Dont understand what that photo means. I was talking about a drummer J.C. Moses whom I love. And even if my cell phone wrote "Blackway" instead of "Blackwell" it´s not the point. WHO KNOWS a bit more about J.C. Moses, perhaps you older guys, did someone catch him live. What was his live about. Even photos of him are rare. Two or three that´s all.

is this a late recording. He looks pretty old. When did he stop performing ?

yeah, that was my Samsung with "Blackway"

oh I see. I don´t have much mosaic, because often it contains stuff I already have. i have the Clifford Jordan Strata East box, because though I had Rhythm X as a kid on tape, I lost it. Love the rest too, less the more conventional hard bop things, more the stuff with Don Cherry, Ed Blackway, and Pharoah Sanders. That´s more my since quite a while.

That´s a very good record, I think I have the hamburg concedrt from Uncle Poe´s

it has Dance of the Infidels on it all those early BN are nice, but I think they are very hard to find. I have only the card sleeve from Japan, maybe they did not sell well because they never were seen here in Europe when I was young and learning to dig Hank

I love J.C. Moses, with the NY Contemporary Five, with Dolphy, with Andrew Hill and Sam Rivers..... everything. And I love him with Bud on the live recordings from Birdland. He is great also on the Roulette record, but it is not Bud´s very best album albeit a pretty one. I heard once a story that his last years were quite bitte. He was stabbed by a woman and injured on kidney, needed dialysis, couldn´t work regularly, stayed with his mother and sporadically played, fantastic but told about his kidney ailure and dialysis. I heard, Ed Blackway had the same bad luck

A good one, very nice for after hours, after a gig.... oh I see ! Yeah, money was scarce, had the same problem. Had a girlfriend mega beautiful and money, but my honour was my sin....I wanted to brag that I´m in the money too and invited her to expensive venues and stuff. Man, after that nice relation for some months (quite long for me then), I was BROKE ! Yeah man, we both.....memories......

It´s a very good one, but most I liked the last track from another venue: "We´ll Meet Again". When you imagine, that it´s quite possible that they never met again since he died so young. I also like very much the other from Germany, from about the same time, with Mulgrew Miller. Larry Willis is a good piano player, but I loved Mulgrew more, and Tony Reedus more. Stafford James is great ! I don´t really know much about it, but "Summer 85" brings other memories to me: In a small town in lower austria there was one festival, never repeated, but it had the greatest stars ever: Miles Davis, Astrud Gilberto, Pharoah Sanders, Jackie McLean, Jamaladeen Tacuma, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Witherspoon - Dee Dee Bridgewater, Modern Jazz Quartet, Woody Herman, Charlie Haden Libration Orchestra, Joe Zawinul.....

When I heard the first track, I was disappointed, it sound´s like some back ground music in a shopping mall, and after felt 1000 times the spoken words "Our roots belong to Africa" I really was bored. BUT: Then came the 2nd track and THAT´s it. That´s the kind of music I could hear 24 hours the day. So beautiful ! So, forgot about the first tune, love the rest of the album !

Incredible great bassist !

It´s interesting because it is like the one I have. When I was in my teens my first two Charlie Parker LPs were "Savoy Mastertakes" and a strange one "Jazz Tracks", and exactly on the latter one the tunes are splitted like you have it on this obviously also quite old album . Later I purchased a CD where the tunes are not splitted, which also has the whole concert, that means also the tracks with Dizzy´s Big Band, without Bird

Youve to to have some Freedom ! Wonderful !

I just purchased the Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra. Heard the first CD which seems to be the originally issued one. Great ! Looking forward listening the other 2, which I suppose are previously unissued. I had only the ”Nothing Is” which was my first Sun Ra when I was a kid. The others I have are contemporanous from the time he was alive, that means in my case from the late 70s on, with June Tyson, and a mixture of avantgarde and old Fletcher Henderson with space sound. For me, Sun Ra is one of my mentors. I think I got something from him when I compose, at least sometimes. He is always present for me. I even have one of my body tattoos with the sybol of RA and the letters written "Sun Ra". So beautiful ! For me he is in the same row like Duke Ellington !
