Don Ellis - Tears Of Joy [Columbia]

I didn't know about this album. Something to definitely investigate now I read what it contains I was a big BVSC fan at the time of the first album and that first round of solo albums. A couple of very memorable live shows too

Good to see the milk of human kindness runneths over. Such empathy bowls me over You obviously knew him very well to be able to make such insightful comments on his psyche or maybe you're being exactly what you say you're trying not to be. No two people's challenges and problems are alike.

Enjoying this on a sunny London afternoon, prompted by the Clare Fischer thread

Enjoying the first listen to this one...not in the slightest Clunky

Prince Lawsha - Firebirds Live At Monterey Jazz Festival, volume 3 [Birdseye]

and thanks for the warning about The Nightcrawler, I'll be careful with the iplayer.

Perhaps they could replace 'Thought For The Day' with daily snippets of the album

Now if Mosaic could only find and release some unreleased Coltrane I'm sure they'd find lots of takers and considerable media interest...

thank you

Damn, missed it. All Bolloxit now, go Bojo go

I like vol.1 too. Vol.3 is currently in the post. If I stopped buying all these LPs I might be able to afford an upgrade

Prince Lawsha - Firebirds Live At Berkeley Jazz Festival, Volume 2 [Birdseye]

Dembo Konte & Kausu Kuyateh - Simbomba [Rogue} with thanks to paul secor

I hope it's living up to the hype

Henry Threadgill Very Very Circus - Spirit Of Nuff...Nuff [Black Saint] this line up was responsible for one of my most exciting live musical experiences.

It's an extraordinary album, a favourite amongst many of Mr Threadgill's. I have all the music in the box on LP/CD apart from the unreleased partner session to X-75. Sometimes when I listen to X-75 I think I should have bought the box just for that session but then sense prevails...it's long gone into the stratosphere of out-of-print Mosaic pricing now On vinyl? Interesting to see Ogun riding the wave It wasn't just the media, our dear leader of the time did her best to thoroughly besmirch the man - another moment in the catalogue of her shame (oops, sorry political alert)

Henry Threadgill - X-75 Volume 1 [Novus]

Henry Threadgill's Zooid - Pop Start The Tape, Stop [Hardedge]

I was surprised to his death covered by one of our main news programmes yesterday evening. Last Poets are a group I've read more about than listened to. Perhaps I should rectify that

Mentioned on the Masakela thread

Derek Bailey & Evan Parker - The London Concert [Oto Roku]

Yukihiro Isso & Roger Turner - Takanehishigu [Oto Roku] Wolfgang Fuchs - So-und? So! [Uhlklang]
