Spaciness? Not to me. Willful naivete, Love Child Hippiness, yes. Sometimes sickeningly so. But that was a long time ago. I think he shed that somewhere in the 80s. He does not have an unlimited supply of ideas, but with that tone, you don't really have to. He's nurtured that tone and it's only gotten warmer, wispier, and more vehicular. And - he is consistently one of the best-dressed people on the planet

The Chico Hamilton records with the Lloyd/Gabor Szabo "front line" couple with Lloyd's first Columbia records very nicely, imo.

Fuck RCA!

Jaws and Jerome Richardson. Cookbook. Yes, Shirley Scott.

I think the movie is better than the record. YMMV.

96 is old!!!!!!

What happened to the dog?

I had always like Lloyd well enough, but he was definitely not a priority for me. But then I ran into a crowd for whom Lloyd was magic. Serious players, not "hippie" fans. The biggest hook for them was his tone, and the only Atlantics that were kind of sloughed of were the two Fillmore records. And sometimes his flute playing is just a little too...intentionally "precious" for my taste. I've never heard anybody passionately advocate for his flute work, even today. So I went back, re-listened, and yeah, ok, I got it, the deal with the tone.. And those ECM records showed a real development and deepening of what was already a very distinctive sound across the entire range f the instrument. So...I get the earlier dissing, but don't agree with it. And the ECMs were really, REALLY good. No matter what had (or hadn't been) going on up until that point, those records showed a full blossoming, imo. The pre-Atlantic records on Columbia (and the live performances that were released a while back) hold up really well, imo. Definitely. On Atlantic, only Dream Weaver stands alone imo, no context needed. Forest Flower wasthe big hit, but...it's not necessarily a great record, especially as an LP, where you got one side that's now "legendary" and anther one that...does anybody ever play THAT side?

Lloyd had a lot of detractors during his Atlantic days. Claims of "Coltrane Lite" and such were definitely in the air. And the aforementioned decline in his playing ca. 1965 certainly didn't help.

It seems like there might be an element of parody in there, like of the whole Norman Connors thing. Maybe, But the best parody is that in which you can never quite be sure, and this is definitely that. SO theatrical! I think there's a video somewhere of this in performance, this and "Honky Tonk Bud". I think... No matter, Ed Wilkerson puts things together like few others. He should be a household name!

#13 - Shadow Vignettes, Quiet Resolution, Light Henry Huff, one of the all time great...THINGS of our lifetime. God bless Edward Wilkerson.

Happy to shine some light!

I got the Olly Wilson and William Fischer sets as well as the Melle. All three were extremely satisfying. The Creel Pone label specializes in historical electronic music and stuff that lives in that neighborhood. Packaging is thorough, but dictated by budget, if you know what I mean. If I was totally new to electronic music of this vintage, this would be a GREAT place to start. Much better than collecting it piecemeal from old LPs and obscure labels and such. I need to see if they have anything for Ilhan Mimaroglu. I've got a few things on various lables, and he is another interesting guy.

hmmm...really?
