The 'Postcards' record label

[Head Man]

I've recently been playing the four CDs I have on the Postcards label:

Bruce Ditmas - What if

Steve Kuhn - Seasons of romance

Reggie Workman - Cerebral Caverns & Summit Conference

and was reminded of how good they were.

So I thought I'd see what else was available on the same label and was surprised that I couldn't seem to find any information about the label on the web.

I then looked on Amazon and found about a dozen releases still available but most of them have fairly lukewarm reviews on AMG (no surprise there!)

So, two questions:

1. Does anyone have a link to a discography for the label?

and

2. Can anyone recommend any of the releases?

I've been meaning to pick up Summit Conference for a while... is Cerebral Caverns equally good?

Et voila, Guy!

I once owned the Priester/Rivers CD. It sounds like a "can't miss", but sadly it does and pretty badly. The problem (IIRC) was the use of some sort of eletronics - not electronic instruments - that really detracted from the music. In this case, the AMG review (which I just read) is pretty accurate.

The Chip White is a keeper. The Land is a strings date and is OK, but I am not a big "with strings" fan - some might be more impressed.

I've had "Summit Conference" for a while. I haven't listened to it as much as I should, but it's a solid session, that's for sure.

Can't go wrong with Reggie Workman, Andrew Hill, Sam Rivers, Julian Priester and Pheeroan Aklaff.

I like the Rivers/Priester myself. They use the electronics in an organic fashion, I think.
