Was just listening to this the other night. Fine one indeed. Chuck said something a while back about the Riker's Island LP being much, much better in mono. Does that hold true for other Audio Fidelity LPs? I wouldn't be surprised... But I never saw the mono editions of these! When given the choice, I always picked the mono copy back in the vinyl times Now listening to: Ted Brown 'Free Spirit'

A sample from the controversy (in French) from the Ayler.co;uk website), as published in Jazz-Hot in February 1967: La Musique Contre Nous Buin was also a participant in the debate...

Bill Barron-Ted Curson 'Now Hear This! Audio-Fidelity, stereo)

'Trails of Tears' is not an album I return very often. Because of its theme (the 19th Century forced deportation of Cheerokees), the mood is very somber and you have to be in the right mood to listen to it. But then it is a very rewarding experience. Coursil remains one of the more interesting musician currently creating works of art!

A very recent thread on the same subject.

I am with you Agustin! I have yet to be fully convinced that Contador is indeed guilty!

Turk Mauro 'The Underdog' (JazzCraft)

Yes!

I took part in a panel about Albert Ayler in the late '60s shortly after Ayler's concerts at Salle Pleyel. Jef Gilson was very much against Ayler's music. I was on the opposite side. Never was a fan of Gilson's music after that!
