Speak Easy. It's a weird looking record, almost looks like a Toto record, but this record is incredible!
Signed it too, glad to have it. And his work with Shipp and Parker are keepsakes.

Speaking of Jackie Mac, if you haven't seen the 1979 mini-bio called "Jackie McLean On Mars", it's worth a look. Pretty interesting.
Yup. And some great vintage footage too,

same.
Agree. Same here. I love Miles Smiles more than Kind of Blue; Ole Coltrane more than a Love Supreme. No Ayler, M. Brown, Shepp, Roach on that list lends credence to subjectivity. I like a lot of things too, hardly anything that will make any list: Just enjoy what hits the ears, lists won't matter afterwards.

Not an LP, but the cd reissue of Ornette's Crisis/a 12. I was at an Exchange location n was gonna buy it, but the cd was gone and in its place was this packet of fake nipples. I took it to the front desk and they laughed n I got to keep the empty case/inserts and the packet of fake nipples for free; my 20 yr old daughter who was with me at the time asked for the nips. Awkwardly, I gave them to her...weirdest experience ever!

Yes, that is one of my favorite of Lee Morgan's records - "Lee is Free," indeed. It does show a vibe that would become more solid with records on Strata-East, Tribe and the like in a few years, but it's a little ragtag here and more exploratory. "Capra Black" is a motherfucker of a tune, to say the least.
Yup, would've made good sense for Lee to transition to these labels. They cater to artists that have the insight to transition, but on the artist's terms, at least from an outsider's point of view.

Blue Mitchell on trumpet?

That Thigpen disc is BRILLIANT! The shorter songs don't matter, the arrangements are amazing and Clark Terry really leaps out. A fantastic album, I just wish they had done a couple more with that same lineup.
Maybe some of the best and wildest playing I've ever heard from Burrell.

Yeah, for me too. I don't play this one much either, but when I do, I forget how hypnotic it is. Paul and Willie Bobo especially make this record a total sonic trip for me.

Refresh my refreshment, please - there was an India Navigation CD reissue program at one point, was there not? By no means complete, but I know I've got a few things on CD, on that label.
There was a cd reissue program of some sort and I do have David Murray's Flowers for Albert on a 2cd set, but then later on I stupidly passed up the Pharoah disk a dozen years ago at an Exchange store in Pittsburgh because I thought it was too pricey for the condition it was in. Never saw it again.

This is a big one. I'm still just trying to understand the Candids, BN's and I have the FMP's ready, I'm just not ready for them and beyond. He takes decades for me to comprehend what he's doing. A remarkable career. RIP.

Interesting interview, thanks for posting. I don't know why, but Skies of America is one of the last Ornette albums I go to, gotta go back n listen to it again.

Sounds right, it was a female and she was playing some weird form of a synthesizer or something. It was just him and her.

I hear ya, but I think there is a big difference between a session being "unreleased" and it being "rejected". And I have heard drummers absolutely ruin sessions. If you go into the Blue Note Discography, you will see many sessions that were "rejected", then redone a few days/weeks later with the same personnel except a different drummer.
Fair enough, and I did read somewhere that Jackie said Norman Connors didn't work out, and probably should remain in the can for that reason, especially if he said so himself. Still can't get past the idea though of still wanting to hear it, warts and all.

Completely agree!
The 2006 Amherst concert is available on CD on the Bro label (run by Eremite). Some of his best music is available on that label. Bought a ticket to see Peter Brotzmann in Melbourne 5 minutes ago for about USD 15. Can't believe it, every local pub band charges more.
Yeah, I couldn't believe it either when a club here in Cleveland last year was only asking for $20. Albeit, it was a strange line up, I kinda was hoping for a "Die Like a Dog" line up, but regardless, it Brotz! Now that's a steal not a deal!

Upset, but he beat the odds. Good for him.

I wanna hear anything Tyrone is on, and Woody too (in that kind of context), for that matter. Woody on that one insane Andrew Hill date from 31-Oct-1967 (the beginning of disc #3 of the Hill BN select), is about as heavy as it gets.
I traded emails with Michael C. years ago, and he claimed the tapes were "lost" of that McLean date (w/ Tyrone) -- but I've read elsewhere that the session was a mess (but I've never heard any firsthand reports of that, other than what various people have said Michael C. has said about it over the years).
Whether the tapes really are lost, or not - I have no idea.
Yeah I still drool over this session.

Cherry got 3!
Pat Metheny called this "the shot heard around the world", and, uh...i think sound might have moved a little slower in those days, to get ALL the wat around the world, RCA being a little lax about keeping this easily available for a decade or 2-3, but yeah, once heard, never forgotten, Paul Bley here. There. And, of course, everywhere.
Fair, but Where is Brooklyn was released a lot later.
26 minutes ago, danasgoodstuff said:If Bley had been on Blue Note, he could've made records with Sam Rivers and John Gilmore and Charles Tolliver and Woody Shaw. Or Jackie McLean and Tony Williams.
Shame they didn't get Cecil and Cherry to boogaloo, seriously!
Weird you bring these dudes up, can't really picture him in anything more than a trio setting. Like Barrage was weird, even uncomfortable, but I dug it, don't know if he did.
-
Yeah ten years later, but what an incredible drummer Han Bennick is: worth rehearsing how exciting he is still! Hope this allowed:
And this from Amherst:
Kinda like Mingus/Richmond, Brotz/Bennink are another magical combo.

Blue Note would never have found him salable. He didn't do one thing for long enough, except be Paul Bley.
Yeah, maybe two records; Don Cherry, Cecil didn't ,make entire sense there either.

Atlantic was big in fusion, and they had that distribution deal with Nemperor. Together, they had Cobham, Jan Hammer, Focus, EL&P, Herbie Mann, the list goes on... Check out this list of sessions from 1977 alone: https://www.jazzdisco.org/atlantic-records/discography-1977/session-index/
Yup. They really played the 70's well and made a lot of money; I can't believe I forgot Genesis and Yes!

This dude, Parker, Drake made sense. In a Iron Maiden way, this band was mind-boggling. Heavy metal jazz, and we are afforded this incredible footage of an incredible artist: new to me!
