  1. I’m so delighted by this book of Discipline-era transcriptions.

    Still, I’m curious — why wasn’t “Nuages (that which passes, passes like clouds) “from Three of a Perfect Pair included in the book?

    • Rob – the material included in the book is composed material that was performed live. Purely improvised tracks were excluded. The only one of the three excluded tracks which was ever performed live was No Warning, and live performances of that don’t share any notatable common material with the studio version.

      • Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I’d never recognized that Nuages was wholly improvised…which perhaps marks it as a successful improvisation.

  2. Dear Sir
    I ordered the book (Discipline Era…) on September 16th, 2021. Is the shipping expected in December as I read somewhere?
    Greetings
