  1. +1 Well done. And I won't waste any more time looking for covers with higher exclam counts. 😁
  2. That's the very album that came to mind when exclams were mentioned. 🤣 This one goes 2 better on exclams, but it's Contemporary rather than BN:
  3. This arrived today and I'm happy with the acquisition. Sound quality is excellent. I'm fine with mono for chamber music (or solo piano) if well-recorded. Performance outstanding. I think Sándor Végh's playing here is better than in the 1970s Beethoven cycle I have, where his intonation occasionally sounds a little off.
  4. One of those (probably pirate) box sets on B.Free. I bought it before learning about the label, but I doubt there's an alternative source for their festival boxes. Perhaps a mixed bag, but plenty of excellent music on this one.
  5. This is a good record. This one came up in another forum thread and I like it a lot.
  6. BTW, I seem to have acquired DG's last copy (for now?) of the album with #2. Happy I got it, plenty of other enjoyable tracks.
  7. Really interesting on #11. I once heard Jack play a live recital on piano, but would never have guessed him here. Didn't recognize the guitarist: briefly considered sleuthing under Abercrombie, he being the most likely suspect, but his ECM discography is too big so I didn't follow up.
  8. Next Monday I'm going to see the Bill Evans documentary Time Remembered in a (newfangled with hi-tech sound system) cinema.
  9. More added today: MEV, Terry Riley and Freedom. I'm cribbing from DG's site. Checked cdjapan yesterday and none of the titles showed. I have no other Japanese source of info.
  10. The little I've heard of Andrew Imbrie I liked quite a bit. Granted he's in the "academic composer" genre and those people tend to blur together. Long ago I heard a concert in Merkin Hall, NYC...ISTR he was the featured composer, but am not sure. I still have this CD, which is rather good.
  11. DG offers preorder on this, CD and vinyl Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with DG, but closely watch their inventory.
  12. New batch seems to be in the pipeline for preorder. I see: AEC #29 Dave Burrell #30 Sunny Murray #32 Grachan Moncur III #33 Dewey Redman #34 Frank Wright #36 Sonny Sharrock #37
  13. I like Charlie a lot, but will hope (if I don't forget) that it materializes at Amazon or discogs sellers. Looks like too sketchy a label for "the bastards" to stock.
  14. Put it this way...I sleuthed an "Intuition Records" subsite of the Schott Music site. There was a column on the left of featured artists with checkboxes. I checked the "Charlie Mariano" box and was whisked to a totally non sequitur page of classical music projects...in other words, this s**t has come from the Twilight Zone and I wrote it off.
  15. I wanna see it! I googled and got a couple of hits with full-length video, but they seem to be Russian pirate websites and I'm afraid to click on the links. DG is showing a number of upcoming Ultra-Vybe CD soundtrack releases from bizarre and cheesy Japanese films. This isn't the only interesting one.
  16. Me too. Graphics look like it'll be the original German record company Intuition. Apparently a subsidiary of Schott, I found some pages on Schott's website but they were unusable. US release looks like a ? to me. Amazon has one US $ seller of the 2003 release FWIW.
  17. This is a reissue. Hope it gets some US distribution, as no discogs offerings of the original 2003 release are priced in US $.
  18. Not trying to be a smartass and no disrespect intended to anyone, but does that qualify as "on a label"?
  19. Press release says "Changu Records". But the only titles discogs shows on that label are two prior Jaleel Shaw albums.
  20. Yosuke Yamashita film music. From what looks to be a super-weird 1972 Japanese film. Ecstasy of the Angels / Tenshi no kokotsu (1972) | Japanonfilm
  21. I had figured ezz-thetics dropping tracks from CD reissues was just a way to fit 2 LPs on 1 CD. Interesting theory about the PD claim fiddle. I also avoid those dodgy ezz-thetics reissues on ethical (IMO) grounds, but do own 2 (Ayler and Marion Brown) purchased used on this forum.
  22. In the cello category, Dave Holland's Life Cycles is pretty good. I don't think I own any full solo bass albums. In the modern/avant sector, a lot of solo bass entails heavy use of extended techniques, which IMO comes off a lot better live.
