has anyone here heard Leroy Jenkins' Space Minds/New Worlds/Survival America

It is a pretty nice album, and I especially enjoy the song 'Through the Ages Jehovah', with it's subtle intereaction between Jenkins and George Lewis on trombone.

I got it last year as soon as it was reissued (on Tomato records). I listened to it only once (and not till the end, I think), and it seemed very dry and acdemic to me. I'll give it another listen soon.

By the way, I got the Thomas Chapin "Insomnia" CD (Knitting Factory), and well, what can I say... I guess I'd better start searching for this 8-CD "Alive" box of his...

Uh, we did discuss about this (or rather I think I did ask about Chapin or something) earlier in this discussion.

I just ordered it! Hope this doesn't break the bank... 54.30 Euros at Amazon Germany (with probably some custom costs added again later...)

Got the new Cecil FMP release - will report soon.

Please do!

There's a Schweizer thread in the artists forum, not much happening there, but some recommendations were made.

I guess I'll subscribe to Intakt soon, and then pick up some of their backlist discs - lots of Schweizer, and I guess at least some of them really interesting.

May I recommend to you gentleman (ladies we miss in this region, it seems, hélas!) another recording which I find rather exciting upon one thorough listen:

Irene Schweizer, Chicago Piano Solo (Intakt CD 065) (more)

A stellar night recorded live at the Empty Bottle in 2000.

based on the AMG review this disc sounds fantastic! I will definitely add this to my ever-expanding "to buy" list.

Mount Everest Trio "Waves From Albert Ayler". Whooooah! One of the most exciting bass-saxophone-drums trios I've heard. Masterpiece from 70s. Mats Gustaffson wrote some rapturous liner notes. GET IT NOW! Also available for $13 Atavistic

up for others. I am enjoying the shit out of this one. Time to check this thread started by Muskrat

That's some exilirating stuff indeed.

I just saw your post in the live shows forum.  I guess you have seen this then.  B)

Whoops! My bad.

I deleted the post to which you refer as I thought that there'd be (as usual) little interest for that type of info on this board.

Good for you though in posting it within the Rat thread!

Thanks for the info--as I'm in Toronto, I may head down to see the McPhee concerts, unless there's a chance they'll come up here. Where'd you get the info? Hallwalls hadn't updated their site since November last time I checked--aauugh!

hamiddrake.com. I bookmarked the site since it seems to be very up to date with tour dates.
