Steve Lacy - Catch. Duo with Kent Carter- Horo 1978 - lyrical and intimate. Love late 70's early 80's lacy - probably cause that's when I started to listen but also because he was really hitting everything.

If you were in St. Paul it could be the same copy. Once you tune out the horns the drumming is impressive but not that well recorded.

Milford Graves - Babi. Trio with Arthur Doyle and Hugh Glover. First play in 15 years and despite all the weird stuff I listen to I still don't really get it....

Unity - Sun Ra Horo. Full band. Ra on organ - nice.

Saw him Monday with Gerald Clayton, Ruben Rogers, Eric Harland - trio was tight and working damn hard - Lloyd a faint echo of middle period Trane and meh...

Marion Brown - Recollections - solo playing tunes just put it on and still really beautiful.

I was listening to Daunik Lazro and Phil Minton - Alive at Sonorities this weekend... It's....something.

Marcus Rojas also nicely featured with Lester Bowie and Dave Douglas' brass bands. A direct link to a direct influence for Douglas I think.

Azar Lawrence - Bridge Into the New Age. As far into spiritual soul jazz as I wander - non vocal tracks are quite fine. Jean Carn continus to do nothing for me.

Clark Terry - Color Changes original stereo candid issue $2.50.... Not a bad find for a stop on the way home today.

Jlh I have original vinyl of every record you have and are planning to release and I'm buying all again from you. The Hemphill was a stocking stuffer for 7 people 2 yrs back - keep up the good fight.

Do you ever play in Maine? I escaped in 78 (it was even worse then) but am back 1-2 x a year to see family - hang at Popham beach etc..

I am pretty sure the numbers represent the size of the groups - though I may remember one or two incorrectly - plus the owl has Butch Morris on only one side (the great one). I think the number of percussionists varies from track to track on prospectus. I can check at home later today.

loved the article and love Sheila - only question is when is she going to be in Maine? I go every summer and would love to time it to see her. I saw her in the spring in chicago with my 15 yr old daughter who loved her and it would make the trip home even more worth it.
