J.A.W. Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) As far as I know some of these have been available for some time. I picked up Deals, Ideas and Ideals and Come Sunday months ago (they're on my sale list, by the way ) Edited November 30, 2004 by J.A.W.

John B Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I have only heard Come Sunday, but really, really like it. I would highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hopscotch seems to be reissuing these. They also list these titles: COOPER-MOORE & ASSIF TSAHAR - TELLS UNTOLD [hopscotch] £11.99 *cooper-moore: harp, ashimba, drums, flute, deedly-bo, mouth-bow, twiner, shofar, synth & the bell *assif tsahar: tenor sax, bass clarinet, acoustic guitar, muzmar & thumb piano COOPER-MOORE & ASSIF TSAHAR - AMERICA [hopscotch] £11.99 *cooper-moore: piano, diddly-bo, banjo, mouth-bow, drum-skins & cymbal *assif tsahar: tenor sax, bass clarinet, classical guitar - rec. 2003 COOPER-MOORE, TOM ABBS & CHAD TAYLOR - TRIPTYCH MYTH [hopscotch] £11.99 *cooper-moore: piano *tom abbs: bass *chad taylor: drums - rec. 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Cooper-Moore's solo piano album on Hopscotch, Deep in the Neighborhood... , is fantastic. I would highly recommend that one, if it is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) I see that hopscotch have a website. The listing I got seems to reflect the fact that Sound 323 have just taken a delivery. I hadn't heard of this label, and I had never heard Tsahar, which is why these leapt out at me. I am listening to the clips - I'm not overwhelmed yet... Edited November 30, 2004 by David Ayers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Also, emusic has Hopscotch titles available now. That would be another relatively inexpensive way to sample these. Tsahar doesn't get a lot of love around here. His work is a real mixed bag, imo, but the sessions that work really work for me. The ones that don't click are pretty abyssmal.

brownie Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I like Assif Tsahar! A provocative musician who sometimes fall flat on his face but he is trying! And when he gets going, there's a lot to enjoy from him. Of those Hopscotch records, I have the Live at the Juan Miro Foundation set with Peter Kowald and Sonny Murray which was my introduction to Tsahar and 'Deals, Ideas and Ideals' with Kowald and Rashied Ali. Things fall very much into their place on that one! And Tsahar knows how to pick his drummers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
