If my memory serves, Chuck was working out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, a very progressive college town where this type of music had a strong following.
Wish I could have been there then...
[emphasis added] As is Ithaca, NY, which was mentioned above.
Too bad Stereo Jack rarely visits (I hope he's doing well)...he might be able to comment on Bahston, one of the ultimate progressive college towns*.
*Despite what Spinal Tap said. 😉

Perusing this on bandcamp. Having recently acquired the excellent Alan Skidmore box, it definitely appeals.
A sensational, previously unheard session by legendary British free jazz saxophonist Mike Osborne, recorded in December 1970 at London's famous 100 Club. From Osborne's personal tape collection. Features two compositions currently thought to be unrecorded in any other setting.
Lineup:
Mike Osborne - alto sax
Alan Skidmore - tenor sax
Harry Miller - double bass
Louis Moholo - drums
This arrived at "The Bastards" (Dusty) today, so I ordered. Much cheaper US shipping that way. Looking forward to it!

I was looking the other way because I never cared about his magazine. 😉

Far more relevant imo is Jann Wenner getting busted for finally saying the quiet part out loud and confirming decades of suspicion.
Damn. One consequence of not paying attention to popular culture is that I don't hear about shit like that. Interesting, I appreciate the info, but not gonna discuss it here.

And he had a sense of humor! Which seems surprisingly rare in the music sphere.

How did Muse material end up with BMG? A Cuscuna thing?
Strange coincidence...I just purchased (rec'd Saturday) from felser a twofer of 2 of those 3 albums (Fast Last! and Rope-a-Dope) on a 32Jazz reissue (American Gumbo). Even more weirdly, the 2-album American Gumbo and 3-album Mirage compilations were both released in 1999. I don't get it.

We need some madscientist DJ to create this record from samples.
And throw in a synthetic rant or two! 😄

Have we entered out of music and into religion/politics here?
Sorry, John. No intent.
I posted the Chinmoy stuff because I had a funny recollection, deleted the post.
I don't care to comment on the rants, don't know any details.

I just tried to Google “Santana Trans” — got that far typing, and it suggested these as the top search matches…
Check out Santana Transmissions!

etc…
If you Google the character string carlos santana rant, just those alpha characters with no punctuation surrounding them, you'll get more than you could imagine on the recent trans thing.
If you enclose them in quotation marks, "carlos santana rant", Google will return additional references to a variety of prior rants.
Disclosure: I didn't bother to visit any of the links returned.

What's he on about these days? Anything new?
Google reveals a recent brouhaha concerning an "anti-trans rant".
I'm completely out of touch with popular culture, so have no idea what any previous rants might have addressed. In any case I've never looked to popular figures' onstage remarks for philosophical, moral, ethical, ... guidance. 🙄

Was Mayo a good enough player that others weren't able to ketchup to him on the field?
I knew Mayo Smith only as long-time manager of the Tigers, including '68 World Series title. Had no idea he managed other teams.
Looks like Mayo's big league playing career consisted of only 1 season, so he must have been playing ketchup for the most part.

The main period that interested me is the four-album run from Another Side (1964) through Blonde on Blonde (1966). He wrote a few amazing songs later, including "Tangled Up in Blue" and "You're a Big Girl Now." That said, I haven't really listened to Dylan in decades.
[Emphasis added] Me neither. I agree with the above sentiment that John Wesley Harding was the peak, and Blood on the Tracks is my personal line in the sand. But as a youth I was so heavily into those early albums that it became impossible for later releases to have the same magic or live up to my expectations. So while there have been many good and worthwhile Dylan albums over the years, my attention drifted elsewhere. Hear plenty of his music on the radio, but don't play recordings at home.

Yeah, my curiosity has been satisfied. But I would not reject another opportunity.
This mayo thing intrigued me though....
Mayo on frites is a big Euro thing, I think especially in Netherlands/Belgium. I like it! Also vinegar.
-
The one time I had poutine, it was definitely genuine. Way up the St. Lawrence in Quebec, somewhat Northeast of Tadoussac.
If the ketchup was served as a side, I wouldn't doubt legitimacy. That way leaves the ketchup decision up to you.
My experience (somewhat faded by the fact that I was slightly loaded on super-strong Trappist style beer )was that poutine is really heavy, and I had difficulty finishing the (large) plate. Vinegar and/or (possibly) ketchup would have made it go down easier, actually. I think I went for some mayo, which I enjoy on frites, but I just didn't love the cheese curds.
I subsequently visited Montreal a bunch of times but never again ordered poutine.

Thanks.

I'm tempted by many, particularly pianists and Euro/Dutch musicians. Might even take a flyer on some of the funk-type releases. But it's gonna take some parsing and research.
11 minutes ago, Rooster_Ties said:And note, there’s two batches too — bunch on Sept 13th — and several more on Sept 27th.
I’m gonna be tempted by a number of them, even not having parsed through the details of them yet.
Where do you see the Sep 27 batch? I only find dates up to the 20th.

"The Bastards" are showing a bunch of upcoming (soon) 3-CD Ultra-Vybe 1800 yen reissues from various labels incl. Mainstream, Enja, Timeless and others. Pretty diverse, interesting and off-the-beaten-track selection.
CDJapan also has 'em, which could be a cheaper route in sufficient quantity.

... wonder if he's found the Byard Lancaster on Dogtown by this point???
Live at Macalester College? TM must have found that by now, unless he insisted on the pre-release hand-made cover. For non-vinylites willing to wait 13 years or so, the Porter CD released 2008(!) eventually became easy to find; even I own a copy.
