Count me in!

Great to know Greg! I'll try to stop by before the holidays hit. Free jazz!

I like this thread. Let's keep it going.

These 3 recent Clean Feed's are all winners: Paradoxical Frog - Union Michael Attias - Spun Tree (can't say enough about this one) Angelica Sanchez - Wires & Moss Another goodie on Cunieform is Living By Lanterns - New Myth/Old Science. And don't forget the new Formanek on ECM - even better than The Rub And Spare Change.

I appreciate the Fischer being brought to my attention and enjoyed it overall. It made me also get Thesaurus so I could get a better sense of him. I'd be down with the Tapscott if you released it.

I'm with JSngry, Liebman has come across as ambivalent about the music he was involved with. In some interviews he seems to think it wasn't that great, but he didn't help a lot, IMO. Sonny Fortune I think was the best during the Agartha period.

Who's on it? I couldn't tell from the site.

I like After Appleby and Natives & Aliens quite a bit. I almost went for the Loft Exile V, so I'd be interested to get your thoughts as you listen more.

On Pop Market, John Coltrane - The Heavyweight Champion box set for $50. About 13 hours left for the deal.

I received my shipment a couple of days ago via airmail. Listening to Ninetet (Yoshi's) v. 2 as we speak! It's gonna be non-stop Braxton around here for awhile.

Thanks very much for posting this. looking forward to hearing it Just finished listening to this - fantastic.

Interesting, thanks

Johnny Griffin avant garde? Really? Maybe, if you think Prince Robinson was a bebopper... I'm just being tongue-in-cheek. You see, when it comes to my own musical skill, I don't believe in those square concepts like "melody", "harmony", or "tonality"...

That's it - I'm going to quit my job, play avant-garde sax, and get rich!

Tom, you're still around! How are things in Par-ee?

Every time I see Dahl's name, I think of Carson Dyle:

Greg and Jim, you guys playing tonight at The Meridian?

I would have loved to have heard Mr. Ware with Cyrille. I did hear him live once in Raleigh right after Go See The World came out with Shipp, Parker and Dickey.

When do you play there next? Probably next week but I haven't confirmed that. Personnel changes are looming though. I can sit in on "atonal sax"!

Just read this news via Bernard Lyons that Mr. Ware passed away tonight.

When do you play there next?

Well, LMFAO!

Jazz Loft has it currently in stock.

Like Colinmce, I first heard him on Duets (Wesleyan) 2002 and now consider him, along with Mary Halvorson, to be the two finest current interpreters of Braxton's music. Any CD with the Diamond Curtain Wall trio of Braxton, Halvorson and Bynum, or Quartet with Bassoonist Katherine Young, is worthwhile. Of his own work I like Asphalt Flowers quite a bit; I was a little disappointed in Apparent Distance. Between him, Nate Wooley and Peter Evans, the future of the trumpet is bright.

I felt that way last time I saw the band, about 2 years ago. And I love Threadgill, but I didn't love the two prior Pi releases. Up Popped Two Lips was, for me, his most recent totally great album. That's my feeling as well. Gosh, how'd you get so smart?
