this one, "Now's the time" indeed

Subconsciously by Gary Foster, also on Revelation, has three more duo tracks with Budimir, but with Foster on flute and tenor, plus an as/g duet with Larry Koonse

just realized that these sessions are described in the Dark Tree book (p. 236), apparently it was a planned album that wasn't released at the time, 68 minutes of music extracted from two nights of live recording with tracks including Ballad of Deadwood Dick, Motherless Child, Little Africa, Breakfast at Bongo's and Close to Freedom [of which the first three tracks make up 37 minutes of the CD in the book]... so if they stick to the album as originally planned (but not released because no label could be found) there will be 30 minutes of additional music... Intriguingly, the same paragraph also describes a sister album recorded a bit later in the studio where the band is augmented to an octet featuring Bobby Bradford... wouldn't be shocked if that is next on the list...

thanks for the heads-up! 37 minutes of that music are already in the CD for the Dark Tree book, curious how much / what they will add

thanks!

Indeed, most of her more recent discography is with Santana... she's on a 2014 Rodney Kendrick album that might qualify as "the genre of music you know"

thank to you all for your stories! just a side note, I recently read Low Life, the autobiography of pianist turned boxing promotor Charles Farrell (link), at some point, it becomes a book about boxing but the first 90 pages or so have plenty of stories that sound like sgcim's post above (and even later in the book, when the music is gone, the mob stories continue)

I never really understood the appeal of these classical music mega boxsets where you get 50-100 CDs with minimal information, no album covers, just the music and a thin booklet (compared to the amount of music), the added value over streaming seems seems minimal - if it even exists... I guess there's a market because classical music lovers are one of the last demographics who listen to nothing but CDs...

for the second one, they made a number of production decisions that made a lot of sense (to me at least): limit most of the singing to professionals (including Jeanne Lee) rather than have Bob Moses or Jack deJohnette sing on most tracks, add a guitar, and find ways to integrate Harold Vick, a talented man, better into the band...

that's a change in direction, from Compost to Wild Bill... played those two Compost albums recently and thought that the second one was quite a bit more successful...

I could imagine that you and Mr Miyazawa had two interests in common then...

It's been a while but I read most of Roth's ficition and quite a bit of the non-fiction at some point... I liked the Emperor's Tomb a lot actually, other favorites were Flight without End (best of the early work, can also be read as an indirect sequel to Radetzky March even though the family is named Tunda there and not Trotta) and Weights and Measures (my favorite among his Eastern Jewish themed work, I like it better than Job for instance)

that's one of the Joseph Roth books I know the least... sound very interesting ... (moving in with my girlfirend soon, so the Joseph Roth Poster will probably have to move to my office... those tradeoffs...moving the record collection to my office is not an option for various reasons)

had to google Irish jazz musicians as I also didn't know any other - seems like a remarkable gap... the other two names that rang a bell were guitarist Christy Doran (who left Ireland at age 11) and bassist Rick Laird (who left Ireland at age 16) but I guess they hardly count...

I guess Garrett/Johnson were one of the more interesting pickup groups... But still, no apparent traces of the west coast tour that was supposed to follow the Both/And gig... The review I found sounded a bit weird (the concert only got better when someone started to read Black Panther Promo material in an incomprehensible way behind the music, or something like that) will look it up tomorrow...

that caught my eye as well... re the bassist and drummer, apparently Hill went to San Francisco only with Rivers and hired a local b/dr team (Garrett/Johnson in that case), the journalist didn't think that was ideal even though he admitted that the second week was better

just searched a little bit on newspapers.com, the only lineup I came up with is a quartet with Sam Rivers, Donald Garrett and Oliver Johnson that played the Both/And in May 1966 this is from 21 April 1967: and this is from three weeks earlier:

the neighborhood beerstore has stocked up on Ukrainian beers...

well, Lion and Wolff are pretty much what stands between Tina Brooks and oblivion... in those days, the US was full of totally amazing Hard Bop Tenor Players, give me a time machine and a lottery win - I'll produce you a handful of hard bop classics... if Tina Brooks isn't available, I'll track down Joe Alexander in Cleveland, Nat Perilliat in New Orleans or the right guys in Chicago, LA, SF or Philadelphia... so many potentially amazing hard bop records went unrecorded - and Tina Brooks and his four albums really don't look like the point where stuff went wrong... if Tina Brooks really just recorded four albums because he was gay, you really don't want to know what was wrong with all those guys who recorded nothing at all...

I am pretty sure we didn't have a previous thread about this topic... it does make me hungry though

just got the new Bird in LA double cd and immediately noted a weird typo that seems consistent throughout the liner notes... bassist David Bryant (later with Horace Tapscott) is called "David Bailey", even when citing his recollections of Bird in the Central Avenue Sounds book... implying that whoever first wrote the text still knew the name - otherwise they wouldn't have found his recollections... and then at some point in the production process someone decided that having Clora Bryant in there was enough Bryants so David had to become a Bailey...

Dexter was supposed to play in Madrid on 28 October 1983 but had to be replaced by Johnny Griffin (link, link), for the two Dutch concerts in early 1983, I found reviews (here and here - in Dutch obviously) which I would consider positive without being particularly enthusiastic ("still good", "no surprises")...

here are some more from newspapers.com and delpher.nl (not exhaustive) 19 January 1983, Meervaart, Amsterdam 11 February 1983, Bimhuis, Amsterdam 22 March 1983 Blues Alley, Baltimore 22 April 1983 Baker's Keyboard Lounge, Detroit 26 July 1983 Concert in Kansas cancelled due to a recent Diabetes diagnosis 21 October 1983 Chameleon's Gardens in Philadelphia there definitely seems to be a slowdown from the summer of 1983 onwards

I'll definitely be getting the Kikuchi/Evans and the Takeru Muraoka album (w Kikuchi), probably also Palladium (all three can be sampled on youtube). The other Kikuchis I have and like a lot (w Silver World being the standout, but they're all great), also second the recommenation for Gentle November "a deep ballad album" describes it very well

Iirc Larry Kart has written here more than once about how Ira Sullivan was one of the top tenorists in a brief time window in the mid fifties... (a sentiment that I share, but i wasn't around) Generally, i have the feeling there's this semi-lost generation of artists who did their best work in the years right before Kind of Blue and the rest of 1959... (the classical Hampton Hawes Trio comes to mind as well, e.g.)
