A Lark Ascending Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 I've decided to get the Norma Winstone. Still my favourite Norma disc...and I'm a major Norma fan. As opposed to a Norma Major fan? No, like John I prefer Edwina!!!!!!!! Quote

Alexander Hawkins Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 I'm totally into 'Norma Lamont sings Stormy Wednesday'. Quote

John L Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 ECM is the new West Coast! Atlantic West Coast, although not very new anymore. Quote
David Ayers Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 These ECM LPs have been and gone for me, but I *will* be picking up Gnu High (to replace a damaged vinyl copy) and I'd recommend it. I would be curious to see some of the as yet unissued-on-CD JAPOs as well as improv style ECMs. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks for your suggestions, guys! I plan to pick up at least four, but I have decided to wait until after I have finished my Christmas shopping, to make sure there is enough money in the bank! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 I would be curious to see some of the as yet unissued-on-CD JAPOs as well as improv style ECMs. No shit - that NEEDS to happen. Barre Phillips' For All It Is should be the first in such a series. Quote
David Ayers Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 These ECM LPs have been and gone for me, but I *will* be picking up Gnu High (to replace a damaged vinyl copy) and I'd recommend it. Uhh - well I did pick it up but on revisiting I find it no longer needs to be part of my life... Quote
sal Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Lester Bowie's "The Great Pretender" might be my favorite one that I've purchased so far. What an album! Really enjoying this series overall. Quote
Sundog Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 Any word on the continuation of this series in 2009? I assume it was fairly successful. Quote
ejp626 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 If I didn't already have Gnu High, that would be the first one I would pick up. I think I found this used at Jazz Record Mart here in Chicago. I found that many if not all of these Touchstone CDs are still available as Amazon MP3s (even if the CD had gone out of print), and in some cases quite reasonable (under $8), so that might be the route to go, esp. if you don't want to wait until Sept. I think these are the ones I will pick up: John Surman - Private City Ralph Towner - Solstice John Abercrombie / Dave Holland / Jack DeJohnette - Gateway Ralph Towner - Batik I'm a little on the fence about Jan Garbarek - I Took Up The Runes. Any thoughts? I'll probably just download these from Amazon: John Abercrombie/Ralph Towner - Sargasso Sea Tomasz Stanko - Balladyna John Abercrombie - Animato So not quite as huge an order as I originally anticipated. Borders was having a fairly impressive in-store sale today (30% off all CDs), and I picked up 4 - Gateway, Balladyna, Sargasso Sea and Dave Holland's Extension. I don't think they had the Towners in stock. So I was pretty consistent, but I decided I wasn't that into solo sax (Private City) and that Animato sounded way too New Agey. If I have a chance, I will check out one other Borders to see if they have the Towner titles, and then I think I will be done. Quote

Sloppy news editing there ... anyway, some albums in the new batch that I either have on LP (means they don't get much play) or not at all: George Adams, Mike Nock, David Torn, Louis Sclavis, Barre Phillips and Kenny Wheeler are the ones I bought (several others I have in previous editions).

bluesoul Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Looks like the 50 titles will be released in two batches. This site lists the other 25 which they say will be available in May. Quote
