Plus I’ll comment that Ramon Lopez is simply over the top amazing on the 2018 collection. 

What record is this?

Had a cursory listen to some of the CDs from the Barry Guy Not Two boxes. This Percy Pursglove guy is something else.

I assume this is just a CD in a CD box set, in which case it is a double no for me (technology and listening preferences), but let me know if it is also free standing as I love Pursglove.

Barry Guy 5 CD box set recorded in 2018 in Krakow on Not Two records

Thanks! As expected.

Not a release but a live show last night

led by William Winant

first set good with Zeena Parkins, the amazing Dunkelman sisters & Ikue Mori

second set a trio with Winant (mostly on drums) with Ava Mendoza and the incredible, spectacular Ches Smith on drums & his genius level laptop electronics. Two 23-24 minute improvisations. I cannot explain to anyone how powerful this was. Explosive. Peak after peak. Blistering blazing hot.

Bought this just-released CD at (excellent) Butcher - Buck - Stangl concert the other day, and it's very nice stuff:

Andrea Centazzo is offering Ictus CDs at $1.50 per when you buy 10. My total was $24 with shipping, you can't go wrong:

Ordered 10 CD’s / I have none of these Ictus CD’s. Took a swipe at 10 that looked good!!

I see the catalog, but not the offer.  I'll have to see if I have some of the Steve Lacy sides

The offer is across the bottom of the page.

[randyhersom]

Thanks, 15 selected.  Steve Lacy, Perry Robinson, Marilyn Crispell, Rova, Derek Bailey, Don Preston and Joe Giardullo are the collaborators I went with.

[jazzbo]

I ordered 12. They won't make any money off this offer.

[randyhersom]

Converting slow moving back stock into cash may be worthwhile as they move to a more Bandcamp centered strategy.

Not going mention any right now but the number of great new releases I’ve heard is overwhelming this past year. Most jazz listeners are simply missing out. Seems most here (not on this thread) simply don’t give a shit about the truly exciting new music being recorded and being performed live for the past 5-10 years.

I also ordered 12: all of the Steve Lacy's, the Don Preston, the 70's one with Gunther Hampel, and three others just as curiosities.  Will see what the fill rate is, but I can't go too far wrong with $27.60 to a good cause.

Issue for me is that the new music of the past 5-10 or even 12/15 years is often incredibly different and of a truly new vibe and structure. Whether it is compositionally based or freely improvised, much of it is stunning in its execution and creativity. Most people who are supposed learned listeners haven’t any idea of what’s been happening. Old & new, young & fresh, new voices & instrumentation, etc.

I also went for the offer, ordered 11, most recognizable Crispell and the 6 Lol Coxhill titles. No idea about the fill rate...website implies out-of-stock items are produced on demand (CD-R?), but not sure that'll apply to the sale. Certainly no beef with CD-R at these prices.

Granted none of these really qualify as new releases, but it's a step...

Website also indicated that out of stock items for this offer would be filled with "similar items".  Reminds me of the very early 70's Record Club of America scheme, where, if they were out of stock on an item you ordered, they just sent something else instead.  But in this case, hard to go too far wrong.  BTW, I also ordered the Crispell in my bunch.  Coxhill gets so weird so often, I shied away from his titles.

I figured that @$1.50 per disc I can deal with (and even expect) weirdness. 😄

For instance, went for the strange-looking Bang! by Roberto Zorzi because of the sidemen (Berne, Feldman, Robertson, Previte). The Einstein's Cosmic Messengers DVD looks interesting (I'm a science buff), but I doubted DVDs were included in the offer so didn't think to include it.

Same here.  I like Feldman and Previte quite a lot quite often.

I liked the clip I listened to, but somewhat dread hearing Dazed and Confused. Hope it's not a Zeppelin cover. 🤨

[Chuck Nessa]

I already have a dozen titles in the 30th Anniversary Box, but I ordered another 23.
