Joe

His work with George Russell merits attention. THE ESSENCE OF, TRIP TO PRILLAGURI, the original ELECTRONIC SONATA FOR SOULS LOVED BY NATURE, and ESOTERIC CIRCLE.

Thank you for your service, Dr. Sunenblick. RIP.

Horace Silver.

So this was meant to serve as library music? Not familiar with this recording, but intrigued!

A sad loss. Underrated songwriter and apparently a fine person.

Diz, Courtney Pine and several other musicians of note also make cameos on FAFFNER HALL. Thomas Dolby seems to be having quite a bit of fun here.

I do remember. This was true even after they moved to NW Hwy (the old building that was decked out like a ship). My father did lots of business with Ken and Pat. Some of my earliest memories are of the old flagship store on McKinney Ave. (only their second location, IIRC) and flipping through boxes of comic books there. HPB and Texas Bookman were "disruptors" long before Silicon Valley made that a thing.

Yes, a terribly underrated recording!

Yes, and I just discovered the live version (somehow)! https://www.discogs.com/Milton-Nascimento-Som-Imagin%C3%A1rio-Milagre-Dos-Peixes-Gravado-Ao-Vivo/release/2598158

Have you checked Muffwiggler? https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/ Also: http://vintagesynthpatchsheets.com/moog.php

Well, there are Texas (Houston) roots to consider, too. See also: Illinois Jacquet and Arnett Cobb.

Not to be confused with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyapatia_Lee (Seriously, very interesting; thanks for posting this!)

Was Marty Paich leading his own bands by this point in his career, or just doing studio work? I'm guessing the latter.

Hmmmm, intriguing!

Nice.

RIP Patches.
