The new one isn't working for me. I think it would have benefited from a good bit more rehearsal (also a common malady on many of the more complex Muse dates of the era, as well as several other small labels including some Strata East dates). I can see why it wasn't released in the 70's.

Terry Callier - 'What Color Is Love'. "Dancing Girl" from this moves me in ways nothing else does, and it's probably the single song (any artist) I have played most frequently over the past decade. There are times, often late at night, where I have to here it, nothing else will do.

Oh yeah, one of his greatest albums. Those late-BN and early Milestone albums were stunning.

Only this one that I'm aware of, and no CD release for it.

Thanks, I mm aware of that - I was a big fan of early Dire Straits.

Tina was another who escaped a monster of a man. The 'Private Dancer' album was such a triumph on so many levels.

Hard to believe "River Deep, Mountain High" stiffed on the pop charts here (huge in England). Tina was another who escaped a monster of a man. The 'Private Dancer' album was such a triumph on so many levels.

RIP to a fascinating musician. He was, of course, an expert jazz bassist and composer, but also did great work in a number of styles for Vanguard and other record labels. Also had a profound effect on his son Spike (see "Crooklyn", based on the family, if you haven't). For all the wide variety of work he did with Max Roach and so many others, his composing and playing on this cut is what I will always think of first when I hear his name.

Did Jymie Merritt switch before them? He was on EB by Lee Morgan's Live at the Lighthouse. And do you count Stanley Clarke in there?

I'm interested and surely others would be also. Just cd's for me.

Did he really have good nights as late as 1983? Honest question. I've never heard any 80's work by him that even approached his 60's/70's prime.

Same here, thx!

Got mine from Bandcamp some weeks ago. It's a really good set, two full albums of great sounds. Bang and Lowe were such a good front line together.

Totally agree. Just do 3 CD set, one for each of the years.

Me neither, just a couple of Camel albums.

I've muted one guy who I believe is no longer around. Prickly opinions opposed to mine I'm fine with (this forum is not for the faint of heart - a different forum crowd called us "wild and woolly'). Direct attacks on me because I don't agree with your opinion, not so much. I see Jim as one of the great things about this forum, and I've learned a lot about this music from him. Never knew Catesta. I liked Paul, but he could be awfully prickly himself, and I experienced being on the other end of that.

It's different performances (live versions done as a concert for the film) of the same 14 songs. Different enough to be worthwhile, and if anything, I prefer this one.

The great flautist Lloyd McNeill also studied with Pablo Picasso and won several photography awards. From his obituary: "McNeill published two volumes of poetry, including “Blackline: A Collection of Poems, Drawings, and Photographs,” and “After the Rain: A Collection of New Poems.” In 2001, he was chosen by the USPS to design a postage stamp for the celebration of Kwanzaa in 2009.".

I got this from another board member several years ago, and like it a lot.

I know I'm really old. Relevant question, I guess. Since I know Rickie Lee Jones, Pat Metheny, Harry Nilsson, and Minnie Riperton all very well, does that mean I already know the Orb? After all, I also have a music collection I can play bits of.
