Dang! Listening again and the tapes sound phenomenal. I first was aware of Mars in 1977/78 when he was studying, via an NEA grant, with Roscoe. In fact I had to leave Roscoe's house one day so they could work. For the interested, I was staying with Roscoe (in Wisconsin) planning the recordings that became LRG-The Maze-SII Examples. Hal seemed (to me) to consider Mars his "greatest student". I am currently going through all of my Hal Russell material and am still intrigued by all the bright, young musicians he gathered. Hal's work planted the seeds for all the current Chicago north side activity. Too bad he isn't around to appreciate or piss on the results. I really miss him.

If the rule is 500 a year, I should delete my catalog.

If that is a reference, it's not one which I get... I just thought it looked like him - same smile.

Christopher Reeves.

I recognized her from all 3 pics but just couldn't come up with the name. She used to be everywhere.

No filters required.

I get the idea. I just had a great time listening to the transfers. Maybe I should just press 1.

Curious about the group here. I am in the midst of dealing with new transfers of my Russell material and just listened to the Hal/Mars tapes. Curious to know of reactions.

Looks interesting.

Intelligent radio (or aspirations toward intelligent radio) is a tough thing. Many "presenters" have a vision of themselves as saviors of the uneducated. I have some sympathy for this but Schapp seems to be over the top much of the time and seems to create his own "facts". I also think Chris should understand 90% of us here understand his negativity in that direction.

There might be some labels out there issuing cds they haven't listened to. Or they have and don't understand.

Jack Jones!!!

Yup, not only phoney stereo but phoney quad.

He is the not danny. Really interesting you need to know which irritating poster he was so you could have an opinion.

Loved that recording back in the day. It has been a while.

I will not hold my breath. They "solved" the error in the Getz box by offering an mp3 download.

Unemployed substitute teachers can be harsh critics.

These recordings were my introduction to the music and remain my "touchstones".

If you get the "final two" will you stop?
