The fourth and ninth. Das Lied if you count that. Least favorite: The 8th, although live it's of course a lot of fun. I might want be a contrarian and also say the 10th completed by Cooke is in my top 5.

RIP, he's reached the final pause track.

I have no room for LPs, is there going to be a digital release? I wish someone would put on CD the entire Tapscott Sessions. Who's running Nimbus now that Tom Albach is dead?

Ticket bought!

The rock band Sparks is so far the only group confirmed for next year.

Not buying anything from this guy ever again.

Is the Jazz Composers' Orchestra on this list? I despaired of it ever seeing a legitimate CD release, gave up and bought (an admittedly pristine) 1980s Japanese LP reissue of it off of discogs.

Live from Harvard on April 30, 2021. Video Available for only two weeks.

True story, I read this topic as "pony Poindexter only fans".

How is Rathaus, spiky and modern or more on the romantic side?

Tonight in fact!

I got both of these, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the Czech jazz on 74-75.

Philology CDs seemed very hard to find in the US even they were still an active enterprise.

No live concerts in Baltimore/Washington until some outdoor concerts by the Baltimore Symphony in June, to say farewell to Marin Alsop. But the BSO plans a full 2021-2022 season.

The Kennedy Center is presenting it in the coming season, not sure if they have had a funding relationship. Sonic Portraits: Iphigenia Sonic Portraits tells the story of legendary women through song in brave theatrical stagings. Iphigenia, co-commissioned by the Kennedy Center, is a new operatic collaboration between two of the most visionary and daring musical voices of our time: 11-time Grammy Award®–winning composer and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and four-time Grammy Award®–winning bassist, composer, and vocalist esperanza spalding. Architect Frank Gehry, a luminary creative force of his generation, will create set designs for a production by award–winning theater and opera director Lileana Blain-Cruz that will play in the Eisenhower Theater December 10–12, 2021. Improvisation becomes a living metaphor for choice as compositional hierarchies are disrupted in Shorter and spalding’s adaptation of the Greek myth that is also an intervention into myth-making itself, and an intervention into opera as we know it.

@AllenLoweScrew IP ownership, you should make these available!

For those contemplating the digital release, be aware when you buy downloads from New World you have to download each track individually tediously.

Wish I could get the vinyl only Tapscott stuff as downloads.

Not sure why Dusty Groove never got copies, so I am ordering straight from the label. Glad to hear they seem to have no issue getting their CDs to the US.

I've listened to everything that Vol. 1 of the book covers-- can't wait to dive into the rest when Vol. 2 comes.

I like the new Noriko Ogawa recording, she varies each repetition just a little so it doesn't get boring. 80 minutes flew by in fact.

Baltimore Symphony has been doing hour-long streaming concerts, with interesting off the beaten path repertoire. This is Marin Alsop's last year and it's such a kick in the gut to not be able to see live music. \https://www.offstage.bsomusic.org/en/bso-sessions

Gilchrist has several archived concerts on demand from Baltimore venue An Die Musik. https://andiemusiklive.com/
