The Jimmy Cleveland is EXCELLENT by the way! Very Happy to stumble onto this one. edt. for spelling.

Snatched up Introducing Jimmy Cleveland for $5 at Half Price used. The disk is scratched up, but how many more times is this one going to pop up?

The wife hit Virgin in Times Square for me last weekend and she got me: Steve Lacy: Evidence Don Cherry: Where is Brooklyn? Ornette Coleman: To Whom who keeps a Record Anthony Braxton: Three New Compositions of New Jazz (the Delmark one) Don Ellis: New Ideas and How Time Passes A pretty nice haul. Don't have the Beauty is a Rare Thing Box, so the Ornette is largely functioning as 'new' music for me (do have Twins and Art/Improvisors though).

I guess I got shuffled in with the spam/weirdo stuff that you denied I sent another friend request, I'm Big Tuna over there. Thanks! HG

How Time Passes and Essence

As for sideman dates, I think I have Ellis in two places. One is Vintage Dolphy where, if I remember, he is part of a bigger band backing Dolphy, although his solo definitely stands out from the other trumpeter. The other place is on a two cd set called Jazz Loft (which comes with a pretty nifty book) and there he is involved in just one jam session (It Don't Mean a Thing...) where I recall him being featured more prominently. Would like to check out those Russell dates though.

That's exactly how I got into Ellis's music. I first started with How Time Passes, which is a great album (I even like Jaki on alto sax...a peculiar, yet interesting style). Then on to New Ideas. I completely agree about Al Francis, that dude can play! Very nice album all around. Essence, though, is incredible! Bley and Peacock are on the case and I never thought I say this, but man can Peacock swing! Essence is probably my favorite of the small groups (I have not heard Out of Nowhere, any thoughts on this one?) Then I went to the PJ big bands. Monterey, in so many ways seems more satisfying then Jazz in7/2/3//4 (or whatever it is). I have not heard the Columbias, but it seems that Electric Bath is the next logical purchase.

Very Impressive. Sent a friend request too.

Great Cover! Everytime I look at it, it conveys an air of seriousness...until I read the album title! Hysterical!

Great One!

I wonder if they celebrate birthdays on his planet? Happy B-day nonetheless

Here's what I have: Music from Tomorrow's World Spaceship Lullaby Piano Recital Strange Celestial Road Sun Song Destination Unknown Sunrise in Different Dimensions Heliocentric Worlds, vols I and II Fate in a Pleasent Mood/When the Sun Comes Out When Angels Speak of Love Atlantis Greatest Hits Planet Earth/Low Ways Sound Sun Pleasure Jazz in Silhouette Spaceways/Bad and the Beautiful Supersonic Jazz Nuits de la Foundation Maeght vol II Hard to pick favorites, but I gravitate to the Chicago era most, then probably the NYC period next. Lokking forward to Strange Strings.

RIP. Like his contribution very much on both McLean's LFR as well as Hutch's Stick Up.

I just spun this one this morning, and its badass. I only own four cd's by Lacy (wish I had way more than that): The Forest and the Zoo-Don't recall anyone talking about this one in this thread (I'm sure I missed it somewhere, or someone will bring up where it was discussed). Along with NY Capers and Quirks, I enjoy this one the most. Great lineup with Rava, Moholo, and Dyanni. And surprsingly good sound for an ESP (I have the Italian Abraxes CD edition) Wish this one was longer. Moon-some people mentioned that this was not their fav, and its not mine either, but I like it enough. It fits right in with the BYG Actuel experimenting atmosphere of the late 60's. I have the cheap-looking, flimsy CD mini LP replica from sunspots, but it at least reproduces the original gatefold sleeve which has some pretty cool pics. NY Capers and Quirks-Kick ass. Actuality- Superb solo disk, besides Brotz and Braxton, not too many reedsmen can hold my attention through an entire solo record. Remarkable performance. Would really like to get School Days next.

I can't get enough of AB, and as mentioned earlier, the good and the bad. For example, The Braxton House 'Music for Puppet Theater' is pretty unusual, but I still find it interesting.

I think its great! [/quote/] I'm with Sal. I like this one too.

I think Braxton's a genius. Along with Brotzmann and Sun Ra, I will buy without hesitation any titles that I don't own by him. My humble collection consists of: Saxonphone Improvisations Series F- America-Universal Reissue Seven Compositions Trio-1989- HatArt Dortmund Quartet 1976- HatArt Eight (+3) Tristano Compositions-1989- HatArt 4 (Ensemble)Compositions-1992- Black Saint Composition No 102 (for Puppet Theater)- Braxton House Sextet (Istanbul)-1996- Braxton House Actuel 6- BYG-Fuel 2000 Reissue Victoriaville-1992- Victo For Alto- Delmark Forgot One: Duets-Vancouver 1989 (w/ Crispell) -Music and Arts

Lewis blew me away on Dortmund '76. That band with Holland/Lewis/Altschul was a mofo.

That's got to be one of the most out jazz organ solos I've ever heard. Herbert Morgan was another surprise. Enjoyed him on Of Love and Peace.

Its Julius Watkins and James Spaulding though -_- .
