I never really spent time with later Pentangle, but have and adore all the Transatlantic/Reprise albums.

yes, I've heard the UK to US line seems to be open as of late.

Yes indeed. Love this one, too:

I'm wondering if shipping via FedEx, DHL, UPS might improve the odds of getting what one ordered. For what it is worth, the customs harmonization code for LPs/45s is 85238090 / 85238010 The harmonization code for CDs is 85234920 going forward, these numbers might be useful to provide sellers when shipping stuff to the US.

Oh no! RIP. A master.

no clue!

Haha! He is very much a real person.

Insane. That seems like way more than what it should be.

I’ve seen Ingrid many times. She’s a force to be reckoned with!

Good call on the Rivers sessionography; I don’t have the physical book though the online version is easy enough to check into.

Putting this here for anyone who is interested… via the JazzBoston Hot Club which Bill Goldberg directs. 7pm ET tonight https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86215122439?pwd=ZHA5bnpWVFNFVXkxRE01K1I1aWhvZz09

Excellent Unit.

Replace “annoyed” with “frankly pissed” and I am with you. Total BS.

The Whitney Museum of American Art, February 1969 (before 2/15 but after 2/8, not sure the exact date). Amsterdam, 11/7/69 -- Concertgebouw, it looks like, though my mind was telling me Paradiso... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_national_de_l'audiovisuel

yes indeed! Bought that one like 25 years ago from Paris Jazz Corner... ah, memories.

A little bird tells me that Resonance are doing a Cecil/INA set, which I understand to be the 1969 Fondation Maeght recordings. I have the Shandar LPs and am wondering if there is additional, unreleased music from that concert (or if there was another concert than the 29 July '69 "Second Act of A" performance)... there is, of course, circulating material from other gigs by the same quartet.

looks like it is paywalled for other folks, so if you *do* want to read it in full (and aren't sure if you want to subscribe), please send me a pm.

Folks here might find this interesting: https://bombmagazine.org/articles/2025/09/15/richard-dickie-landry-by-clifford-allen/ Dickie is, in my mind, a national treasure.

awesome!

I checked in on a record collectors’ forum and it seems like LPs are getting returned to origin country right and left. These should, of course, be exempt. Total chaos.

I got something from S Korea without issue, surprisingly, via EMS. It was one book & several CDs. A lot of EU countries are not shipping anything to the US, which is surprising considering the tariffs are greater on non-European goods. It’s all enraging to be honest.

Very interesting piece, thanks for alerting us to it!

RIP. This clip is a favorite:

I would assume that anything folded into the UME jazz bucket could conceivably get a Tone Poet release. PJ/World Pacific was part of Liberty/Transamerica from the late 1960s, which also owned Blue Note, and of course BN bought some of the Transition masters as well. Solid State was a Liberty/Transamerica imprint, too. So it all makes good sense to me.

👍 I am hopeful but unsure if that concert was recorded...
