romualdo

my copy (Australia bound) arrived yesterday I'm very happy with the SQ & the fact that they are transferring from the raw master reels. Will be interested to hear the comparison between the "tweaked" version of Noissesprahs (SharpSession) from the original 2LP/2CD "Live At The IUCC" compared to the "raw" version on Vol. 6 I'll probably have my sets shipped in two batches of 5

In 2020 Octave-Lab/Ultra-Vybe (Japan) released all 3 versions of "A Message From The Tribe" (amongst other Tribe releases) - The "Message...." double CD contained the B side of the original 1972 version, full 1973 second version plus the 1974 remastered/remixed version. The A side of the original 72 version was released as bonus tracks on the "An Evening With The Devil" CD. A much much cheaper way of getting this music if you don't mind the digital medium On current conversion rates that box will set me back over $Aus700 (not including shipping) - it's not in my price range for what you actually get https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTLCD-2475 https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTLCD-2476

Oh yeah!!, I second that emotion Carr's interpretation of Oldham & Penn's "Dark End Of The Street" is one of the best - The UK Ace "Goldwax Singles" compilation is essential for any soul collection. His 90s recording "Take Me To The Limit" is a stunner Also shout outs to O.V. Wright, Syl Johnson & Otis Clay

Jutta has been "boxed" - Be! Jazz released a 6CD+DVD set including a massive casebound book covering her life plus her artwork a few years back https://www.bear-family.com/hipp-jutta-the-life-and-art-of-jutta-hipp-6-cd-1-dvd-box.html Be! Jazz label may be a bit suss but this set has been so well done - doesn't have the look of a cheap "knock off" - the whole production looks like a labour of love. The transfer quality is excellent, the book is stunning.

Thanks for the link - what a fulfilled life & wonderful partnership with Ingrid/"Sertso" RIP Karl

Sam has previously released CDs but far & few between ie Nathan's Peace Treaty with 2 extra tracks https://samrecords.fr/produit/nathan-davis-sextet-peace-treaty-1965-cd-2-unissued-tracks/

looks like Sam has pressed the Davis set three times, initially a run of 1500 (2018 - when I picked up my copy), a second run of 1000 in 2019 & now a third of 2000 in 2021 which is what DG will be selling. So, a total of 4500 so far - there must be quite a demand for Nathan's output.

way too expensive IMHO especially for material that has already been previously released - they could have added the still unreleased Copenhagen concert from the same tour

Been listening to Horace et al for over 25 years & have virtually all of his released output & a few unreleased live recordings (FLAC files of live concerts i sourced a number of years ago - with Steve Lacy, Vancouver 93, with Carter/Bradford, Austria 87 & Germany 92, with Blythe, California 91, with Arkestra & Teddy Edwards, Chicago Jazz Festival, 93, HT Octet, Italy 87 The only release that has eluded me is the LA Octet recording on the Japanese Americana label - never seen a copy of this for sale - have been looking for a number of years now - wondered if it had actually been physically released (CD). The lineup is very similar to the live Verona, Italy concert I have - they are only 3 months apart - Verona has Arthur Blythe on tenor whilst Rastine Calhoun replaces Arthur on the later LA recording.

I'm a sucker for Tapscott recordings - went for the subscription (will also help with shipping costs to Australia) second the merging of the two (related) threads

Shipping notice today (from Nimbus West) to Australia. Also, got in stock notice from Dusty Groove but now OOS (temporarily?) on their website https://www.dustygroove.com/item/141973/Pan-Afrikan-People-s-Arkestra:Live-At-IUCC-11-26-78-Church-Recordings-Vol-1-2CD-set?sf=arkestra&incl_oos=1&incl_cs=1&kwfilter=arkestra&sort_order=artist

I'm sourcing mine (Rivers & Henderson) via JPC (Germany) - very reasonable shipping charges to Australia (just over 10 euros for those CDs plus the Edelhagen WDR Orchestra triple CD set)

The new JH CD with extra tracks is now available (again) via Jazz Messengers https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/95684/joe-henderson/the-complete-an-evening-w-joe-henderson?mc_cid=5c37a815ad&mc_eid=5c16ab7b46

RIP Ahmad - another legend gone Coincidentally I've been playing the recently released 4CDs "Live At The Penthouse" on rotation since receiving them two weeks ago - superb music Highly recommended IMHO

was really hoping for a Black Saint CD box set of Spearman's work when those BN/SN boxes were in full swing - 4 CDs under his own name & four (IIRC) with others (Trio Hurricane & ROVA)

just saw this thread: I've also been following these new Red rereleases (with a bit of confusion) since I saw the CD/LP listings on the Jazz Messengers site but not finding the Joe Henderson CD with three extra tracks (these apparantly have been previously released according to the Lord Discog - different label though) on the Red site. Also, when you click on the Sam Rivers CD link in the new release page it goes to another artist. Don't think they've revamped their website well enough. I suspect Jazz Messengers jumped the gun especially re the Joe Henderson set.

Honest Jons in the UK is a great source for jamaican/West Indian music (including jazz) - their series "London Is The Place For Me" is worth picking up https://honestjons.com/shop/search/london_is_the_place_for_me They also carry a great range of Brit improv/avant jazz - they've rereleased quite a bit of the UK Incus label (including previously unreleased material) on their vinyl imprint

Second that one too & so would Stonewall (Dan S - another board member), both of us having communicated with Jack Chambers in the past BTW Jack's bio of Dick T was published in 2008 https://www.amazon.com/Bouncin-Bartok-Incomplete-Richard-Twardzik/dp/1551281414 looks like it's OOP though second hand copies are circulating

have played the box twice now & no issues you describe BUT some of those discs are (again) tricky to remove without snapping them, especially the "inside" ones

that's one of the 4 (of 38) that I never picked up - why didn't it appeal to you?

you won't find it under Tapscott - it's listed under Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra

It's a Blue Moon (Sp) release - under the umbrella of Fresh Sounds? - currently OOP https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/clyde-bernahrdt-ike-lloyd-sylvestre-mike-freddie-strong-albums/554-the-complete-recordings-1945-1953-vol2.html?search_query=clyde+bernhardt&results=3

truly amazing set - 32 years old now AFAIK it's the only way you can source official CD versions of the Clyde Bernhardt/Kansas City Buddies & Pigmeat Markham/Jimmy Shirley sessions (both only ever previously released as 78s) or have they been released on some individual TOCJ CDs?

interesting 11 min Claes Dahlgren interview (possibly his first recorded) with Cecil Taylor during a break at his 5 Spot stint in '59 From Lewis Porter's site https://lewisporter.substack.com/p/cecil-taylors-first-recorded-interview

Great reasonably recent (2021) article on Albach, Tapscott, PAPA & Nimbus West https://www.analogplanet.com/content/horace-tapscott-tom-albach-and-story-nimbus-west-records
