I have been considering producing an LP after my next Leo Records release comes out in December. Have any of you released an LP, and if so, what was your experience? I would like to find a studio in the Philadelphia or NYC area that specializes in analog recording and knows how to deal with the process. I'd appreciate any suggestions and advice. Thanks.

Hi, I'm visiting New York City at the beginning of July and was wondering if anyone knows about any good free jazz shows happening in the area at that time? Any suggestions of good places to look for listings? Thanks!

From his publicist comes the news that Bill Dixon, the experimental jazz trumpeter and composer, died in his sleep last night at his home in North Bennington, Vt. He was 84 years old.

from Heath Watts:

I want to get a copy of Steve Lacy's Hocus Pocus - Book 'H' of "Practitioners". Unfortunately, the CD is OOP. The MP3 files are available in on the UK on Amazon (see link), but Amazon will not let me buy the music, because I live in the U.S. Does anyone know how to get around this Amazon problem? Thanks!

Some kind of improvisation can be found here at lots of places, yeah, but is there some known place where people meet to transcend the usual, funk-beat-driven, kinda stressful jamSession? Where dissonance is welcome or at least accepted?

I've been around here for several years, but never found one ...

Yes, i'm one of those who are somewhat frustrated not having any real folks to jam ... (as discussed some posts earlier)
If there's anyone, give some sign ...

Hello

I wonder if anyone could help me? I need the music for Roscoe Mitchell's Nonaah (the solo part Mitchell played on alto)

I've been told the notes are printed on the sleeve of this original album

Be very grateful if someone could post them

Thanks

I;m a double-bassist, residing in Australia, adn currently in year 12. Yesterday, I went to play with a drummer friend of mine, and we tried to play some timbral stuff with bows and such. I failed miserably.
I feel this is because I haven't listened to enough stuff in that sort of style, except for the Evan Parker electro-acoustic ensemble. COuld you perhaps point me in the direction of some stuff?

Cheers.

Folks,

I'd like to tap into the collective wisdom here. I've been in Northern Bavaria for six months. Between teaching and working on my dissertation, I haven't been able to do the footwork of finding like minded musicians or venues. If anyone could point me to some people and places I should check out in and around Nürnberg, Erlangen, Fürth, or Bamberg, I would be most grateful.

cheers,
andrea

1) Can a player be an Accompanist in Free Music?

If so please list your favorite Free Music players who often play more of a an accompanist role

2) If people are playing in a manner that sounds like "everybody soling at once"
can you think of examples of Free Jazz or Free Music where nobody sounds like they are soloing not even one person?
