This is bound to happen, I just paid $20 for a Liberty era pressing of Mo' Green Please! I've had an early pressing of Brown Sugar for years and Your Move on tape (from back before it was reissued). Would still buy a Mosaic Select, especially if thaey included some unissued stuffs. I dig Freddie Roach almost as much as John Patton (got 'em all, one way or another).

I think maybe you kinda had to be there?

One star is a bit harsh, I feel it's at least twice that good!

OK, I don't think she's as bad as Madeline Peru (sic) and may end up having more of a career, how's that for concilatory?

For a long time Ramblin' & Loney Woman were head and shoulders my favorites. But I've come to appreciate many of his other tunes as well. Two I particularly like, not mentioned yet: Old Gospel & The Legend of Bebop.

If you're on the fence, this is a lovely thing and I need to listen to mine more! (Bought used for $50, sorry Chuck!)

I found a SEALED copy of Harold Land's Peacemaker on Cadet for $12. The store had 30 or so SEALED (did I mention that?) Argos &Cadets: Ahmad Jamal, Ramsey Lewis, Rusty Bryant, Kenny Burrel, Lou Donaldson, Phil Upchurch, Etta James, etc. I don't know if he's got them up on his web site yet but you could check www.vinylrestingplace.com or email at mail@vinylrestingplace.com. Or make your way out to St. Johns if you live in the Ptld (OR) area. i also found a Liberty pressing of Mo' Greens Please for $20 at Crossroads on Hawthorne. Lots of good stuffs all over, silly me I go and lose $ I could have spent on records in the poker machines. At least I'm helping to balance the state budget...

Previous thread, I was among the 'nays', still am...

Too late, consistently.

Loved seeing them and "the Lickettes" on their rare TV appearances 'back in the day'....

No, I believe the 1st Jim Hall was (only? or are there more than one version on CD?) on CD in it's edited (but undubbed) incarnation (perhaps some kind soul could link to the previous discussion of this tawdry tale).

I liked the review of this CD which likened Pharogh's playing thereon to "a cow being tortured, but in a good way..."

Happy (day after my) birthday to me!

re: Ask the Ages Try playing it out of order, the leadoff tune is probably the least 'accessible', other than that try counting the overdubbed Sonnys... Re: Dave Holland Totally respect as a player, love Conference of the Birds, like the Steve Coleman era, kinda underwhelmed by the more recent stuff but don't know as I'd quite call it "boring".

fINISHED THE BIO, NOT BAD BUT AFTER 'BOUT THE HUNDRETH 'HE SEEMED FIERCE BUT REALLY HE WAS A PRETTY NICE GUY' TESTIMONY IT GOT A LITTLE OLD (sorry 'bout going all aric on ya, i didn't notice the caps lock...). Interesting read, but mostly 'cause Wolf was an interesting guy.

It does, indeed, look v. nice and $100 or thereabouts would be pretty reasonable...my birthday's Oct. 4!

spontooneous: Thanks, I like that one too! Most under-rated is a hard question, by who?

Is the above mentioned Walrath the one 'with two Willies'?

I enjoyed some Flip this weekend too. They didn't wast any $ on sets, did they?

I read on the web recently (sorry, I forget where) that Mr. Shepp's embachour probs are the result of the lingering effects of an operation of some sort. Anyone know anything more about this? As an amateur sax player it hurts my mouth to even think about this.

My 4th was relatively calm this year, but there have been times when you couldn't drive past my house or around the park at the end of the block. Too bad 'cause you can see the official display from the park but not from my house. My two year old skipped her nap, went to bed early and slept through the worst of it. Lot's of display firworks just a street or two over. Hosed the yard down as best I could in the afternoon but I'm surprised it doesn't 'cause more fires (as far as I know just one house burnt down last year).

Count me among the "totally stoked". I've been going through an intense Ayler thing in anticipation. I've even come to appreciate the 'with strings' bands/recordings, listened to the Impulse dbl Live in the Village the other night and it all made perfect sense, Even Sampson whose playing I'd previously had more trouble with than any of his regular sideman...(this is not an anti-violin thing, I love Charles Burnam, Stuff Smith, Billy Bang and all sorts of country fiddlers). Any recommendations on the best sound quality version of Spiritual Unity to tide me over? Also, anyone know of sheet music (tunes and/or solos); a sax teacher wrote out Ghosts for me, sometimes it's the only thing I feel like playing.

I think I prefer the alt of HH's "Blind Man" to the master, the extra twist in the bass line gives it more 'kick' IMHO.

I've got an idea for a little classroom exercise that might prove enlightening (or not). Pick two cuts from Bitches Brew: one that was pieced together from numerous bits in post-production ("Pharoh's Dance"? I don't have the box in front of me) and another that was one continuous 'real time' take. Don't tell them which is which, let them see if they can here a difference first, then tell them and see what they think. It may be a total nonissue to them and they might be surprised at the opinion of guys like Martin William's who thought that "In a Slinet Way/It's About That Time" was clearly an editing error.... The only drawback is that the tunes of this era are mostly so long that this would eat up a lot of class time. Whatcha think?

Perhaps I wasn't clear: it's not the folkness of the material that I have a prob with, it's Carmel et al's seeming need to make it 'hip'...I know this is not an attitude unique to this group or this material, but for some reason it bugs me more here. There are 'jazzed up' folk tunes that work perfectly well for me, e.g. Coltrane's "Greensleeves" or even Clifford Jordan's Leadbelly album, but this one doesn't. Carmel et al can certainly play, but I gotta wonder why they did this material. One of the things I like about guys like Ayler is that they (seemed to?) reject the whole notion of 'hipness'...but that's probably a rant for another thread.
