Gary Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Has anybody picked up the new Vandermark 5 CD ' Airports of Light' yet ? I'm waiting for mine via airmail , so have to wait for a bit yet . Any initial thoughts from those lucky enough to have it already ? Quote
Stefan Wood Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 This also has a bonus cd, right? I heard there is a live session included. Quote

JohnS Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Gary, Just received mine. First impressions are very good-especially as my wife said what's that noise! That's a recommendation. The Rollins' tunes are well chosen; (The)Bridge/Strode Rode/Freedom Suite/John S/East Broadway Rundown/Alfie Suite(She's Younger than You Are/Little Malcolm Loves His Dad/Street Runner With Child) Quote

A great box , terrible info on the sleeves though. Great comment from the wife ! Could be the start of a new thread - My wife the critic. Best comment from mine , i was playing some Electric Miles whilst in the kitchen , she shouted 'have you got an elephant out there with you ?' Edited March 20, 2003 by Gary Quote

Guest Mnytime Posted March 24, 2003 Report Posted March 24, 2003 John When did you order your copy in relation to when you got it? I still haven't received my copy and I ordered it in the first week it was up on their board. I am starting to think we are better off picking these up from other sources beside Atavistic themselves. I always seem to get my copy a week after I could have gotten it anywhere else no matter when I order it throught Atavistic before it is released. Quote

Its not just me then mine's still not here (i was just about to hit the panic button) Ghost Of Miles, those comments are better than my usual 'Why are you listening to that old man's music ??' My wife HATES jazz . I did get my own back , we have 2 very young kids she spends all day with & she tends to go to bed soon after they do - we were recently shopping , i bought her a cd of her choice which was the new Emenem CD . She gets it home & realise its packed with bad language & she cant play it because the kids are always around ! She hates it -when we get in the car my 2 year old son points to the stereo - when i put jazz on he puts his thumb in his mouth and starts moving his fingers up & down - I cant think where he gets it from!

Clunky Posted March 25, 2003 Report Posted March 25, 2003 (edited) That means, I will get mine in the UK in about 2 weeks Edited March 25, 2003 by Clunky Quote
Jim Dye Posted March 25, 2003 Report Posted March 25, 2003 I received mine yesterday as well. Ordered it on the 20th. Pretty darn quick I say!Haven't given it a spin yet. What's up with the tiny cursive font they use? VERY hard to read.... I'm gettin' old. Quote
Gary Posted March 25, 2003 Author Report Posted March 25, 2003 That means, I will get mine in the UK in about 2 weeks It shouldnt be too long - I'm in the UK also Quote
Clunky Posted March 25, 2003 Report Posted March 25, 2003 Not long at all, arrived today will digest and report back Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted March 26, 2003 Report Posted March 26, 2003 I got mine today. It guess it doesn't matter when you order it before the official release date. For those in the Los Angeles area that still hasn't ordered this disc. A friend picked up his copy from Amoeba in Hollywood today and they are selling the 2CD Vandermark for $15.15 with tax. Quote

Maybe it's a re-pressing? Quote
JohnS Posted March 27, 2003 Report Posted March 27, 2003 Mnytime, Sorry I didn't repond to your post. I've had a few days In old Europe (Berlin) and this is the first time I've had a chance to catch up with the board. I put in an advance order to Atavistic about three weeks prior to the release date. They must have posted on the day it came out. USPS and Royal Mail did the rest-bless em. Four days from Chicago to the south of England, pretty good I'd say. Quote
Green Dolphin Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 I must apologise but I've been in a bit of a KV can do no wrong phase for a while.He's likely to do it sometime I concede but not so far,this set's a beauty and I've still to get to the Rollins tribute disc!!! Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 (edited) Really enjoy this release. I listened to it twice already today. I prefer this one to their last release Acoustic Machine. I like the new drummer and look forward to future releases once he and the other members get to know each other even better. The Rollins covers really smoke. While I enjoyed David Ware's take on The Freedom Suite on his last release I prefer the Vandermark 5 version better. Though both don't compare to the Rollins original version. But that really is not a fair comparison. It is also interesting to hear the V5 version of East Broadway Rundown in comparison to the DKV version on Trigonometry. To top it off, while I was at the Atavistic site ordering the upcoming Brotzmann and Schlippenbach releases for April, I discovered that V5 will be touring the West Coast in a couple of months!! Hot Damn! The dates and location have not been announced yet but they will be between June 1st and July 1st of this year. Though I should not get to excited knowing our luck in Los Angeles they most likely won't come near here. Edited March 28, 2003 by Mnytime Quote
