I seem to recall that album had an interesting discographical history, with a few different songs replacing others on subsequent pressings. Had the CD for a while, which had a nice version of "I Remember Clifford."

The Mingus Atlantic box set.

Jerome Cooper, For the People (Hat Hut), with Oliver Lake.

With ESP, it's pretty much a guarantee you are going to find the opposite inside.

I mostly buy from record shops or record fairs. Online, I use Discogs or straight from the label.

Karl Berger and Edward (aka Ed) Blackwell, Just Play (Quark). Don Elliott, Mellophone (Bethlehem).

I've often wondered about that one. How does it stack up against other Bluietts? Fine but not earth-shattering. I agree. It's more of a Melis and Moye show, than a Bluiett date. A bit eccentric at times, but interesting enough not to add to the for sale pile.

Hamiett Bluiett, Marcello Melis and Don Moye, Bars (Musica). Melis wrote all the tunes.

Bill Dixon, November 1981.

I'd love to hear more by that saxophonist, Zbyszek Namyslowski. Any recommendations? That's the only album I've heard him on and he is indeed fabulous on it. He does have an extensive discography--would be interested to hear others' opinions.

Krzystof Komeda's Astigmatic is a classic.

Green did many great sessions with John Patton, including Let 'Em Roll. The two dates for Blue Note with Baby Face Willette are also very enjoyable.

The Incredible Kai Winding Trombones (Impulse).

Listening to Side C, which for some reason never made it to CD.

I never did find a detailed account of what the issues are and most of the online references to the lawsuit have disappeared since the "truce." There's a few references here: http://beta.forcedexposure.com/ReviewJohnFahey.aspx http://www.paristransatlantic.com/magazine/monthly2004/11nov_text.html

Now you made me curious. What was that lawsuit involving Ayler's estate? Where did you read about it? It involved Bernard Stollman of ESP fame and I believe a faction of the Ayler state. The lawsuit effectively brought Revenant to a standstill.

Either a mistake or someone had second thoughts and edited the tune. The back cover also claims that "Lumkili" is split across two sides while the label has it on Side B only.

Miles Davis, Big Fun. "Big Fun" was released as a single and was also a preliminary name for one of the songs the live band frequently played during that era.

There are worse NHL trades than the Gretzky one. Sure the Oilers gave up the game's greatest player and yes, Carson didn't up to expectations, but the Oilers won a Stanley Cup two years later.

Kesarbai Kerkar (Canary/Mississippi Records).

It is wonderful stuff. I used to be Wyatt-era die-hard, but have been enjoying some of the later stuff, like 6, Bundles and the live disc with Phil Howard. They were like Rasputin, every time they'd put out a mediocre album and lose a key member you would think they'd be finished but they would bounce back.

I don't know how active 2.13.61 is at the moment, but lots of stuff has been released over the years, including Charles Gayle and Matthew Shipp CDs.

For those wanting more info on the Live Trane errors, here's David Wild's page on the matter: http://www.wildmusic-jazz.com/livetrane.htm

First issued on vinyl back in 1977. Used to look like this:

Pepper Adams with Zoot Sims and Elvin Jones, Encounter!
