I had the Tull and Allman Bros. back in the day also, even on short available discretionary $ as a 16 year old teenager. Didn't get the Dead album for many years (CD era), so missed out on the magnificent "The Other One" back in the day!

+1. I got a used copy of it in the past six months and really liked it.

That one needs a CD reissue!

That birthdate seems to be wrong, though still quite a life: Carno, Zita Born: April 15, 1935 Country: New York City, U.S.A Studies: Manhattan School of Music (B.M.1956, M.M.1957) Teachers: V. Giannini, Charles Mills, Wallingford Riegger

I can't find connection online, but would place money it needs to be there.

It is.

I'm a big cat person, have had them my whole adult life. Our current cat is inches away from me right now. She is like a dog in some ways, constantly hangs out with us, following us from room to room, lays in our laps all winter. Also sleeps with us at night. Thankful for her company. And she's great with our five year old grandson, who lives with us! We've never had a christmas tree disaster with any of ours. I used to have a cat with silver/grey fur, and she would lie underneath an old aluminum Christmas tree I had (actually still have it, but haven't put it up in years since the house got more occupied), and change colors along with the tree when the color wheel was running.

Discogs shows one recording as a leader (1996), and no other appearances as a sideman. Bio: He first picked up flute and sax after several inspirational encounters in New York around 1970. He played regularly with xxxx's free-form jazz ensemble around the midwest until 197?. Eventually he landed in California for good in 1981, where he became a die-hard member of the L.A. jazz scene. Thread bread-crumb: this has to do with cut #10.

#10 is by an obscure L.A.tenor play who put out a great album. #3 is by a guy who is QUITE well-known on this board, and there is not a vibes player on the album. surprised no one has figured it out.

I went to one concert the entire year: Al Stewart at Upper Merion Concerts Under the Stars. Outdoors, 2 blocks from my house. It was excellent. He is still in fine form, and an amazing storyteller as well as gifted musician.

It's a great set, even at the Amazon price (which is actually pretty good at the morning). The missing gem in that series now is the 'Live Oblivion' set that was released in the 70's. Wonder what their plans are for that. There have also been a number of CD bonus cuts (some live) on some of the earlier reissues of the Trinity and Oblivion Express albums, so there's still more they can do, but the bulk of his seminal 60's/70's work is available on the two beautiful box sets.

Interesting character. RIP.

I bought a bunch of their Strata Records reissues, plus the Mingus 5 disc set several years ago, and had no problem getting them at reasonable prices from domestic sellers. I think the Mingus set was even from Amazon. I'm in for the Waldron/Hino, and intrigued by a Shamek Farrah live disc I see on their website.

We had a great Tower Records on South Street in center city Philadelphia. Three stories tall, plus separate annexes across the street for Classical and for books/movies. Jazz was on the top floor of the main store. I remember waiting breathlessly for the annual "all-label sale" plus each thrilling Blue Note reissue batch of CD releases. Pre-and-early internet age, so you could walk in and find things you never knew existed. They also later built one less than a mile from my house in King of Prussia right after I got married and bought our house, and that was so great to stop in weekly on the way home from work, get the new Pulse! magazine, and browse the bins. The heartbreak came when they hit financial difficulty due to their botched international expansion and changed their philosophy to stock and price just like any other blah suburban music chain store (new Britney Spears for $17.99, but no great new jazz reissues to be had) and stopped publishing Pulse! . The store instantly became worthless to me. By the time they physically closed the store, I hadn't visited there in many months, maybe even a couple years (I don't exactly remember).

Don Pullen. He's really good on this and it's followup, Shakill's II:

Philly Joe's Beat had domestic CD reissue on this useful Collectables set in 1999:

How are donations for 2023?

No, seem to be same takes.

The two 'Newport Rebels' tracks which MIngus did not play on (Peck Morrison did): 2-7 Cliff Walk 9:41 2-8 T'Aint Nobody's Bizness If I Do 7:14
