  1. Familair with much of this history, but still nice to read interviews with Subotnick, Oliveros, Buchla et al. I have learned one bit of trivia from this book, though. Tony Martin, the artist who basically invented the whole idea of a "psychedelic light show"... the son of David Stone Martin.
  2. Simmons is always worth hearing, IMO. Barbara Donald too. Simmons + Donald = high priority purchase.
  3. A new review of this novel @ Necessary Fiction (thanks to reviewer Stuart Ross)! http://necessaryfiction.com/reviews/CrepusculeWNelliebyJoeMilazzo
  4. Always happy to know there is more Lucky Thompson to be heard.
  5. I like that Horace Silver record quite a bit.
  6. Yeah, kind of an eerie experience listening to that solo. I can certainly believe it's Coltrane.
  7. Yeah, strange provenance for these. Like Jim, I was surprised to see them carry the Nagel-Hayer imprimatur.
  8. The Higgins and Hawes are great additions to this list. I'm also very fond of THE SEANCE, which comes from the same gig as I'M ALL SMILES, IIRC. Still, and as mentioned in post #1, this is my favorite Hawes trio record of all.
  9. Another one: Joe Henderson's "The Kicker" (as evidenced most recently by a Criss Cross release under pianist Danny Grisset's leadership, THE IN-BETWEEN).
  10. Not sure of many of these are recent enough to qualify, but they immediately come to mind: "Little B's Poem" (Bobby Hutcherson) "Ida Lupino" (Carla Bley) "Escapade" (Kenny Dorham) "Birdland" (Joe Zawinul) "Sail Away" (Tom Harrell)
  11. Thanks to Miles, but not exclusively due to his influence, "Time After Time" (Lauper / Hyman) seems to have made its way into the lower echelons of the GAS.
  12. I think what I most appreciate about Rowles are the degrees of "tastefulness" in his playing. I.e., he has a strong intuitive sense of when not to be so "tasteful."
  13. I would also single out occasional (last I checked) O-board member Frank Kimbrough for more recognition. His latest, on Palmetto, show more of an Andrew Hill influence that previous records I recall under his own name. Either way, a lyrical player whose work possesses an individual tensile quality. NOUMENA (Soul Note) is another favorite.
  14. Re: Richard Grossman. The Hat discs are wonderful, but this remains my favorite item in his sadly rather meager discography. (Nine Winds)

    It's Newk's Time

    Thank God there are still some giants walking this earth.
  16. Additional discussion of the Blue Coronet, Bed-Stuy "back in the day," audiences, Jackie's experiences there, etc. in A. B. Spellman's 4 JAZZ LIVES / 4 LIVES IN THE BEBOP BUSINESS. Specifically, in the Cecil Taylor -- another, and rather different survivor -- chapter of said book. https://goo.gl/dV55rn
  17. Yea, I've little doubt that Jackie had to live with his own form of PTSD (for lack of a better descriptor) because of certain choices he made... but also the choices imposed on him by American culture. That ON MARS film reveals as much.
  18. Does it ever sadden me to read that. Jackie was as survivor, and deserved respect based on that fact alone.
