I know you are no dabbler in this stuff, and have ordered a copy on the basis of this post.

was BK under contract to Contemporary at the time?

Dotson/Hillyer/Jimmy Owens, whose glasses and rotary valve flugel horn each have unmistakable visages! Had Cecil yet recorded playing the inside of the piano? That's a very...precise performance. The man remains a word unto himself, even after a lifetime of showing that it could be done - and how to do it - the best that has happened is that it's sorta still getting there.

Lyons/Grimes/Murray. Unmistakable visages all!

Did Martin Williams get paid extra for being THAT uptight? Or Ralph Ellison for being so withering? Apart from that, two words - Hobart Dotson.

It was out of Denver, fwiw.

Dick Ten-Toes - All I Need

The Shameless Reactionaries - Not A Speck Of Serial

Mandy Scourn - Under The Spit Umbrella

Lots of people in Philly, at this club. This is a document of that. Pretty cool.

Is this Tony's punk album? It isn't, right?

Whoever all would be getting paid aren't. And if nobody needed to get paid, Fantasy was just wasting non-money by not putting it out. Besides - what are the source materials for this? I would eager half of yesterday's coffee and two cups of tomorrow that they're either needle drops or lifts of other company's work. So don't limit the "who would be getting paid?" question to the original cast of characters, that is a false flag And really, where did that cover picture come from. Tacky!

And he's not hindered by having to pay people!

Wasn't he on a sitcom in the later-60s/early 70s? Or ws that somebody else?

I've never ever heard this one: and what about the 2nd by this band: Never made it to OJC LP or CD, correct? But I think that Jorgie Hoglowls has put them out in some issue. So, there are still gaps.

"most people" have been conditioned to have very limited spectrums of their senses. whether or not this conditioning builds on natural instincts or is in fact a brainwashing of sorts to keep people "in line"....I don't know for certain. Maybe both? Any way...my "project" the last few years is to figure out what it is about stuff that most people like that I can't stand. And almost inevitable, it comes down to, do I feel an expression, or are people just playing notes to make a familiar sound. I've learned a lot doing this, including that even people who are just making "product" with no real sincerity other than to get that product out can and sometimes do have a real skill set for doing exactly that. Call it "quality bullshit". Listening to contemporary country is prime fodder for this. I can spot the various "triggers" in the music and scourn them while at the same time digging the way the record sounds, all the production decisions and such. and then...shut that crap off. As for jazz....like i said most people have a pretty small range of comprehension about things like harmony and rhythm. Even tone, I man if you can't tell, say, Grover Washington on soprano from Kenny G....how can that be except you just either don't have or haven't developed some pretty basic discernment skill. And how I listen to jazz now combines a lot of things, but I start with rhythm and tone/sound. That's where I start from. After that, I'm happy/"happy" to be able to get into the technicalities once that test is passed. But sometimes, fuck it, just let me enjoy it first.

That one, yeah. also, I don't think that this one made even OJC LP, much less CD: nor this one: nor this either:

...to leave you to sing!

Thank god!

A worrisome thing...

Ok, I'm going by the 2011 Amy C. Beal book, which says: ...the 1997 summer performance of Escalator over the Hill marked the first occasion that this monumental work had been performed live in the nearly thirty years since it's inception...premiered for four nights in Cologne, it then travelled to Munich and to other festivals in Austria, Italy, and France, where it was videotaped for French television ..it has still never been performed live in the United States... Maybe that 2006 performance wasn't deemed worthy of inclusion...and maybe there's been even more performances?

Are you sure about that live performance thing, like in concert? I only know of one (and no in America), but I might have old info. I do know that some guy filmed so of the rehearsals and that's been out there, at least some of it. Anyway, details welcome!

aka "refractory period". trying to make this medical instead of TMI/gross.
