I got a note from Jazz Loft saying it's expected to ship Sept. 25.

Get Black Fire. From your list, I'd go for Compulsion first, followed by Smoke Stack, particular if you appreciate Point of Departure's "out"-ness. Compulsion is quite adventurous in terms of the horn solos and percussion.

Can't wait for the 4-LP 78s.

Disc 2 of the Jimmy Giuffre Capitol and Atlantic, "My Funny Valentine," to be exact.

1/5th. Tony Thompson also drummed with Zep at Live Aid.

There's an explanation in the summer edition about Dan Warburton scaling back. http://www.paristransatlantic.com/magazine...07jul_text.html

And those who don't die young grow old and sell their new albums exclusively at Wal-Mart.

I’d be interested in seeing a statement from Chewy, who, on the one hand, is a big Bennie Maupin fan, but, on the other, once told us: “JUST REMEMBER every time u listen to an ECM record, Big John Patton cries.”

I love this album. "Afrodisia" is a cracking opener and the five tracks with Valdes are great. But the second half of the album has some greata things too, particularly "K.D.'s Motion." One of my favourite Dorham albums and an excellent showcase of his writing skills.

Sankey will be the third string quarterback when the Lions take on the Als. Jarious Jackson gets the start and that other guy is No. 2.

Great article. Thnks for posting. I was just listening to Baker on Russell's Not at the Five Spot last night.

Most sources I've read say Dolphy died of a heart attack related to diabetes. I read somewhere that Dolphy's parents gave Eric's bass clarinet to Coltrane. Can't remember the source, but will post once I do.

The Dorham is great, but the current CD version sounds fine to me. I'm looking forward to snapping up the Baby Face Willette.

It puts a smile on my face, but I don't reach for it much. I like it, but it's not the type of album that's going to offer anything new after repeated listenings.

Don't like the misleading title. There's just as much music from Get Up With It. This may confuse reviewers.

The commentary by John Carpenter and Kurt Russell on Big Trouble in Little China is funnier than the movie itself. Sounds like they downed a few. They are also highly entertaining and informative on The Thing. The Phantasm commentary by actors and director is also very good.

I think that's the inside pic inside the Dortmund 1976 CD on Hat Art. That's a contrabass sax. Braxton's contrabass clarinet is shaped llike a paper clip and can be easily held.

Speaking of lyrics, when Jon Anderson sang "Fear destroys" on "Gates of Delirium," I thought he was singing "Beer destroys." Alas, it turns out it was not a shot at Wakeman...

Amazon.ca has become useless. Hardly anything is in stock and prices are a ripoff.

Yessongs was (and remains) a huge favourite of mine. Wish it would get a decent reissue. Since the mid-1970s, the band's massive egos and out for a buck mentality have been a big turnoff.

I was just reading about him a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like it was an intriguing band.

Not my favourite decade. "This Corrosion" by The Sisters of Mercy, or maybe "Dominion/Mother Russia." "Siege of Power" by Napalm Death "Comp. 105 A" by Anthony Braxton

Cut out sugar and cut back on bread. Don't eat white bread. Drink lots of water. Cut out pop. Fish is good, but if you don't like it, try and have more protein than carbs. Have brown rice instead of white rice. Eating white bread and white rice is liking eating a bowl of sugar.

Thanks for posting. That was a fun listen.
