jlhoots Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 So how does one get a copy in the US? Suspect shipping from overseas will be prohibitive. Quote

Very efficient service, thank you Alex Yet to listen to it but the packaging is certainly impressive if nothing else Great - glad it got there in good time! Hope you enjoy it... Quote

There's some great interplay going on there throughout the disc between varying combinations within the quintet. Evan P sounds almost funky at a couple of points Must be the influence of Hamid Drake.... (as he did with Black Top a couple of weeks ago......but then Pat Thomas and Orphy Robinson were hitting some grooves that night) Quote
niels Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Listened to it twice today, and I truly love it! Fantastic playing by everyone, and boy this does swing hard at moments. Quote
king ubu Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Okay, so after the almost McPhee love-fest lately ... there's a seven disc set out on Paal Nilsen-Love's label, "Candy", that seems to be pretty great ... found out about it today and my order is in already! https://pnlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/candy-4 review (and more buying options - but this is a case where I buy from the source): http://www.freejazzblog.org/2015/11/joe-mcphee-paal-nilssen-love-candy-pnl.html and as I'm posting here already ... the "Pomegranate" saga continues ... I gave up hopes of ever getting my backer copy, so I put in a new order with the label ... after a month or so and not receiving anything again, I got in touch and at least Ed seems to now bother ... I might after all still get a copy in 2015, wouldn't that be nice? Quote

peterintoronto Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Grabbed 'Candy' on discogs yesterday for $39 USD. Squidco seems to offer a cheap sealed copy once a week or so. Quote
niels Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Just ordered the new 4CDBox set from Agusti Fernández yesterday on bandcamp, which I think is very interesting and deserves some attention (as I don't see it being widely available). In 2014 Agusti Fernández was invited to the Ad Libitum Festival in Warsaw to play four concerts. Each concert sees Agusti in a (very) different setting, so I think this box set gives a very good impression of the wide capacities of the great pianist. https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/ CD01: River, Tiger, Fire Agustí Fernández - piano, conductor Wacław Zimpel - alto clarinet, ukrainian trombita, khaen (laotian bamboo mouth organ) Ray Dickaty - soprano & tenor saxophone Gerard Lebik - tenor saxophone Artur Majewski - trumpet Dominik Strycharski - soprano, alto & bass recorders / blockflutes Patryk Zakrocki - violin Marcin Olak - electric, acoustic guitats Rafał Mazur - acoustic bass guitar Ksawery Wójciński - double bass Hubert Zemler - drums CD02: ThunderAgustí Fernández - piano Frances Marie Uitti - cello Joel Ryan - live electronics CD03: Mnemosyne's LabyrinthAgustí Fernández - piano CD04: Live in Warsaw Agustí Fernández - piano Barry Guy - bass Ramón López - drums Quote
king ubu Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) An epic wait has ended ... two months ago I decided to, fuck, just order the disc from the label, as I never heard back from Mr. Haynes ... my order went under, it seems, and after getting in touch with Ed from New Atlantis again three weeks back, I had actually given up ever receiving a disc this very morning. And in the afternoon, what do I find in the mailbox ... Ed was kind enough to add another disc to the package, which is a nice way to make up for an epic fuck-up - truly appreciated. Actually, this morning I was of a mindset that even if the disc gets here before the year ends, I would just not listen to it, why bother ... but I guess watching a crappy Peckinpah flick in the movies tonight ("Convoy" 'twas) and having a couple of beers afterwards has mellowed my moods a bit. So I tore off the shrinkwrap, grabbed my (fairly new and wonderful beyerdynamic) headphones and popped it in ... William Parker again sounds okay here (he didn live a few weeks ago ... guess studio technique does all the tricks necessary?), but that's just a stupid aside really - this is wonderful music, warm and human if that makes sense, organic, slowly unfolding, fuzzy and sometimes whimsical on the surface but deep beneath it. Happy I finally got the disc, even I still feel like having been screwed ... Edited December 23, 2015 by king ubu Quote

Steve Reynolds Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I want the Agusti Fernandez box very badly Quote

niels Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I ordered it directly from the label on Bandcamp, and including shipping it only cost me €35,- (very reasonable for a 4CD set I think). Quote
peterintoronto Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Yup, recently ordered it too. CAD to PNL was surprisingly affordable. The music, of course, sets the bar very high. Possibly the most engaging, honest, and beautiful sounds of 2015. Edited December 24, 2015 by peterintoronto Quote

I also really like the Fernandez/Guy/Ropez trio (and where I've heard him elsewhere). Downloaded it from Bandcamp for just over £18. Bargain! Quote
jcam_44 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Charles Gayle - Tenor Saxophone Buell Neidlinger - Bass John Bergamo - Drums Looks like this was released a few weeks ago. Recorded at John Bergamo's home on a tape recorder in 1965. Can't wait to hear pre-Homeless (Silkheart) Charles. Quote
paul secor Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) I heard him play at a concert in Buffalo in 1967. edit - I might be interested in hearing this, mainly because I never cared for John Bergamo's playing when I heard him in the mid 60's (seemed stiff to me) and it could be interesting to hear what my take is now. Edited December 24, 2015 by paul secor Quote
jcam_44 Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Charles Gayle - Tenor Saxophone,Piano William Parker - Bass Hamid Drake - Drums Another Charles release coming Jan 21st. Semi-looking forward to this one. About half of Charles playing is on Piano, and though at times I enjoy his piano playing, in this ensemble I would prefer him on tenor. Quote

peterintoronto Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I ordered directly from the label too - in late December. Still hasn't arrived. Apparently another will be sent to me. We'll see! Quote

Completely underwhelming and the sound quality is subpar even for a tape recorder.I wouldn't recommend this unless you're a completist or find it for a good buy. Quote
jlhoots Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 My Agusti Fernandez box arrived today from Jazz Messengers. (Apparently it's now out of stock.) Quote
