Possibly he has read it ... my point was just that it doesn't show in what I find a pretty bad review.

Thanks - I was bit confused by all the posts and Dan's kinda "in the know" announcement ... will be waiting for the new release to hit the usual suspects then

Okay, so you are just distributing/selling, not part of the Uptown outfit?

I'm a bit confused ... is this an edition of 20 or will this eventually also be available through the usual outlets (such as jazzmessengers.com)?

Was actually hoping for a review to turn up, so thanks .... but I'm not quite sure Mr. Hajdu has actually read the book (at least I will not buy one of *his* books, that's for sure), more just flipped around in it and then written what was clear already anyway. Anyone here has started reading and can share some first impressions?

Alas no. I have "Eight Years" on the frighteningly high reading pile, too (have read some of it online though - not sure how different the book versions will be, or if at all).

tonight: Sylvie Courvoisier – Julian Sartorius Teju Cole’s ‘Shadow Point’ with Sylvie Courvoisier, Tom Arthurs, Julian Sartorius

They shall bring many hours of listening pleasure over the years to come, I'm quite sure

so the funeral was bitter thus the band drank beer or the bitter beer led to the band being funeralised or maybe the bitter band had a beer at the funeral possibly also the funeral was bitter about having to settle for what beer the band left behins (none, possibly?) not quite sure, but the ECM album is indeed wonderful

No idea ... but teh backcover on discogs gives listings of soloists and Cherry is mentioned on all but the final piece: https://www.discogs.com/de/Bitter-Funeral-Beer-Band-With-Don-Cherry-K-Sridhar-Live-In-Frankfurt-82/release/1283163

Certainly the A'dam gig with the ICP guys would be great fun ... no gig near enough to me to make it, alas.

so you did make that move?

No, they don't (but a related label did the "Peace Treaty" CD by Davis, I think ... and not sure if the "Barney Wilen Quintet" reissue doesn't come from that corner - but CDs are not running under "Sam Records"). Recently, they did the Monk "Liaisons" on vinyl, right? CD was available from a different label ... would be great if the Davis did turn up on CD as well, but I'm still tempted by the vinyl, although with custom taxes added it will end up quite expensive indeed (some 75-80 € I guess).

two ... speaking of both albums (ICP 025 and ICP 026), not sure which is the oh-so-horrible-sounding one

They ought to re-do the great Nichols/Monk stuff - one of them, at least half an album (LP-side I guess) is almost unlistenable in the box, alas.

r.i.p. found this on the tube:

Got this set last year as well, based on this thread

Joye Hatto, of course ...

Yeah ... but this is about Barry Gi ... uhm, Michael Gibbs here Has anyone heard the release by now? How is sound quality on the first two discs? I quite like this one (what's the state of the Dutton Vocalion jazz reissue programme - still breathing?): And I guess I could do with some more, so maybe this new release would be just that?

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. There's that one Kenny Wheeler album from the seventies with him ... and I've got at least one disc of his own, this one here:

Yes on Grimal, and Kullhammar, too! Not sure where Grimal is heading, never had a chance to catch her live, but on record it seems she's straying further and further from jazz. I love the double disc with Giovanni di Domenico on Ayler, I have no idea what to label that music, but I don't think I'd call it jazz. And we discussed trumpet player Susana Santos Silva in another thread recently ... she's the guest on the most recent, fourth volume of the "Basement Session" series (subtitled "The Bali Session" and indeed with gamelan's and some wonderfully mesmerizing grooves to go along) by the Aalberg/Kullhammar/Zetterberg trio.

Art Ellefson, too, speaking of tenor saxophonists as in the other thread ...

Hm yeah, if I found such a great price locally (if I order online, it will get 25-30€ more expensive due to taxes and fees). I don't think I can justify the acquisition ...

So there we go again? all older players (40+), mostly mainstream in the broader sense ... but yeah, Laubrock certainly can play, although I'm not always all that big on *what* she plays - but when she's on, she's great! Mostly US guys, too, and the somewhat hurting point: those mentioned here mostly don't get any bookings/exposure elsewhere. So I guess with the topic at hand, these days, many of those being mentioned will be known from recordings or they form part of a local/regional scene that does get air time around where one lives. (Okay, I did get a chance to see Mark Shim as part of the Lehman Octet once, I heard Wayne Escofferey with the Mingus Big Band a dozen or more years ago, Donny McCaslin with Maria Schneider, Dave Douglas and his own utterly boring group -- which was quite good w/David Bowie I found) The youngest I can come up with, off the top of my head, is Sophie Alour, 43, French, mainstream as well -- she's part of the Rhoda Scott Lady Quartet with which I saw her live for the first time recently. I don't think any of her releases shows her potential so far (maybe "Opus 3" best). Of the older generation, over here in yurp, certainly these deserve mention: Tobias Delius Ab Baars Harry Sokal Roman Schwaller Andy Scherrer (who's in his seventies by now) There is also Ada Rave, from Argentina ("only" 44) Also, thinking US again, Matt Bauder comes to mind, at 42 he's uhm, quite young. And thinking US, older generation: don't foget about Ernest Dawkins and Ari Brown. And thinking a bit further, it does seem that in the younger generation in avant/improv, the tenor is just one among many instruments again ... I'd rather name some pianists (Kaja Draksler, Eve Risser, Colin Vallon, not to forget our own Alexander Hawkins) if I'd be pressed to name some favourites.
