Paying up for digital music is THE WORST, however, for a brilliant, independent maverick, it seems appropriate. I went for Henry Kaiser's "It's A Wonderful Life" ($5.99 emusic). Never on CD, and a great headphone experience anyway. Highly recommended.

Roscoe Mitchell and The Note Factory: Far Side (ECM)

Duke Ellington: Unknown Session (Columbia)

Louis Smith: Silvering (Steeplechase) - Recorded with Von Freeman & Von Freeman's group. Chuck steered me to this inadvertantly (at least I believe it was inadvertant). Never knew it existed til then & I'm looking forward to hearing it.

[Chuck Nessa]

Louis was "bewildered" by Von.

Louis was "bewildered" by Von.

Listened to it today. Sounds as if Von Freeman was truly up for this date, and Louis Smith plays well also. Their ways of playing are different, to be sure, but I can't say that I heard any signs of conflict. Louis Smith seems to go his own way and there isn't as much interaction as I might have expected. Perhaps that's the "bewidered " part of it. I enjoyed the music.

I see that Louis Smith also recorded a duo album with Jodie Christian for Steeplechase. I'm assuming that this was recorded around the same time as Silvering. The music on the clips sounds rather morose, but one can't always judge correctly from listening to snippets.

I was watching that auction, and almost bid myself, but my economic reality set in. I'm glad it went to a good home - congrats.

[sidewinder]

The Keynote set is very good - congrats !

Just won an original vinyl copy of Chitinous Ensemble 'Chitinous' (Deram) tonight on the 'bay'. This one has eluded me on vinyl for years, although I have the CD.

I haven't been buying anything recently so I made up for it in an end-of-year splurge on five CDs, all of which have generated a lot of enthusiasm among critics and fans:

Cassandra Wilson, Silver Pony: I like her more and more.

Tarbaby, The End of Fear: Orrin Evans/Eric Revis/Nasheet Waits with strong guest stars (Oliver Lake, Nicholas Payton and J.D. Allen).

Sam Newsome, Blue Soliloquy: solo soprano sax.

Randy Weston and his African Rhythms Sextet, Storyteller: Sounds very promising, with Lewis Nash on drums.

Kenny Werner, New York Love Songs: solo piano.

Ought to be a good mix. Supposedly they'll cross the Atlantic before Christmas, but I won't hold my breath.

I saw Tarbaby in person recently & bought that CD.

It's a good one.

Today I bought the 3 CD set Baby How Can It Be.

[AndrewHill]

Nice little used cd haul at my fav cd exchange:

Cannonball Adderley Quintet-Live in Japan-Capitol Jazz

But the $1 bin turned out to be the real treasure trove:

Mel Rhyne-Remembering Wes-Savant

Teddy Charles-Dances with Bulls-Smalls Records

But the real find was Harold Land-Xocia's Dance on Muse...for a dollar!!! The disc is a little rough and the booklet is kinda crinkled, but it sure beats the $37.50 they're asking for on Amazon!
