Happy happy!

Oh, OK. I thought you were referring to some services (Soundcloud?) where you could post music and send links to people. One problem with services such as Spotify is your friends need to be on it too. Also, picking from their library, rather than from your own, seems a little too easy, not as personable (at least to me).

Interesting. Can you name one or two subscription services? Do they cost $?

Times have definitely changed. I can't make mix "tape" discs for friends anymore, because none of them have anything to play them on (including laptops). As for selling CDs, I figure I've bought them only for my pleasure, so never went into it thinking about resale value. Not sure what the "value" to a particular disc is anyway, if a listener can hear it on a streaming service. We actually have it better than film buffs - I can stream my music all over my house from iTunes on my computer, but studios don't even allow DVDs to be ripped to a home server. (Studios definitely need to make that accommodation, if they want to stanch the loss of DVD sales.) I have an old iPod in my car, connected via USB. I load 20 GB of music on it, random, and love it; every couple of months, I change the music mix. My Subaru has a CD player, but I never use it. It also has SiriusXM; I find myself mostly listening to Little Steven's Underground Garage and Fox News. If you've concluded your CDs have little-to-no resale value, why not give them away here? Not to some public library where people won't appreciate them, but offer them as "Pay It Forward" here, or trade them for other CDs. Might be a lot more satisfying to know they'll have a good new home.

More interesting music vs. less interesting music.

I would like them (Braxton, Corea, Holland, Altschul) to book the Maison de l'O.R.T.F., Paris, France (assuming this still exists...I couldn't tell from this Wikipedia page) for February 21, 2021, which would be 50 years from the Paris-Concert album date. I'd like them to kick off the concert with Nefertiti, and play some of the compositions they played then (Lookout Farm, There Is No Greater Love), along with whatever strikes their fancies now. It would be fascinating to A-B the performances, comparing then and now. Do age and experience win out over youth and enthusiasm, or not?

Are Trunk’s releases licensed?

Happy birthday!

No, I think they were called A.R.C.

Sam Rivers did it:

The label is Culture Factory (?).

But L. Ron Hubbard still puts out 3 albums a year!

Up. I never got the Dookie Coleman box, can't wait for it to be reissued.

Thanks for bumping this thread. In the past year, I found a used copy of Tokyo Concert, but I know there's a lot more out there. Interesting Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Coates_Jr. and an appreciation here: https://jazzpromoservices.com/jazz-news/local-jazz-pianist-john-coates-jr-dies-at-79-news-the-times-tribune/

Can we get Circle back together? Braxton, Corea, Holland and Altschul are all still alive. Can Corea still play "out"? Do these guys even talk? I mean, Cream could reform, why not Circle??? (Yes, I understand that the participants on this board have no real power to effect this reunion; it's a mode of speech.)

Reissue date October 18:

And Mosaic is limiting their upcoming releases to 2,000 - 3,000. Just a reflection of the market. I also noticed that with BGO new reissues - you'd better advance-order them.

Do those tapes still even exist? If they were in Horizon/A&M’s possession, wouldn’t they have gone into Universal’s possession, and then there was that fire...

Kenny Clarke!

Wow. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

How much is previously unreleased?
