First set was on central France bagpipe, really good, one drone piece and one more rhythmic. Second set featured custom made instruments, and a little too long for me, I thought they tended to get lost sometimes in exploring the sounds. That should get better eventually as they get used to them. Interesting though. And so good to hear live music again

Pachora! That group was revelatory when I first encountered it. And then I followed most of the group's members for years since. I think they started out as more of a Balkan-free jazz group originally. You hear a tiny bit of that here, in the guitar (mandolin?).

Jeff Golick:

In re storage: when we last moved about three years ago, we took a "short-term" storage unit, in order to manage all of the crap we'd accumulated in 20 years at the old place. Well, cut to three years later and we've given up and surrendered to the idea that we need to keep this (expensive) unit, for our sanity. Brought some stuff over yesterday. Wife Kate pointed to a box of random CDs...and then just looked at me, blankly.
Avatar 🦀 Swag For Life Member 10:33am
fred:

@DJpeterDE: I order my records first in two stacks: seen live or not. Then each stack in ordered by color or whatever strikes my mind. I do that every year or so (though not this one). The point is that when I look for a record, I'll find another one I hadn't thought about. I organize for confusion
Avatar 🦀 10:34am

@DJpeterDE, I have my Book of Angels in its own pile on a shelf, ordered by number. I have no memory of who did them anyway, so I just leaf through them if I'm trying to find one to play.

@Jeff, my sisters took a temporary storage unit back in... oh, 2005 maybe? And it is still there, racking up the monthly fees. If they had just given all the stuff away, they could have bought new items with the money saved from storage fees (given that most of it was not ever needed).
That said, getting rid of boxes of CDs is madness!

doctorjazz:

Really liked Quintopolous, a and Ray Anderson is a long timelove!

@Fred-pretty much the same way for physical media, last name or band name, though I ran out of shelf space at one point, so stuff after that is just "newer arrivals" (got more shelving, about full, extending out to other rooms). Digital is a mish mash-the computer generally does First name, so mostly it's that way, but some come "Last name, first name", and in slowly changing it to that format (maybe get to this when I retire, or, as my old Rabbis used to say, "When the Messiah comes".

I also have things like Zorn projects by just filling them under Zorn, multi artist tribute albums can go in a Various area, as do things like Blues Mamas from the 20:s. And, no, it's not easy to find things often.

Berio is an interesting figure, who started out doing atonal composition like this and then began to explore traditional Italian folk songs and other less formal compositions. His ECM album Voci, with Kim Kashkashian, is a favorite of mine.

@doctorjazz: I think your wife could help: the trash section would narrow down your collection quickly. Argue for what should be kept
  11:03am

Missing from the above @10:55, however, is specification of the element used to file, i.e., the "main entry" for the catalog record. Author/performer? Title of the piece? Composer?

As do I, @hyde. Lacking a card catalog or database to support discovery of syndetic relationships and alternative access points among the artists and works, I have to rely on a faltering memory.

The problem for me with audiophile-versus-other storage is twofold: first, it exposes the obsession with recording sound quality abstracted from the musical performance itself; and second, some absolutely amazing recordings are not deemed audiophile, e.g., a lot of the work Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz did for Nonesuch. I guess a third concern is that some badly made recordings are nevertheless supreme performances.

@Dean, yes, like the days when I used to go to stereo stores, and they would put on a recording to demonstrate speakers (or whatever). The music would often be incredibly mediocre, but you would have to admit, "Boy, you really hear each string of that guitar! Gee, dig that stereo separation!"

Avatar 🦀 Swag For Life Member 11:14am

Dean @11:09, I absolutely agree with you. It came about that way because I had a good friend, an Audiophile, who bought up collections, kept the better copy, and gave me the leftovers organized that way (sadly, at some point he just sold them on eBay).
  11:17am
Dean:

The stereo store I frequented in the '80s at least played good stuff, too, including "badly made recordings" that "are nevertheless supreme performances," e.g., Furtwangler's Bruckner 5 from DG's Dokumente series. But they also played great recordings of great performances, e.g., Marianne Schroeder's early Feldman recital on hatHut, Piano. Rarely had to endure yet another spin of Famous Blue Raincoat.
Avatar 🦀 Swag For Life Member 11:18am
doctorjazz:

@Fred, she sort of knew that she was being nice and giving me the living room for the stereo and records. But I think she hadn't thought ahead that it wasn't a closed system...she did figure that out at some point, and i guess had made peace with it.

@Jeff, it is a true sign of faith for a jazz artist to think that his or her children will benefit from royalties of compositions.
Avatar 🦀 11:20am
Listener Gregory:

Horace Silver's kids are probably getting the occasional royalty check.

Used to go to High End Shows, and Graceland or Famous Blue Raincoat was all you heard.
The Brooklyn store I liked, which is now in Manhattan, had a salesman with terrific taste, Wes Phillips, and I had great fun bringing stuff and listening with him. (He later became a writer at Stereophile, then passed away at a young age)

There is an old ECM album, "Double Me, Double You," isn't there?

@doctorjazz: Nice story. Does she listen to some shows on WFMU? I'd love to hear her take
Avatar 🦀 Swag For Life Member 11:25am
doctorjazz:

She listens to two shows, Someday Matinee, and Acid Jazz Hands (Show music is her love).

Kenny Wheeler, "Double, Double You" ECM 1262.
Thanks, @DJp!

It’s funny how there are certain adjectives like “inveterate” that are permanently attached to certain nouns

Dean:

There's a Van der Graaf Generator tune, "W." Hamill puns off it.

I could never bring myself to attend a high end audio show. I much preferred establishing relationships with boutique retailers, e.g., Havens & Hardesty in OC. Bill Mohline, now an architect, was a knowledgeable salesman there. He designed some covers for Okka Disk during the '90s.

Dean:

On a trip to NYC I made a pilgrimage to Sound by Singer, just 'cause. I walked in and confessed I had no intention of buying, but just wanted to see the gear on display. The salesperson was completely accommodating. Sat me down in front of a pair of Krell monoblocks the size of coffee tables (or so my memory exaggerates). Never been a fan of Krell, but the sheer monumentality was impressive.

It was nice to meet some equipment designers at the shows, and some would play music you brought, or picked out of what they brought at the shows. But, by the end of the day, stuff just started sounding the same (I u used to review jazz for an Audiophile magazine, The Audiophile Voice, occasionally, so it let me meet some folks, and didn't cost me anything).

@hyde, you find it tolerable??? They are doing something wrong.

@ Fred, Bronwyn does a really fine show music show (in WFMU style, she finds stuff so obscure that my very knowledgeable wife and older daughter spend much of the show with quizzical looks on their faces, but enjoying it).

I think you nailed it, @doctorjazz. The prospect of eight hours of high-calorie audio doesn't seem all that appetizing. I once strolled into H&H and had a weird sense that something had changed sonically. Indeed, they had just introduced a new pair of amplifiers. I felt vindicated, and yet I also know that my ability to listen critically is compromised by a host of factors for which no double-blind testing can control.

I haven't heard any of this music before, so this is all good. However, my feelings are a bit hurt that it never occurred to Jeff to play a second G cut with the extra time.
