Pete Cosey.

As noted in a couple of posts above, they pinched Jarrett's "Long As You Know Your'e Living Yours." He threatened to sue and subsequently got a co-composers credit.

Toronto 35.

He's actually on two cuts on Get Up With It — "He Loved Him Madly" and "Calypso Frelimo" — but he only plays flute on both.

His best work with Davis was live. Of the official releases, he's heard best on the 1973 Montreux live show. Unfortunately, that's part of a 20 CD box. He has some nice moments on Dark Magus, despite sharing the stage with Azar Lawrence for the second half.

It was a royalties thing. It's possible she may have had a hand in some of the pieces beyond the lyrics, but there are all Ayler pieces, except for the blues songs, which Ayler co-wrote with Henry Vestine and Bill Folwell. "Water Music" actually dates back to the Ronald Shannon Jackson era. A pretty good single album could be created out of the final two Impulse albums.

I've rarely received shipping confirmation when buying from Leo. But usually he ships them fast.

They are worth it, even at full price. An interesting shelf-clearing exercise of unreleased tapes and old Leo lps. At least one disc per box set is excellent. I highly recommend the Guyvoronsky/Volkov, Homo Liber, Orkestrion, Chekasin and Vysniauskas discs. Some interesting stuff on the Andrew Solovyev/Igor Grigoriev and Vapirov discs as well.

I remember Ed Dipple telling me about seeing that group at Club 43 in Manchester. IIRC Roswell Rudd was with them. That's the one Bill, plus Grachan Moncur and Beaver Harris. So sorry I missed them. I didn't turn out on that occasion. Must have been round about the time of this album: They toured Europe the following year, in 1967. You can hear that group on Life At The Donaueschingen Music Festival, which opens with a great Garrison solo.

The credit on AS-10 is incorrect. The notes for the Complete VV correct this. And it was Reggie Workman himself who identified Garrison as the bass player on "Chasin' the Trane."

Just got The Call earlier this week (on vinyl). It's a great one!

I think there were about a half-dozen tracks that saw their first release on this.

Great album! Nice arrangements and it's neat to hear Miles in a trumpet/trombone/no piano context. If I were forced to pare down my Miles Davis albums to just five, this would be one of the survivors.

No Coltrane for Lovers either.

Added a couple of more Braxtons, Ellington's Such Sweet Thunder without the Schaap mishap and Mike Gibbs' Big Music.

Some friends and I were at a late-night vegetarian restaurant. One person couldn’t finish his beer (which is unbelievable for a journalist), so this fellow at the next table offered to finish it. He downed it in one go. Turns out he was saxophonist/flautist Walter Zuber Armstrong. We had a nice chat with him and I later filmed him for a school project. I was at Anthony Braxton’s Sonic Genome Project event, standing off to the side and while it wasn’t unexpected to see Braxton at his own concert, it was entirely unexpected when he came up to me and started chatting to me and my daughter. In the non-musical department, I saw George C. Scott at a posh restaurant once. His food was taking too long, so he went all Patton on the staff. And back to the original intention of this thread, seeing Tony Williams with Derek Bailey on the Arcana album was pretty unusual, in spite of the Bill Laswell connection.

Sad news. He'd been battling cancer for quite some time. Loved his classical flourishes.

Looking forward to hearing this. Allen, you always manage to get such incredibly interesting musicians on your dates. Oppens is a treasure. She's also recorded with Derek Bailey and is one of two pianists on Braxton's For Two Pianos.

My favourite was the cartoon where the Lone Ranger and Tonto are surrounded by a horde of Indian braves. The Lone Ranger says to Tonto "It likes we're finished" and Tonto replies "What do you mean we?" http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2011/08/26/comic-book-legends-revealed-329/

No blackout in this case. Holland didn't fully plug in until the following year. Chick only plays wood flute during "This."

As a young kid, I liked it when my dad played Dave Brubeck's Greatest Hits and Paul Desmond's Live and I was fascinated by the different approaches to "Take Five" on each. Soft Machine's Third was certainly a launching pad towards jazz, but Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and At Fillmore East were the albums that really got me hooked.

Looks very much like this one photo of Burton in particular, though Gary has shorter hair.
