John,

I could not resist and padded a DGA order w/ the disc titled "Abstractions" (NJRmwng) from Wewerka.

The title * "Blue Fanfare" weighs in at 10:19. All others are nearly the same with a few extra seconds on each.

I am glad to have these LPs, but its a real drag to know that they were scissored up by a producer. Oh well.

I was just sent this by a friend in England. It is an obituary that appeared there; much more detailed than any of the previous ones posted on here.

the uncut version of Ramwong is available on CD here

The CD MwGArm mentions apparantly has an alternate take of Blue Fanfare. These Wewerka discs are a bit of a hassle to come by though.

DAMN IT!!! I completely missed this one. I been listening to more Mangelsdorff of late and did a search on AMG and there it was - died July 25, 2005. Came over here and it seems I missed this entire thread. Another giant gone without getting to see them perform! Aw man!

Thanks (belatedly) for the music Albert.

Too busy hanging out on the politics threads, Johnny E.?

Of course, that beats out hanging on the Organissimo Forums "jazz vulture/deathwatch" threads.

It can get depressing around here sometimes.

Tonight everyone should purchase John Lewis & Albert Mangelsdorff: Animal Dance.

Is this on CD now? It took me what seemed like forever to find the vinyl. It is on Atlantic I think. (LPs are upstairs)

Not a lot of love for Collectables cd's around here, but this was released in 1999:
