John B

Thanks for the recommendations! up now: Dollar Brand - African Piano Schlippenbach Trio - Pakistani Pomade

Mny - I just grabbed a copy of this that a fellow board member had for sale. I am looking forward to hearing it!

I just came across an example of this. The review of Keith Tippett's Mujician III (August Air), by Thom Jurek, is a rave review, using phrases like "work of genius" and "perhaps most brilliant" yet only giving the album two stars. Makes no sense.

I'll probably keep remembering more and having to use the "edit" function but here I go, off the top of my head: Unwound Shellac Fugazi Slint Mogwai Tortoise Godspeed You Black Emperor! Stereolab Yo La Tengo Spiritualized Bardo Pond Alice Donut

It took me a very long time to track down a copy of this disc, for some reason. It was well worth the wait! I got it mainly for Hamid, but have really been digging Bergman's work on this disc. It is my first exposure to him...any recommendations for where to go next? Up next - Cecil Taylor - The Willisau Concert

today: Duke Ellington - And His Mother Called Him Bill Johnny Hartman - I Just Dropped By To Say Hello Miles Davis - The Complete Birth of the Cool The Flaming Lips - In A Priest Driven Ambulance The Flaming Lips - Providing Needles for Your Balloons Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime Peter Kowald - Touch The Earth - Break the Shells Medeski, Martin & Wood - Electric Tonic

sure, not a problem! done.

I hadn't heard anything but your post prompted me to take a look at his website: "Secondly I am discussion with Hat Hut records regarding the re-release of all four of the Hat Hut recordings of the Quintet as box set (Special Detail, Down to the Wire, Demon Chaser, and The Marmalade King)!!! " no clues as to a definitive date,etc... still, great news!

Organissimo question on emusic I did not post the question...I wonder if it was someone off of this board?

$37.35 w/ 11 hours left. out of my league.

also, this site has it for sale: http://www.felmay.it/dischi.php3 but has a 2 disc minimum on orders. I have no idea how reliable they are.

I don't know how good your Italian is, but I found this article on the Italian AAJ site: ROSCOE MITCHELL & The Note Factory,"Bad Guys" - CD live E' un grande onore per Il Manifesto Cd presentare l'album live di Roscoe Mitchell and The Note Factory. Il sassofonista statunitense, figura storica del jazz e fondatore degli Art Ensemble Of Chicago, con "Bad Guys" fissa un momento della tourneé italiana 2000-2001 Tra queste acclamate esibizioni, è stata scelta quella di Fano, svoltasi presso la suggestiva atmosfera della "Corte Malatestiana", per testimoniare la forza innovativa e la portata artistica di un musicista sempre orientato alla ricerca di nuove strade espressive del jazz e della musica nera. Il concerto, ripreso nella sua versione quasi integrale, testimonia ancora una volta la genialità del lavoro di Roscoe Mitchell, per l'occasione in compagnia di altri grandi e soprattutto del compositore Stephen Rush, al suo esordio, che firma due brani molto importanti. La band che suona nel cd THE BAD GUYS: ROSCOE MITCHELL - sax WADADA LEO SMITH - tromba MATTHEW SHIPP - piano CRAIG TABORN - piano SPENCER BAREFIELD - chitarra JARIBU SHAHID - basso HARRISON BANK HEAD - batteria TANI TABAL - contrabbasso GERARD CLEAVER - batteria Il cd è in vendita in tutte le librerie del circuito FELTRINELLI e IL LIBRACCIO, nei punti vendita della catena RICORDI MEDIA STORES e nei migliori negozi di dischi e librerie al costo di 8,00 Euro. pressoff@bigtimeweb.it promozione@bigtimeweb.it It might be worth writing to one of these email addresses and seeing if they can direct you to a copy. Maybe writing to Jazzos would work, although they do not have the disc listed yet.

agreed on the ONJQ live disc. Out of curiosity, what was the rest of your list like? today: Baikida Carroll - The Door of the Cage The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Dollar Brand - African Piano The Bad Plus Stereolab - Peng! Jim Pepper - Comin' and Goin' Borah Bergman / Hamid Drake - Reflections on Ornette Coleman

Lineup: Andrew Hill, piano Greg Tardy, tenor sax and clarinet John Hebert, bass Nasheet Waits, drums I'll be seeing them in about 2 weeks. Let us know how the show is!

Johnny's Corner Song will be one of my next purchases as soon as I am buying music again. (I just got a big order in and need to chill out for a little while) I have heard great things about this disc and the version of "Toombow" in particular.

John - I would like to take you up on your offer, until such time as I can locate an original copy of each. Drop me a line and we can work out the details. You can pick up the new disc directly from Gerry on his website Gerry Hemingway $15 plus shipping. I have heard good reviews from a few people who already have this disc. I'll probably be picking it up sooner rather than later.

I've looked everywhere I can think of and have had no luck tracking down copies of any of these discs. I would love to be able to buy realistically priced copies, if possible, otherwise would be happy with cdr burns. I have many oop discs I would be willing to tradcopies of in return. The four titles I am looking for are: Special Detail Down to the Wire Demon Chaser Marmalade King thanks for any help!

recently: Billy Bang - Vietnam: the Aftermath Music for the Morning of the World v/a - Flying Groove DKV Trio - Live Romano, Sclavis, Texier - Suite Africaine Rabih Abou-Khalil - The Blue Camel ONJQ - Live Bardo Pond - Vol. 2 The Billy bang album is highly recommended. Not too out...I think a lot of people would really dig this disc if they gave it a chance.

For Stereolab so far they have added Peng! and Switched On. I am hoping they add Groop Played "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" soon, as it is on the same label as the first two. I already had Switched On, which is a great disc. I have already added Peng to my "stash" and will be downloading it asap. I'm excited about hearing the Pixies BBC Sessions disc finally, too.

I'm still trying to track down copies of Gerry Hemingway's albums on hat. All are long since OOP.

emusic has just added the Beggars Banquet family of labels. New discs available from The Pixies, Stereolab, Badly Drawn Boy, The Fall, PJ Harvey, Mouse on Mars, Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins plus many more I am forgetting.

I just saw on AMG that there is a track called "Nation Time" on Gary Bartz' Singerella: A Ghetto Fairy Tale album from 1974. AMG does not list a composer for this track. I was curious...is this a version of Joe McPhee's "Nation Time" from 1970 or is it another track altogether? Anybody know?

Likewise! It keeps things interesting, you know? How are you enjoying Providence? today's list, subject to change: Last Exit - Cassette Recordings '87 David Murray & Gwo-Ka Masters - Yonn-de David Murray Latin Big Band - Now is Another Time Chris Cheek - A Girl Named Joe Baikida Carroll - Marionettes on a High Wire Michel Benita - Lower the Walls Blackalicious - Nia

It was taken at the Vision Festival 2002. I got it off of One Final Note. It is the best solo picture I have seen of him online.

I'm pretty sure I have a copy of that at home, somewhere. I picked it up in Glasgow about 10 years ago. Have you ever heard their first live album, Concert? I think it was recorded in the tour for The Top. That was a fun disc.
