John, I kind of regret having overposted sleuthings to the thread. And this particular ID was Jim's work (kudos to him). But since you asked 😉, spoiler here.

👍🤣 Had to consult Google Lens, was all "WTF!?", but then it sunk in.

Yes, the label is Improvising Artists. Mentioned above in thread that I ordered the autobiography Stopping Time through interlibrary loan, and the copy I got (only one available) came from the Cherry Valley Library. Found that surprising (it's a really small town) until I finished the book (C. V. was mentioned). I wondered whether any of the family still lived there. I visited C. V. a couple of times years ago, but had no idea of the Bley connection.

Agree with the underlined. I searched interlibrary loan in vain for the Cappelletti book, but there are other jazz books I'd prefer to purchase. I don't pay much attention to Amazon reviews, but have limited appetite for "Euro academic" material.
-
Can't say. The Meehan is on my "to read" list but I can't find a copy. Autographed copy @$100 offered on Improvising Artists website, but I suspect the page/site is not active. I considered the Cappeletti, but it's really short and got a couple of s**t reviews on Amazon (a "Euro academic" tag discouraged me), so I decided not to spend $.

There's a book of interviews (probably difficult to find) and what looks to be a biography
-
Wouldn't be surprised if that timing thing was just a typo on the original release. There seems to be a bit of a Charles Stepney connection running through this BFT, and he did play vibes, but I don't think he could have been involved with #11.
-
In that case, B1 here? Credit to Randy for the spot. This is just follow-up via discogs. Weirdly, the track was only 5:15 long on the original release? At least according to discogs. Longer 5:56 on the 1996 reissue and subsequently.

Dub Modal ID'd 13 as Callier's Alley Wind Song, but no album.

Clicking on the link doesn't do anything. Going to thomkeith.net, I don't see a "music" tab.

RIP, sad news. Big fan of the Reservoir label. Didn't know Dr. Feldman personally (live a bit far from Kingston to have met him, although he was likely in the audience at some shows I attended), but own many Reservoir titles and had a few e-mail conversations regarding orders and catalog.

#10 is A3 here.

First rock records with extended improvisation
T.D. replied to Rabshakeh's topic in Miscellaneous Music
That Chambers Bros. tune (Time has come today) is a real classic. Growing up in the early '70s, it got loads of radio play, often coupled with Incense and Peppermints by the Strawberry Alarm Clock as examples of early psychedelia. -

I'm inclined to agree. Just summoned it on Youtube and couldn't make it through. 😉 -

I don't know for sure. Some people give the Rolling Stones credit for the first extended track, I don't think it was a hit. Going Home on the Aftermath album, recorded 1965, released 1/1/66 -
Perhaps the solo piano equivalent of overblown Neal Hefti charts. 😉 Pity you missed the Rzewski album, I'd like to hear that one. The Doris Hays and Karen Phillips discs look outstanding. IIRC Morton Feldman wrote The Viola in my Life for Phillips.
-
I'm definitely going to seek out the Donald Knaack recording of Marcel Duchamp's The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even. Erratum Musical. The George Flynn Kanal piano disc looks really interesting. The below-pictured Flynn set (supposedly a massive virtuosic finger-breaking extravaganza) was recommended to me, but I haven't yet heard it: Kanal is one of the 3 works on Trinity. Would be good to hear the composer play it.

Looked at the discogs page and it is an interesting catalog, but I never heard any of the albums, and no longer do vinyl so exploration is out. I'd skip the basic repertoire classical (e.g. Idil Biret), some of which might have come out on Naxos. Some modern classical items appeal. I saw an LP with Rzewki playing piano, which I'd go for. Several other good-looking multi-composer compilations. Wouldn't mind hearing the Virgil Thomson piano disc, though I probably wouldn't love it. Trouble is, most of the individual works have been served with plenty of good recordings that are easier to find. Also a couple of recognizable jazz names (Mann, Werner, Macero). Electroacoustic (Mimaroglu) seems like the main target. Didn't someone recently post a source for recordings of his, maybe an Aussie establishment (too busy to research)? That might be more fruitful than searching for obscure LPs.

I always had the impression (too lazy to look up sources) that Dorham, early in his career, was frequently referred to as Kinney.

Cool. I understimated Klemmer! In high school, I was into fusion "in real time" around '72-74, but mostly Miles, Mahavishnu, Weather Report, RTF. Miles was over my head at the time and I got tired of other fusion, moved on before hearing anything by Klemmer. Finally revisiting the genre / era. Album ID for #9: Track A1 here, probably (hard to make out audio) originally on B1 here.
-
Since Laura Nyro's been ID'd, #7 is A3 here. Sleuthed some other vocal tracks from the interwebs, but avoiding further spoilers so early in the month. The track with Klemmer is easy to sleuth because he and other players are named at the end, 'nuff said. Interesting reveal/reappraisal, since I identify Klemmer more with smooth jazz. Intensely curious but clueless about #6 and #11, going to wait for a reveal on those.
