  1. Just had a look at the Q & A on Pat's site-he states his intention of getting together with Ornette and going through the tapes(this was Dec 03)for a special release-also that the sessions were filmed too!Fingers crossed then for a double CD with DVD too :party:

  2. He signed with Nonesuch.

    from Pat's web site:

    In addition to presenting Metheny’s new music, the entire Metheny catalog from 1985 through the present will gradually become available on Nonesuch. “This all coincides with the return of the Geffen catalog of recordings (1986’s “Song X” through 1996’s “Quartet”) to our control. That means that we can look at each record on a case by case basis and figure out what to do with them. Some may benefit from remastering, some may find additional material being added.”

    The first recording from Metheny Group Productions on Nonesuch will be a new Pat Metheny Group record on January 11th, 2005.

    Great news,I hope PM keeps his word...and reissues them in order of release.As for the rest of the catalogue,there's no rush ;)

    Anyone have any Ornette news?I see from the Harmoldic site that there's a live set from 69 coming out,label unspecified.

  3. Just noticed this is listed as forthcoming on Amazon but no date set. Does anyone know if this a straight reissue or will we get the rest of the session,which Metheny once said was far more "out" and he'd like to see released too.

  4. Garbarek also played with Brahem on Madar(ECM 1515)along with Shaukat Hussain again-if Ragas does it for you then you should like this one too...then of course there's the two sets he did with Shankar from the 80's-Vision and Song For Everyone(Don Cherry did some gigs with J.G. and Shankar but sadly didn't record)and the sublime "Making Music" by Zakir Hussain with Mclaughlin and Hariprasad Chaurasia.He also played on a couple of tracks on Trilok Gurtu's "Living Magic"

  5. B00000IFW7.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg This is nice,from 99.Carter plays baritone and bass clarinet on 4 tracks-and the rest of the band are based around Ron Miles' group of the time.As far as I know he's released nothing since...too busy playing polo possibly.

    As for Bruce,he played a gig nearby last year under the heading of Legends of Rock with the "legendary" Glenn Hughes,Michael Schenker,Ulrich Roth and some others,so legendary they have passed into myth!I stayed well away

  6. Can't say I'd get worked up about this-what "reunions" have delivered the goods after a long lay off?

    I'd rather Ginger make a follow up to the excellent "Coward Of The County",if he can get off the polo pitch!

  7. Way back I remember reading about the Dead and thinking "This band is for me",but...when I got the audio I was left pretty underwhelmed,caught some live stuff on TV(not the greatest medium for concerts I must admit),still nothing.Since then I've tried again and well,OK,but they just don't click with me big time.Maybe this is influenced by the knowledge that I'd need to remortgage the house if I got it bad,or maybe I ain't taking the right drugs!

    At the risk of offending Deadheads further I do like David Murray's "Dark Star" tribute set

  8. I seem to recall Cosey replacing Bill Frisell in the Power Tools trio with Melvin Gibbs and Ronald Shannon Jackson back in the late 80's.Must have been a blast live tho to the best of my knowledge they never recorded.Anybody know what RSJ is doing these days?

  9. Honest Jon's was my fave in the capital during the 80's,Mole was pretty underwhelming after it's last move,not surprised it's had to move again-must check out what Ray's is like in its new home when I can afford a trip to the big city.Shame tho' that London can't sustain a dedicated jazz store.
