not to derail the thread, but if i'm gonna read some of these threads it's not possible for me to see something like this and not comment. that seems like a very flatly racist comment. what the fuck? all indian people act and feel arrogantly superior to everyone else? it's part of their culture? wow... i haven't heard his music yet so i can't comment there... I read this as "his culture" = New York culture.

He could have mentioned that jazz and metal frequently include bassists and drummers and sometimes they have pretty pictures on their album covers. What a simplistic article. "Jazz and metal are both diversifying at a fantastic rate, feeding on their old modes and languages, combining them and breaking them down." Old news. Jazz has been doing just that for more than 50 years and a lot of the metal innovations date back more than 20 years. What would have been interesting is if he mentioned how some aspects of jazz and metal are approaching minimalism and modern composers.

I really like Monoceros. At the Finger Palace is in a similar vein. Wish that would get a reissue.

Happy Birthday!

Looking good! I was having problems accessing certain topics before, but that problem is now gone.

Jim Gordon, Carl Palmer, Phil Collins in the 1970s. Roger Hawkins is a good one too. Some may snicker, but Corky Laing (Mountain) was often much more interesting than some of the material he had to work with.

Spotted a boo-boo. "Spiritual" has the contrabassoon; some versions of "India" have a tambura drone. Bushell played English horn on the latter. "The most extraordinary texture in Coltrane’s music may occur in a live version of India (itself a transformed blues originally called Mr. Knight) in which Coltrane plays soprano saxophone, Eric Dolphy plays bass clarinet, and Garvin Bushell, a man who played with Jelly Roll Morton, plays contra-bassoon drone."

There's excerpts from the book in the latest Point of Depature: http://www.pointofdeparture.org/PoD26/PoD2...ks_Braxton.html

There's an excerpt of the book in this month's Point of Departure: http://www.pointofdeparture.org/PoD26/PoD2...ks_Nichols.html Looks like a good one.

Such Sweet Thunder The Duke Ellington Carnegie Hall Concerts-January 1943 Money Jungle

Slayer.

Maybe it's Aghartha/Pangaea remastered, but overdubbed with new drum tracks from Vince Wilburn. Or a book and DVD package commemorating the making of Miles Davis for Lovers. Or Quiet Nights: The Ultimate Edition. Or all 70 CDs plus a newly discovered bonus track.

That one is paired with Konitz meets Giuffre on one of those Lonehill abominations.

The Verve was a five horns plus rhythm. It was available on a 2 CD reissue featuring separate Konitz and Giuffre records and a Ralph Burns date. I think Lonehill has since seized its contents.

You must have heard the IAI record. They have crossed paths, but not a lot. There is a Konitz meets Giuffre album on Verve which is very good.

"In Time and Anthony Braxton, Stuart Broomer looks insistently at time, whether in the shape of jazz history, time’s relationship to pitch, or the unique ways in which Braxton constructs the musical moment. In approaching the dense weave of Braxton’s musical thought, Broomer references figures like Nicola Tesla, St. Augustine of Hippo, Ezra Pound, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers." http://www.themercurypress.ca/?q=authors/stuart_broomer

Looking to get another set of speakers. I'm on a budget <$250. Anyone have any recommendations?

There's some info here: http://home.att.net/~bobbeecher/trombone/trombone-p2.html "King "Flugabone". It is what you would have if you took a valve trombone and wrapped up the tubing like a flugelhorn, hence the name. Pitched in Bb and using a trombone mouthpiece, it has an 8½" bell and .500" bore...Similarly styled (and named), the "Flugelbone" made by Kanstul Music Northwest is designed for marching. It has a 9½" bell and a .509" bore." There's also a picture of Maynard Ferguson playing a Superbone on the same site.

One that comes to mind is Lee Konitz/Bill Russo -- "An Image" (Verve, 1959). Konitz with a string quartet and rhythm. It just works; thoughtful, beautifully played, inventive music, no pleading for extra credit. And Russo knew what he was doing. "An Image" is indeed a good one. Also, "Jazz Abstractions," often credited to John Lewis, but more of a Gunther Schuller date. It includes Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy for part of it.

There is another live version with Billy Harper on We Remember You on Fresh Sound.

I'll pass. Curious if Pangaea and Aghartha contain the full concerts which appeared on Japanese CDs or just the edited versions on the original releases.

There were some pretty turgid Third Stream compositions out there, but the Modern Jazz Society album is a winner. The Verve Elite had some interesting bonus tracks.

That 2 cd set was mislabelled, and is actually from the Both/And Club in San Francisco. I think Belden goes into the story behind this in the legit release's liner notes. Belden does mention that in the liner notes. I believe Bennie Maupin may have mentioned Both/And. However, there is some evidence that the Fresh Sound is as advertised (similar sounding piano, Howard Rumsey credit), but not from a night recorded for Blue Note. It's in one of threads referred to above.

Montreal 40 points

The best of the batch were on the original 2-LP release, but the rest are very good, including "The Sidewinder." I like the 2-CD Fresh Sound Lighthouse material even better.
