This was an incredibly hectic semester for me, leaving me with so little time for reviewing. Hope to be back on schedule soon!

I so enjoy your way with words, delightfully full of metaphors and analogies, particularly the landscape references. A wonderful tribute to the talent of these students too.

Just write them an email to order the CD’s. They might send it to the US as well

Though with Pepl’s “Cracked Mirrors” being made available for download only very recently, I wouldn’t be shocked if this trio album with Jack Dejohnette were to be made available via download as well.

It’s sad that it seems that in the future ECM may choose not to re-release many more obscure albums in the physical CD format and may opt for downloads instead. Still it’s better than nothing and it may be worthwhile downloading the MP3 files, since i’m sure they’re better than worn vinyl for sure (and I know very well exactly what worn vinyl sounds like-I still have tons of it).

I still have the vinyl copy but would love to enjoy this without the snap crackle and pop. I think this is a real gem and hope they take a second look at this. It was a digital recording so some a more balanced recoding can easily be mastered in any new reissue.
