give it a shot.

Remember that series well - even bought the book that mirrored it (& still have it) He almost didn't make it in 1999 after his horrific car accident in Northern Australia - a lot of recuperation was required after that I'll miss him His reputation never really recovered either as far as I am concerned. I also do not believe his awful comments about others at the time were wrongly attributed to him. They replayed a Denton interview on ABC tonight in tribute and he did his best to contextualise his bitterness and deny the racism. Very sadly, he was estranged from an adult son who subsequently committed suicide. He had a hell of a well educated Western mind, I'll give him that. And he loved painting.

Well hopefully Keith Jarrett is not an old and dear friend of yours - because up until a year ago I assumed he was a fair skinned African American like Kenny Burrell. Did Jarrett ever don African clothes to go with his fro?

Has this been posted yet. Just saw a promo on Youtube.

He's crying like a baby Good night of cycling though.

Here's a novel way for you to promote the new release perhaps. My link

in which post? It was a rhetorical question. It's said at the end of the Ulla clip. Back to 'Self-deprecating Jewish Humor: Ill Effects' if anyone can add anything.

I really like the drumming in the improv section. Not sure about the sax player though. Where did you find him?

Not crazy prices for this one, but I bet the bidding goes high at the deathknell. Somewhere close to $300 maybe. My link Same seller sold Harold Vick's Steppin Out for $200 a few months ago.

I think this is being disingenuous to Baraka's identity. So what if he 'emerged' at a certain point in a Dashiki and shades. Does that make him less an authentic African American than himself?

Yes, I found that really fascinating, coming from a background that knew nothing of 'The Arts' - helped explain and create a bit of curiosity about painting that was well outside my comfort zone. 'The Fatal Shore' is one of those books I keep meaning to read. R.I.P. Hughes was at his best when he stuck to International Visual Art, not Australian tyranny. Everyone looking to explore the history of the fatal shore, would be better off reading a contemporary book by Alexis Wright or Kim Scott for a deeper perspective.

I wish he wouldn't. If Eartha Kitt and William S. Burroughs did an album together, I'd buy it. But I'd probably rather hear Eartha singing Lonely Woman. I'd prefer my Eartha without Burroughs. But then again, I prefer my everything without Burroughs. as for Blood and the Blues, with regard to the album in question - the song 'Cheering' is shit hot. Especially with Charles Burnham's violin. This was Blood 'singing the blues', before he was actually 'singing 'The Blues" - if you know what I mean

is there anything about the humor in this clip that is particularly "Jewish" in content/style? aside from the fact that Mel Brooks is Jewish? by the way - she is of course insanely hot... Perhaps not in this small snippet And maybe not even self-deprecating. But we are back on the topic of humour. What were you saying?

Even if it wasn't, kudos for working the word into the conversation! Well I kinda think it was/is. About a music moving towards it's inevitable point of Afro-centric self determination. It's a big grown up word that cuts through a lot of crap. It's a big word that neatly encapsulates a lot of crap. Teleological perfectly sums up what I believe Baraka and self determination was/is about and why he may have wanted to look beyond hard bop even if he loved the music. Argue against it if you feel it is a misguided assertion on my behalf.

and in the spirit of Robert Hughes - I would just like to say - he was a pompous, overprivileged wanker, who showed his true colours when his back was against the wall

Thanks KH1958. That paints a great picture for someone who only knew of it from afar as principally a record label. So it was begun through philanthropic support in a way. I guess the wholistic approach couldn't be sustained over the long haul. What an amazing run of music though! Did the record label wind down a lot earlier than the club, or did they also change direction. I'll never forget walking into the big city record store I used to frequent and going to the Jazz new releases section in 1987, and right at the front was the bizarro cover of the Blood Ulmer album. WOW...what is this...and it said Blood was 'singing the Blues' as well

Fantastic. It seems from this 'even though it doesn't say', maybe we can look forward to getting a dvd or bluray release soon enough. I remember seeing this film when I was a young 'harmolodician' And have been wanting to see it again ever since. Even tried a few 'dark corners of cyberspace' when I first learned the internet was my friend. Alas, no joy. This thread may be a good opportunity to ask 'kh1958 and any others', what was the Caravan Of Dreams story about. The appearance of the label (and the Ornette film), roughly corresponded to the beginning of my awareness of improv music, and it seemed that for a while there, a new Caravan Of Dreams record popped up in the new release section of my city record stores on a regular basis. Then nothing. It almost seemed to signal the end of a movement. I remember reading somewhere (though I cannot remember where), that most of the musical activity surrounding the centre was filmed as well as recorded, so there may be a treasure of what is now really historical footage.

Number one indeed! On with the 200m. In his trackside after race interview, Usain announced to Australia on National TV that he will be visiting downunder in September for a 'holiday'. He's obviously not interested in slipping into the country 'incognito' and getting away from it all for a few days

Oh dear. My link Day 8 Gold. US 26, China 25, France 8, GB 14, Aust. 1 Go China

Yes. I can't believe it, she wrote 'September' and 'Boogie Wonderland' for EW&F and 'I'm so Excited' for the Pointer Sisters. Pretty funky lady George never stooped that low.
