Man with the Golden Arm

Another one? I see this one puts up two additional tracks but...well, I guess it's been a couple of years.

Congrats Jad! Wouldn't worry at all for there will be times during the birthing process that'll be just like being at a Zorn show.

..and what is that cornball thing Zorn scribes in the "Boogaloo" liners? something about "Patton-ted..."???

I always thought it was "zorn-ication" and if you were just thinkin' about it it was "zorn-if-ication"? The DIW 'Minor Swing' is outztanding. Zorn is not the, how did one poster back on the BNBB when describing him on 'Blue Planet Man' put it (?)..., "groove killer". The real stand-out here is Ed Cherry. He's playing some killer stuff. But the tip o' the leslie must go to Jim Anderson, it's one of the finest sounding organ albums ever. And, Harvey Pekar does the liners. Highest recommendations. And if you can still find the mini-lp gatefold you get some choice Wolffs as well!!

anyone looking for a bunch of pristine vinyl Neil Young make me an offer?!

sergio mendes fan here as well. stuck in the '66 mode tho. lanni hall is by far one of the best stylists of that era, imo. those recent 24 bit re-masters are fantastic!! have not heard that primal roots disc but will give a look. thanks for the raves. i see amazon u.s. has it for $33 w/ shipping at 5 days! i tried to zoom in on the cover and it looked like it was 1800 Y or so. mr. tanno might very well be able to get this one.

for sheer visual beauty (every frame is a wonderful composition), beatrice dalle and a killer soundtrack:

I came to know of Blue Mitchell through releases by Ben Sidran. I think he was on a few of Ben's albums in the late seventies. I know that Ben kind of gets tossed into the lightweight smooth thing-he's not. His work in the mid seventies was some great, great stuff. Blue sounds very polished at this time. If you see any of Sidran's 70's Arista records around, grab em and check em out. 'Kiss in the Night' was my favorite of the ones with Mitchell. Do check out "Be Nice" (Ben's Solo) from 'The Doctor is In'. It could be the new OrgBB theme song!

...AND they paid seconds after the auction ended. bring on that Mosaic Select and I'll still have down payment left-overs for the Connoisseurs! WEE HOO Baby!

or this Orgy in Rhythm set! my favorite so far...

Rooster, I can't believe you don't have the Hello Kitty Vibrator yet!!!

darn friggin macintosh won't allow me to sample that site you tossed up there Mule. just pops me right into iTunes with nothin' but a text icon remaining from the download. the DMG blurb has me intrigued. describe that piece will ya. the movie doesn't come my way till late september.

mule, very much looking forward to this movie. i had been searching for what might be on the soundtrack and came up short as no track lists are available. i did find this blurb for maneri's avant realease on john zorn's avant label: JOE MANERI - Paniots Nine (Avant 067; Japan) An exciting first release of Joe's legendary 1963 quartet recordings ! In the past 10 years, more and more people have become aware of the music of Joe Maneri. Born in Brooklyn in 1927, Joe has been a professional musician since 1941. A veteran of countless bands, his experience as a musician-for-hire gave him a unique insight into a wide variety of music, from jazz and classical, to Klezmer and Greek wedding music. Integrating these musics into a personal vision as early as the mid 50's, Maneri is a true American original, anticipating the exciting new music of the AACM, and the more recent developments of Dave Douglas, Don Byron (who studied with Joe at the New England Conservatory), Paradox Trio and countless others. These are the legendary lost tapes of Joe's ill-fated 1963 quartet demo; the original recordings both musicians and critics have been talking about for years. You've got to hear it to believe it. Joe Maneri (ts, cl), Don Burns (p), John Beal (bs), Pete Dolger (ds), Greg Silverman (p) CD $18.00 STOCK + Liner Notes by Pekar! give Downtown Music Gallery a ring.

From my recollection Hiroshi charges about 250 Yen per lp sleeve style disc. That's a couple of bucks. And to top that off he packs 'em up with Japanese style- that means perfectly! He does take PayPal and that costs him not you. Caveat- PayPal has hotel exchange rates. So if you were to order up a couple new 2500Y JRVGs, say, from Dusty Groove it would be $54.00 shipped compared to Tanno at $46.00 - you save eight and get some Japanese stamps to give to the kids!

Just sampled some snippets and this does sound quite interesting. With the buffer warping this sounds kinda like some funky eno-esque soundtrack for Requiem for a Dream.

Yeah, it's too bad that these "essential" pieces of music have to be littered with so-so literature. I think that the Blumenthal pages in the RVG series have been pretty much un-necessary as they have yet to spin my head around and make me take notice of something new. Seems that he's been chewing up column space just trying to get the word count up for the dead-line rather than yielding any revelations that would appeal to a new music fan or other-wise. I've always found his writings to be great - the 80's re-issues and all the Mosiacs he penned - and was dissapointed when he left the Globe. Probably too busy these days since teaming up with Branford and his new label (what cooler a gig for a journalist/critic ?!) to write anything truly critical. And now that 'American Splendor' has hit the screens it looks like he'll be moving over for Harvey Pekar. Pretty much just filler- I for one would rather see more Wolff fotos on these pages.

damn who?

Ya should've given her a niblick right in her spoonie! (or the other way around) ...and you should have corrected her English as well. It's gotta be another hoax. Sheesh!

would it be possible to tag up a note urging that users should in due time delete threads started regarding selling stuff, or auction notices that have ended with a "sale"? I'm sure any little bit of server space from vanquished threads would help.

Yes, I do believe they are all out of print and now taken over by a Verve comp that has a couple tunes off of those first two discs. I've looked everywhere but Gemm. Thanks very much for the offer, ubu, but I'd like to stick with finding these at a decent price. Good luck finding Vol2. I'l post back if I get lucky. There is some new thing called Mosaic Select though.

wondering if this is still around? only see a verve compilation that shortchanges this session:

Haven't the Canadian mfgs been right behind Japan and Germany as far as good QC?

While I have yet to hear this set, only a couple chance radio cuts, the interplay evident within this thread is what it's all about. This morning I clicked over from trying to discern something good from the overtly ubiquitous political forums and lurked onto this. Choice stuff, beautifully written and well beyond par (actually below par would be better;)) of anything one reads when venturing into the expansive journalistic criticism of music. You guys are good! Still trying to refine my visualization of a bong hitting monster bass player.

Love to see posts from Hans again!! ...and boy I never thought that 'Magic Ukulele of Roy Smeck' disc would ever see the light of day in glorious 24-bit sound! Pupule` baby!!
