  1. Ordered the LP set through my local shop, and looking forward to it.
  2. Absolutely. Of course I'm far too young to have witnessed this band or Frank Wright live, though I did see Few, Silva, Noah Howard and Leroy Williams in concert and it was a beautiful experience, full of camaraderie and love. This was several years before Muhammad Ali reemerged. My impression of the Center of the World band is that they were FUN and not afraid to get house rockin' in what they played.
  3. Yes, my favorite of their LPs no question. But seeing him is very different from listening to the records!
  4. Casady is such a great bassist; I didn't really think about him as an instrumental soloist until I saw the Tuna live. Things definitely clicked. Tuna fans are pretty rabid, too, and it's always fun to talk to someone wearing one of their t shirts.
  5. He's not a good actor, though he is pricey! Sucks about the house. Does "intact" mean that there wasn't mold or other significant issues with it? Might have had good bones but enough other problems stacked up that rendered it safer/saner/cheaper to tear down.
  6. Soft Machine, Høvikodden 1971 (Cuneiform), LP1 have part of this on the old Reel Recordings CD set; mastering here is a bit less hot it seems, but the sound is really good and open. Music is as great as you'd expect.
  7. yes! heard some of this out in LA in 2023 at the Milford exhibition and it is fantastic. so we'll have Brötzmann/Parker/Graves, Graves/Glover/Doyle, and Gayle/Parker/Graves. I hope Graves/Tanaka/Bailey comes soon.
  8. I saw him with Luke and Ronnie Burrage in 2020 (lockdown Vision Festival -- masks on, few people 10+ feet apart) and it was phenomenal. I'd previously seen him with the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and that was excellent also. Though I haven't heard all of them, I can't think of a David Murray album I've listened to that I haven't liked, so there's that.
