All Activity

It's based on the novella, "Intermission" by Owen Martell, which I read a number of years ago. It took place at his parents' house in Fla, where Evans went to recuperate from the eight months of hell he went through when he was with Miles Davis. They played for mainly Black audiences, who were intolerant of the presence of a white musician in Miles' band. According to Gene Lees, Evans was jeered at by the audiences, and he received little if any support from most of the members of the band (again, according to Gene Lees- I'm not sure which book this was from-"Cats on Any Color"( ?), so hold a seance and ask gene Lees if any of this bugs you. IOW, don't bother me. The book mainly centered on Evans' relationship with his father, and no musicians appeared in it, so the film obviously adds a lot of material not mentioned in the book.

Though Onyx is defunct their releases are fairly easily acquired and for less than say the Uptown releases I want but don’t have.

Emergency Vol 1. Tony Williams Lifetime. The occasional vocals ( Tony I guess) are terrible but otherwise stunning music. Pre Bitches brew?

RIP. Prolific until recently and quite largely known in France beyond the jazz public.

Disc Three (the album)

with John Surman, Kenny Kirkland & Jon Christensen

Wow! “Stan Getz with European Friends” Denon Japan cd Good stuff!

Tony Tuff's Wha we a go do Sly on drums (RIP). Amazing album that VP just reissued, digitizing it for the first time. Been a reggae fan for decades now and have never seen this one before. Better late than never.

I am a Prime member and amazon works out well for me price wise.

Very sad. Rest in peace to one of the last of the hero era.

Been hot and cold with Ornette in the post Science Fiction years. Have not played this one in almost a decade. I'll break it out. NP

These two were my introduction to Portal. 👍👍 Still catching up with later work!

That's sad, what a musical legacy

On the Storyville website is 20 euro's

Leroy Smart's Musical Don: https://leroysmart.bandcamp.com/album/musical-don From '88. Recently remastered by Crucial Bunny. Steely & Clevie involved, as was Jackie Mittoo. Unexpected quality on this one. Definitely recommend if you dig reggae and don't mind/enjoy that 80s Jamaican sound.

Hey all.. came across these being listed on Bandcamp and a few other places. I thought I'd share the info. I ordered a copy of the Jamal, Lateef and Henderson on importcds (a little cheaper). The Petrucciani (frustratingly) appears to only be a European release. Any thoughts about any of these? https://yuseflateeflive.bandcamp.com/album/alight-upon-the-lake-live-at-the-jazz-showcase https://ahmadjamallive.bandcamp.com/album/at-the-jazz-showcase-live-in-chicago https://joehendersonlive.bandcamp.com/album/consonance-live-at-the-jazz-showcase https://malwaldronlive.bandcamp.com/album/stardust-starlight-live-at-the-jazz-showcase https://www.elemental-music.com/jazz-treasures/4942--michel-petrucciani-kuumbwa-8435395505113.html

Thanks 🍻 Looks like a great price.

I've had good luck with import CDs. Looks like they have it available for pre-order: https://www.importcds.com/copenhagen-1964/717101854523

Thanks guys. Makes me wish they could include those liners in their downloads then. Any recs for shopping their CDs online?
