Thanks to this thread I have pulled out Leo Cuypers' Heavy Days. Have not listened to it in years.

Jim Garner, Isaac Hayes and Stuart Margolin - a dream team. Sleep well Rockfish.

Gene Harris Fanatic The one sound Dan Gould

The Beetle Lucky Roberts Willie the Lion

What a great package, along with the second set. I have made a few cdr compilations from the Savoy sets.

Terry Gross put together a fine "tribute" show today from past broadcasts. You can find it. He was no Ginger Baker.

"WTF" - The Joe Daley Trio "At Newport '63", LSC-2763.

Y'all notice Michael Shannon will be delivering Hal's words?

The point I was making was I heard and saw them all about 8 years before Mr Winter was on the radar. That does make a different impression.

I didn't hear of him until I had seen/heard Muddy, Buddy Guy, Wolf, Junior Wells, JB Hutto, Otis Rush and others. I understand the impact he must have had for those coming later but... No disrespect meant.

Nice review of the Sullivan by Derek Taylor - http://dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/92049247414/ira-sullivan-circumstantial-nessa

I had all of the Galaxy lps and didn't go for the box. I went for the Vanguard box because I was in Chicago for a "monumental" week at the Jazz Showcase as Art and Laurie moved East. Some info about Chicago is in the book.

Thursday, July 31, 2014 NRG Ensemble (Ken Vandermark, Mars Williams, Brian Sandstrom, Kent Kessler, Steve Hunt)The Hal Russell Story A drummer, saxophonist, trumpeter and bandleader, Russell was one of the most colorful, flexible and fiery jazz musicians to ever work in Chicago. His long-running NRG Ensemble was formed in 1980 and became a major influence on the free jazz and improvised music scene of the 90s. The original lineup—reedist Mars Williams; bassist, guitarist, and trumpeter Brian Sandstrom; bassist Kent Kessler; and drummer Steve Hunt, along with reedist Ken Vandermark (who often subbed in the band) and cellist/trumpeter Fred Lonberg-Holm—reunites to play the last album they made with Russell: The Hal Russell Story (ECM, 1992), an autobiographical exploration of the leader's life in music. Academy Award-Nominated actor Michael Shannon will perform the original texts delivered by Russell on the album for this one-time event. http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/millennium_park3.html We will be there.

A recording from Windup Space will be issued in October and Kevin Whitehead has contributed the notes.

Great stuff!

Kevin Whitehead has written a nice piece available at http://www.wonderingsound.com/feature/bobby-bradford-interview-jazz/ .

Great idea. Looking for reports.

Hmm. I stopped using them a while ago.

When I mentioned paintings I meant Wettlings and Russells. Buy them for me and I will pay the shipping.

Don't think I have heard a better Parker recording than Monoceros. We plan on catching the Hartford event.

MMMV.
