    This is definitely supplemental to that box rather than a replacement for ti, especially given the annoyances of the BBC announcers (thankfully given their own tracking, so you can program around them), but there's some great stuff on this one also, and it's different enough from the Torrid Zone box. 

    Thanks, good to know. I'll leave it on the want list and hope for a compelling offering.

    I enjoy the Barbara Thompson BBC box and don't have any problem with those BBC announcers...they must get more air time on the Nucleus set.

  2. Thanks for the info, hadn't heard of it.

    Artistically it seems like a no-win proposition, but there's undoubtedly good money to be made.

    That was never my favorite Pink Floyd album and I've heard it too many times over the years, so no interest in acquiring. But I'll listen to a couple of the tunes if available for free.

  3. Good stuff.

    Damn, I have that album and often listen to it! 

    Rare occurrence...our musical preferences don't overlap all that much. 😉

    I'm not sure of the definition of "defiant jazz". Does this work?

    If my memory serves, Chuck was working out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, a very progressive college town where this type of music had a strong following.

    Wish I could have been there then... 

    [emphasis added] As is Ithaca, NY, which was mentioned above.

    Too bad Stereo Jack rarely visits (I hope he's doing well)...he might be able to comment on Bahston, one of the ultimate progressive college towns*.

     

    *Despite what Spinal Tap said. 😉

    Perusing this on bandcamp. Having recently acquired the excellent Alan Skidmore box, it definitely appeals.

    A sensational, previously unheard session by legendary British free jazz saxophonist Mike Osborne, recorded in December 1970 at London's famous 100 Club. From Osborne's personal tape collection. Features two compositions currently thought to be unrecorded in any other setting.

    Lineup:
    Mike Osborne - alto sax
    Alan Skidmore - tenor sax
    Harry Miller - double bass
    Louis Moholo - drums

    This arrived at "The Bastards" (Dusty) today, so I ordered. Much cheaper US shipping that way. Looking forward to it!

    Far more relevant imo is Jann Wenner getting busted for finally saying the quiet part out loud and confirming decades of suspicion. 

     

     

    Damn. One consequence of not paying attention to popular culture is that I don't hear about shit like that. Interesting, I appreciate the info, but not gonna discuss it here.

    How did Muse material end up with BMG? A Cuscuna thing? 

    Strange coincidence...I just purchased (rec'd Saturday) from felser a twofer of 2 of those 3 albums (Fast Last! and Rope-a-Dope) on a 32Jazz reissue (American Gumbo). Even more weirdly, the 2-album American Gumbo and 3-album Mirage compilations were both released in 1999. I don't get it.

    Have we entered out of music and into religion/politics here?

    Sorry, John. No intent.

    I posted the Chinmoy stuff because I had a funny recollection, deleted the post.

    I don't care to comment on the rants, don't know any details.

    I just tried to Google “Santana Trans” — got that far typing, and it suggested these as the top search matches… :ph34r:

    Check out Santana Transmissions!

    https://www.zoominfo.com/c/santana-transmission/1141659779

    https://www.groupon.com/biz/orlando/santana-transmissions

    etc…

    If you Google the character string carlos santana rant, just those alpha characters with no punctuation surrounding them, you'll get more than you could imagine  on the recent trans thing.

     

    If you enclose them in quotation marks, "carlos santana rant", Google will return additional references to a variety of prior rants.

     

    Disclosure: I didn't bother to visit any of the links returned.
