Threadgill has a couple dynamite large ensemble records over the last 20. Also, don't think Darcy James Argue has made the lists yet. Great stuff.

Read 25, with a few more on the shelf.

I always thought the Chameleons were really underrated.

Mongo only pawn in game of life . . .

RIP. A great artist.

Saw him only once, sitting next to Steve. Absolute legend, thank you sir and rest easy.

I imagine he'll at least be on stage conducting, no?

Terrible news. RIP.

Losing pets is so awful. Sorry for your loss.

Such a huge loss, but what a legacy.

4 sets from Threadgill, including Very Very Circus for the first time in 3 decades!

RIP, sir.

Currently wearing a Monk at the Blackhawk shirt, courtesy of (as RT sez) DJTees. Got a Mahavishnu one from Etsy too.

So envious of everyone who got to see Trane live. For me, a really formative gig was Sonny Sharrock with Pharaoh Sanders in 1993. Also Die Like a Dog at the Empty Bottle in 1999, truly roof-raising. Lacy solo, Parker/Guy/Lytton, Taylor/Oxley. Been lucky to see a ton of good shows.

Absolute legend. RIP, sir.

RIP.

Thank you, sir. RIP.

Yes! Excited as always, although hard choices will be made.

Seems like we should be getting the daily schedules soon. FOMO Fest rides again!

Bump for first time in five years!!!

I haven't read this thread super closely, so apologies if the following is redundant. But one younger musician I've really enjoyed over the last few years is James Brandon Lewis. Currently listening to one of the DL-only releases from Cafe Oto, a fierce trio with John Edwards and Mark Sanders. My man Stevie Rey would surely love this.

RIP.

RIP.

Or Frisell.

RIP.
