clifford_thornton Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 wonder who else will be in the ensemble. I was hoping for solo but I guess that won't be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy T. Frog Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks Margaret, I meant anyone from this board. I had seen that the Taylor/Oxley concert was sold out some time ago, as it should be. I live in Washington so couldn't get up to the Whitney because of work deadlines. Proud to say I took the train up about 10(?) years ago and saw nearly every set of the big band at Iridium. what a mind blowing experience, every night. Even when the third set one night made me miss the last train of the night and I basically wandered around Manhattan till 5 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyles Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I made it down for the two Saturday performances - Andrew Cyrille, Enrico Rava and William Parker, then the added Cecil performance with Okkyung Lee, Harri Sjöström, Jackson Krall and Tony Oxley (electronics). I also had a ticket for the Friday night when Muntu performed, but regrettably decided not to make the trip down. I'm happy I was able to be a "witness" for the two days I did get down.

clifford_thornton Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I thought Saturday was great. Initially seemed like it would be a trio with Lee and Oxley, but was glad that Krall and Sjöström were on board. Much, much better and more together than the opening concerts were in my estimation.

mjazzg Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Poschiavo is very good. Not aware of the other release/remaster, thanks for the alert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 The reissue of Indent is definitely an improvement over the old Freedom CD (FCD 41038) from the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erwbol Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) 40 minutes ago, clifford_thornton said: Are those Black Sun CDs legit? I am under the impression they are. Indent (on CD) finally gives you the feeling you are listening to a real piano. From their website: Celestial Harmonies, div. of Mayflower Music Corp. has been in business since 1972. The company is affiliated with German music company E.R.P. Musikverlag Eckart Rahn of Berlin. E.R.P. has been in business since 1968, making it one of the oldest, if not the oldest, independent music companies dating from the 1960s, still being operated day-by-day by the founder, with no change of ownership and a catalogue of app. 8,000 copyrights held, both recordings and compositions. For Indent it says in the booklet: "Analog remastering by Jack Ashkinazy, CBS Studios, New York. Digital remastering by Frank Jacobsen, Bremen. Originally released by Cecil Taylor on Unit Core Records. Eckart Rahn supervised the re-issue from the original recording made on reel-to-reel tape at 7 1/2 i.p.s. halftrack stereo to vinyl and later CD." There are both CD and CDr entries for Poschiavo on Discogs. I contacted the label by email last month, and they explained a very small number of review copies were released on CDr while they were waiting for the CDs to arrive from the pressing plant. By now these should all be off the market. I ordered through Amazon and got a real CD. For Indent no CDrs were released.

clifford_thornton Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 yeah, Celestial Harmonies has licensed quite a number of records from other labels over the years. I didn't realize they'd branched out into this kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyhill Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 I am thinking about ordering the Ultra-Vybe cd release of Air Above Mountains from CdJapan, which appears to have track lengths matching the track lengths of the original lp release. I noticed that there was a cd release by Ward Records with longer track lengths. Was the original lp release edited, with the Ward Records release restoring material edited out of the lp release? Ward Records – TKCW-32190, Enja Records – TKCW-3219 Air Above Mountains < Buildings Within > Part One 44:30 Air Above Mountains < Buildings Within > Part Two 31:44 Ultra-Vybe – UVJZ-10043, Enja Records – UVJZ-10043 Air Above Mountains < Buildings Within > Part One25:40 Air Above Mountains < Buildings Within > Part Two25:37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 via Phil Freeman on facebook: Coming in February 2022 - the COMPLETE Town Hall concert from November 1973. The last 40 minutes of the show have been available for decades as Spring Of 2 Blue J's, but the first 90 minutes - a single piece called "Autumn/Parade" - have never been released before. Remastered from the original tapes, with Jimmy Lyons (alto sax), Sirone (bass), and Andrew Cyrille (drums). No pre-order link yet; it's coming out on Oblivion Records, a small label run by Fred Seibert, who engineered the recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romualdo Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) yes at last!! wonder if the "digital" release means download only or will we see physical product? I presume it'll be a CD since there's a 23 page booklet associated with the release The Complete, Legendary, Live Return Concert by Cecil Taylor will be available as a digital release on February 11, 2021 via Oblivion Records. Accompanying the digital release is a 23-page booklet featuring an essay by Alan Goodman. This release marks a revival for Oblivion – the label’s last announced release was in 1975.
