KD sounds so good on this record. See: "Parker's Mood."

Very ECM: lovely, stately tempos, pellucid. But there's some risk-taking here. Dare I say Guidi's playing reveals a slight Mal Waldron influence? I like his harmonic imagination, whatever the case.

Buchla jazz.

Buzz, no Bunk. The whole thing has been ripped and posted to YouTube. I will hold off on posting a link here, as that's technically a bootleg (IMO). Will have to look for that; thanks! Has anyone here ever seen WHY? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324550/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm

The MY FLEETING HOUSE DVD might be the closest we ever get to that. HAPPY/SAD has "Love from Room 109 at the Islander (On Pacific Coast Highway)" and "Dream Letter," two of Buckley's more enduring compositions, IMO. It's also the album where he really begins to free himself from folksinger orthodoxy, a process also nicely documented on that WORKS IN PROGRESS disc.

BLUE AFTERNOON is a good disc for those looking for an introduction to Buckley's most fertile period, IMO. Once you're really ready for the adventurous stuff: LORCA, then STARSAILOR.

Yeah, listened this morning. Fine, quite loose performance. Sound OK too!

Thanks for the heads-up. Somehow I missed both this and the recently released Live At The Electric Theatre Co, Chicago, 1968. Anyone one here heard that one / have thoughts to share?

This is welcome news! I was just wondering the other day about how to procure all of Allison's Atlantics.

Donald Byrd, Coleridge Perkinson, and Duke Pearson knew what was up.

<< Recorded between 1963-2019, Degrees Of Freedom Found is a six CD set “Blue” Gene Tyranny hand selected from archival, live recordings, and brand new first recordings before his passing in 2020. Part new album, part retrospective, this box offers a fresh perspective on “Blue” Gene Tyranny’s musical legacy. Blue’s career defining moment, composing the music for Robert Ashley’s magnum opus, Perfect Lives, typifies the Buddha-like self-effacement of his musical life. Often lending a substantial supporting role to his friends’ more visible projects, Blue’s music under his own name blossomed in a more esoteric and highly personal manner outside of the spotlight. Across its many previously unreleased recordings, Degrees Of Freedom Found showcases a surprising, extroverted side of Blue’s music, alongside the virtuoso works of sensitive spirit for which New Music devotees have long revered him. >> https://unseenworlds.bandcamp.com/album/degrees-of-freedom-found

The marketing professional in me feels like giving major props to whoever snuck this through the approval process. The human being in me feels icky.

Wasn't that what the "Music Minus One" LPs were (kinda sorta) hinting at?

You may get paywalled, but the story behind these numbers is more complicated: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2021/06/02/abbott-says-biden-100-wrong-on-mask-mandate-and-owes-apology-for-neanderthal-gibe-whos-right/.
