Thanks to all. This is a nice way to begin the day. I saw the topic last night but ignored it to enjoy the last few hours of my 50s. Yes David, Nonaah is next.

You astound me Dan.

Damn! I guess this is your way of squirreling out of the trip to GR on Friday. B)

This turns out to be the Jazz Heritage Society. I am currently a member, considering quitting because they have the most irritating web site in the music biz. They make it very difficult to find what you want and sometimes items in their mailings are not on the site. I have sent emails to their customer service dept but have never received a response.

I'm probably the only one here to have heard John Collins and Truck Parham play together.

Though you probably overstate his attitude, it is mine too.

I used to have them all on vinyl. They didn't really strike me as special, but I think I liked "Home" and "Chasing the Sun" best.

Sounds interesting. I'll be in touch.

"In East Berlin" was not part of the box. "Legba Crossing" was supposed to be exclusive to the box but some were sold separately.

It was reissued on Concord, so you have 2 covers to look for.

For some people this is a serious question. Personally I think it is easy to over estimate the Ra influence on the AACM guys. Mr Blount left the city about 5 years before the AACM was chartered and most members were too young to have had much meaningful contact with the Arkestra. I'm sure the forthcoming AACM history by George Lewis will cover this in some detail.

I'm about to finish my 3rd Rolling Rock.

In the '70s I worked for a classical label and the art director brought in a "first draft" of an album cover with the name Shostacockavich.

Yup.

Congratulations to all involved!

The film soundtrack is performed by Nora Jones' dad. Ornette's score was rejected.

Thanks for your information and efforts P.L.M. I hope Anthony is ok.

Yikes! Thanks Hans. I had not seen this.

Welcome, Matt.

I couldn't imagine him working in a Hamburger Hamlet either. I can envision Terri in a waitress costume however.

Good Luck! It ain't easy.
