The Lake is Music & Arts. When we recorded Roscoe Mitchell's "The Maze" in Columbia's 30th St Studio a couple of the engineers wanted to talk to me about the Cecil Taylor sessions that produced those records a few weeks earlier. The whole experience had impressed the crew and they wanted to talk.

You might enjoy this 4 disc anthology - They have an interesting Bern Nix date and two absolutely amazing Cecil Taylors. They have also reissued some great MJR records by Jay McShann, Roy Eldridge, Buddy Tate and bunches of great Earl Hines.

Nobody ever talks about The Desford Colliery Caterpillar Band. I really like them on this

A rare occasion when I listen to one of my own (this is from the '80s). This was inspired by a call from Roscoe today.

Damn, you folks are forcing me to buy a book I wouldn't have purchased otherwise.

I got the first Moderna on Sunday.

I caught the band at the Plugged Nickel between the 2 sessions on that record. Miles, Wayne, Chick, Dave and Tony.

Good luck.

Playing the live version.

Last saw him at Big Ears.

Ann and I have appointments on Sunday afternoon at a Walgreens near us. Thank goodness football season is over.

A new website featuring Malachi Favors has been launched by his daughter. Check it out. https://www.malachifavors.com/

I buy the small cans of Spicy Hot every week.

Haven't played this in a while.

You need to communicate with Jim Alfredson, owner of this place.

I'm just beginning. I was enticed by Rott's Wiki entry - for example "Rott began to evidence persecutory delusions. In October 1880, while on a train journey, he reportedly threatened another passenger with a revolver, claiming that Brahms had filled the train with dynamite. Rott was committed to a mental hospital in 1881, where despite a brief recovery he sank into depression. By the end of 1883 a diagnosis recorded "hallucinatory insanity, persecution mania—recovery no longer to be expected." He died of tuberculosis in 1884, aged 25. Many well-wishers, including Bruckner and Mahler, attended Rott's funeral at the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna."

Uptown has an unissued trio session. It was still in the can because Sunenblick couldn't make sense of all the takes/intercuts. He sent me a DAT of the material to sort out and then our "relationship" blew up and I never completed the job and then he died. Trio at Rudy's with Duvivier and Ben Riley. Haven't listened in a while but memory says it is good. He also sent some other Redd material - with Clifford Jordan IIRC. Should do some searching.

AM & FM - the number of religious stations is astounding and bothersome if you are looking for an NPR station while traveling.

To clarify, "Budism" was three cds of different recordings from the Golden Circle, not previously released. Never heard of "Budism Plus"
