B. Clugston

Not a well-documented player away from the AEoC. The only leader date I have of his is Together Alone, the duos with Braxton, which I recommend.

Talk about a lightning rod.

No wonder people are buying fewer CDs.

I'd go see them even if John Tesh was the pianist.

Jazz Impressions Of Japan !

From Jazz Loft: "We just received notice from the distributor that Sony has again delayed the release of Miles Davis "Complete On The Corner Sessions" boxed set until the first week in October. In typical Sony fashion, they are keeping the September 28th street date so that the set qualifies for this years Grammy Awards. Please be aware that the actual release date is now October 5th. We will, of course, honor all orders at the pre-sale prices. Your cards have been charged and we will fill all orders as soon as Sony actually releases the set."

Because so much of his work is OOP, Osborne is a great blindfold test stumper. Amongst the in-print stuff, great place to hear him is on the live Harry Miller Isipingo disc.

I really like Hatto’s organ trio albums. She did some mean versions of “Wealthy Street,” “Greaze Monkey” and “Brother Ray.”

A great player whose standing isn't what it should be, partly due to his long illness. RIP. Got to listen to his excellent duets with Stan Tracey as a memorial.

Glue leeched all over Disc 1 of my "Complete" Bitches Brew as well. But I prefer listening to Bitches Brew on vinyl.

"Wiggle Waggle" -- what a great opener. I've always really enjoyed this album.

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.
