Quite a good essay about Lacy by Stuart Broomer in the current Point of Departure: http://www.pointofdeparture.org/PoD49/PoD49Ezz-thetics.html

You're totally a more charming conversationalist than I am . Besides I couldn't find a number (I know you found one once so I looked about didn't come up with it). I'll keep it in mind though.

Now shipping: http://www.aerophonicrecords.com Also to me. I listened to the long clip on the web site. It sounds much more like a Nate Wooley album than a Dave Rempis album. That might have been a good thing in any event, except that Wooley nowadays often seems to fall into mannerism. And am I playing solo here when I state that, both live and on record, Corsano's drumming has fallen way off. Yay, verily, even to being called boring. At the Parker Residency he was as exciting as a metronome. Daisy would have been a decided plus. Well, I hope the other tracks contain more Rempis than Nate W.

Yep, now I see the 12:00PM deadline in the fine print. That's still at variance with their own statement "Now Through 12/08 2014." The common meaning of which is to the end of that day. Of course, I never heard from them either. In a way I'm rather glad as I'm no longer sure I wanted the item .

Looks like the sort of stuff that clogs the 25 cents record bin at the local Goodwill.

Is it worth trying to order something form CD Japan when it says "Ships in 3-5 days"? My take on it is if it doesn't say "In stock," it's probably not worth ordering. Or have others had different experience in this regard?

My first thought with the split CDs is that this will produce more revenue, because consumers will have to buy both. Figure $19.99 x 2=$39.98, versus something like $24.95 or even $29.95 for a double. If this is the price one has to pay to get Willisau or Santa Cruz, it's worth it, and still cheaper than current market. I can't see any other reason for it.

Here's a situation that strikes me as fairly typical of Import CD. I've been receiving 10% off coupons from them via email for the last couple of weeks. I decided to order a fairly pricey box set (typically, they already had a good price on it); the 10% off would therefore be significant. The coupon I had, received Sunday, stated it would be good THROUGH December 8th. I go to checkout, and up pops a notice that the coupon is no longer valid! "Error, Not Applied: "SAVE10" - SAVE10 is no longer active." "Through" December 8th should at least take me to midnight EDT. Nope. Tried various things but I wasn't going to get that 10%. I sent them an email; no response of course. So no discount and no order and no box set. This all seems so Import CD, from the good prices, to the ordering snafu, to the lack of help, to giving up in frustration.

I "borrowed" this from the Steeplechase new releases thread.

This one could be interesting.

It sometimes can work. Matt Mitchell in Snakeoil turned it to good effect in the same venue. Lucian is a different of player than Matt and the group has a different sound than Snakeoil (of course). When Lucian was just filling in, it wasn't bad, but any type of extended solo didn't really work for me. The cheesiness of the Fender starts to intrude. I thought Ballou was more harmful to the group than the Fender. Nevertheless, i wouldn't call it a bummer, there were plenty of good moments, and I always want to hear great players working in new or different circumstances. It eventually but always pays dividends.
