RIP. 91 years is a good run.

Well worth that. Let me know what you think. Very different competing scenes, both very rich.

Agreed, amazing stuff for the most part, and quite the survey of 70's jazz styles also.

Thanks so much for the wonderful BFT. And your English is excellent, no need to apologize! Yes, I am sorry that not more people participate (although you got twice as many people participating as I did on my December BFT). But I did find some new treasures in the Robert Ruff (on my want list) and the Atomic (ordered for $3.99 + shipping on ebay). Thanks again!

Excellent, dependable pianist who played with everyone from Jackie McLean to Hugh Masekela to Blood, Sweat, and Tears. RIP.

How was the condition on the Decluttr CD's. My experience is that they don't seem to even look at what's inside the jewel case when they receive it or sell it.

Yep with that young pitching he could see Rays 2.0.

And I'd love to see him with the Phillies. Two straight utter collapses under Kapler.

They're each between 40-43 minutes, 166 minutes total, according to Allmusic. Why do you ask? imagining a nice 2 CD set?

I'm in for the 2CD version if it has the Woodstock performance, thx.

Wounded Bird has just reissued CD's of the Elvin Jones albums recorded on Vanguard in the mid-70's (in roughly descending order from my decades-old memories: "New Agenda", "The Main Force", "Time Capsule", "Summit Meeting"). They previously reissued the Elvin Jones/Oregon album along with their other Vanguard Oregon titles. Not essential Elvin, but I'll pick up most of them.

This is one of the greatest live 60's rock albums: Interesting history on that group. They lost me then, also (I can't stand most of "Brothers and Sisters", for instance), but regained me 15 years later when Warren Haynes came into the group and revitalized them. I consider him the greatest musician to ever come through that group, which has had plenty of great ones (Duane, Gregg, Betts, Derek Trucks, etc.). Not the original that Duane was, but added onto Duane's work, plus great vocal and songwriting chops.

I do, always have a lot more than I listen to the Dead, and actually have this Warren Haynes work on right now:

I actually loved it in the Allman Brothers, but generally agree with you.

Legit and under $30

I don't really disagree, yet there was a certain something that got sort of homogenized when Mydland came in. For that matter, I can't say I've ever been impressed by any of the GD vocalists or their harmonies, all ride on the verge of being "unlistenable" to me (especially Garcia). My wife thinks they're awful. And yet I listen, over and over again for 50 years. That group was always about feel more than anything IMO. Feel and telepathy and a great bass player.

I'm not a die-hard fan, but do have a good bit by them. And like you, Keith and Donna are my cutoff point. Something definitely changed and lost when they left. If I could only have one GD set, it would be one of the live ones with a looong kick-ass version of "The Other One", as well as some of the "Live/Dead" type stuff.

From the original Nuggets set - the best Dylan parody ever!

Great stuff. An original, though in the long run a wasted talent.

The one-est of one hit wonders:

No idea how "Don't Look Back" didn't become a huge hit. Re: QMS - they became a very different group afterwards,with the addition of Nicky Hopkins and then Dino Valente. Some very good cuts, some not so good cuts, but all a whole different bag than the first two albums.

Nobody sounded like John Cipollina. "The Fool" is still absolutely stunning and unique 50+ years later, as is much of the rest of the first album and almost all of the second album. I agree with that. They each brought an important aspect. Yet I never found their live work nearly as compelling as their studio work (and it was very different).

His composing. He had a style. "White Room", "We're Going Wrong", "As You Said", "Deserted Cities of the Heart", "I Feel Free", "NSU".

For that matter, I might argue Felix Pappalardi was the true visionary. I do own a lot more Bruce solo than Clapton solo.
