Hmm. Looks familiar. Yep. See September 15 of last year.

No. That was Elemental Music.

Anyone heard the Tommy Flanagan/Jaki Byard duo recording? Any comments? Does it work?

That looks like a hammock, not a swing! Here's a swing:

I've got the Retrieval set. My recollection is that it used some old John R. T. Davies transfers (not necessarily a bad thing). However, I was eager to have heard what OTR would have done based on their other efforts.

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that OTR had been planning a complete New Orleans Rhythm Kings release. Off The Record is described as "a now-defunct production company" on the Archeophone Records website. Guess we shouldn't expect any more OTR releases. In addition to the King Oliver and Wolverines releases, they had a 2-cd issue of music from New Orleans entitled "Cabaret Echoes." That one is out of print as well. I remember the Milestone 2-fers as having really awful sound.

Posted already. See November 15, 2015. Scary back story.
