If that includes paint, that's a good deal.

all of the above, yes!

Ok, check this out: per the comments of "stevetintweiss": stevetintweiss 11 months ago I posted this clip on my fb timeline when it was first published in issue #5 of the Fondation Maeght newsletter. This excerpt is from the beginning of our first concert 25 July 1970. I don’t know if it is even part of the full documentary film “Albert Ayler: Le Dernier Concert” by Jean-Michel Meurice which covers mostly the second concert two nights later after Call Cobbs arrived. Never shown here, but was across venues in Europe in the seventies. It is in the Maeght archives.

I love stuff like this just on principal. But this one has more than just principle going for it, imo. Good thoughts, good delivery. Definitely, as advertised, a good addition to the Last Poets/Gil Scott Heron continuum. I look for this stuff whereever I can find it, spoken word of what I guess today would be considered "Afro-centric", but back then would have been rightly viewed as "people's poetry". Also, the fact that the guy's a barber and has stayed a barber, in his own shop, that lack of "star ambition" speaks very well to me.

OP himself was no small contribution!!!!!

Video? Isn't the You Tube clip with Mary Maria from this same concert? No? Yes? I don't know. Different clearances, yes? But...

Watching Orson on Super Password this week. Virtuoso player, just a true joy. The week before, the celebs were a rare all-male set of Bill Cullen and Tom Poston, which was like Classic Game Show Wet Dream, and sure enough, those guys could PLAY. But Orson Bean, my god...never mind To Tell The Truth and all that banter, this guy was a true Password Whisperer. Stunning. As was his celebrity opponent for this week, Joanne Worley. Burt Convy, though, what a tool. Nice guy, but...

That's an emphatic finger!

It would, but the time it would take to get them all disassembled, reassembled, and then disposed of all the leftovers - all the while taking in MORE new music - would take longer than I'm going to live, probably. I mean, what kind of a Boomer would I be if I didn't extravagate up until the minute I die and then leave an unfixable mess behind for my kids to clean up?

Little Tommie Timmipepper - A Tribute To "Toot Toot" MCGillicutty This one sets the standard.

It's a REALLY good record.

Q: Would I like for this to be a better record? A: Why, yes, in fact, yes I would. Very much!

So what's the story with this guy? Seems like he stayed local(?) but also founded(?) Catalyst Records which seemsed to have recorded mostly out of LA, but was also one of the infamous "division of Springboard Records"s. There's some true gems in that catalog, I'd hate to see them fall into the wrong hands, if they haven't already... So, what's the deal with any of this? and is this Summer Bartholomew?

This is a REALLY good record.

That looks like an 11 year old girl. Is Bill Barton lurking about?

Max didn't make the type of records with Odean that he did with Billy. Why that was, I don't know.

This one was from 2002 and did not suck.

If i went back and revisited it, it might strike me better. At the time, if seemed just a little fluffy. I was getting them one after the other, remember and the last Milestones were becoming, cumulatively, a bit redundant. so a change in and of itself was not unwelcome. But that one, again, to me at that time, seemed a little too far "pulled back". But hey, you NEED to hear Looking Out, if for no other reason than to see that having heroes on an unconditional basis is a sucker;s game. It's something that every mature adult understands, but doesn't always get hit in the face with. This one will hit you in the face and sting forever. Then again, you'll be coming to it from a retro viewpoint, so it might just be one of those, "eh, that sucked, NEXT" things..

Talking about "minimum" number of listens...almost always at least twice for me, but if it's the car and it hits that zone, i'll leave it in for weeks. Or if I'm working here at the table and it comes out of the old discman and the cheapass Phillips portaspeakers, I can just leave it in there all day, and sometimes the next. Occasionally longer. As far as back log, I got buttlaods (plural) of unlistented to material, and that's ok. That's not a failure until I die, and who knows when that's coming, right? But storage...I live in fear of wanting to hear aome things and not having it, but I'm starting to feel the fear of having too much stuff taking up space that I have hear, and heard well, and never listening to again, because...why? And that's creating space issues, not immediately, but I see it coming sooner rather than later.

So Jon Faddis is on this set? Not a deal-breaker, but...

Neither really excelled, imo. But the second one, Looking Out, was an abomination. It wasn't that "those kind of records" weren't being made elsewhere (or that I minded them), it's just....McCoy Tyner making THAT kind of record was like a punch to the gut. otoh, he produced it himself (or so it says), so maybe he wanted to try it to see how it went. I guess you can't fault a man for trying? Fortunately, though, whatever it was, it was a one-off. and it was also MyCoy's final record for Columbia. No more Norman Connors-esque records out of McCoy Tyner. I was like, "looking out"? HE'S TRYING TO WARN US!!!!
