jlhoots Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 I bought the Berger / Knuffke. I'm tempted by that one but wonder whether the 2CDs is too much for a duet. I'd be interested in your views, if you've time It's on the way to me from Dusty Groove. I'll report back once I have it. FWIW, I really like Knuffke. O.K. - got it. I think it's very nice. Knuffke is in fine form. Berger plays piano as well as vibes. As they say what's not to like. Quote

Wanted to let folks know that my long-awaited recording, Pomegranate, on New Atlantis Records, will arrive during the first week of June 2015. Pre-order is already available on a number of sites (e.g., Downtown Music Gallery). Content is winging it's way to critics/writers, and I am in the midst of mailing packages to 100 Indiegogo supporters. Re: the delay - long story short - we opted to move the release back a bit in order to better utilize a special promotion effort on the part of our domestic/international distributors.

Tania Giannouli Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 For those of you who ask me where they can get my new album "Transcendence" (with Tania Giannouli Ensemble, released by Rattle records, New Zealand) and who might think that NZ is very far away: :: You can order it from the music portal www.el-culto.com. European customers will have their order delivered very fast. By ordering the CD you will additionally get the full album as a download in the format of your choice in highest quality (mp3 or FLAC) :: You can pay via several ways: Bank transfer (free of charge if based in Europe), credit card, pay pal.

niels Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Coming out soon on NotTwo, very exited about this one! Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Coming out soon on NotTwo, very exited about this one! Yeah baby!!! Plus look at that very cool picture/cover of the band!! Quote
colinmce Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Posted June 9, 2015 Looks good! Also a new Resonance Ensemble forthcoming. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 http://matchlessrecordings.com/node/474 Seems to be available now but the price plus shipping from the label is running just under $68. I'll wait and assume Squidco will have a bit of a better deal. I getting this Apparently this a deluxe book/CD/DVD thing so $70 is the actual price. More than I'd prefer to spend on 3CDs but I will get around to it one day. Squidco does have it now. Want it. Quote
peterintoronto Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Noticed Squidco was out of stock of 3 Nights at Cafe Oto so I ordered directly from the label. Much cheaper too! In my experience, things like this go OOP quickly. Quote
colinmce Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 Louis Moholo-Moloho has a new one on Ogun with an Italian group that features, among others, Pino Minafra and Roberto Ottoviano. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/755446 Quote

xybert Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 New Darius Jones coming Aug.21st Darius Jones - Le Bebe De Brigitte (Lost In Translation) Interesting, looks like it's coming out on Aum. Wonder if they'll be releasing anything else around that time; i'd love a new album from Eri Yamamoto. Quote
peterintoronto Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 A little rich for my blood, but maybe just what your loft-space lacks? http://eremite.com/album/bro-6 Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I was thinking about that but am okay with the LP as it exists (and have a couple of nice Brötzmann gig prints kicking around already). Quote
corto maltese Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I'm tempted, but, alas, I don't own a loft. Quote

On that day, they will also release a new William Parker 3 CD box, on which Eri Yamamoto will also be playing: http://news.allaboutjazz.com/william-parker-3-cd-box-set-of-new-works-to-be-released-august-21-on-aum-fidelity.php Edited June 17, 2015 by niels Quote
colinmce Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 I think I'll pass on the Parker ... Quote
jlhoots Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I think I'll pass on the Parker ... I'm not sure. Quote

jcam_44 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I'll see what the price point for the Parker is. Sounds interesting enough Quote
corto maltese Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I've seldom been as disappointed as I was by "The Inside Songs of Curtis Mayfield". I remember an online review (Popmatters IIRC) about a match made in heaven turning into a disaster, exactly expressing my feeling about the project. Since then I'm a little more cautious with William Parker's new releases. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 For those who don't have Wood Flute Songs, please get that FIRST Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I thought Wood Flute Songs was incredibly boring. Really love Parker's playing but I am not sure his group concept is where I'm at these days - a lot of it is probably due to Drake, whom I'm not particularly into 80% of the time (but that other 20% can be sublime). Quote
niels Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Yes, the Wood Flute Songs box is essential stuff for me. I have to say that the premise of the new box set, doesn't really spark my enthusiasm so that will definately not be a release that I will buy blind. I'm more interested in the Darius Jones in that regard. Quote

Different strokes As in forever, I can listen to Hamid play with most anyone and be energized. I like the quartet. I like Barnes and I really like Rob Brown Quote
