I like Brandford atmospheric contribution to https://www.amazon.com/Wake-Up-FiBnd-Out-Uniondale/dp/B00LNT6E2U Looks like I am not alone and he will be remembered as a footnote of Grateful Dead history indeed ...

Looks like it was overlooked here also ... https://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2018/03/06/masterful-but-overlooked-chicago-jazz-drummer-robert-barry-has-died

Thanks a lot for those recommendations. I'll follow ...

Which disc (or song) would you recommend, John ? I love Franco and Nico (with or without Rochereau) but was less enthousiastic with Papa Wemba ... RIP.

I guess Quincy Jones is unbeatable: http://celebsnetworth.net/quincy-jones-net-worth/

Listening a lot of Hancock those last days, I've especially appreciated Tokyo1987 and Montreux 1988 with Michael Brecker (never issued on LP or CD, I guess). Unfortunately, the sound is not that good Is there any Hancock - Brecker from this period and with a decent sound ? Thanks in advance ...

A few weeks ago, I went to an african restaurant in Paris one of the 27 ? ex-wives of Fela Kuti runs. Big photography of both together on the wall. She was and still is a beauty and she looks like a charming lady but unfortunately the mafé was the worst I'de ever eaten. Awful meat and oily, oily in the extreme ... BTW, music was OK. No Fela but at least Seun Kuti.

Thanks brownie for this marvel ! He looks like a young man ...

Daniel Humair, Ivo Perelman, Brotzmann, Han Bennink are painters too.

My fave Pee Wee Russell "Swinging with Pee Wee" has Tommy Flanagan on piano. Derek Bailey with Tony Williams (Arcana), Tacuma (Mirakle) and on a David Sylvian record Encounters of Braxton with Brubeck, Waldron, Max Roach, Wolf Eyes, ... Max Roach also with Cecil Taylor and Archie Shepp (separetely) Evan Parker on 2 Robert Wyatt records Sam Woodyard on the best song of Steve Lacy's The Door And one of the great oop live session I got from dimeadozen is 1981 Benny Goodman sextet with ... Philip Catherine !
