    two very fine albums there :tup

    I know I say it every time they're mentioned but those Giuffre Choice sessions really are right up there

    Those albums seem to get forgotten amongst Giuffre's output, but they are great. Kiyoshi Tokunaga and Randy Kaye are an excellent rhythm section for this music.

     

    Evan Parker/Derek Bailey/Han Bennink, The Topography of the Lungs (Incus)

    Paul Bley Quintet - Barrage [ESP]

    complete with lovely thudding pressing fault for authenticity

    ? Whenever I come across a clean ESP pressing, I feel like there's something wrong with it.

    Yes, it doesn't feel right. Listening to New York Art Quartet now which is surprisingly blemish free

    Globe Unity Orchestra - Jahrmarkt/Local Fair [Po Torch]

    first listen.Side 2 might just be the maddest piece of music I've heard in a very long time

    That is wild stuff. Local Fair sounds like a precursor to Sergey Kuryokhin's Pop Mechanics projects in the 1980s and '90s.

    Julius Hemphill, Raw Materials and Residuals (Black Saint). ?????? Has Abdul Wadud ever been on a bad album?

    Dudu Pukwana and Spear, In the Townships (Caroline). 

     

     

     Great choices.  "Flute music" is also well worth getting if you do not have it.  I just finished spinning that Hemphill LP myself as your post inspired me to play it again.  The music is excellent, but to me it suffers a bit due to that typical Black Saint tinny/trebly production.

    Right now:

    Black Unity Trio "al-fatihah" (salaam). Probably one of my favorite free jazz albums ever...if I ever did my own "top ten free jazz list" a la Thurston Moore then this would definitely be on it.  

    Black Unity Trio is a masterpiece--I love that album and thanks to you, I've heard it.

    I'm spinning the Hemphill again. I agree with you about the sound, but the playing is tremendous.

  20. Charlotte Moorman/Etc. Real-Timers?

    Surprised to see her name mentioned at the O-Board. 
    Wonderful woman who was so utterly and completely devoted to Nam June Paik.
    Here's a duet (while an assistant holds the cello steady) that we did on Sept. 12, 1982
    when I was young enough to have a flat butt. I've had the "pleasure" of having Karen Finley
    place my head between her tittys while she slapped me with them for about a minute,
    but I don't have any pics of that. :P

    Cool photo! Have you read that biography? I've been meaning to pick it up.

    Hidehiko Matsumoto, The First by Sleepy (Toshiba). Nice 1977 date by one of Japan's more renowned tenor saxophonists. Liner notes are unintentionally hilarious going into obsessive details over the direct to disc recording process. 

    Billy Harper, Knowledge of Self (Denon). A recent purchase and the first Harper leader date I've picked up. There's a lot of love for Billy Harper on this board and I can see why--a great one.
