Why do you assume this was of much importance to Kuhn at all? Was working for Trane as a pianist in 1960 supposed to be a dream job and career-defining experience for everybody?

I listened to it twice, I thought it was pretty boring and the compositions sounded like something a conservatory student would write for a grade. I doggedly attend concerts of young composers here in Vienna. 90% of the time the music would be labored crap, which sounds very much like this. But 10% of the time there would be something excellent, sounding MUCH better than this.

The Ayler disc mentioned that it is released by permission of the Ayler estate. I wonder what sources were used for the remastering.

I'll be perfectly content to have this one on Spotify.

Bravo ECM for making these long OOP albums available for streaming. That's the way to do it. Some interesting stuff here.

Good stuff.

Another nice one is Mike Nock's Trio "Not We But One" on Naxos: https://www.discogs.com/Mike-Nock-Trio-Not-We-But-One/release/4153597 . Cox is very prominent here. I think the drummer Tony Reedus is needlessly hyperactive here, but it's a nice record nonetheless. I have Cox's solo on Sketch. Haven't listened to it in ages, but I do remember finding it good but not great. The sound is excellent, but does not have the range of ideas of the best solo bass records (like the ones from Barre Phillips or Joelle Leandre or Mark Dresser or Paul Rogers), IMHO.

Listening to this one. Very nice. And this organ has such a focused sound.

Another winner from another timbre label:

ZYX: https://www.discogs.com/Art-Pepper-The-Complete-Galaxy-Recordings/release/10052370 I remember getting this box around 2002-03, it was very cheap indeed.

Excellent de-romanticized version of Messiaen's "Quatuor pour la fin du temps", as well as a very strong (if too Feldmanesque) work by Linda Catlin Smith from this brand new release on another timbre label: http://www.anothertimbre.com/messiaen.html

Yes, a lot of nice textures on this one.

This is a good one:

Well, it's listed as 2019 release on the orange sidebar. Whatever.

This is a reissue by Outhere, the owner of the Hat Hut back catalog. And this disc is very much so-so.

Both great, of course. Once you go on a Bach binge it's hard to switch to something else.

The label (Sketch) is defunct for a long time now, but used copies can be easily found. It's also recorded very well.

Steve Lacy - Anthony Cox - Daniel Humair "Work" on Sketch is a phenomenal record. Everybody shines.

This is great stuff.

Finally listened to this one. It's very good.

Listened to the Aurora trio and the solo set on Spotify. Great stuff, and the sound quality is excellent.

Nice organ sound.
