Pretty much. He played it on Blues Bag (Vee-Jay, 1964) with Blakey, Victor Sproles, Freddie Hill or Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller & Victor Feldman. It was part of the Feather Encyclopedia of Jazz. Very, very weird one, as you can tell. They do Ornette's "Blues Connotation"!

No surprises here. Thanks all for listening; I very much enjoyed hearing your impressions. 1. Joe McPhee - "Astral Spirits" from Oleo + A Future Retrospective (Hat Hut, 1982) Joe McPhee (ts), Andre Jaume (bcl), Raymond Boni (g) What can I say? My favorite jazz record of all time, about which I once wrote: A tribute to possibility, inspiration, improvisation; to Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Donald & Albert Ayler, Jimmy Guiffre, Neruda, Picasso, Casals, Clifford Thornton, Eric Dolphy. Uplifting and life-affirming music of poetic beauty. Once, I had a thought: how great would it be to play the music of Albert Ayler in the style of Jimmy Giuffre. Joe McPhee had the same idea, apparently. 2. Alexander Hawkins & Louis Moholo-Moholo - "Amaxesha Ozi (Times of Sorrow)" from Keep Your Heart Straight (Ogun, 2012) Alexander Hawkins (p), Louis Moholo-Moholo (d) Obviously if you don't have the album, you should. I love this version, but not much can hold a candle to the version of this song from 1978's Spirits Rejoice. 3. Clusone Trio - "El Condor Pasa" from Rara Avis (hatOLOGY, 1997) Michael Moore (as), Ernst Reijseger (clo), Han Bennink (d) So combustible! What can't this group do? 4. Bill Dixon - "Requiem For Booker Little (1975/76)" from Collection (Cadence, 1985) Bill Dixon (t) No one nailed this down for sure, but some picked out Dixon. A moving piece. FWIW the dreadful needledrop is not my doing-- that's how the Cadence CD sounds. 5. Ed Blackwell Trio - "Take the 'A' Train" from Walls-Bridges (Soul Note, 1996) Dewey Redman (ts), Cameron Brown (b), Ed Blackwell (d) Hard to do a bad version of this tune. Ed Blackwell literally never played a single note I wouldn't deem worth hearing. 6. Kidd Jordan - "Resolution" from Palm of Soul (Aum Fidelity, 2006) Kidd Jordan (ts), William Parker (b), Hamid Drake (d) Not many fans of Kidd's style around I guess. More for me to enjoy! 7. Paul Motian Trio - "Abacus" from Le Voyage (ECM, 1979) Charles Brackeen (ts), JF Jenny-Clark (b), Paul Motian (d) I just love this tune. A perfect example of the Motian compositional style. The version with Chris Potter & Jason Moran is a joy as well. 8. Urs Leimgruber/Joelle Leandre/Fritz Hauser - "Third" from No Try, No Fail (hatOLOGY, 1997) Urs Leimgruber (ts), Joelle Leandre (b, vcl), Fritz Hauser (d) Not for everyone, I know. But to echo a well-worn sentiment here: this is one of the finest examples of free improvisation I know. All-in. 9. Nate Wooley - "Shanda Lea 1" from (Put Your) Hands Together (Clean Feed, 2010) Nate Wooley (t) The rest of the LP, of course, is by Wooley's quintet with Josh Sinton on bass clarinet, Mat Moran on vibes, Enid Opvisk on bass, and Harris Eisenstadt on drums. But this poignant opener is just so amazing. I revel in the beautiful melody and am awed by the way he turns it up & over, in & out, up & down, and resolves back into the tune. A perfect performance. 10. Fred Anderson - "Wandering" from Black Horn Long Gone (Southport, 1993) Fred Anderson (ts), Malachai Favors, (b), Ajaramu (d) This is probably my favorite Fred Anderson record. Some say he sounds meandering to them, but I never feel less than locked-in when listening to Fred play. I think it's this "wandering" sensibility is what draws me most to his music. 11. Dennis Gonzalez New Dallasorleanssippi - "Hymn To Julius Hemphill" from The Desert Wind (Silkheart, 1991) Dennis Gonzalez (t), Charles Brackeen (ts), Michael Session (as), Kim Corbet (tb), Michael Kruge (clo), Henry Franklin (b), Alvin Fielder (d) I'm glad everyone liked this so much. What a great tune, huh? I could listen to it for hours. 12. Schlippenbach Trio - "Gold Is Where You Find It" from Gold Is Where You Find It (Intakt, 2007) Evan Parker (ts), Alexander Von Schlippenbach (p), Paul Lovens (d) Kind of a down note to end on. Admittedly not the most engaging performance they've done, but I really like the quiet insularity of this record and thought the title made for a fine conclusion.

Clean Feed sale is still going with several more titles added.

Whilst you wait, though, Recital (Paris) 1971 and Trio & Duet have just been reissued!

Well, it's listed as forthcoming "Late February-- Delayed" on Dusty Groove. Their Hat pre-listings are always correct-- I'm guessing they have direct contact with Uehlinger. So I think it is safe to say that it's in the next batch.

aka THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS WITH HERBIE HANCOCK

Mann? He did a whole record on bass clarinet.

Andre Jaume! Clifford mentioned him, but Josh Sinton's bcl solos in Nate Wooley's group are outrageously good and original.

I have a dub from a library CD. It's great. Need to track down a copy.

I will read and maybe expound later, but having just watched the film, I find the taste level of the proceedings to be true to the milieu. Jazz school is a whole different beast than the critical establishment and whatever it is we have going on over here. IRL, that kid probably would want to be Buddy Rich and not Max Roach. I found the film to be rather ambiguous re: Andrew. I didn't feel like anything he thinks, feels, does or desires should be perceived by the viewer as the best course of action.

I always receive my packages from Brookline in a timely and proper fashion.

Ditto. The resurgence of this group since 2010-- every record they made together save Night Fire has been re-released since then-- has been a joy. Thanks so J. Horowich for kicking it off. I heard this group for the first time when the Mosaic came out and following the thread has been a major musical highlight of the last 5 years. This is some of my very favorite music.

Placed my order this weekend. Looking forward to getting this very long awaited disc.

I really dug what I heard. Wish there was a CD.

.....K In related news, all remaining Blockbuster Video locations will now open at 9AM.

Personally I'd pass.

Follow it up with Tribute To Masayuki Takayanagi?

Reading a very, very good critical analysis of the Lacy/Aebi/Rzewski albums by Josh Sinton was a stark, almost harrowing, reminder of just how little of this music from the last 45 years has been dealt with on any substantive level. It's hard not to be militant about it sometimes.

Haven't yet felt compelled to spin it a second time but it's thoroughly engrossing and, I think, ACTUALLY pushes the definition of what jazz is and can be.

Squidco has it.

Also listed are upcoming CDs by Stephen Crump/Mary Halvorson, Open Loose, and Roy Campbell tribute by Oliver Lake and William Parker.

Until 2/26. Promo code is HEART. Free shipping on orders $25+ I grabbed 3 from the FMP box set for about $14 a pop: -Schweizer/Carl/Moholo - Messer und... -Schlippenbach Quartett - At Quartier Latin -Die Like A Dog - Close Up Others may have different stories, but in my experience, Deep Discount is a much more reliable seller than Import CDs. I've never had an issue buying from them. (Of course, don't bother with anything on 'Back Order')

Not to me. The price was just under $40. I'd rather invest "full price" in the full product.

here's hoping you've hit the target here's hoping you've hit the target Swing and a miss. It's only 2 CDs. Return submitted. So it goes...

New Schlippenbach Trio ("Features") on Intakt.
