Yes I agree. I was disappointed to hear that. I do wish they actually said how much they had to pay Steeplechase. He may have just seen it as a chance to “stick it to the big label” and wasn’t anything against Dexter. Those Steeplechase contracts sounded like a horrible one for the artist though.

I finished it this morning. More insightful as you go... a little I suppose. There is a lot of “I believe” or “in my opinion” which I personally don’t consider insight. And per this book Dexter loved every drummer he played with. Haha. It was a good read, the last couple chapters the best which makes sense since Maxine was present. Worth picking up, but will pass on instead of keeping for a reread.

Jackie Mac!

Sonny!

Frank Loesser was also a time traveler since he was singing about Rohypnol way before it existed...

I'm a little more than 100 pages in. The timeline jumps around and there is an ample amount of repeating in all chapters thus far. Still a worthy read. Maxine interjects personal proclamations that I could live without but it is a fascinating read regardless. Crazy how much of the scene Dexter lived in overlapped with the scene Horace Tapscott fostered in. Connected by a band director in high school.

Charles McPherson - The Prophet picked this up yesterday at a favorite shop I don't visit nearly enough

Andrew White - Fat Backin' Vol. 5

Blue Yule via my boss at work

KJazz 88.1 in Los Angeles

As a fan of Osby’s music, and a passive follower of Lovano, I’ve always had the same feeling when spinning it.

Thanks for the heads up! I actually only got The Happening because there was a copy on amazon for $1.72. I did end up ordering Intuition and The Joy of Being as well.

I owned one album from Francois Carrier and love it (Compassion - Naxos 2000) which I listened to again last night and decided to explore more of his output. I purchased Happening - Leo Records 2006 All'alba - Justin Time Records 2003 Katmandu - FMR 2007 All Out - FMR 2011 The Russia Concerts Vol 1. - FMR 2014

an album I picked up on a whim and is an absolute favorite

ran an odd gambit today but really enjoying the Dodo that came in today

Was his last released solo concert Rio?

I’m pretty sure I have some or all of this on other releases but really looking forward to the booklet. Dodo really has a lot of compilations out for various labels and most are bare of information aside from maybe who he’s playing with.

One of my all-time favorites

I bought the Dave Douglas 50th B-Day for a great bargain on amazon to go with the Brazen Heart live set on Black Friday.

I have an extra copy of John carter - Shadows on the Wall on cd if anyone is interested. Ship free to a member in the US. Found it in a $1 bin and couldn’t let it sit there Spoken for! Thanks!

Dream Machine is a fusion-esque album, very good, mostly electric band. Attached is a standard solo piano album and EXCELLENT Don't have Aurora but I'll definitely get it. Its Poo solo on synthesizer

I typically prefer Dave's live recordings over the studio releases, and at the price point they had this, it was a no brainer. And its really good!

My Black Friday purchase.

received my copy today. May dig into tomorrow

The packaging is nice as well. Clam shell box, each disc with a pic of a member of the band.
