number as the box). Volume 2 is 83.508 Volume 3 is 83.509 They switched to the 83.000 series midway through the label's career, and renumbered some titles, but I've never seen 10.000 numbers on the second two Cecils. All this is to say that I too always assumed the box came first, but I guessed wrong.

RIP to an interesting figure. I'll be spinning the Heckman-Summerlin LP in his honor.

I think we all know the answer to that one-- VG++++!

I think there are a number of people doing it, but DMG by selling them in a store seems more dubious than just random weird dudes. As far as I can tell, it's either Manny or Bruce's records that are being used for the ones they're selling there. I also think that if you're going to burn/rip shit, it should be a trade circuit. But what are you gonna do? I'm diggin' Le Temps Fou, so I'm not saying I'm not partly guilty for owning something ripped for profit (sounds good, too).

They should've done Space Dimension along with the Wright. Too bad the pressing on that Howard America is dogshit. I've always wondered if Noah split because he wanted to do "tunes" and Wright didn't...

Who?

They've been leaving off the liner notes on a bunch of the UMS titles lately. If it's "Unheard," then give people some context already! There is a lot of the Thurston list that has yet to see the proper light of day - the Colbeck, for example, really needs to be on CD. It's one of the best jazz records in existence...

Well, the French Columbia CD set isn't even OOP, last I checked... Plus, he's ripping shit off left and right. It stinks. I support trading burns and stuff like that, but selling them in a shop? C'mon...

That may be true and would be interesting if it's the case. I was referring to something totally different, however - a shopowner who burns his LPs and sells them at $15-$20 a pop. Including the album in question.

It's great; I have it on a Japanese LP pressing. I think the DMG CD-R business is a crock of shit, and I really want to get all "chewy" on their asses.

Anyone pick up that Dizzy Reece Futura reissue? I think it's out now. Taylor is a motherfucker on that one - Gilmore, Kessler, Caratini...

Agreed. Though the Ak-Ba sessions are on CD, you never see them in the States.

Wow, jumps eh? That's pretty wasted... The only French dealers I buy from are La Dame Blanche and Paris Jazz Corner.

Taken out of context, that's pretty funny...

I think the term "skip" means different things to different people. Daniel, do you mean "repeating tics" or "stuck in the groove?" The first sounds reasonable for a Euro-graded ebay VG+.

Wasn't there a 3 Sounds LP, #1600?

Many dogs are lactose intolerant and cannot eat ice cream, the companies said. Missing the point entirely, it seems...

He MUST be making a mistake... unless he caught the GEMM bug!

Just get Chuck, Clem, youmustbe and chewy in there and see how long the newbies last!

I'd agree on disc 2 of the Collier, but disc 1 blows my mind... I've been pretty impressed with Cuneiform. They have an aesthetic and stick to it, and I can't say I haven't learned a lot from their liner writers, in addition to the music they've put out. Now, if they could just do a BOB live box set... I generally like UMS too, though "unheard" is often pretty debatable - some of those aren't in the least bit rare, though I suppose they weren't on CD before. I'm wracking my brain trying to think of a reissue in Cuneiform's catalog comparable to the circle-jerk that is Starship Beer, however... Corbs will never be able to live that one down, as much as I like the guy.

Lived there for three years. Now I'm down here for grad school. So, I'm at the opposite of Nord!

V-mark's Free Jazz Classics sessions are great, and he can play the shit out of some Newk, Shepp, Kirk, Bley (&c.) tunes... but I bet a lot of people wouldn't agree. The Americas are both great, and I agree on the short songs. They're very focused, and A.T. plays his ass off!
