Wow, there's more tension in this thread than on the Plugged Nickel set itself 😂 Seriously, though, it is very odd that the music has not been re-released on CD or LP since the boxed set/doorstop as far as I can tell. I have fond memories of first hearing some of it at my aunt's house (she used to post here), when I was first getting interested in jazz. The band was on fire and their collective search is riveting. I bought the set used, eventually, for a price that was not too insurmountable. Miles' 100th is next year, and maybe we can expect some of these boxes to come back into circulation.

re: Judson Hall, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/165_West_57th_Street scroll down to "1950s to present"

That’s excellent news. I only have a rip from an older CD reissue.

yeah, that is believable. The materials should be tariff-free, of course, but without actual direction from the "top," it's anyone's guess what would be applied and how...

Isn't 25% greater than the current tariff on non raw-material goods from Japan to the US, anyway?

oh, it's definitely too many, but probably a fraction of what someone such as Mr. Nessa had at peak volume!

Very nice. I don't really have vinyl on the walls but I do have walls of vinyl. When I lived in an apartment in NYC, I had floor-to-ceiling walls of records, bolted to the load-bearing axes so as not to cause structural damage. Now that I am in a free-standing house, I had to be a bit more strategic about where the weight is placed, so the custom modular units are a bit more spread out. Given the amount of records, I was told by a structural engineer not to have them all in one room or there'd be hell to pay. 😂

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.
