Here's a computer translation: A meditation on the blues by a saxophonist and composer and a musicologist. With Blues and the Empirical Truth (tribute to the album of Oliver Nelson recorded a half century ago), Allen Lowe book a nine views and stripper on this fundamental musical genre through 52 pieces which scatter blues with the 4 corners of American popular music (and beyond) - from the cotton fields to free jazzpassing by the Church, the marching bands, brothels, ragtime, the minstrels, swing, bop, rock, pop, while making reference to musicians as diverse as Johann Strauss, Maybelle Carter, Armstrong, Ellington, Billie Holiday, Bud Powel, Max Roach, Mingus, Brubeck, David Schilkraut, Doris Day, Miles, Ayler, James Brown, Coltrane or Lou Reed! Surrounded, according to titles by pianists Lewis Porter and Matthew Shipp, trombonist Roswell Rudd, guitarists Marc Ribot and Ray Suhy, saxophonist spike Sikes, bassist Jessie Hautala, électro-batteur Jake Millett and singer Todd Hutchinsen (3 titles), Allen Lowe, which evokes Ornette to the alto (instrument to which it overrides, here or there, the tenor, C melody sax and even the guitar)shown to an overflowing imagination, unlimited culture and (Jewish) humour detonating in a triple album, with the exception perhaps of the large precursor mentioned above (The Blues and the Abstract Truth), is unique in its kind.

Art pepper on Cherokee is blazing.

Has Joe Farrell's Quartet been reissued by CTI?

The only problem with Grooves Inc is, they don't have the Anthony Braxton or George Russell.

Grooves Inc. prices look pretty, pretty good.

No Cellar Door Box in that trumpet case?

Doesn't work.

This thread certainly went to shit in short order.

For those interested in hearing Rudd in a more conventional setting, I strongly recommend "Double Crossing" by the Riccardo Fassi 4tet Featuring Roswell Rudd on Wide Sound. I got mine from Big River Books through Amazon. In a similar vein is "Eventuality: The Charlie Kohlhase Quintet Plays the Music of Roswell Rudd" with Rudd in fine form. This one's on Nada. Rudd seems to get more blowing time as a sideman than on his own records!

This is a fine disc. Eclectic, as is Rudd's MO. Some fine solos, but not enough Rudd for me. Never is.

John Barley Corn Must Die is one of those rare high school favorites that still sounds great 40 years on.

Ok. I must have this. Any sources for a US buyer? Thanks.

How about a Jimmy lyons box?

I would buy a Lacy Novus box set.

Where can I buy the Keefe Jackson? Thanks.

I've got the Vandermark 5 12 disc box "Alchemia" that I'd like to trade for Anthony Braxton's "9 Compositions (Iridium)". I'd also accept Ken Vandermark's 10 disc set, "Resonance". Thanks.

Would like some info on the blue box vol 1. Track listing, no. of discs, etc. Thanks.

Thanks guys. This search has brought me back to my high school & college days in 1970s. Blasting Ten Years After in my bedroom on my Sherwood, Dual & JBLs. Now I go to my kid's dorm hall and it's so quiet.

Who would have thought. My kid's interested in vinyl. Heretofore, he's been an ipod kind of guy. My friend gave me an old Dual turn table. I bought a Sansui 661 for $50. Looking for speaker suggestions in that price range. Thanks!

I'm a longtime Threadgill fan who never manged to hear New Air with Andrew Cyrille until recently. Snatched a live radio broadcast of Rankweil 3/19/86 (Threadgill, Fred Hpkins & Cyrille) off of dime a dozen and just listened to it yesterday. Wow!!! A side of Threadgill I'd always wanted to hear! Extended soloing. More dense, driving and rythmic than Air. Great stuff. Would love to hear Hofheim from a few days earlier.

Agree!

Thanks for the tip! I've placed my order. Hopefully it's still in stock.

Looks like most outlets are sold out of the mono box with none available until October.

Agreed!
