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
Brazilian percussionist, who was 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!
He was one of my favorites to see live.
I recollect seeing him nine times:
Three different versions of Special Edition: one about the time of Inflation Blues (with Marty Ehrlich instead of Chico Freeman), the group on Album Album with David Murray, and twice for the Greg Osby/Gary Thomas edition.
As a sideman twice, backing up Keith Jarrett and McCoy Tyner.
And finally, three times with Matt Garrison and Ravi Coltrane.
Very saddened to hear this ... and I had no idea he had such an illustrious career with the AP.
Guy was a great asset to the board and exceptionally generous as well - a couple of years ago I reached out to him because he had mentioned a rare Harry Edison CD with Curtis Peagler, and I had not had any luck even finding a copy anywhere. I hoped he would favor me with an upload of mp3 tracks and instead he simply shipped his copy to me and didn't even take payment for the mailing cost.
RIP.
