There is an eBay seller named 78scott who is selling mint Mosaics with very low set #s. The item location for these sets is Rye, NY. See: https://www.ebay.com/sch/78scott/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

The problem is with Cecil’s insistence that what he plays is “jazz.” It isn’t. Call it what you will: art music, energy music, whatever. It clearly isn’t the same type of music as what Cranshaw, Roker, or even MLW played, and it’s silly to pretend otherwise. I think a large contributor to jazz’s demise in the late 60’s was with people associating jazz with out music, and thereby dismissing the whole genre, when they could have been listening to a lot more enjoyable music. Sorry to be reopening debates that have been around for a long time, but I think this has become even clearer with the passage of time.

Neidlinger produced Leo Kottke’s best post-Capitol album, “Regards From Chuck Pink.” It has an aural soundscape very different from any other Kottke album, and must be considered as a collaborative effort. Has anyone here heard this one? Curious if it’s just more of the same from Braxton, or whether Neidlinger turned it into something different: RIP.

PM sent.

Would love to know more about his beginnings. Was he part of a group around Jack Wilson in LA? And how did they intersect with the Horace Tapscott group? And how did the Jazz Crusaders fit into all this?

Caveat emptor. IIRC (I’m away from my collection right now), one of these albums has a skip, which they dubbed from the vinyl onto the CD.

I recently found a used copy of this at Dusty Groove for a very decent price. Two discs of a very tasty live session with Turrentine. Keep an eye out for it:

I have a different perspective, since I worked at J&R (a competitor, though we came first in NYC) for many years. Tower’s prices were much higher than ours. I also thought our selection was better, and our cutout selection was much better. The one area they excelled in was Japanese imports, because they could bring in stock from their Japan operation.

Great idea for a topic. Although I’m away from my collection right now, off the top of my head: 1) Sonny Clark. Perhaps the greatest contributor to the BN style. 2) Billy Higgins. He did his greatest work for BN. 3) Donald Byrd. Great contributions as a sideman, for Mobley and others.

My two cents: we bought an Asus 2-in-1 (tablet/Windows laptop) for my son, and the screen got cracked. We had a Square Trade warranty. They replaced the screen but did a really unartful job - it looked like they shaved off the edges of the old screen in order to remove it, so you still see the shaved edges. Worse, the installation wasn’t done well: the screen is now upside-down when docked, so it still works as a tablet but not so much as a laptop. The thing to remember is that Square Trade technicians are not the original manufacturer’s techs - they’re just some third party. You have no way of knowing in advance the expertise of your technician - there’s no word-of-mouth that you can rely on. And I imagine their business model is such that they will replace your unit only as an absolute last resort.

Fascinating stuff. Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy 2? In the beginning, there's a scene with Jeff Bridges as a 20-something, probably using this technology, and it looks so real. But what the article's describing is just the next step after Photoshopping (which, in and of itself, should make you question any photograph you see). We just have to continue questioning everything and being skeptical. Anyway, I still think Hollywood's end game is to make computer-generated animation look so real that they'll eventually replace actors.

I will try to attend this. Burton Greene played on her first album!

It’s especially ironic considering the current crop of radicals owe their existence to being able to talk on college campuses in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. As a provocateur, Milo has nothing on Abbie Hoffman. But now that the radicals are in power, they gleefully jettison the First Amendment. Power for me but not for thee, y’see.

Seems to me the writer (and you) are trying to smear Hoff Summers by association. Surely you'll concede that she has the right to speak, unmolested, when invited on college campuses?

I remember that UA pressings were pretty noisy, so try to hear it before you buy. The RVG CDs sound great. Don't forget this relatively recent 10" LP for additional alternates: One more item to consider. This is a more recent release than the RVGs, with masterings instead by Bernie Grundman. There's some discussion in the Amazon reviews about the tonal differences between this and the RVGs. And just to complicate your buying decision further, there is also a Blu-Ray version.

Kelly and Konitz riffing on 317 E. 32. Not too shabby:

204 Intuition titles - Jon Hassell, Oregon, Dave Liebmann, Miroslav Virtuos, Martial Solal, Enrico Pieranunzi, Don Cherry, Fred Frith, Dave Holland, Joey Baron, Denny Zeitlin...

It's newspeak. You remember 1984.

Have you heard any samples? Those Documents boxes, in my experience, tend to be heavily no-noised.

Yeppers. So watch out for people who say "Well, I think it's OK, but some other people might object to your saying X." First, let's wait until some real live in-the-flesh people actually complain. Then, let's protect our first amendment rights and laugh them out of here.

43 Capri titles - Scott Hamilton, Walt Weiskopf, Charles McPherson, Joshua Breakstone, Jeff Hamilton, and THIS:
