six string

Memory could be faulty but I think it was the Incredible String Band.

I dropped the ball. I did listen to the track but I didn't have this thread available and couldn't remember the details enough to analyze it. Next time!

I started djaying last year at a friend's cider tasting room and I've used their records from time to time with good responses fr M the crowd. I grew up hearing them on the radio but ignored them for years after that because I was too "hip" but I started buying their lps about twenty years ago and found out I was misguided. They are hip in their own way.

Circa 1999 I saw him several times in local venues as he was living here for a while but one of the more memorable times was when he was in the audience for a Eddie Harris show. We were sitting at tables next to each other up front so I could hear things and he was giving Eddie shit all night. Sure it was friendly teasing but weird. Alcohol might have been involved. Another time he came into a hotel that was being used to celebrate the local NPR station going fulltime jazz and Joey Calderazo was playing piano in a room and when he decided to take a break Jimmy sat down and played piano for about fortyfive minutes. That was a real treat.

Np Grant Green's Idle Moments (Blue Note) Analogue Prod. 45 RPM Pressing Haven't played this in a while so it's sounding extra good this morning.

Very interesting. I'm going to give it a listen today.

Bartz-Henderson-Conners - Live at Nemu Jazz Inn 19July1975 Gary, Eddie and Norman of course with Reggie Workman and Elmer Gibson. Three long tracks including a nce version of Naima.

NP Walt Dickerson - Life Rays (Soul Note) w/Sirone and Andrew Cyrille from 1982

George Wein Presents Toshiko (Storyville/Trio reissue) w/Paul Chambers and Ed Thigpen! Quiet Japanese pressing. Recent purchase and pleased.

Blue Mitchell - Step Lightly. (Blue Note) LT series copy I scored today. I've been wanting a copy for some time and this copy didn't break the bank.

NP Bennie Maupin Qt. - Early Reflections (Cryptogramophone) i wish this group had recorded more music together.

Np Andrew Hill - Eternal Spirit (Blue Note) 1989 sometimes this one gets lost in the shuffle but I like hearing Hutcherson w/Hill and Greg Osby is a nice addition. His adventurous soloing mixed wth his lovely tone makes for satisfying listening.

Indeed. The two albums I listen to the most by the band for decades now.

NP Marcin Wasilewski Trio Live. (ECM) first spin.... next up my other purchase today, Andrew Cyrille's Lebroba.

NP Ralph Towner - Diary (ECM) German pressing i think this was my first Towner lp back in the day. Still sounds so good to these ears.

WP Caetano Veloso - first album NP Brasil '65 Introducing Wanda Sah

NP Brad Mehldau - Art Of The Trio vol.2 i haven't played this in years so it's sounding particularly fresh this morning.

NP Donald Byrd - Slow Drag (Blue Note) Liberty stereo lp Sonny Red!

WP Miles/Evans - Porgy & Bess NP Daniel Lanois - Belladonna (w/Brian Blade) I have always loved DL's pedal steel playing and never felt like I got to hear much of it until he released this album.

NP Billy Hart - All Our Reasons (ECM)

Oh hell yeah! NP Red Mitchell/Tommy Flanagan - You're Me (Phontastic) 1987 cd nice little duo album from two who know how to do it.

NP Bobo Stenson - Very Early (Dragon) cd

My intro to the supranino was Ian Anderson's playing on A Passion Play and subsequent tour. I'll get me coat.

I bought it back then too but I've played it many times. Often enough that I've re-evaluated a few albums I didn't immediately fall for. YMMV

I've been going through the Joe Henderson Mileston box since yesterday. NP Disc 4 Pursuit Of Blackness followed by JH in Japan. It's been a while since I toured this collection and I'm enjoying it immensely.
