Paul Bley 'Turning Point' (IAI)

When I heard Wayne Shorter playing in a Village club back in September 1965, Herbie Hancock was with him. Richard Davis was on bass and Joe Chambers on drums.

The same, several years ago...

Andrew Hill Mosaic Select, discs 2 and 3

Holden Caulfield when he got old

Now that we have vol. 1, 2 and 3, the question is now... was there a vol. 4 (and 5 and so forth...)?

Max Roach 'Long As You're Living' (Enja)

Bestbuy food in town just join the queue (it's fries and mayonnaise). There are many places like that around town!

Volume Two is the Tenors Head-On Liberty LP so says the line just above the album title. Also a small note on the back cover (liner notes by Howard Rumsey)

Still looking good at 79 (when the photo was taken last May)

Should have ignored Nessa's advice and bought a dozen of those Slack Mosaic Selects. Take a look at how much the sets fetch on Amazon.com these days (they're not even listed on eBay): Slack Select at $888

That's the one I have. Given by Bernard Stollman back in 1967 (along with many other ESP vinyls) at the ESP offices on 5th Avenue in lieu of payment for various services and photos!

Eric Dolphy 'Conversations' (FM, mono)

Great music! Thanks for linking this site Can't get enough Pepper!

From Jeff Schwartz e-book on Ayler: The group's appearance on British TV had seemed jinxed from the start, as problems with their accommodations had forced the musicians to wander the streets of London, where they could not be reached by the anxious producers. When the two half-hour programs were recorded, the music contained an absolute minimum of improvisation. Even a purely thematic recital must have been too much for 1966 England. Shocked programming executives ordered it destroyed, though bootleg audio (and possibly video) copies of this continuous half-hour piece may exist. No traces of the images and the sounds (a BBC broadcast) seem to have surfaced yet!

Same here (Paris, France). The jazz section opens with Art Pepper's Blues for the Fisherman set! http://www.cdbaby.com/Style/jazz

J.R. Monterose 'Live in Albany' (Uptown)

The record label PI is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary Article in The New York Times today!

For home consumption only Not surprised Albert Ayler is not included in the list. BBC's treatment of Ayler is a sad story
