I'll have to pull my cdr of that session out. In my recollection, it's neither as bad as Cuscuna made it out to be, nor necessarily as good as what did come out around that time.

Up for renewed reading. I'd forgotten about the Steve Lehman interview.

I didn't create the artwork, but I think a member of this board did. (I can't remember who.) The image has been floating around the internet for a while. I agree that it's excellent.

Maybe in conjunction with Michael Garrick? I'm not sure how many discs a Harriott set would be. I'd support the endeavor.

That shirt design could be trying to make a point that the music of Strata-East is no longer outsider music and is now staking it's claim astral and true American music and by extension real America. If that's the intent, then that's a pretty radical notion itself

Bread Of Angels, her new memoir, is supposed to be good.

hanks for the link BTW, I'm currently reading the 33 1/3/Bloomsbury book on Television's "Marquee Moon" - covers the early US punk scene transitioning from the glam scene (New York Dolls etc), particularly the CBGB's years. Lots of Patti S included.

A high school classmate played with Patti Smith, Benji King. He died from a head injury while taking subway stairs in NYC a few years ago. https://www.discogs.com/artist/850459-Benjy-King?superFilter=Credits

I may have seen those LPs in a store around here recently. Will keep my eyes peeled for it. Thanks for the rec as well 🍻 One thing I didn't realize with this set after ripping it to my library is that several discs are tagged as "pop" instead of jazz in the metadata. That kind of mislabeling leads it to being missed when using my player and selecting the jazz category. Anyway, remedied that issue.

The Hank D'Amico session you are referring to has been present on the reissue market since the 80s on the 2-LP anthology "The Changing Face of Harlem Vol. 2" (Savoy). A very nice compilation, and along with its Vol. 1 companion volume it occupies some space in the "Second copies" corner of my record shelves (which I guess is saying something ). Additional listening suggestion for Hank D'Amico: "Holiday With Hank" (recorded for Bethlehem in the 50s and reissued most recently in Japan).

Late, you created this sleeve art? Wow!!! You rival Reid and Patrick. Color me impressed!! Submit this, and maybe we will get the music in the sleeve!

Brilliant! This is the best record I ever played in my imgination!! This record rules!!!!

Blown away, wow!!!!!!!! I am going to listen to this record right now, however I see fit!

Chuck, Allen, have you written it all down? I would read your interactions with Art in a second. You guys were there, I only get to read about it.

🤘 Not a huge fan of Ornette on trumpet, but I feel he was an equal contributor on this record. A real treat.

Would be listening to Jackie McLean's "Abrasion" but learned it's still at the pressing plant; meanwhile, this will have to suffice:

Starting off the day with a favorite that captured me the day it was released so many years ago. ’ Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette “Stil Live” 2 cd ECM set, disc 2

Right? Killer record!!! Have the LP sleeve framed on the wall🙂One of the few artists I can listen to as the only horn (Chet Baker being another). Now K2 20 Bit:
