    If you want to fully understand what was happening in LA "rock circles" there at the ass-end of the sixties, you are in some wahy obligated to own copies of the first three Nesmith First National Band LPs. Besides, he had Red Rhodes on pedal steel. Always loved Zappa's Byrds reference in this little bit, how it breaks Nesmith up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNJy-OgCzB0 PS - more incontrovertible, IMHO, Souled American > the entire mass of "No Depression" bands

    Let me just say, Nathanael West is one of those authors that, when I first read him way back when, made me want to write novels. Enjoy! Some video from the Malvern Reading of January 8. It was very cold in Austin that night, but Malvern is a great bookstore (especially for anyone interested at all in contemporary poetry). http://youtu.be/XNu0gokwEpQ More footage can be found here: http://malvernbooks.com/tag/novel-night/ Thanks thanks thanks...

    One of the quintessential LA "rock" figures; at his best, a kind of visionary (INTERNATIONAL HEROES), at his worst, too creepy for his or anyone else's own good. But what a life, and what a strange legacy!

    Hannibal Peterson was a student at NTSU / UNT in a slightly later era, correct?

    Hi all. Just a couple of news items to share... An excerpt from CREPUSCULE W/ NELLIE appears in the most recent issue of THE COLLAGIST. You can read it here: http://thecollagist.com/the-collagist/2014/12/5/crepuscule-wnellie-by-joe-milazzo-jaded.html. Also, I will be reading in Austin, TX at Malvern Books on the evening of January 8 2015 (a TH). More details about the even can be found here: http://malvernbooks.com/event/novel-night/?instance_id=739. Happy holidays!

    Wayne Shorter, "Water Babies," SUPERNOVA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ6kSXWhJBU Please do not sleep on Budd Johnson's considerable abilities on soprano saxophone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnxY2euFe1Q Finally, not to everyone's tastes, but Lol Coxhill remains one of the more original players (and thinkers) on this instrument. Lacy-inspired, sure, but with his own sense of waywardness.

    Call Mr. Lee! The chronology is rather scrambled, but for reasons (I won't claim they're good reasons, though). Trust that the section headers provide some guidance... And thanks! JM

    Let's be thankful we have both.

    Check out Parquet Courts / Parkay Quartz. May sound a bit too much like Pavement on Thorazine to some, but LIGHT UP GOLD (recent, though not 2014) is, IMO, a great scum rock philosophical tract. On a more gentle, shoegazey trip, I highly recommend Crushed Stars' FAREWELL YOUNG LOVERS.

    Chuck: Amazon is as good a place as any, or you can order direct from the publisher, here: http://bit.ly/1rT6Kxn Thanks thanks thanks; best, JM

    Greetings all. Again, my sincere thanks for all your support with this book. It has been a fascinating month, now that it is out and (very gradually) reaching readers. If I you have read and enjoyed or otherwise felt rewarded by your experience with the book, may I request that you please consider posting a rating or even a review at Goodreads and / or Amazon? Problematic institutions both, but they each do take feedback seriously, and it does help in raising the CREPUSCULE W/ NELLIE's profile. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22886178-crepuscule-w-nellie http://www.amazon.com/Crepuscule-Nellie-RECURRENT-Joe-Milazzo/dp/1937543609/ Again, many thanks; best, JM

    Sad news. A player of real lyricism and power. His Muse dates are sadly MIA. Of the Steeplechases, another vote for the duets with Johnny Dyani. SUITE FOR CHOCOLATE, a quartet with Khan Jamal, is also quite fine.
  16. Joe
    :tup :tup for ANTIQUITY (the aforementioned duet with Michael Carvin).

    Happy to see so much love for JACKIE'S PAL here. And, Late, totally agreed... I'd love to hear more of Jackie playing tenor.
  18. Joe
    Another; among my favorite JM sideman appearances...
  19. Joe
    That's an interesting record that kind of serves as a counter-argument to the notion that all Prestige dates were slapdash affairs... clearly a great deal of thought was put into this album, the mood of which is almost unrelentingly bleak. My personal favorite is the quintet date with Bill Hardman (JACKIE'S PAL), followed by the Waldron quartets that were spread out over several LPs.
  20. Joe
    I'm also a huge fan of the quintet date with KD and the Clark / Warren / Higgins rhythm section that was originally issued as part of HIPNOSIS 2-LP set.

    Looking forward to reading this. A musician of rare ability.

    The Pettinger biography says NKC was perhaps Evans' most significant influence. Voicings?
  25. Joe
    ... The question is: who was the missing link between BP and BE? Andy LaVerne has postulated that it was Sonny Clark. NYC's No Lark. Clark and Evans both owe something to Tristano, too... and maybe Al Haig. Though, yeah, Bud's influence is sure pervasive (though nobody, to my ears, could ever play with quite his pulse.)
