Brötzmann is very lyrical on this one at times. Good record from the '90s .

Yes

Emanem / Psi has a (closing-down?) sale on all its CD stock: http://emanemdisc.com/

According to Neidlinger, this was recorded in John Bergamo's living room in Buffalo, NY where all three were based at the time. Here is a quote from Neidlinger's 2003 interview (i.e. way before the "Gayle Force" release): When I was in Buffalo I had a group with Andrew White and also Charles Gayle. I discovered [Gayle] in Buffalo at that time; he was pushing televisions around the Westinghouse factory. He came down to a session I used to have at a little coffee shop and sat in, and that was the end of my friendship with Andrew White, who just detested him. AAJ: What year was that? BN: It was probably late ’62; [Gayle] wasn’t working as a musician because nobody wanted anybody to play like that. I thought he was great...

I just discovered - any to my surprise, enjoyed greatly - this 1965(!) trio session of Gayle, Buell Neidlinger and John Bergamo, released in 2015 on Neidlinger's K2B2 Records as "Gayle Force". Apparently, this is the earliest recorded evidence of Gayle. Up to now, I've disliked Gayle, thought he was absolutely one-dimensional and boring - but this session made me reconsider. His playing (as well as Neidlinger's and Bergamo's) is excellent. Confidently relaxed, powerful and varied; nice tenor sound too. Not too many people were playing like this in 1965! It's on Spotify too:

Nice catalog. Will buy that Mark Sanders release for sure. I have two Butcher releases, bought them from him at the concert a few months ago, need to listen to them finally. These are CDrs, fwiiw.

This thread prompted me to pull out the Future Sounds of Jazz compilation CDs on Compost label I have from my partying days. I remember quite liking them as background music back in the day (I thought it was better than whatever was being played in the clubs), but today I failed to force myself to listen to them for longer than 10 minutes, even at the background. It's all actually well made (albeit numbingly predictable) stuff, but this whole repetition thing is not something I can tolerate these days. I would not be able to listen to Philip Glass either (Reich maybe). So sorry, no recommendations from my side. I remember early Truffaz was OK. Oh, I remembered one - Graham Haynes bpm on Knitting Factory. It's not entirely successful, but some of it is quite entertaining:

Probably my favorite Mosaic set.

Banalities-infested intro aside, this is a good (and educational - I am not very familiar about Lazro's early works) read.

Jazz in the '90s blog upcoming?

Congratulations, Clifford!

Looks like somebody barely literate scribbled (with noticeable difficulty) on whatever was lying around. Munched the digipak as well.

Was listening to some Rosengren today, and decided to read his Wikipedia entry - only to discover that he died a couple of days ago.

Stretching the definition of a jazz musician, Frank Zappa used to paint when he was young:

You want weird? You want genius? Here we go:

It's all (or nearly all) on Spotify.

12 - that's only the ones that are on Pi. There are other ones on bandcamp. I like this one a lot: https://billlaswell.bandcamp.com/album/too-much-sugar-for-a-dime

Everything comes to an end eventually, and Mr Davidson is 80 already. I am very grateful to him for all the music he released. I ordered from him directly numerous times, always an excellent service. I probably have most of the EMANEM / Psi CDs I need (more than a 100, that is), but I hope some way (streaming, bandcamp, etc.) will be found to have this wonderful music available to future listeners.
