7/4

Yeah I think Karyobin is o/p. Which sucks. It's a very approachable album & would be a good introduction to the SME or to Bailey & Parker. ← I think so too. I gave it a spin last night and it worked for me. I dig it. I got my copy when Evan was in NYC in 93 or 94. I heard him with Braxton at the Greenwich School of Music and they had copies on sale.

once this image "clicked" it was difficult to go back to seeing it the original way. ← I hope you're not joking. I keep looking at this and nothing happens. I take off my reading glasses and it just looks blurry. The Sun rises and sets a few times and still nothing. I have to do laundry....

Is this in print? What does it sound like? Guy ← I don't think it's in print. What does it sound like? I'll give it a spin later.

Nothing here.

I need to be in the mood for it too. It isn't background music. His music demands close listening. Some other Evan Parker disks I have but really need to listen to: The Music Improvisation Company (ECM) The Music Improvisation Company 1968-1971 The Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Karyōbin Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Quintessence Derek Bailey & Evan Parker - Arch Duo Anthony Braxton, Evan Parker & Paul Rutherford - Trio (London) 1993 Anthony Braxton, Evan Parker - Duo (London) 1993 ...and I'll set this pile aside and dig into it this weekend.

← It's extreme. I like it.

That's part of the fun!

Happy Birthday and many more BeBoppin' years!

I'm not a big fan of W&W packaging.

Nothing wrong with starting a new thread.

Interview from the Wire.

The two I have are Chicago Solo and Conic Sections. Both are solo saxophone discs that I'm rediscovering after they went missing my apt. for a few years. I'll have to pick up more next time I'm in NYC.

Hm... I need that. So many have recomended Monoceros.

...and where would one find something like this??? ← Africa?

It's an investment!

All that teleportation couldn't have been too healthy.

Yeah, I've never even heard of this album.

Don't think so!

Maybe, but you need one of these too.

Cream Mulling New York Run? July 18, 2005 By Ray Waddell, Billboard.com SOURCE: Billboard.com On the heels of its early May reunion run at London's Royal Albert Hall, legendary power trio Cream may be crossing the Atlantic for another round of shows this fall. Sources say dates are being "unofficially" held for three concerts at Madison Square Garden in October. Guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce regrouped for the first time since their 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a May 2-6 stand at London's Royal Albert Hall. The shows grossed more than $3.6 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. "Live, Cream was a great, hardworking band -- Eric was supreme and Ginger the most musical drummer alive -- and those original live albums were very good, probably the best records of their kind up to that point," Bruce told Billboard in 1997, prior to the release of the boxed set "Those Were the Days." Neither Madison Square Garden nor Clapton's agent would confirm that the dates were being held. As previously reported, Clapton's next studio album, "Back Home," is due Aug. 30 via Reprise/Duck. The set features guest appearances from John Mayer, Steve Winwood, Robert Randolph and Simon Climie.

In August?

I haven't heard this in a while and this thread inspired me to give it a spin. I'm glad I did.

You must be talking about players in NY. How provincial. ←

Them's fighting words. Who cares if he Jewish? I don't. Steve Gadd is lifeless.

This Summer has been very dull and work oriented. I should have more time to get out after Aug. 1st, I hope. This is the first year in memory, not only don't I have much of a tan, but none!
