I know that both of Palmieri's early 70s masterworks (The Sun Of Latin Music & Unfinished Masterpiece) were originally relased on a non-Fania label (Coco, was it?), but I'm pretty sure that both are out on CD now, and both should be readily available thru descarga.com. Earlier & later Palmieri both contain treasures galore, but those two hit the zone, if you know what I mean.

That Iapetus album, and by extension the man who made it, meant a lot to me at one point in my life....showed me how following the trail but not strictly staying on it could lead to some pretty delightful places.

About six weeks ago..

Really? How?

Anybody taking the Rangers even half-seriously?

The best psychedelic post-Lost Quinted album you never heard.

And all those years, I thought that rings was on a Selmer...

It's a damn good set, and I don't know how well it's been gotten to by the members of this board. But damn good it is, and damn good will be the Threadgill!!

A blogger's Dream!

Interesting on-air commentary by Alan Grant too...

Should I get post 1 Mil. it's dedicated to Hadley Calliman, who appears to have passed away today...

So. we still have no digital released that mimics the original LP mix even semi-faithfully?

Aw hell... RIP and damn, you did good.

It is fine indeed.

I hope to have the money for the Treadgill. Nothing would make me happier than to get it early in the run. I was like that with the Eldridge too. Still not much talk about that one, which is too bad. The Eldridge set KILLS!

I wonder if they mean http://www.discogs.com/Herbie-Hancock-The-Spook-Who-Sat-By-The-Door/release/635602

How is Henry these days?

For my mind, this is the ultimate version of that tune, and maybe the ultimate statement of Palmieri removing any doubt that might have remained that he was now his own man, free to be who and do whatever he damn well pleased. I still remember hearing Side One of this album for the first time (in either 75 or 76, and this was the last cut on that side) and feeling like I had no choice but to sit dawn, shut up, stay down, and just absorb this unbounded mass of LIFE that wasn't going anywhere except onward and upward stronger and faster, surer and truer than anything I had even thought about, real or imagined. And I'm told that Lalo Rodriguez was just a kid the, not even 20, and singing like that. It's enough to fuck up our head and make you a fan, both for life. And use the REAL Cover!

I appreciate high quality source material from which to rip. Good source = better quality rip, since I tend to rip to the highest, not most convenient, file size. Besides, I ain't gonna be stuck in a damn office forever. I'm just saying that right now, I pretty much have to do the MP3 thing if I want to get any listening done.

That's Tyrone on the left. Can't say that I think it's your guy.

Let's play Fantasy Still Owns The Catalog - exactly what would be included in a complete Booker Ervin on Prestige/New Jazz/etc box, including sideman appearances?
