I don't get HBO, so I had to wait until these came out on DVD before I saw them. In the last year or so have rented all first four seasons - very funny show! Susie Essman really cracks me up! There seems no limit to how many times Larry can get onto peoples' shit lists!

If I recall, it was a single LP from England that was a reissue of "CH Encounters BW". The 2-fer that combines this session with Associates was called "Tenor Giants", I believe.

Mike Love's tenor solos were way beneath whover is playing on TM, which is somewhat Trane-ish, I've always thought. I can't remember where I first heard it, but I don't have trouble believing it to be Lloyd. Steve Douglas is certainly a logical guess, but I can't hear him doing this. I don't know when Lloyd first got into TM, or when he befriended the Beach Boys, but it seems plausible to me.

Are you sure about those being the cuts? ← Absolutely - plays tenor on "Trancendental Meditation" (on "Friends") and flute on "Feel Flows" (on "Surf's Up").

Well, I've come to this thread pretty late, but I'd like to add a few comments. I first discovered Lloyd back in the 1960's on Chico Hamilton's "Drumfusion". Although his playing was Trane-inspired, I liked his passion and his compositional skills. Perhaps my favorite Hamilton with Lloyd is "Man From Two Worlds" (Impulse), featuring the original (and superior) version of "Forest Flower". "Passin' Through" (Impulse) and "A Different Journey" (Reprise) are also very good. Someone close to the Paul Butterfield Band once told me (and you can hear it) that "Passin' Through" was one of the inspirations for "East-West". I saw Lloyd several times back in the mid 1960's in Boston and New York, just after he had left Cannonball and was putting together his quartet with Keith Jarrett. At the time he was signed to Columbia, and had released two excellent LP's, "Discovery" and "Of Course, Of Course", which featured Ron Carter and Tony Williams, who had worked with Lloyd whenever Miles was off. I felt that with "Forest Flower" his playing became, to these ears, diluted, as if his flute playing had influenced his tenor, and not for the better. His popularity soared in the late 60's, as much for the "beads & bell bottoms" image as for the music, which was rather ordinary, I felt. The last time I saw him was around 1972, playing maracas on stage with the Beach Boys. Some of you may already know that he plays on two Beach Boys tracks, "Trancendental Meditation" and "Feel Flows". The Boys, in turn, appear on his albums "Waves" and "Warm Waters". I have liked, but have not been blown away by, his recent stuff on ECM. It does seem more focused that the late 60's playing.

Raking leaves is the price we pay for living amongst trees. I love the big maple in front of my house, it provides shade and a little privacy, and I resign myself to spending a couple of hours every year picking up after it. I wait until they've all come down before I rake 'em up. It's a small price to pay, and it boggles my mind that there are people who would actually CUT DOWN a tree, and sacrifice the beauty it provides, just so their yards would look a little neater. I grew up in a neighborhood that was a new development when my folks bought their house, so there were no trees when we first moved there. My dad planted a number of saplings around the house that took decades to mature. When I look at old pictures that were taken during those years, I'm struck by how barren the neighborhood looked back then! I love driving down an old street with lots of trees! Hate the leaf blowers! Pick 'em up and take 'em away!
