Now listening to: Paul Motian Trio Postaula, Bremen (Germany) September 13, 1977 Charles Brackeen ts,ss David Izenzon b Paul Motian dr

Is this the only documentation of Ameen's playing outside of his work with Cecil Taylor? If so (and probably still so even if not), a major contribution to the discography. according to the lord discography on line he also appear on these sessions: Richard Dunbar Running Buddies, Vol.1 : Richard Dunbar (hrn) Fred Kelly (fl) Charles Tyler (as) Ken Hutson (b) Camille Gainer (d) Lenny King (perc) Terry Jenoure, Ramsey Ameen (vln) New York, May 22-29 & July 10, 1982 Running buddies Jahari JR102 Happy hip sad folk - The Mimi - Knock of opportunity - Variation on a theme by Scott Joplin - Synthesized existence - Richard Dunbar Richard Dunbar, Terry Jenourne (fhr) Fred Kelly (fl,pic) Ramsey Ameen (vln) Kevin Ross (b) Camille Gainer (d) Lenny King (perc) Artyanne Coleman (vcl) New York, May 22-29 & July 10, 1982 Running buddies Jahari Rec JR102 Synthesised existence (ac vcl) - Richard Dunbar Running Buddies Vol Two : Richard Dunbar (fhr,p,g,el-b) Fred Kelly (fl,pic) Larry Northington (ts) Ken Hutson, Kevin Ross (b) Camille Gainer, Ron Rahsaan (d) Lenny King (perc) Terry Jenoure, Ramsey Ameen (vln) New York, May 22-29 & July 10, 1982 Cup rods & wands Jahari JR103 Message in the wind - Solar winds golden showers - Morning rituals - Bird feathers - Longetivity brings its own rewards -

In addition to his own releases on Silkheart, Brackeen is also featured favorably on a few of Dennis Gonzalez' recordings on the same label as well with Paul Motian on ECM in the seventies. I have heard some live stuff by the Melodic Art-Tet, but I do not know if anything by that group has ever been officially released.

I have a couple of the sets from this label and my experience has been that they are typically a worthwhile investment if you are a fan of the music the label focuses on.

I have the recording with Erica Lindsay, which is very good. May have to check the solo disc out at some point.

Guess I better hold on to my 2002 Honda Accord for as long as I can.

I imagine they get a lot of queries from many worthwhile artists. It does not excuse the lack of response, but I am not necessarily convinced that the lack of response in this instance is probative of any "weirdness"

I caught both sets performed by the band at Firehouse 12 in New Haven the night before. I was somewhat distracted the first set by someone's continuous flatulent problems the first set, but thankfully they did not stay for the second set. I have heard halvorson in several settings with Anthony Braxton and Taylor Ho Bynum as well as others. She is always interesting to hear. On this night Finlayson and Irabagon were particularly impressive. I picked up the new disc while there as well as a few others since Firehouse 12 was having a bit of a sale on the discs on its label.

This is near the top of my want list. I heard Sarin Friday night with Michael Bates' Acrobat.

There are at least two radio broadcasts extant from 1973 with Stubblefield playing in a Mingus group with Joe Gardner, Don Pullen and Roy Brooks that have circulated among collectors.

I received a shipping notice today regarding my second order placed on the last day of the sale.

I listened to most of Good Citizen yesterday via Rhapsody. I very much enjoyed what I heard. Thanks for the recommendation! I have the solo piano CD, which I will have to give a listen to very soon.

Thanks for the extra info. No need to embed anything for me. As it turns out I probably will not be able to get down to New Haven tonight.

Are you Scott Clark? Who else is in the group? I can't access the wordpress site from work. Maybe I can sneak out to the New Haven performance.

So, when's the main hinting event? Well this afternoon I decided to just go with full direct disclosure and to my surprise she did not tell me I am out of my mind. Now I just have to decide how much I want to take the drive.

I have started to make preliminary hints to me wife to see if i can get down for the show friday.

The Nichols solo disc is next up on my listening pile.

I wish this was something I could catch as well. Not only is he a great musician, I have had several conversations with Gerald and thinks he is an extremely genuine person. Any doubts I had about Jones were eliminated when I heard his quartet Friday night at Firehouse 12 in New Haven. Fantastic.

I own the book as well. The CD that came with the book is excellent.
