I think I bought 15 things today. I tend to splash out since I am not seeing shows or doing much of anything for myself these days!
-
ooh, will have to check that although I already sprung for too much on Bandcamp today.

Your Favorite Jazz Records of the 1980s?

Dickie is a longtime friend so it's great to see this stuff coming out again indeed.

yeah, to me this is a level up on Black Bone. -
yes. I love the original but having blasted the transfers on headphones, it's ridiculous how good this stuff sounds. I am hopeful that at the pressing stage this good fortune continues.

ah I did not see it on youtube. reissue comes straight from the master tapes and sounds fabulous.

rec. 1975, released '76 b/w, from '84, and excellent: -
SOLOS is mid-size ensemble free improvisation (four woodwinds, two basses doubling on brass, drums, electric piano), pretty rollicking. 4 CUTS is one drone-y group improvisation, a solo bass tune (overdubbed), saxophone solos and duos.

Hardest Instruments to Listen To Played Badly

Bagpipes are great. I'm all about some traditional highland piping, and Yoshi Wada as well. -

my upstairs neighbor, who sadly just moved out, is learning clarinet at 26 inspired by Eric Dolphy. I gotta say I'm pumped and it was cool to hear him practice. He's a very hard worker and a sweet guy, so I'm sure he'll have fun with it. He was already a musician (electronics and guitar, mostly) but had not done anything with reed instruments as far as I know. -
He's amazing with Dickie Landry on Chatham Square in the early 70s; that material will be rereleased this year.

Bandcamp also will be stocking them.
