  1. Watazumido-Shuso, The Mysterious Sounds of the Japanese Bamboo Flute (Everest)
  2. I spin Judgement, Compulsion and the Blue Note Mosaic Select the most, but you really can't go wrong with any of the Blue Notes.
  3. Bill Dixon, Aaron Siegel, Ben Hall, Weight/Counterweight (Broken Research)
  4. John Coltrane, Impressions (Impulse, mono) John Coltrane, Coltrane (Prestige/AP) Steve Lacy, Saxophone Special (Emanem)
  5. John Coltrane, Soultrane + and the Red Garland Trio (Analogue Productions). Great stuff from the Prestige era. Steve Lacy, School Days (QED). All Monk, before it was fashionable, with Roswell Rudd.
  6. Sign me up for a download please.
  7. Kodaly String Quartet, Contemporary Hungarian Chamber Music (Hungaroton).
  8. RIP. He also did a lot to bring Schoenberg's work to a wider audience.
  9. Those albums seem to get forgotten amongst Giuffre's output, but they are great. Kiyoshi Tokunaga and Randy Kaye are an excellent rhythm section for this music. Evan Parker/Derek Bailey/Han Bennink, The Topography of the Lungs (Incus)
  10. Joseph Jarman and Famoudou Don Moye, Egwu-Anwu (Sun Song) (India Navigation). Nice showcase of both talents without the other guys. Jimmy Giuffre 3, Music for People, Birds, Butterflies & Mosquitoes (Choice). Great album from Giuffre's 70s trio. Lots of flute.
  11. Paul Desmond Quartet Live (Horizon). Great quartet date with on Ed Bickert on guitar, Jerry Fuller on drums and Don Thompson on bass (and engineer). Desmond's solo on Jobim's Wave is packed with interesting moments.
  12. Happy Birthday to the guy who knows the difference between Roughriders and Rough Riders!
  13. ? Whenever I come across a clean ESP pressing, I feel like there's something wrong with it. Yes, it doesn't feel right. Listening to New York Art Quartet now which is surprisingly blemish free Globe Unity Orchestra - Jahrmarkt/Local Fair [Po Torch] first listen.Side 2 might just be the maddest piece of music I've heard in a very long time That is wild stuff. Local Fair sounds like a precursor to Sergey Kuryokhin's Pop Mechanics projects in the 1980s and '90s.

  15. Great choices. "Flute music" is also well worth getting if you do not have it. I just finished spinning that Hemphill LP myself as your post inspired me to play it again. The music is excellent, but to me it suffers a bit due to that typical Black Saint tinny/trebly production. Right now: Black Unity Trio "al-fatihah" (salaam). Probably one of my favorite free jazz albums ever...if I ever did my own "top ten free jazz list" a la Thurston Moore then this would definitely be on it. Black Unity Trio is a masterpiece--I love that album and thanks to you, I've heard it. I'm spinning the Hemphill again. I agree with you about the sound, but the playing is tremendous.
  16. is this good? What's it like? It's a great one. One of my favourites from Big John.
  17. Cool photo! Have you read that biography? I've been meaning to pick it up.
  18. Julius Hemphill, Raw Materials and Residuals (Black Saint). ?????? Has Abdul Wadud ever been on a bad album? Dudu Pukwana and Spear, In the Townships (Caroline).
  19. Hidehiko Matsumoto, The First by Sleepy (Toshiba). Nice 1977 date by one of Japan's more renowned tenor saxophonists. Liner notes are unintentionally hilarious going into obsessive details over the direct to disc recording process. Billy Harper, Knowledge of Self (Denon). A recent purchase and the first Harper leader date I've picked up. There's a lot of love for Billy Harper on this board and I can see why--a great one.
  20. Julian Priester, Love, Love (ECM, U.S. pressing) Pepper Adams, Encounter (Prestige). Love the lineup on this one: Zoot Sims, Tommy Flanagan, Elvin Jones and Ron Carter.
  21. I used to feel that way, but that band with John Scofield and Al Foster was smokin'. Mileage varies after that.
  22. Schoenberg/Berg/Webern, The String Quartets, LaSalle Quartet (DG)
