I wouldn't count on it. They'll probably have another release next year on SACD. How else will they get you to buy it a fifth time?

I have a small batch of CDs from various labels for sale at bargain prices. All are new and sealed. To spare the site's bandwidth, the list is on the web at: jazzmatazz.home.att.net/sponsors/salelist_additions.html#48. (Or should I list it here?) Musicians include Duke Ellington, Charlie Barnett, Count Basie, Sidney Bechet, Barney Bigard, Will Bradley, Cab Calloway, Benny Carter, Dorserys, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, Woody Herman, Billie Holiday, Claude Hopkins, Stan Kentin, Jimmy Lunceford, Boyd Raeburn, Claud Thornhill & Lester Young. A full list of sale CDs is at: salelist.jazzmatazz.info.

Let us know how you like it.

The classical label? Is this their first Jazz release? I think so. But I think this was a commissioned composition, so I suppose it counts as a classical piece...

OK, that makes sense. By the way, Bridge Records is due to release the Cecil & Mat Maneri recording later this month!

Why were they required to do a tribute? I've seen the quintet twice in Philly & they gave great shows both times.

LaPorta also recorded with Charles Mingus from 1954-55 & in 1960 and recorded albums as a leader for Debut and Fantasy in the mid-1950s.

Never seat two music critics together. I'm glad I was seated further back for that one...

So I need to order before the first of Julie? It all depends on how many set Julie orders.

I've had a 521BEE for a few months and have been quite happy with it.

Hey, I think Pat Patrick deserves to be bolded as well!

The book also doubles as a snare drum.

What groups do you recommend?

I had that problem earlier this morning, but it appears to be fixed now. (You'll have to log in again.) The upgrade/migration must not have been finished.

Aww... Very cute!!

Hmm, I wonder why more women don't participate on jazz forums?

I thought it was 334?

I saw them in concert about three weeks ago... and? ...and Koch-Schütz-Studer gave an excellent concert. It was in a West Philadelphia non-profit art gallery that's been hosting a couple jazz concerts a month. It was pretty much a full house for the gallery, which is about maybe 50-70. The playing ranged from very free, to occassionally melodic, with a bit of metal thrown in. Martin Schutz was all over the place -- playing the cello with a stick through the strings. He alternated acoustic and electric cello and did some electronic manipulation. He got a laugh when he threw some objects off his table to musical effect. The drummer, Studer, did some playing with what looked like a metal wire (as well as more usual mallets and sticks). Koch was into sound manipulation, usually playing a single note through his sax which he altered tonally both acoustically and electronically. He seemed to enjoy making noise with a semi-spherical control attached to his laptop. I bought two of their CDs at the show -- the Egyption one mentioned below (which I haven't heard yet) and "Harcore chamber music" which was the only trio record they offered that didn't have guest musicians. It's a good representation of their music. It was a very nice show, which the crowd enjoyed as well. I did some sketching during the show. Sometime later I might scan a fairly abstract drawing I did of Schutz.

My guess is that they're having problems with one of their back end servers. Maybe the server's bouncing - the problem seems to come and go.

And what do you reckon? I've heard very mixed opinions about this one. IIRC, the first disc is superb; the second disc is not as good as the first.

Congrats!

Nice. Very nice.

Was someone talking about me?
