Misterioso

I might be wrong, but I think this is a mono recording. I am listening to it right now, pressing the mono button on my preamp makes no difference. Surprising for a 2023 recording. Great music nevertheless!

Some interesting and entertaining memories from Kirk Lightsey: KIRK LIGHTSEY TELLS HIS STORY | Coming & Going Sorry if this has been posted before.

Sorry for the tiny size. I don't know how to post a picture in decent size given the < 100kB restriction.

Arrived in good condition and ripped to my hard disc so that I can access them via Roon: Thanks to Matt and everyone involved in this huge project.

Same here.

RIP Blue Velvet is among my favourite movies.

Well, here is one of those subscribers. It seemed like a sensible thing to do at that time to save on postage costs to Australia.

Nina Simone - Little Girl Blue (2015 Analogue Productions reissue)

Same here, still waiting.

RIP Two favorites:

What an incredible actress she was. Will be watching A Woman Under the Influence in her memory tonight. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyn3p853k5o

RIP. What a loss for the jazz world. Forever grateful for his immense contributions.

Got the SHM CD version from Yamano Music in Ginza today. A birthday gift to myself. They had plenty of stock there. Can’t listen to it until my return to Australia, I am afraid.

Solo Brötzmann

An article in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/peter-brotzmann-legend-of-free-jazz-dies-at-82 "he died peacefully in his sleep at home in Wuppertal" Sorry, posted simultaneously.

This is sad news. No other artist meant as much to me as Peter Brötzmann. I will miss him dearly. RIP

I wasn't sure whether I should subscribe. Your arguments won me over. Plus the potential to save on postage with combined international shipping. Moderator, Would it make sense to combine this thread with the one for the first volume to just have a single thread for the whole PAPA series?

The Horace Tapscott Quintet CD on the Mr Bongo label states "Licensed from Flying Dutchman Archives". I just read that Bob Thiele's son (Bob Thiele Jr.) is reviving the Flying Dutchman label. I wonder whether he owns the rights to the label's back catalog as well.

Very much looking forward to this set. Interesting article, @romualdo. I am glad Horace Tapscott eventually agreed to record The Giant is Awakened for Flying Dutchman. I love this record, even though Tapscott was apparently not too pleased with the outcome. Jonathan Horwich's IPI release of this record is to die for.

Try to see them whenever they play in Melbourne. Always interesting. The double bill with the Art Ensemble of Chicago was special. My last pre-Covid concert.

Peter Brötzmann turns 80 today! May he enjoy his life in good health.

Turned out to be a CD-R Lesson learned, I returned it to amazon.
