Subject: Cadence shopping list

I thought I'd give this a try. I've done my bi-annual
"complete-read" of the Cadence catalogue and narrowed
down what most intrigues me to the list below. I'm curious 
if anyone cares to comment on any or all, especially if you 
know an item is great, or to be avoided. Some of the cheaper
items seem like a real bargain. Most of these I 
have not heard at all. And, of course, I can in no way 
afford the whole kaboodle. I think the Braxton "Trio/Duet" 
is already well recommended by recent discussion, and I know 
that the Butch Morris question was very recently discussed 
(at my prompting), but I've forgotten the concensus. Finally, 
please, nothing on the issue of personal tastes and the 
impossibility of recommending things to strangers.If I act on 
a recommendation and am disappointed, I've got no one to blame 
but myself.

In order of appearance in the catalogue:
    
Ronald Shannon Jackson--"Eye on You"  (About Time $7)
Joseph Jarman/Don Moye Magic Triangle--"Calypso Smile" (AECO $15)
George Russell Big Band w/B. Evans 1/60 (Affinity $6)
John Carter 8tet--"Dauwhe" (BlackSaint $9/$14)
Muhal Richard Abrams--"Rejoicing w/the Light" (BlackSaint $14)
Anthony Braxton--"6 Monk Compositions" (BlackSaint $14)
Dewey Redman 4tet--"Living...(full title not here)" (BlSaint $14)
D Murray--"Ballads" (DIW $17)
John Stubblefield 5tet w/G. Allen--"Bushman Song" (Enja $5)
John Stubblefield 5tet w/H. Bluett--"Countin' on the Blues" (Enja $5)
Paul Bley w/Marshall Allen--"Barrage" (ESP $8/$12)
Sun Ra Arkestra--"Sunrise in Different Dimensions" (HatArt $16) 
M Waldron/S Lacy--"Snake Out" (HatMusics $6.50)

Lennie Tristano 5tet w/Marsh/Konitz--"Live Toronto 7/1/52" (Jazz $13)
S Murray/D Murray/M Favors--"live 6/3/79" (Moers $16)

: Well, gotta be differnt, I guess. I don't like Irene Aebi's

Yeah, well, now that you mention it, I find her violin playing less tolerable
than her singing.  The vocals are at least distinctive, even if they don't seem
to fit in at all with what the rest of the group is doing.  The violin,
however, adds absolutely nothing, for me, and seems completely superfluous.

People have said the live Sweet Basil's album is too deliberately
straightahead, which might be why her singing seems so out of place.  Perhaps
in other contexts it fits better?

While I do enjoy her voice, I too would be happier not to hear it in that
particular group, at least not doing the kind of music they do on that album.

When I was in Los Angeles and visited Rhino Records, I was surprised to
see Richard Grossman (who recently released a fine CD ``In the Air'' with the
late John Carter) behind the counter.  He did autograph his CD (or, at least,
the booklet in his CD) for me.

One of the jazz stores I visit in Pittsburgh (Record Rubble) is staffed by
Alan Bargebuhr, a jazz critic for Cadence (and who is, incidentally, quoted 
numerous times in the Mosaic catalogue.)

If you want to here Joe Henderson play some really good music, this is
a fine choice. But I'd strongly recommend his STATE OF THE TENOR VOL I
(Blue Note), VOL II, AN EVENING WITH JOE HENDERSON (Red Records), or
one of the old Blue Notes (such as MODE FOR JOE) first.

All of these are better music (IMHO) and fine sound quality. LUSH LIFE
is also good music, but is considered an "audiophile" recording, which
is probably why Stereo Review gave it such a great review.

Now, if you have the others, then go for Lush Life next....

Absolutely! Along with _Kind of Blue_, and _Blues and the Abstract Truth_,
I've always felt that _Ah Um_ was great stuff for the "jazz clueless", as
Gidi would call them.;-)

I would also add to the Mingus list, _Oh Yeah!_. Mingus doesn't play bass on

of Booker Ervin and Rashan Roland Kirk. Check out "Devil Woman".

I haven't heard Joe Henderson's "Lush Life," but it got a good review in
Down Beat
a few months ago.

The J. J. Johnson "Standards" album is from a two album set from a live
date at the
Village Vanguard. The first album is called "Quintergy." The notes mention that
the date marked a return to playing after a long hiatus by Johnson.

I have both albums and would recommend them quite highly (however, J.J.
is one of
my favorite players and I would recommend practically anything by him).

Letsee, Ulmer has "Tales of Captain Black" on Artists House, on which
I think Tacuma is on bass, and credited.  But that has a cartoon _city_
scene on the cover.  Then there's an album called "Are You Glad to Be
in America," which I *think* Tacuma is on and uncredited, but that
album's on Odyssey and the cover is a close-up of Ulmer.  I think.

Captain Black is excellent, if you can dig up a copy.

Hmmm I know I'll get called on this sometime :-)... 

I should have clarified that I meant "free improvising keyboardists".
But anyway...

I'm not a big Wayne Horvitz fan (gasp). I'll have to admit, a big
part of it is those HORRENDOUS DX-7 PATCHES, AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! I
loved Horvitz's playing in Nine Below Zero, but I *hated* the patches.

Not a big Zawinul fan either (but that's probably to be expected). I
love Carla Bley's piano (and to a lesser extent, organ), but she
usually works in more structured contexts. Can I say anything bad
about Ra? :-) And I don't really remember Peter Schreir's improvisations
too well...

Chris Brown is a favorite. (Anyone heard the new Room disk on Music and
Arts?) And don't forget the amazing Richard Teitelbaum.

I don't care for the majority of the GRP collection but here are a couple
that I like.

Diane Shurr - with the Count Basie Orchestra
Daryl Stuermer - unitled (I think)

Both seem to be a little atypical of the GRP collection.

Regarding the Fred Frith albums: "Speechless" is an album everyone should 
hear.  No album of cinstrumental music has ever made a greater impact on 
me, and a friend of mine who isn't into jazz also loved this album.  
"Gravity" is also good, and "Step Across The Border" has several live 
improv snippets.  The "Guitar Solos" CD on ESD is the definitive Frith 
improv album in print now.
Can anyone p;rovide details on what the collaboration with Ferdinand 
Richard is like?  Also, what's the best mail-order source for "The Top Of 
His Head"?  Incidentally, anyone who likes Frith should check out Cole 
Gagne's book "Sonic Transports", which has a GREAT interview and essay 
about Fred.  Also covered are Glenn Branca, "Blue" Gene Tyranny, and the 
Residents.

I meant that the "Aren't you glad..." album on Artist's House

For the record companies, yes. For the buyers like us who pick up bargains on
the cut, yes (except for the confusion). But for the artists, who have
created the music, its a loser as long as the record companies dump the
cuts and don't pay the artists royalties. As much as I love bargains, I think
that in fairness to the artists, they should be paid royalties for EVERYTHING
sold, even cuts. Maybe a reduced royalty for cuts, but they should get
something.

As an aside about screwing artists out of royalties, the record clubs
are also major offenders (legally, of course). No royalties are paid
on "promotional" copies, which makes sense for copies sent to DJs
(although a lot of these "reviewers copies" get sold by the reviewers
unplayed, and there are stores in NY, LA, SF where you can get some
bargains on reviewer's copies). But all those free CDs/LPs/cassettes
you get free to join or as bonuses count as promos, and no royalties are
paid. That's why they like to have you buy one at full price (they
pay royalties) and then get one free (no royalties) plus charge you
outrageous shipping costs (does anyone really think it costs that much
to ship a few CDs?).

BTW, my comments about cut outs apply mainly to US record companys. I do
not know what kind of rules apply in Canada or elsewhere in the world.

I deleted the rest of the story since it is all too familiar.

One correction though.  It is referred to as "Aebersold's record distribution
company" but it is really the company of Jamey Aebersold's kid, who is at
most 22 or 23.

The "real" Jamey Aebersold is Wilton Jamey Aebersold, and his kid is
Jamey Dwayne Aebersold.  You'll notice that on the return address label
of "Double Time Jazz" that the name is Jamey D. Aebersold.

I've found out firsthand how shabbily this company is run.  It's not that
they are dishonest, it's just that it is a very poorly run company.  I must
have placed four orders total (and am dreading the next order) and to get
backorders, partial shipments, price changes, shipping and handling cost
changes is standard operating procedure.

Here's a standard ploy:  you place an order of eight albums.  There is 
a pretty high shipping and handling cost: $2.50 for the first three and
then 0.20 per album/CD afterwards, for a total of $3.50.  So, you send
in a check with your order (if you used a charge card, you're hosed).
After weeks (such as Bill Hery's experience) you get a partial shipment.
Say four CDs out of the eight.  The invoice charges you for the albums
and shipping handling of $2.70 ($2.50 for the first three plus 0.20).
After a couple of more weeks, you receive two more albums.  The invoice
charges you for those two with shipping and handling of $2.50.  If you
were to get the last two, you'll be charged another $2.50, but chances
are you'll receive a credit for the last two albums.  From the credit
slip, will be subtracted the extra shipping and handling charges.

If you must order from "Double Time Jazz", make sure that you order
only an album or two at a time.  If you order a bunch of albums, you
are bound to get partial shipments, and multiple shipping/handling
charges, and still end up with credit slips.  Frankly, though, the
prices aren't all that great at Double Time.  They are better than the
local mall, but they are not nearly as good as a respectable place
like Tower.

One thing is sure...all of these problems make no reflections on Dad's
company.  The "Jazz Aids" mail order company is one of the best companies
I've ever dealt with.  In fact, up until a short time ago, they didn't even
charge for shipping and handling.  Now, I think it is a flat rate, per order.
I've never had a backorder from them, and the shipment usually arrives
within a week.  I wish the kid would pay more attention to how Dad runs his
business.
