Holy Ghost

This dude, Parker, Drake made sense. In a Iron Maiden way, this band was mind-boggling. Heavy metal jazz, and we are afforded this incredible footage of an incredible artist: new to me!

Speak Easy. It's a weird looking record, almost looks like a Toto record, but this record is incredible! Signed it too, glad to have it. And his work with Shipp and Parker are keepsakes.

Yessss.

Yup. And some great vintage footage too,

Agree. Same here. I love Miles Smiles more than Kind of Blue; Ole Coltrane more than a Love Supreme. No Ayler, M. Brown, Shepp, Roach on that list lends credence to subjectivity. I like a lot of things too, hardly anything that will make any list: Just enjoy what hits the ears, lists won't matter afterwards.

Not an LP, but the cd reissue of Ornette's Crisis/a 12. I was at an Exchange location n was gonna buy it, but the cd was gone and in its place was this packet of fake nipples. I took it to the front desk and they laughed n I got to keep the empty case/inserts and the packet of fake nipples for free; my 20 yr old daughter who was with me at the time asked for the nips. Awkwardly, I gave them to her...weirdest experience ever!

Yup, would've made good sense for Lee to transition to these labels. They cater to artists that have the insight to transition, but on the artist's terms, at least from an outsider's point of view.

Blue Mitchell on trumpet?

Maybe some of the best and wildest playing I've ever heard from Burrell. Yeah, for me too. I don't play this one much either, but when I do, I forget how hypnotic it is. Paul and Willie Bobo especially make this record a total sonic trip for me.

There was a cd reissue program of some sort and I do have David Murray's Flowers for Albert on a 2cd set, but then later on I stupidly passed up the Pharoah disk a dozen years ago at an Exchange store in Pittsburgh because I thought it was too pricey for the condition it was in. Never saw it again.

This is a big one. I'm still just trying to understand the Candids, BN's and I have the FMP's ready, I'm just not ready for them and beyond. He takes decades for me to comprehend what he's doing. A remarkable career. RIP.

Interesting interview, thanks for posting. I don't know why, but Skies of America is one of the last Ornette albums I go to, gotta go back n listen to it again.

Sounds right, it was a female and she was playing some weird form of a synthesizer or something. It was just him and her.

Another go-to goodie!

Fair enough, and I did read somewhere that Jackie said Norman Connors didn't work out, and probably should remain in the can for that reason, especially if he said so himself. Still can't get past the idea though of still wanting to hear it, warts and all.

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either when a club here in Cleveland last year was only asking for $20. Albeit, it was a strange line up, I kinda was hoping for a "Die Like a Dog" line up, but regardless, it Brotz! Now that's a steal not a deal!

Upset, but he beat the odds. Good for him.

Yeah I still drool over this session.

Great footage, Ron Burton!

Fair, but Where is Brooklyn was released a lot later. Weird you bring these dudes up, can't really picture him in anything more than a trio setting. Like Barrage was weird, even uncomfortable, but I dug it, don't know if he did.

Yeah ten years later, but what an incredible drummer Han Bennick is: worth rehearsing how exciting he is still! Hope this allowed: And this from Amherst: Kinda like Mingus/Richmond, Brotz/Bennink are another magical combo.

Yeah, maybe two records; Don Cherry, Cecil didn't ,make entire sense there either.

Oh yeah, Atco, total oversight.

Interesting. Don't know him, what do you mean?

Yup. They really played the 70's well and made a lot of money; I can't believe I forgot Genesis and Yes!
