From this and other boards or discussion groups I've learned thousands of "jazz fans" are limited by narrow style restrictions and by what has been issued on cd. This is a huge "bummer" for me. I have based my life on the "exploratory nature" of the human animal. This may have been a big mistake. I don't understand people discussing the details of Lee Morgan records without knowing their Keppard, Armstrong, Smith(s), Eldridge, Gillespie, Cherry, Bowie, etc- let alone other musics. If you profess to "like music", why only a "snapshot of history". This is like my dad only interested in the Swing of the late '30s and '40s. This kind of interest is not about music, but about some sort of personal "reaffirmation" like reliving your youth. Maybe in the next life.

I think this is funny, since I believe Miles (in about the last 3rd of his career) was trying to become (something like) Snoop.

Not dubbed from vinyl, but the original "acetate" discs from the session. BN and Mosaic went to considerable trouble and expense to source the original masters. It ain't gonna sound better. Don't ignore the Ammons titles AND I suggest, after digesting this disc, get the 3 Lewis discs and the 3 Ammons discs on Classics. This will fill out the picture. Some of the great music of the 20th century and the music causing Alfred Lion to create Blue Note.

Seems like at least half the solos I admire are "abrasive". I've had Trickles since it was first released, in the mid '70s, and bought the cd as well. A very nice date for me.

I was a French girl with an enchanting, "slight" lisp.

Flugelhorn.

I think 223 was set aside for the Bobo Stensen box.

Phillip was a friend and I kept this along with his Moers and Hat Hut lps.

Sorry we can't be there tonight to celebrate with you, but Ann and I send our best wishes and great thanks your way.

Damn near everyone in North America is of mixed racial descent.

I posted this yesterday in the WAYLTRN thread.

This is on Stunt, so Pete should be able to supply it.

Phillip Wilson Trio, "Fruits" with Leo Smith and Johnny Dyani.

Yup, that was Fred Lonberg-Holm on the cello. Thanks for the ride Bill.

Welcome back Y'all!

Exactly!

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.
