    Arrived today. I’d say if you like this album and only own the bootleg version like I died you’d really want to get it. Also if you like some of the extras. This boxed set is really beautifully done by Luaka Bop. Wow!

    sound is much better than the bootleg but recording conditions weren’t ideal of course. Glad I was able to sell that one and buy this one. I love this approach to the music and I’m pretty sure the cd will be equally as great. 

    That lead sheet is a really nice addition...

    I've come to learn some things about Max that are not at all flattering, so my "hero worship" that I long had has greatly dimmed.

    But my reality-based ongoing experiences with his music, ALL of it, leaves me with an even greater admiration for those parts of his life, which as time passes are in some ways "larger than life", especially what passes for life these days. 

    A friend of mine's grandpa was a gigging drummer in St Louis, his grandma still gets pissed any time Max Roach is brought up , apparently it was not wise to let him borrow stuff or loan him any money (at least during the time my friend's grandparents knew him)

    I've set it up to record. There's also some kind of Mingus doc. on our PBS station right after the Max program.

    What Mingus doc??

    "Frustration" about people like Sonny, Art Pepper, Miles, etc.srems to be rooted in the players not doing what we think they should be doing. I tend more towards trying to understand why they are doing it and going from there.

    I really dig this perspective...

    Reminds me of Anthony Braxton's "friendly experiencers" concept, a compassionate and adventurous audience...

    What's heard in the video clearly was beyond the comprehension capacities of any German rock fan or tv host of the time. No neat song structures - even The Flock or B,S & T had that. 

    I mean there are some "krautrock" bands that reach similar territory to Lifetime. Have you ever listened to Exmagma? Rock trio of former members of Wolfgang Dauner's group doing fusion and prog in pretty equal measure...

    ..... and here's an album no fusion basher would have participated in:

    Arcana - The Last Wave

    Bill Laswell, Derek Bailey & Tony Williams

    Totally killer album! Not a big fan of the second one even though I love the sax stuff on it, I think Buckethead is the weak link for me.

    I love the rave party-animal energy coming from that digital flyer. He has always seemed to me like a rather far out dude, and I love his music.

    Have you heard the recording of that one-off rock show he did in the late 60s? Kind of like a more free Velvet Underground

    Cool.  Aside from Solomon's Daughter and Spirits of Our Ancestors (as well as some live performances I attended), I'm embarrassingly blank on post-1973 Pharoah. :(

    Solomon's Daughter is great, as is that Weston album (Khepera was good too) ...

    Some other good latter-day Pharoah releases:

    • Journey to the One (1980)
    • Rejoice (1981)
    • Africa (1987)
    • Spirits (2000)
    • Africa N'Da Blues (2000, featured artist with Kahil El'Zabar ritual trio)
    • Divine Radiance (2003, sideman date with Tisziji Muñoz)
