Both of Jarman's BS sides remain favorites, as do all of Julius Hemphill's. Not a dud (or even semi-dud) in the bunch.

I bet Randy dug Keith Moon once upon a time.

Will the band be covering any Van Morrison tunes? I've been a fan of his ever since he was with The Them.

I can speak for the Lowe: somewhat less explosive than his more "famous" sessions (e.g., "Black Beings"), but enjoyable in its own way. Again, don't expect a wail fest; this one is more in line with his later work on CIMP. The band--which is all star--doesn't stray far from freebopish melody/groove excursions. In fact, a number of the cuts are relatively "inside"--but hardly boring. Lowe, Cherry, Moncur (etc.) had a taste for the subtler side of the New Thing, and this album shows it. I'd say middle-of-the-road, but that statement doesn't seem to do the album justice. "Low key", perhaps? ← I love that Lowe side! "Melodic" and/or "singing" is how I've always thought of it, somewhat akin to Cherry's Art Deco in aftertaste. If you like one, you should like the other, unless you're coming at the Cherry side from the more conservative side, in which case you might still like the Lowe. The odds might be just a little less, though. The Dewey side is another darn good'un. Dewey & Geri go together every bit as nicely as do Ornette & Geri.

(No offense to Chuck but) while his cover may be lacking in comparison I think the music is just a wee bit better than that Montrose album. ← Well, yeah, but "Jump On It" is the message here!

Bye bye, blackbird.

Yeah, some very interesting lineups there. I'm wondering how much, if any "Swing-To-Bop" music can be heard in these cuts...

Sounds like a good recommendation from a poster I'm coming to have a lot of respect for. I've never heard of this album or of him. Is it still available? Details. please!

Those 45 comps are a seemingly bottomless pit. Some hold real treasures, some real trash, and some both. I'd not dismiss any of them out of hand, although it depends on what you're looking for as to what you're likely to find. Sometimes it can be something as small as a really wacked-out drummer (or guitarist, or whatever) on an otherwise totally mundane cut. For some people, that's worth the cost of admission by itself. I've got less disposable income than them, but hey...

Best farm team the Yankees ever had.

I know it's kinda weasley to do it this way, but it was kind weasley to miss the original thread stoo. What can I say other than HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
