Wes. So Much Guitar. Riverside Stereo first press. Just like this one. But no shrink wrap.

That hardly figures. The truly hardcore have found a way to heard this session, but hardly everyone. I wasn't even aware there was a window in which to get my mitts on the music. Put it out on EMI-Japan, and hundreds of copies would sell due to the number of completists out there (and then some of the hardcore folks who either want to be legit, want the tangible product with liner notes or both). How do you know there's not liner notes with the illicit copies I don't. That's the problem. Well I haven't got a copy either if it makes you feel any better. (Smile). Then again I haven,t got a copy of Natural Essence in my collection either (yet). So l bloody well don't deserve one. (Smile). I do have the Larry Young Mosaic box though. Does that qualify as committed (big smile).

Maybe McLaughlin wanted to move away from gritty, or just couldn't deliver it on his own. Mahavishnu tends to crossover to prog fans.

My Ted Dunbar album sounded a bit harsh on listening. My Jimmy Raney one is OK.

Hampton made 6 figure donations to Republican political causes. Nice. Obviously George Benson. Pat Metheny must be rolling in it. Jamey Aebersold Lot's of other people that didn't do drugs or were White. Michael Brecker? John McLaughlin?

It might be out as an 'ebook'. Sometimes they put em out online before the hard copy books.

Will they be warped if they're still sealed? Only cos I'm interested in getting some......

Or Monty Python... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gQrqHDBQ4o

That's right its all about us! Well it's simple then. We need someone to get inside this silly religious thing, get Mr Washington de-programmed and willing to play again. Get some gigs organised with some young hip White kids (or Allen Lowe), and get the vibe happening. Then get Universal via dustygroove to come to the party. And also....in terms of the actual session being discussed...if someone who has deeply listened to Tyrone Washington's discography as roosterties has, hears this session as a high point, I would bet London to a brick his ears are more attuned to the 'quality - BN legacy bullshit', than some others may be while they were dealing with 'everybody's' session discographies.

They can end the film with Miles triumphant return to the studio recording 'Man With The Horn'......errrrrrr.......

no no I'm defense counsel!!! even here, under somewhat dubious circumstances, Stitt's tone and rhythmic facility merit attention and praise. I've had it with horn players of all persuasions-- straight and erstwhile 'avant'-- who play slurry not as a considered choice but because they don't have the ability to do otherwise. (Compare Ornette to his epigone Jemeel Moondoc; compare Stitt on any horn to-- hah hah-- Ken Vandermark or Branford etc.) All Stitt is very good Stitt and more than enough is much better than that. Just cuz certain yokels-- not thinking of anyone in particular, rather the general condescension towards Stitt-- couldn't keep up, that shouldn't be our problem, nor should we accept less esp. when there aren't any better ideas attached to the erstwhile 'alternatives'-- Did Jemeel Mooondoc refuse your insistent pleading for a **** *** behind the barn.

The usual. Regular rotation of soul jazz guitar players and organ for my never ending guitar studies, and then their free jazz progeny and associated saxophone cohorts. Plus a growing 'Spotify', habit to make playlists and listen to the great Soul singers like Ann Peebles, Syreeta, Gil Scott Heron, lots of soul era Albert King. There is a huge Contemporary White Soul scene in my capital city at the moment. Hoping it might migrate towards my slightly regional home base and stifle the 'post - hair metal' crowd. Ha Ha Ha.

That must have been a weird trip for a while there MG. Go and put on Idle Moments and forget all about it (Smile). Ha ha!

Thanks for this, KH, I snoozed on the Kickstarter but now I want to listen to the clips and at least do a FLAC download. Interesting notes - it says that everything was recorded on reel-to-reel? I could have sworn hearing that when Dorn got the tapes they were all original and on cassette. Is it really too much to hope that this could be an ongoing Kickstarter project to get these tapes out? Or was it easier to do since this was a local band made up of folks with little national reputation at the time, and getting the Patton/Green recording or Mobley/Coles would be too difficult due to estate issues? I thought the real issue was that a lot of the tapes had deteriorated to the point they were no longer usable. I assumed this meant the ones with GG and Patton and Mobley etc, al.

Who is the amazing and mysterious guitar player on this session? Is it Richard Martin? http://stljazznotes.blogspot.com.au/2007/05/in-search-of-richard-martin.html Sarnie Garrett is the guitarist. Very obscure player; only other mention I've seen is on a 2LP compilation of Afro-American poetry, on which he accompanies some readings. I don't have that set. I agree that Garrett sounds a lot like Richard Martin, whose work I enjoy as well. Now: Jolas/Xenakis/Boucourechliev - Quatuor II/Hermas/Archipel 1 - (EMI Perspectives Musicales, FR) Why did I know you would know this! I should look at the backs of my album covers I remember the name now, and always thought Sarnie was maybe a girl. But I see it could be a guy's name. Kinda like a variation on Arnie. Like S'wonderful

I always thought Pitchin Can was a jam around the All Blues bass line. Which anchors the whole All Blues thing anyway.

I always forget the Broadway composers when I think of Coltrane too

The Boss (recorded in my hometown) is fabulous. The Magnificent Goldberg thinks so, too. Decided to spin this myself. Some parts are beyond fabulous; they're scary - like Smith's solo on the title tune. I know this session well from my cd. Can't wait to hear it on vinyl. Nathan Page and George Benson and Jimmy Smith is too much. Possibly my favourite JOS maybe.

I would be listening to these recent finds if the Denon DL304 cartridge I purchased supposedly new didn't have an offset cantilever and has been taken back to the distributor for a refund. Now have to find one in the US and wait about two weeks (if I'm lucky) before getting one sent and set up. Mono, DG, RVG looks vg+ vinyl, cover taped together, $29.00 Verve original, mint, never seen a turntable I do believe? Still sealed! Too scared to open it in case it's warped.

And they can follow that with Grant Green John Patton Harold Vick and Hugh Walker! How much will you pledge to hear that one Chewy

I thought this thread must be about Sly Stone or Gil Scott Heron

He was really more of an orator than a singer
