felser

I saw him twice, both in the second half of the 70's. Once in the duo with Chick Corea at the Tower theatre, the other time with VSOP at the Temple Ambler Music Festival. Both were very good, neither was an all-time memory for me.

Just watched the Patrick Stewart version of 'A Christmas Carol', a holiday tradition for our family (as is 'It's a Wonderful Life').

I hope it is!

Still teaching at UCLA? Had his 54th wedding anniversary this year, good for him. 82 years old, a life well-lived, behind the keyboards and otherwise.

Same here. I like Feldman and Previte quite a lot quite often.

Website also indicated that out of stock items for this offer would be filled with "similar items". Reminds me of the very early 70's Record Club of America scheme, where, if they were out of stock on an item you ordered, they just sent something else instead. But in this case, hard to go too far wrong. BTW, I also ordered the Crispell in my bunch. Coxhill gets so weird so often, I shied away from his titles.

Have gleefully started in. Levy really is a remarkable writer.

I also ordered 12: all of the Steve Lacy's, the Don Preston, the 70's one with Gunther Hampel, and three others just as curiosities. Will see what the fill rate is, but I can't go too far wrong with $27.60 to a good cause.

OK got it. ID of #11, and correct! I thought it was a response to mjazzg having not listened yes. And you have NOT overposted! The best gift someone presenting one of these BFT's can get is someone else really digging and responding to some of the music. Thank you so much!

Please enlighten the rest of us, the ignorant masses!

I'm getting it for Christmas (ordered it myself and passed along to wife for under the tree unwrapping!). Will dive in then.

Kevin Toney, the excellent pianist who plays on this also played with White (and both were in The Blackbyrds).

RIP to a master. Amazing run with the Delfonics, Stylistics and Spinners. I especially loved his work with the first two. One of the primary architects of Philly soul.

He had a wife and kids who had to deal with his sustance abuse, lifestyle, and early death.

Yeah, those do exist:

Nothing. My understanding is this: Apparently the police declined to investigate it, according to Gen Lees. Hoffenberg's story is that he accidentally left the bottles at the bar when he left. Lees says Hoffenberg spiked McFarland's and David Burnett's drinks with it. McFarland was a tragic figure on a lot of levels, which does make his story creepy, though fascinating.

Very well done documentary on a most enigmatic figure, thanks!

Klemmer - 'Nexus', 'Waterfalls', 'Involvement' are about the only really good ones that can be found on CD, and the first two will cost you.

$35 shipped in USA. Last price drop before listing it on ebay.

Amazing group, amazing clip, thanks so much for sharing! Musically that is a totally sweet spot for me. And the audience shots are priceless!

Correct on all counts re: Stepney. He was a monster!

Correct! Can't speak to lengths!
