Not quite the "female Nick Drake," but close enough.

Nice! I always liked Herbie Mann's work on bass clarinet. Before him, there's Harry Carney and Benny Goodman? Who else?

Indeed!

Records I'd forgotten about...

Some of Evans' best work from the post-LaFaro era, IMO

Sounds surprisingly like late 90s Stereolab at time (if you will pardon that anachronism).

Another vote for PEACE and MR. B. STROLLIN', also on Enja, is very fine, too. Chet revisits Zieff's "Sad Walk" on this date.

Terribly sad news. Condolences to his friends and family.

Fascinating! I always looked to LaRoca's BASRA as the best indication of what a Trane quartet with Kuhn might have sounded like. This weirdly fussy (but not unenjoyable... Kuhn's chops are underappreciated, I think, and, when he goes, out, he doesn't really sound like anybody else... I think it's the shapes he makes...) take on "Impressions" argues for some reconsideration.

I sure hope so!

Not quite sunshine pop, but, hey, it was the punk era. (Yes, the dbs.)

Yeah, I much prefer it to the studio DREAMTIME.

Interesting! This site lists a number of unissued sessions from that era. http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/chronological.html

Carpe diem-ed!
