Thanks, folks! I think Forced Exposure should be distributing it in the US, along with other RogueArt titles.

Not sure if this is worth doing or not, but as the general organissimo website is down/nonexistent, might it make more sense to just set it up with an automatic redirect to the forums?

I would imagine "Reptet Slept Here" would've helped you get top dollar for your house!

Agree, Reptet are/were excellent. Not sure if they're still around.

Paul Flaherty Robert Ryman (painter) started out as a saxophonist & studied with Lennie Tristano

yeah, the America pressing is what I have as well. Fantastic album.

John Lurie Damon Smith Vinny Golia

It'll definitely be available for sale at the Vision Festival. I'll be there!

Excited to receive this -- much more music than what seemed to be circulating before.

I don't know Bernard. Itinerant session cat, perhaps? Hard to say.

Folke Rabe in the trombone section -- nice!

Interesting. I too like those covers.

You're right, d'oh! Wires crossed there. RogueArt doesn't do preorders I don't think.

I love Skidmore -- have a number of his LPs, and it looks like this set covers primarily or completely unissued music, yes?

Oh yeah, that was a great concert at the Lace Mill. I've been kinda keeping it under wraps for a bit -- surprises are fun!

Thanks, all!

FWIW it's not up on the label website yet, but it will be in the coming weeks. I'm told it is being printed right now.

Hmm, that is one I don't have. Thanks for the tip. Just checked this box -- need it.

Thanks, all! Matt is 62 so he's quite the statesman at this point.

Thanks! Good question. Shipp and I talk extensively about the idea of a singularity and the way in which the universe, God, and language are manifested through improvised music, and this thread flows throughout the book as a narrative link. Also, a codex is any bound volume, and in the title I am also referencing art historian Jon Hendricks' exhaustive and wonderful book Fluxus Codex.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Singularity Codex – Matthew Shipp on RogueArt is slated to be released in early summer. This is my first book, and it's been a long time coming. Over the course of 200 pages Singularity Codex presents the work of Shipp and his numerous collaborators within the broader jazz and free music continuum, and covers in detail the pianist's 25 current and forthcoming albums for RogueArt (and one book with poet Steve Dalachinsky). Neither a strict biography nor a discography, this volume includes numerous interviews, photographs, and aesthetic meditations that frame the music, its connections, and surrounding philosophy and history. Whether or not you are familiar with Shipp and his work, this book is a fascinating read. Singularity Codex will be available directly from RogueArt as well as through your favorite book/record store. Librarians and educators should get in touch if they want to have a copy of this or other RogueArt publications on their shelves. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you think might be interested. In everlasting appreciation to Shipp and publisher/producer Michel Dorbon for gently guiding this unique book to publication. I can't wait for you to read it.

Yeah, saw that as well -- too bad. But a full life! RIP.

wow. I'd heard audio from this concert but at the time wasn't sure if it was "really" Cowell on piano. Sure enough!

did the same.
