Hope this finally gets released. Very interesting concert from what I've heard. Here's some eyewitness accounts of it: http://www.wildmusic-jazz.com/jcfh661111.htm

Albert Ayler, Love Cry. David Rosenboom & J.B. Floyd, Suitable for Framing.

Previous bootleg series issues have come out on vinyl, so hopefully this one will get the same treatment.

Tom Buckner, Gerald Oshita and Roscoe Mitchell, New Music for Woodwinds and Voice.

Rosenboom put out some interesting albums in the 1970s. I recommend the two-piano one with J.B. Floyd. He was also on the Mike Douglas show when John Lennon and Yoko Ono were co-hosts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-OaumT8w8o

That's the one they printed with the wrong album title. Later re-released as "Six Compositions For Quartet." Great band. I need to pick this up one of these days--it's one of the few Braxton quartet albums I don't own

Since most of you seem to be on a Jeanne Lee kick, I'm now playing Broadway by Gunther Hampel and the Galaxie Dream Band. It has one of those generic Birth covers you are supposed to colour yourself.

Love that Milt Stegall miracle TD.

That's a great record. Miles Davis, Big Fun. Jimmy Lyons-Sunny Murray Trio, Jump Up/What to Do About David Holland/Barre Phillips, Music from Two Basses

Open Sky, with Dave Liebman, Frank Tusa and Bob Moses (PM Records). Interesting trio recordings from two 1972 sessions which straddle Liebman's first session with Miles Davis on On the Corner. Liebman sure covers a lot of musical ground.

Capricorn Rising, Don Pullen with Sam Rivers. Just found it at a record shop and I like what I am hearing.

Nicra, Listen/Hear (Ogun). Nice quintet date led by trombonists Nick Evans and Radu Malfatti (back when he played hot trombone as opposed to staring at his shoe). Keith Tippett, Buschi Niebergall and Makaya Ntshoko are also on board.

Roscoe Mitchell, Old / Quartet (Nessa) Lukas Foss / Jan Williams - Elytres / Paradigm / Ni Bruit Ni Vitesse / Dream Lesson Yves Nat, Beethoven Piano Sonatas (Haydn Society)

Happy Birthday!

Very interesting. That really does sound like an actual sample. Segment appears around the 18:15 make of "On the Corner; New York Girl; Thinkin' One Thing and Doin' Another; Vote for Miles."

Dig that musical saw.

Air, Montreux Suisse. That's a pretty fine array! Got to get my hands on that Lacy "Outings." It's a great one, I highly recommend it. Lacy solo, overdubbing himself at times.

Steve Lacy, Outings. Lauren Newton, Timbre. Arthur Blythe, The Grip.

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

I was in Scotland in a "fry shop" and was getting tired of eating deep-fried food (burgers, haggis, Mars bars--you name it, they'll drop it in the deep-fryer), so I ordered a slice of pizza, figuring I'd be safe. To my horror, they picked up the pizza and dropped it in the deep fryer. Had a burger cooked the same way and it was revolting.

I gave that a spin today as well. Bradford is the Kenny Dorham of the cornet--as in highly underrated--but I'm glad this album is getting lots of love.

I've got the Braxton House CDs but did not know about this LP. Interesting! Curious as to sound quality? It sounds good. Definitely one of Braxton's best alto solo albums. I believe Brandon Evans ranked it as is favourite. Apparently, co-producer Velibor Pedevski opted to release it on vinyl because it sounded much better than the proposed CD. It was supposed to have been released with the original Braxton House CDs back in 1996 or '97, but it didn't come out until 2003.

Burger King.

Anthony Braxton, Solo (Skopje) 1995. Really nice solo set from Braxton. It was supposed to be among the first Braxton House CDs, but never got issued until it appeared on overpriced vinyl 10 years ago. It can be downloaded from the Tri-Centric Foundation site at http://tricentricfoundation.org/label/braxton-house/solo-skopje-1995/

Where did you read this? (Not doubting, just wondering about the source.) Two of my all-time favorite improvisers. I wouldn't think to put them together, but who knows ... It's from interviews with Lacy collected in the book Conversations. I don't have the book in front of me, but I believe they played together not long before Giuffre recorded his album at the Five Spot. I'm think that combination would have worked much better a few years later.
