Maybe it was a commercial for Sonic, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30F46wjSpZ8

Good to know, thanks. Yeah, me too. I think Acoustic Snakeoil is dead. And I'm still pushing for a recording of Decay, maybe on a revived Screwgun (?)

Definitely!

Seems like a portmanteau word. "Insa" meaning "lack of" or "not." Kind of a slangy way of saying her walk was not painful or sad to look at, that is, her walk was nice to watch.

The cake was delicious, he said, as he let out another notch on his belt. May pale though in comparison to those Mazurek meals you'e been having. Thanks again to all for the birthday greetings. I did have a lovely time.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to a large chocolate cake this evening. That's about the only good part of growing a year older. Actually, one of my daughters and I share this birthdate, she being born on my 30th birthday, so that has been a lot of fun over the years.

I'm just curious: if the replacement platter is substantially heavier than the original platter, couldn't that result in additional drag on the motor, especially at start-up, (from the additional weight), and perhaps even affect rotation speed slightly?

Another aspect of TOL: I'm told reliably that Parker considers this album the best example of his flutter-tonguing technique, which he no longer practices.

I have the psi CD, which has a couple of bonus tracks not on the original LP. I pre-ordered this vinyl as well, since I'm curious as to the sound quality of the vinyl, and I too would like to have it in its original appearance.

From Cafe OTO, a vinyl reissue of "The Topography of the Lungs" and 70th Birthday Concerts for Evan Parker: http://cafeoto.cmail1.com/t/ViewEmail/r/8C9686091B1521472540EF23F30FEDED/79793A4E78146288C68C6A341B5D209E

Thanks you for trying. It does seem to be an html problem. I haven't touched the page in ages and maybe that's part of the problem.

Thanks much for that information, which opens up some productive leads. I just saw LaDonna Smith a few weeks ago. She and Davey Williams are both from Alabama, so the magazine's location makes sense. Wikipedia says "Williams co-founded The Improviser, a journal of experimental music, in 1981. He has also worked as a music critic for theBirmingham News and published freelance criticism elsewhere." Would be interested in who else wrote for it, and some of the articles published. I wonder if it's still around.

Not the avatar, but some of the other settings and information, some of which are simply check-boxes. The changes can be made but are not saved, and the settings revert to what I had originally. Essentially just some of the basic info.

I came across an advertisement in a 1995 issue of Cadence magazine. The ad was for "The Improvisor" magazine, which billed itself as: "The most highly-respected and well-read journal celebrating and promoting the art of free improvisation!" A review called it a "networking reference point for fans and participants." Somewhat improbably perhaps, the magazine was based in Birmingham, Alabama. Anyway, I've never seen a copy, nor even heard of this magazine. Curious if anyone here has any knowledge of it, who published it, wrote for it, or edited it.

That would be nice. This is the notice I get when I try to save changes: Oops! Something went wrong! [#10218] One of the fields you filled in requires values in a specific format, but the value you supplied did not meet this format ('Website URL'). Need Help? Our help documentation Contact the community administrator I have no idea what that's all about.

Been trying to edit My Profile but the Save Changes actually does not allow me to make the changes I want to My Profile. It just reverts to the existing information. Can anybody explain how to successfully edit Profile information?

I listened to it last night. It's very sparse and introspective overall, going to take some concentrated listening... I preferred Koan to Oblique so that whets my appetite to hear it's sparse His concert drumming has been anything but sparse lately, seeming to follow an entirely different trajectory. But it was the sparse, minimalist music that Tyshawn mostly made himself known to the listening public. I would be most interested to see Tyshawn play piano in concert.

Picked up a copy while up in NYC, and have played this through twice; starts well and improves with each spin. An album with a coherent and cohesive aesthetic, beautifully performed, with Halvorson's incredible guitar playing and compositions. To me, it has a Giuffre-like feel to it, but also with that Braxtonish approach to small-group playing. I think it would be helpful to listen to this as if it was a suite; it has that kind of wholeness,

Icons need iconoclasts. The Mona Lisa, encased behind glass barriers, needs the mustache painter, to remind us that art is human. KOB needs MOPDTK to remind us that this is music made by people. MOPDTK has done KOB a favor. MOPDTK has drawn a tiny little mustache on KOB. Personally, I would have preferred that, like any bona-fide iconoclast, they took an axe to it, free-jazzed the hell out of it, put on a huge mustache and goatee, to remind us that change is inevitable, that nothing should be held immutable. And, btw, is that really the Mona Lisa in the Louvre? Or just a paint by number (almost note by note) reproduction?

Thanks all for your responses to my report. I had a blast, even if it takes me 3 days to recover. One thing you know going in on a Berne concert is you will get some intense music. Getting 6 sets is quite a nice opportunity, couldn't be passed up. My best guess is that Electric Snakeoil will be the next ECM recording. All indications are that will be a very cool recording. Adding the electric component really extends the band's range and depth. I would love to hear that the Decay band was getting recorded too; something special about that group. The in-concert Ice Station Zebra was a total blast, one of the most exciting 2 hours of music I've heard yet this year, but how that would translate to a recording is hard to ascertain. Maybe it wouldn't. That was pure improv, high-energy, state-of-the -moment music, as evanescent as it was intense. BTW, I had a chance to briefly meet Steve Byram, the artist-illustrator for the Screwgun albums, who was attending the Saturday night show. Always wanted to know who was behind those marvelous illustrations.
