Like others when I visited NYC I would go to the Tower Records in the Village and particularly the Annex. Not far from there was Other Records (?), which is now closed.
When we visited Tokyo about 7-8 years ago, my wife and daughter went to Disneyland-I went to the Tower Records store in Shibuya: https://blog.discogs.com/en/digging-in-tokyo-tower-records/. That was great.
It was called Other Music.

One of my first ECM albums was Watercolors (1977), also his first Pat Metheny album. A huge impact from an album rarely mentioned. Usually folks mention the white PMG album.
"a recurring illness" might explain why he retired from music and the road early, a lesson in impermanence for us all.

I feel old, thanks for remembering!

He showed up on my microtonal radar, all my friends in LA knew him. RIP

Makes twitter interesting!

I think D Holland is always off to something else since the big band. Uncharted Territories with Evan Parker was real good.

Yup--Easton Avenue in New Brunswick. I still have copies of his Black Sun Tabloid quarterly mailings stashed away somewhere.
I did for years...all gone now. I grew up in North Brunswick.

Great thread! I have skimmed through many of the pages today to while away the idle moments here at work (shhhhh).
I've cashed out of my high-dollar guitars long ago, keeping only a Frankenberry guitar I made out of parts from City Lights Music in the 1980s,
City Lights in New Brunswick, NJ? I used to drop in there quite a bit. I must have bought something there, maybe an Epiphone Granada.

Snakeoil and his own albums.

sounds interesting. All I think I've heard is the Messiaen performances.

Here is a fun activity:
Open up two InterWebz tabs and go to YouTube on both of them.
On one, open up an Anthony Braxton solo album. (I go for the 1979 solo alto improvisations.)
On the other tab, open up any one of many ubiquitous, polite Music Minus One jazz soloist tracks.
Play them together and adjust the volume of each accordingly.
The results are sometimes hilarious, but also, things eerily match up from time to time.
It is pretty funny when he keeps playing after the tune ends.
Have fun, and you're welcome!
brilliant!

Thankfully for all of them - they are all busy and all are still very productive.

Without looking it up, I thought Braxton split over the Scientology thing. Wouldn't be the first or last time someone did that.

McCoy Tyner has died, aged 81
in Artists

An important bit of jazz history has left us.
I like what Jim Alfredson said on FB: "A master has left us. RIP McCoy Tyner. There is jazz piano before McCoy and jazz piano after McCoy."
