I really enjoyed Cowell with Art Pepper in those live recordings on Galaxy.
Met him in the mid '70s and liked him a bunch. We both suffered the same skin condition.
Not quite the same things for "sound recordings". I would love to go claim someone's house as their copyright expired but sadly only my choice of work seems at risk.
The 9.6 minute "Blues for Johnny Bratton" could not have replaced the 6.3 minute "Monday's Dance" for simple physical reasons - the program was already long and the extra minutes would not fit on an lp.
I think Ira's "multi-tracked" performance is just dandy.
Hal was a "band leader" from the early days.
Hal's admiration of Artie Shaw and Jimmie Lunceford raises it's head. How many musicians are "informed" by Shaw AND Ayler.
I wondered what you would think Larry. Maybe you could send me more reactions (maybe by email) after comparing with the Fish lp.
Thanks to those ordering today - they will all be mailed in the morning.
