yeah, orchestral version IIRC, but yeah.

cool! One of my favorites, though I've never had a Saturn copy.

Good one -- have the original silkscreen private press that Hino did for his "Love" imprint.

Sad news! Legendary spot, never been to Copenhagen but...

It is an iconic album in the Blue Note catalog, and the title track is very listenable.

(IMO) excellent session. Ken returned to his native Jamaica and is now a missionary. Sweet man.

crazy. The LP is usually $5-$10. It's a good one.

yeah, I got a decent $2 Liberty USA copy maybe 20-25 years ago; decided to purge it a while back and was surprised to get like $40 for it. Good record but I did not feel the need to keep one in the racks. Maybe I'll grab a Japanese at some point.

fantastic album.

I know a fair amount of musicians that fall into the same camp; most are around Van's age. I tend to disagree with their conspiratorial mindsets but value my connection with them as people and artists.

Thanks for sharing the Shipp posts, can see 'em now. I guess I am a bit young to have witnessed a lot of what he's talking about, and the outing bit is even worse than I realized.

no longer on FB, and wish I could read Matt's thread. certainly Crouch was an asshole but he is/was hard to avoid on some level if one engages seriously with this music.

Wonder if we'll ever get to hear the Black Music Infinity recordings? Or read Outlaws & Gladiators?

yeah. though much earlier, Ain't No Ambulances... gets deep into some very homophobic zones. Not easy to stomach.

My thoughts exactly.
