It kinda already exists in the form of the NoBusiness Sam Rivers live series, but I suppose you are probably looking toward the albums on Fluid, Red, Vedette, Circle, Horo, Black Saint, Tomato, Impulse, and ECM.

I know Dexter's BN LPs remain sought-after, but I wonder whether his playing catches the ear of current/newer jazz buyers the way that, say, Joe Henderson does? My guess is no, but it's their loss...

I don't think so, but I'm not a Dexpert.

Dexter BNs would be a no-brainer at this point. I'd buy one to plug some holes.

Yes, sorry, was exhausted last night -- we'll get started probably closer to 7.

This is forthcoming soon and I'm curious to read it. I know a bio was out ~15 years ago, and I probably should give that one a read as well. That was before her recent bump in popularity, exhibition in LA, etc.. https://www.jazztimes.com/reviews/books/book-review-cosmic-music-the-life-art-and-transcendence-of-alice-coltrane/?v=0b3b97fa6688 For anyone in the Hudson Valley, there'll be a book reading/signing co-presented by Tubby's and Rough Draft Books on Thursday, April 2 (FREE). I'll play some relevant recordings before and after. Hope to see you there, and also feel free to chime in with thoughts on the volume/s if you have any.

Yes! I have these musicians listed for March 21: †Santo "Mr. Tailgate" Pecora, 1902-84 †Hank D’Amico, 1915-65 †Sir Charles Thompson, 1918-2016 †Masaru Imada, 1932-2025 Mike Westbrook, b. 1936 †Herbert Joos, 1940-2019 Amina Claudine Myers, b. 1942 J.T. Bates, b. 1975

yeah, everything is fine -- nothing out of the ordinary, apparently. I am 49 and should have gotten my first one a few years ago, so I was a little concerned, but "all's clear." Thanks.

home recovering from a colonoscopy and listening to: Kees Hazevoet - Pleasure One - (Peace, NL)

don't have that one. Apparently it is a 7".

that would have been really interesting...

The Philips LPs are great and most have been reissued on CD. Possibly a better use of one's funds.

I too grabbed that Mujician set. I think I have the first disc/performance as a FLAC somewhere (inconstant sol) but the other two discs were new to me. Excellent group, and prolific, though I've never heard a set I didn't like.

agreed. Once Zoot clicked for me, he never let up.

Ah, that's too bad, but what a life!

Matthew Shipp -- specifically influenced by Sal Mosca and Warne Marsh. I realize Matt has been on the scene for quite a while, but he still champions that music.

yep. and I agree with all that Karl has to say. It's not revelatory music but it is very good.

that's the one I am most familiar with.

okay, that part seems line a joke, but the broader query is more serious.

I wouldn't consider a Japanese musician "white." Doubt the original intent of the thread was to fuck with us, given Allen's decades-long exploration of ethnic/cultural identity in his work.

Yeah, I have little interest in the book to be honest. The few reviews I've read aren't particularly inspiring.

this has been corroborated!

Looking up Oscar Dennard's Tangier recording, I found this: https://africasacountry.com/2017/10/tangiers-jazzmen-and-their-phantom-producer

yes, doesn't he still spend a lot of time in SA?

Yusef Lateef taught in Nigeria in the early 80s, resulting in two albums' worth of material. Barney Wilen documented and made field recordings while traveling in north central Africa in 1969-70, also resulting in two albums of material. Lester Bowie lived in Nigeria with Fela Kuti and performed in Fela's band. Sun Ra and his band were at FESTAC 1977 (Lagos) and also performed in Egypt. Max Roach was at FESTAC too, I believe. Archie Shepp and his band were at the Pan-African Cultural Festival in 1969, and I know that was very important for him, Burrell, Moncur, Thornton, Silva, and Murray.
