T.D.

I prefer upping an existing thread to starting a new one. Why ignore available information? Of course, some of that could be insecurity / fear of starting a dud that gets 0 responses. 🤣

The band's website implies that he is. And the guy seated in Rod's video clip looks like him. (Thanks, Rod, looks like a pretty good show!) But I'm not certain.

The "Dirty Dozen Brass Band" is playing nearby tomorrow, but at an expensive venue. Formed in 1977, the original concept ("The Dirty Dozen incorporated funk and bebop into the traditional New Orleans jazz style") seems interesting but could be hit or miss. I can't find any recent clips or reviews (for instance on Bandcamp). Does anybody know about this ensemble?

When I see the name Baden Powell, I can't help thinking about the Boy Scouts...[a Brit with surname Baden-Powell founded Scouting].

DMG shows the box on their website as "SPECIAL", so it doesn't appear to be in stock yet. $250 if signed by John Zorn, $175 otherwise.

I like the uncropped version, too:

Scheduling bonus! Lace Mill show probably will run from 4 to 5:15-5:30 or so. Then from 6-7:30, the Creative Improvisers Orchestra 2-3 short blocks away.

Yes! One of the earliest (1966) recordings Mal made after his 1960s hiatus.

The other one is an obscure album of '70s Yugo jazz-funk. I enjoy it, but have bad taste so YMMV. It's on bandcamp and also had a CD reissue. I bought a CD from The Bastards because it was very cheap.

😁

Medley from (the former) Jugoslavija:

I enjoy the Alan Silva "Treasure Box" set (though I just have regular CDs)...Celestrial Communication Orchestra HR57 I-IV Though it might be in the "interesting rather than great" category. Recorded 2001, released 2003, just squeaks in time-wise.

Agreed. I was at the July 28 Lace Mill concert (NuMBQ) and Michael announced 8/24 as a trio KK, MB and TT.

My best guess is that a motor vehicle jumped the curb and took out the 2 pillars supporting the awning. But only a guess.

Thanks. I stand corrected. Will have to look into ownership of the Bonandrini material.

I've amassed a decent amount and it's always delivered. I thought of posting Guy, but don't consider myself enough of a "big band expert" to pontificate. I'll also second the ICP and Moondoc recs above. Probably some William Parker releases qualify, but he makes so many records that I can't keep them straight in my head. 😮

True. But they're all pretty good. Andrew Hill didn't make bad records. 🙂 That box set series had some flaws (illegible art reproductions, no bonus tracks, various choices of material were head-scratching [under name of different leader] or redundant), but I still purchased a lot of them! I think the parent label (Cam Jazz) is no longer in business, and have no idea what will happen to the catalogue.

Excellent mini (3 cd) box set from NoBusiness.

(another Togashi album)

Revisiting this. Good set.

+1 I'm apparently one of several here who recently picked this up. Thanks to Clifford for the rec.

Definitely Barry, very likely Butch Warren, not sure of guitarist. Per Google, some guitar sites say Billy Bean.

Per discogs, there seem to be quite a few copies (mostly LP) in the UK, but rare (in any medium) Stateside. Looks like an "audiophile" vinyl special at this point. Will wait and see if anything else surfaces.
