I guess I'll get one from here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UICY-77705

Need to re-listen, guess I have the same edition Chuck has ... never warmed to it as much as to some of the Impulse! albums of his, but I still remember it as very good. Anyway, the CD reissues were nice enough while they lasted - the entire Mangelseorff and Hans Koller were brought back, some mighty fine Rolf Kühn (that mini-series went beyond MPS of course!), and Promising Music took care of tome of the better free-ish albums, including "Fly Fly Fly Fly Fly" and the Tchicai one ... still, the label has so many treasures and browsing through these digital releases that's evident once more ... at least I managed to get the Solals (or most of them) on vinyl by now.

will definitely try and get the SME and the Colbeck - guess a pre-order is on order the Weston was reissued a while ago on a fine twofer with the other album from the same sessions/line-up: http://www.discogs.com/Randy-Weston-Randy-Westons-African-Rhythms/release/5190944

Pretty decent, all in all. Have some posts been deleted here?

Very, very sad! This hits me hard.

Yeah, the pairing is odd and the Bley set would have deserved release in its entirety for sure (hadn't heard (any of) the Globe Unity set before, don't know if there's more but I reckon there is) ... but I still had to get that LP, wasn't exactly cheap!

Oh, sorry, had actually read that post yesterday but had already forgotten again ... done ordered a copy!

Anyone can recommend me anything really good by her? All I heard so far (mostly that kitsch album dedicated to her father's music) was way too much on the kitsch side of things.

They were very good here in november ... and I made a huge gaffe afterwards ... after their set, it was Craig Taborn solo and he really smashed the whole world to pieces and then rebuilt it again ... second stellar piano solo set this year, after Alexander Hawkins' great solo set in spring at the same venue (on a different piano ... methinks Alex got the better one, but it didn't matter, both were rented (baby) grands and probably both in great condition) ... anyway, I had to shake hands and thank Taborn for his amazing performance, and he's there with Rainey/Laubrock sipping on a drink ... so somehone (I honestly don't remember if it was Taborn or Rainey) made a remark about the first set of the evening (the Rainey trio's) ... and dumbfounded (it's not so easy to be smartass in a foreign language and in real time!) I said something like "yours was fine, too" - really made a fool of myself there but didn't really try to make it worse by going on taking nonsense Anyway, it was a most invigorating set, Halvorson was energized (she isn't always, I've seen her a few times by now and at least once she was tired in a way that is showed ... music was still fine, but different. Anyway, enjoyed her and Laubrock's performance an awful lot, and Rainey was always right behind them, shading and offering support and still hitting it hard without ever being an intruder or being loud or anything - very intense stuff!

I chose to ignore that

Xept I feel pissed on by Sony .... got the big Bach box and then many of the latest Gould Collection or however it was called ... and then shortly after they bring out this new box with new remastering. Guess that's capitalism and free markets and stuff, but it's also disrepect for those that keep it going.

the latest bunch was first mentioned here: I've since bought the Blake and the Mitchell ones ... I think I enjoy the Blake more - both were mostly new to me (I've got one of the Blake albums on vinyl, didn't know any of the Mitchell leader albums)

Yup, cost me 28$. It's a digipack the size of a jewel case, you only get a pdf of the booklet (online or on disc one). And it took arpund three weeks to make it here so they seem to have found a cheap way to send it.

Same here ... having those four takes from the sextet session was indeed worth the price of admission!

hm, thought OP was raging (S)angry all the time ...

bump! had the second volume in the mail yesterday and am nearing the end of my first listen (all the way through) - some dynamite here! That Kalaparusha track on disc 1, in trio with drummer John Betsch and Juma Sultan on bass, is true dynamite! It's 18 minutes long and towards the end sorta goes into an electric Miles-like groove (I guess Sultan is producing those sounds and Kalaparusha lays out there, but I may be wrong ... obviously, with Sultan around, we're back to the Jimi connection. The liners have this to say about the track (not sure, but don't we have a "quote box" option any longer?): KALAPARUSHA The late tenor saxophonist and composer Kalaparusha, whose 1969 album Humility In Light of the Creator is an avant-garde jazz classic, links CMS directly to both Chicago’s groundbreaking Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians – and to none other than Jimi Hendrix. Born Maurice McIntyre, Kalaparusha was a founding AACM member and as such, a kindred spirit with CMS, where he became a Guiding Artist. His trio here includes drummer John Betsch, a longtime sideman of the great South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim (a/k/a Dollar Brand), whose CMS residencies are spoken of in awestruck tones by fellow CMS artists. Meantime the bassist, Juma Sultan, explains the Hendrix connection: “The bass line on the Kalaparusha cut is the same from the one I played with Jimi Hendrix, which is called ‘Sundance.’ There was a lot of jamming with Jimi when he was in Woodstock, including a session with Sam Rivers that I recorded. Jimi rented a house on Trevor Hollow Road, an English manor house. We recorded with Jimi and my band, the Aboriginal Music Society, at the Tinker Street Theater. We would play every Friday night after the movie from midnight until 3 or so in the morning.” Together, Kalaparusha, Sultan and Betsch move with authority from soulful Coltrane/ Pharoah Sanders-style incantations to boundary-pushing tonal explorations, burning post-bop, and unhurried, contemplative free-form interplay. The second disc of large ensemble music I found weakest on first listen (one track each led by Don Cherry, Baikida Carroll and Gerry Hemingway, from 17 to 27 minutes in length), the third, again dubbed "World Music", is again very entertaining, I love the loping groove on the 13 minute track by Amadou Jarr! Anyway, very glad I rememberd to get this - and happy it arrived just in time for christmas (yesterday, actually) - Mr. Berger also added a handwritten note wishing me a musical new year - ya bet!

It's a truly wonderful disc, into my third spin today ... glad I got over my grudge and popped it right into the player!

An epic wait has ended ... two months ago I decided to, fuck, just order the disc from the label, as I never heard back from Mr. Haynes ... my order went under, it seems, and after getting in touch with Ed from New Atlantis again three weeks back, I had actually given up ever receiving a disc this very morning. And in the afternoon, what do I find in the mailbox ... Ed was kind enough to add another disc to the package, which is a nice way to make up for an epic fuck-up - truly appreciated. Actually, this morning I was of a mindset that even if the disc gets here before the year ends, I would just not listen to it, why bother ... but I guess watching a crappy Peckinpah flick in the movies tonight ("Convoy" 'twas) and having a couple of beers afterwards has mellowed my moods a bit. So I tore off the shrinkwrap, grabbed my (fairly new and wonderful beyerdynamic) headphones and popped it in ... William Parker again sounds okay here (he didn live a few weeks ago ... guess studio technique does all the tricks necessary?), but that's just a stupid aside really - this is wonderful music, warm and human if that makes sense, organic, slowly unfolding, fuzzy and sometimes whimsical on the surface but deep beneath it. Happy I finally got the disc, even I still feel like having been screwed ...

it's Motian anyway ... Mow - dee - an (sort of, you guys don't have that kind of "o" anyway, which is why "motion" was okay with him I guess)

This is fun! Can someone hand me the popcorn please?

See, the jewel case itself is perfect. It's man that's the problem (same with communism, I guess )
