last night on wkcr-fm host mitch goldman with guest host saxophonist eric person playing and knowledgeably discussing rare recording dates with 2 seminal(even more so 40 years later)musical titans, neither of which were commercially released. both recordings originated in 1969. the first was a recording of a live miles davis "lost quintet" from the french riviera in 1969. the quintet at this time included shorter(still mostly on tenor), corea, dejohnette, and dave holland. the group was relaxed, at its peak, and smokin.' the second was an apparently never released 1969 nyc collaboration between jimmy hendrix and organist larry young with 2 unknown sideman, possibly from hendrix band. while in studio for other recording sessions. i believe that this was from the personal collection of person. i'm not sure this music can be defined, but it is fabulous music. there is bt one vocal. hendrix colors and inventiveness are from another world.

i always tune out his blathering, for sanity's sake, but wkcr would have long ago abandoned jazz, were it not for phil's efforts.

now, until 6pm eastern. featuring bill dixon, george lewis, roscoe mitchell, wadada leo smith. wkcr.org

24 hour roy eldridge festival starting at midnight tonight eastern on wkcr.org.

http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/ until 430 pm eastern as sideman, 1630 to 1900 as leader.

WORLD WIDE APPEAL from Maya Homburger and Barry Guy to set up a fund for ERHARD HESSLING Submitted by NoBusiness Records on Tue, 2010-01-05 00:11. announcement: Dear all, this appeal goes to musicians who have worked closely with Erhard over the last ten years, to musicians and friends who know him , to organisers, clubs, festivals and to all the fans of improvised music who have enjoyed a variety of events thanks amongst others to Erhard’s management, commitment and first of all love for the music and the musicians. Some of you might know, and to some it might come as a surprise that he is in a crisis situation right now, which needs to be sorted out URGENTLY. For a variety of reasons, also related to Erhard’s severe illness three years ago and also linked to the general financial crisis, which makes it more difficult to set up extended tours, find funding, cheap travel etc. etc., he has got himself into a situation, where he cannot even pre-fund upcoming tours and sadly has large accumulated debts. He needs urgently some funds, to be able to clear all debts and to start again, probably only part time as a manager, but also exploring new areas. We feel very strongly, that this is a moment, where we all: musicians and audience a like should pull together and collect enough funds for Erhard to get out of his frightening situation. Erhard has been an invaluable manager behind the scenes and is directly responsible for some of the most amazing musical experiences for musicians on tour, for audiences in clubs and in many festivals during the last years. Now, that he needs help, please make a gesture - small or large. With many joining in, it will add up to a substantial sum, which we can then hand over to Erhard. As it happens, we still have a Euro bank account in Ireland, which we were just about to close. But in the hope that hundreds of people might want to pay in their contributions, we would keep it open until we are in Ireland in February. At this point, we would close it, and collect the cash for Erhard. The main reason behind this: to avoid taxation or any other silly charges. If there are any specific questions, please send us an e-mail on : info@maya-recordings.com Ideally, you send money directly, and please as soon as possible to the account below, either from personal funds, or from the proceeds of benefit concerts, or from your next CD sales on tour or whatever. Every little bit will help. We are hoping for MANY people to join this fund raising action. THANKS for your help !!! Kind greetings from both of us Maya and Barry Here are the account details: please mark your payment : E.H.

my late wife and i WERE great fans of the slow jam. his voice was, and still is, magical. the memories that come up tonight...............

i heard a very nice thing on wnur from him on cleanfeed with cello. cleanfeed has a decent website. i just might order it if they download.

i just heard a new, to me, saxophonist, andy laster. his thing seems to be a very adventurous, but very elegant chamber jazz. most of that type of music quickly falls flat with me, but this guy seems much more interesting, with a lovely lovely tone. does anyone know anything about andy?

many organissimo posters, most notably clementine, have expressed very strong, often brutal, often very original well-thought opinions,\ about music, musicians, and other things. i most always found a solid kernel of truth and great sincerity in what he was trying to say. i consider the comments made in this thread no less.

the mental quickness certainly impressed me. some mental flash has depth and meaning; much does not. i clearly need to investigate more. thanks to all for the thoughtful, knowledgeable comments.

we wish your blues project well.

i am now listening to vijay iyer perform bernstein's somewhere. god, i hope that he has performed a great number of standards. the quickness of his mind, his technique, and taste puts him into VERY rare territory.

you can find an rca pearl mp3(2 gig) player at walmart for about $30. one aaa battery lasts at least 40 hours. changing the program involves plugging into a usb drive(it is read as another drive) and you can change programs the way you move things in and out of any other drive. the thing is about the shape and size of a round cigarette lighter and is very durable. i recommend it highly, with your headphones, of course. i record with a free format called mp3 pro which makes 64k sound every bit as ggood as 128, and effectively doubles the capacity. 2 gigs is a great variety of music.

awesome! thanks

hey-i've owned that baby 40 years. i done plum forgot it. thanks

the middle ground idea is briliant, and much more plausible than the article.

i just heard some really swinging tasty standards work, previously unknown to me, from country guitarist hank garland and a very young gary burton. did they have much of a musical relationship?
