Sorry to hear this, he was a great contributor to this board since it's inception. Rest in Peace, Brownie.

My set arrived yesterday and I listened to several tracks. Interesting and good and the sound was pretty good too. I keep getting distracted by the Paul Chambers and Wynton Kelly Veejay set which arrived the other day but will get back to this soon.

And apparently regarded equally highly as an AP photographer!

Very sad news. I once met him shortly during a stay in Paris. A very nice and knowledgeable man, who has seen the performances of practically everybody passing through the town. A loss for the jazz world. R.I.P.

I enjoyed the film. Slow but tense. Great ending. The cinema I saw this at today (Barbican, London) said it had a ‘stress inducing jazz score’! Well, it had me tapping my foot but maybe why three people walked out before the end.

Bob Zurke on keys is a revelation on disc two. Really enjoyable stuff!

My set should arrive tomorrow, perhaps Saturday.

Damn.

Forgot to mention that the presence of Connee Boswell on two tracks on disc 1 was a pleasant surprise! Has there ever been a discussion of putting together a Connee Boswell Mosaic set? (Iirc she pops up on the Bunny Berigan box and the recent V-Disc small group set.)

Very sad news. I know many of his photos of jazz greats; he was a close friend of Marion Brown in particular, and an active participant in this forum. R.I.P. 'brownie' ...

Great stuff 😎

Yes indeed. It sounds absolutely fantastic.

Unknown to me until reading this thread - I listened to some of the albums mentioned above, and placed an order! Unknown to me until reading this thread - I listened to some of the albums mentioned above, and placed an order!

Very sorry to read this. I've been out of touch for a while, but he was most generous in sharing his knowledge, his photos, and in tracking down many great CDs for me in Paris' well-stocked second hand shops.

Oh no! Thats sad news. RIP Brownie

Oh gosh, sad news. What a man. . . .

I always appreciated brownie's posts. He was such positive presence here.

Brownie was a great man. Back when we did Blindfold Tests with CDRs, he would take on the task of getting the discs to members in countries where US mail might or might not arrived on time (or at all...). He never failed. RIP and thank you for being that kind of a human. Large!

Francisco Mora Catlett “Mora/Mora 2” Far Out cd Mexican-American percussionist from Detroit, a spiritual jazz player who even performed with Sun Ra. Nice material with Kenny Cox on piano.

I'm more inclined to believe Discogs listing of 1968. World Pacific was then part of United Artists, but UA didn't become part of EMI/Capitol until about a decade or more later. All things considered it's a pretty trippy album, and so is the Lewis (thank you Charles Stepney). Good times, albeit quite niche!
