These guys [ François Corneloup (soprano & baritone saxes), Claude Tchamitchian (double bass), Eric Echampard (drums) ] haven't played together for the last 15 years. Really looking forward to attending their reunion concert next week at a fantastic venue in Montreuil, near Paris, and catching u...

Since I'm back (sort of) amongst you all... A little post about my jazz-related activities since my last post on the "JazzCorner Speakeasy" board: I've been continuing operating 'Ayler Records' and 'SansBruit' labels, with varied degrees of success. You can find the Ayler Records releases ...

It's been quite a while. I didn't change that much. I'll hang around at times.

Wow. Listened to this one I picked up at my favorite record store a few days ago with absolutely no idea about who these guys were and what to expect, and I think it's a wonder.
Are others by Lanegan as good?

In between "issues" of Camelot 3000, I'm enjoying this one very much:



Alden Bell - The Reapers Are The Angels

Not that a bad TV week.
Season 3 of Borgen just started here, as well as Season 4 of Downton Abbey.
Still enjoying both very much.

Au contraire, this thing was a blast. I didn't really think about it being a British product, but though it was DC it ...

As undervalued and unappreciated as they come.

Crescent has always been my favorite Coltrane.

Very good one, indeed. Have to browse the shelves to spin it. Meanwhile...

I recently re-bought several Talk Talk CDs that I had previously traded away or had on cassette years ago. I don't think I really appreciated how good they were when I first had them. Right, they're pretty amazing. Too bad it all stopped after Laughing Stock and the solo effort of Mark Hollis. The ...

Some of them I hadn't listened in a while, and was surprised how well they stood the test of time.

Pretty sure this is the first one I recall and can remember asking them to play. http://pmcdn.priceminister.com/photo/555232388_L.jpg http://pmcdn.priceminister.com/photo/849882655_L.jpg And then was this one: http://991.com/newgallery/Thelonious-Monk-Its-Monks-Time-581312.jpg

Apart from some quite tiring hectic editing during some solos, it's a pleasure to watch (and listen to) this band play, especially Ruth Underwood, and the few Bruce Bickford clay animations are pretty good.
A good one!

I almost went for both, but the trunk of the Ferrari was definitely too small to contain all the Zappa discs I own, especially considering that with the 2012 reissues, I have many of them twice now.

Too bad. The first one was quite enjoyeable, iirc.
