Diebenkorn/Matisse at SFMOMA. Go see it if you're in the Bay Area. A real eye-opener, but important to get the audio tour to fully understand the relationship.

But probably not going to be issued again on CD any time soon.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up.

Some great music, for sure. Not to mention that most of it will be very difficult to find now that it's OOP.

you got THAT right, AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

Oh, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not AGAIN! Have a great one, FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Tortoise is coming here (SF) in April, too. I'll probably go.

I was going to mention that JoeHen set, too. I got it several years ago REAL cheap - I think it was being remaindered at the time. Excellent stuff!

I might be seeing Grandaddy next week. Sounds interesting.

Off topic, but how IS Turing Machine? They used to have a great drummer named Jerry Fuchs who I was familiar with from another band, Maserati. He died a few years ago in a freak accident, unfortunately.

The Complete Mercury Max Roach Plus Four Sessions - first 3 disks.

I saw his band a few years ago. They weren't bad, but not that interesting, either.

As far as I can tell, it's one site now and it works like this: Wolfgang's Vault is now "Wolfgang's" that handles memorabilia and 'stuff', and Concert Vault is now "AMP'd" which handles the concert audio. They're both included in one subscription of $40/year. Considering the amount of historic music available, that seems like a good deal to me. On the other hand, I think that price is for streaming only - downloads cost an additional $5 each.

Interesting. I didn't know about the site update, either. Totally different! Going to have to see what's going on, for sure.

I remember that the Threadgill box was back ordered for about a year (or more), but it DID become available again. Glad I got a copy!

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know he was still alive. RIP, Mr. Parlan!

"Offering" is one of my favorites! I saw him 5 times in the early 70s - I think all were with 11th House. Nice obit in the WaPo. Says he died of "complications from arteriosclerosis": Larry Coryell, dazzling guitarist who brought rock energy to jazz, dies at 73

I just sent a question about personnel and date to Todd Barkan on FB. Will let you know if he responds.

I was just listening to a Vanguard collection recently. He had such a varied career, and was always in command. RIP, Larry.

Solo piano?

Anyone know the Kraken Quartet?

Last night I saw the Scott Amendola Band w/ Nels Cline, Jeff Parker, Jenny Scheinman and John Schifflet at SFJAZZ's Joe Henderson Lab. Really interesting show that ranged from Tony Williams Lifetime intensity to reflective scored pieces - all in about an hour. Good contributions from all the musicians, too. Nice to see a group like this in such a small venue, too.

There are a LOT of interesting artists at that festival. It's definitely on my radar ... maybe next year.

Which is good. Not THAT big of an Eleventh House fan.
