J.A.W. Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) The CDs are only £2 each (about $3.20 or €2.45 at today's exchange rates), but the minimum order is 10 CDs and you can only order 10 or 20 or 30 etc. CDs. Edited October 22, 2012 by J.A.W. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 Doesn't start till November 1, or am I wrong? Quote

romualdo Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Leo did the same thing late last year I bought a truckload of CDs from him last time - probably do the same again this year trying out Simon Nabatov with my first order - any advice from fans out there Quote

I am not familiar with his later stuff. Quote
king ubu Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 The former is part of the sale (and looks interesting - I missed last year's sale, btw), the later is OOP, I think. Quote
David Ayers Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Can't be ten I want, but there might be if the website showed more information about each CD - at least personnel listings. Quote

If you click on the link with the catalog number, you'll be brought to a page-specific release. Many of those list personnel. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 Cool, looking forward to diving into this sale. Quote

GregK Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 So do I want that braxton solo piano box? Quote
colinmce Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Sure. His piano music is nice to me: neither Cecilesque free nor modern classical dry. Just Braxton. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Put in an order. Wanted to point out for the curious that the William Parker/Joelle Leandre cds are outstanding, wonderful duo bass music. Edited November 2, 2012 by Stefan Wood Quote
Matthew Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Any thoughts on The Golden Years of Soviet New Jazz? I've always been intrigued by these box sets. Quote
B. Clugston Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Any thoughts on The Golden Years of Soviet New Jazz? I've always been intrigued by these box sets. They are worth it, even at full price. An interesting shelf-clearing exercise of unreleased tapes and old Leo lps. At least one disc per box set is excellent. I highly recommend the Guyvoronsky/Volkov, Homo Liber, Orkestrion, Chekasin and Vysniauskas discs. Some interesting stuff on the Andrew Solovyev/Igor Grigoriev and Vapirov discs as well. Quote
Swinger Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 I have promised myself not to buy anything but I couldn't resist this wonderful sale so I ordered 40 cds , including all those Golden Years of the Soviet New Jazz (vol 1-4). I will buy more in December if there are any interesting cds left. 40 cds delivered to Finland only around 146 Euros. What a bargain Quote
romualdo Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Put in an order. Wanted to point out for the curious that the William Parker/Joelle Leandre cds are outstanding, wonderful duo bass music. yep!! ordered "Contrabasses" in my most recent order - have to agree with Stefan Quote

I consider these 4 sets essential documents of late 20th century Soviet jazz/improv, especially vols I (Kuryokhin, Ponomareva, Vapirov) & IV (Ganelin members) Get these while you can, especially at these prices Quote
Stefan Wood Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) The Soviet jazz discs are an acquired taste -- I'll probably be the only dissenting voice on those sets. But then again, I am not a fan of the Ganelin group either. I always found the Leo records catalogue to be daunting to explore, because of many of the artists on their label. One of the artists I did take a chance on are the Actis Band -- sounds like right up my alley for genre bending musical gynmastics. Or musical turrets...... The Golden Years series, on the other hand, are no brainers. The Jazz Bunker, African Tapes, Cassava Balls and the Sun Ras are all must haves. I was mildly tempted by the Anthony Braxtons but to be honest, his Arista years are the high points for me. Perhaps someone can set me straight on the Leos. Snakish featuring Wadadah Leo Smith looks promising, so I ordered a copy. All the Fonda/Stevens Group discs are recommended, but I prefer the FAB trio more (Billy Bang and Barry Altschul!!). Any other recommendation? Edited November 3, 2012 by Stefan Wood Quote
Hoppy T. Frog Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Put in an order. Wanted to point out for the curious that the William Parker/Joelle Leandre cds are outstanding, wonderful duo bass music. How do you order? I was putting 10 cds in the PayPal cart, but when the time came to "send" the money, no discount was applied. Quote

I directly email Leo Feigin with my list (plus some alternatives JIC) - he has my CC details Leo Feigin <leorecords@blueyonder.co.uk> Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Just Paypal the amount to Leo's email address, and list the CDs you want in the message text by catalog number. Quote
