Saw him less than a year ago, he certainly still is an imposing presence. Plays pretty good too. Many happy returns to him.

You're right, you are a hopeless snob.

Hmm, I'll have to get back to you but I 'll try to not take too long.

Because I don't have to pick one or the other, i can and will listen to both and (hopefully) enjoy both on their own terms.

Damn, that is scary!

Depends by whom, people here not so much, but the general public or the more casual jazz fan, yeah pretty much...relative to how good he was.

Keith hasn't looked that good in years

Not where I can listen right now, but I'll try to get to it later, Thanks.

Perhaps because few of us have ever heard it?

36 discs and none with Levon drumming (I think he bailed in late '65 but still...)?

OMG, i think we have a winner!

No, 'class of' is year finished so the class of 65 entered in 61...

Portland's jazz fest is going to be 'Trane themed too, I honestly wish they wouldn't...do something new/unique/local instead, please.

Always loved this cover, and the music.

Another offshoot from reading about Harold Arlen is re-listening to Wiley Sings..., was she making purposefully obscure choices on this and her other songbooks, or was there no cannon yet?

Just got Bailey's Standards which is like the first stab at Ballads...more thoughts later.

Guess we can't do that knock knock joke any more!

That's a nice old woody...

An AOTW I have and like, yay! I love Monk, I love (good) tributes, I know exactly jack shit about 'real latin music'. My test for a great tribute is does it tell me some thing new about both parties. This one did.

The head, not the solos, just to clarify. Still it's a better rendition of the fully developed head than I've seen elsewhere - Ayler continuously developed this, adding elements. Joe worked out fully as a single line - I'll have to figure out the counter-melodies Albert played later.

You mean 9/18, no?

I took sax lessons breifly with Joe Cunningham of the Blue Cranes. He did a great job transcribing Ayler's "Ghosts" for me.

The Oct 2016 issue of downbeat has a blindfold test with Dr. Lonnie Smith and the Oct Jazztimes has an interview with Marshall Allen and articles on Miles 'Lost Quintet' and Ayler. What year is it?
