erwbol Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I have two copies of only 2000 ever produced and one is up for sale. €49 €40 Anthony Braxton - Quartet (Santa Cruz) 1993 (hat ART CD 2-6190), double CD released 1997. There is a vertical fold in the back artwork along the yellow strip. A previous owner had the artwork stored outside of the jewel case. Booklet in excellent condition. The 2 CDs have some dirt, fingerprints and thin hairline markings on them visible under lamplight. Both discs play perfectly. The discs were in this condition when I bought them from the previous owner, and I am not someone who cleans discs as long as they play fine. Discs not in original jewel case, replacement jewel case not graded. ------ Free worldwide shipping*. I will ship your order in one of those secure CD Japan boxes that fit through a letter box. Outside the Netherlands PayPal or bank transfer. Binnen Nederland graag een bankoverschrijving. * With PayPal please choose the option 'send money to friend or family' instead of 'pay for goods or services.'

Steve Reynolds Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) One of those legendary recordings that completely lives up to it's reputation. Disc 2 is just about as intense as it gets on a recording. I guess I would have passed out if I had been there live - well 1993 was before I ever heard of Anthony Braxton - and if someone - even a few years after that - ever mentioned that this band may be referred to as his "classic quartet" , I might have thought that someone was quite insane. Recordings like this are worth the money, plus as many of us know, reissue is doubtful Edited October 30, 2014 by Steve Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 That's got me even more tempted Steve. I fear it's just not a the right time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I bought both my copies on the second hand market after the album had become rare and gained its (just) reputation, so I have to find a way to share the financial pain fairly between myself and the next owner of the copy here on sale. I won't be making a profit. I can offer free worldwide shipping if at PayPal you choose the option 'send money to friend or family' instead of 'pay for goods or services,' or you pay by bank transfer when you live in the Netherlands. I will ship your order in one of those secure CD Japan boxes that fit through a letter box. Edited October 31, 2014 by erwbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Jim - I will be very interested in your impressions of Hemingway's playing on this recording. Also very curious if you've heard much of Hemingway's Quintet recordings from ~ 1988 through 1996 - the band with Michael Moore, Ernst Reijseger, Wolter Wierbos and Mark Dresser. Knowing that Gerry was part of the great Braxton Quartet might be informative in the development of his own, more traditional, band - with his own compositions.

JSngry Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Very familiar with Hemmingway/Braxton, somewhat familiar with his own recordings of the time you mention. I prefer him with Braxton, just because...I prefer Braxton. Not a knock at all on Hemmingway, always enjoy him. Just that Braxton, that's a whole 'nother plane, period. Not just of music, but of life-view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hemingway is just fantastic on this disc. In his own words: "it is actually the second set that brings chills and tears to my eyes each time I listen to it. It reaches a level of intensity that is nothing short of explosive."

colinmce Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Everything is true. There's something magical about the Coventry 1985 set, but there's no denying that band was on another plane altogether by 1993. They were on another plain, period. There's really nothing like it.

mjazzg Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Listening to the Oakland date from the same month and Hemingway's contributions are so front and centre in parts it could be his leader date. Great playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 As always I recommend The Marmalade King for probably the most explosive drumming of his on record within his wonderous suite. Play straight through to the stunning last track when it all comes together. Also the finest playing on record by Moore and Reijseger I've heard Well worth the $40 it takes to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes, everything is true. This is a great band doing great work at the upper end of their great, perhaps the uppermost end of their great, which is to say as great as anything by anybody that has been or will be great. Nobody's really mentioned Dresser yet, but me, I'm a bass guy, and when I get to really analyzing this stuff, I'm gonna focus on Dresser first. But really, this is band music, and ceez, this is a band that started on fire and only got hotter. Thanks to Ervin for handling the business on his end. This one is special among special. I truly feel lucky to have gotten the opportunity to get this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I thought I had scored a copy of this at a similar price on Amazon Marketplace from a board member who shall remain unnamed. It turned out the member didn't have it. Disappointed. Don't list what you don't have!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlhoots Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 How come I knew that the reissue would NOT appear on time??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Recordings like this are worth the money, plus as many of us know, reissue is doubtful Hat often re-releases items from its catalog and Santa Cruz is on it's upcoming releases page. See http://www.hathut.com/upcoming. So for fans without, there's hope & for those who already own a copy (me) the market value of your item is about to drop.

disaac Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Peter, Don't mean to burst your bubble but many titles have sat on that list for years. Not saying it's not going to happen by any means; just saying that it might not be as imminent as any of us would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well, it's listed as forthcoming "Late February-- Delayed" on Dusty Groove. Their Hat pre-listings are always correct-- I'm guessing they have direct contact with Uehlinger. So I think it is safe to say that it's in the next batch.

I'm still skeptical & hopefully wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
