William Parker 6 cd box set on NoBusiness

[Stefan Wood]

Got the email this morning:

William Parker Centering Unreleased early recordings 1976-1987

I'm all over this.

[Matthew]

I like that there is a lot of Daniel Carter in this box set, count me as a huge Carter fan.

[Face of the Bass]

Do we know when it is being released?

[Stefan Wood]

End of this month.

[clifford_thornton]

Can't wait.

[PHILLYQ]

Shipped to the US it's about $84

[.:.impossible]

Lithuania. Interesting!

[colinmce]

I'll just add this to the list of oh, everything else this label has put out that I'll never be able to afford.

[johnlitweiler]

Can't afford them all but it would be great to have the big-band disk with Charles Tyler.

[paul secor]

Cadence carries NoBusiness, so perhaps it will be easier for U.S. buyers to get this from them.

[relyles]

I have a couple of the sets from this label and my experience has been that they are typically a worthwhile investment if you are a fan of the music the label focuses on.

[Stefan Wood]

DG will get them, but this is an excellent label and all the reissues have been great (Muntu, Billy Bang, etc.)

[Head Man]

DG will get them, but this is an excellent label and all the reissues have been great (Muntu, Billy Bang, etc.)

Service was excellent but I must confess that I wasn't too keen on this album by The Freestyle Band I bought from them.

[colinmce]

Anyone get the Hemphill/Kowald? That's one I want for sure.

DISC SIX

Centering Dance Music Ensemble 1976 (Dawn Voice)

1. Illuminese/Voice (34:07)

2. Falling Shadows (13:06)

3. Dawn/Face Still, Hands Folded (30:52)

Rozanne Levine (clarinet); Malik Baraka, John Mingione (trumpet); Billy Bang, Ramsey Ameen (violin); William Parker (bass, recitation); Ellen Christi (voice); with Patricia Nicholson

Is this the only documentation of Ameen's playing outside of his work with Cecil Taylor? If so (and probably still so even if not), a major contribution to the discography.

I thought he was on a DAAGNIM record, I know he came to town ca. 1978-79 and we rehearsed and recorded at least one gig, but looking on the shelves, I don't see anything, so I guess not.

Not updated since 2004, though.

Have had the LP for years and it's a favorite. Different strokes for different folks.

Ah, I seem to recall much the same now that you mention it.

A swerve into pure mathematics... fascinating!

Thanks for that info. Some interesting ensembles there.

I know...I bought it on your recommendation.

[clifford_thornton]

Oops!

[Face of the Bass]

Picked up a copy of this at the Vision Festival last night for $70. Very much looking forward to listening to it. Kind of wondering if the first track on the first disc is a tribute to Ingrid Thulin...

[Pete C]

I like that there is a lot of Daniel Carter in this box set, count me as a huge Carter fan.

Sorry I missed THIS; I wasn't aware that TEST is still a going concern. I once stumbled upon them playing on the platform of the Astor Place subway station some years ago and missed several trains.

Yeah, I had I hadn't heard anything about them in years. I do prefer Other Dimensions in Music, though.

[Stefan Wood]

Received the box last night. As usual from this company, a real thorough job in research and remastering. Music is excellent.
