    Jim Cullum would get my vote. Saw him & his band in San Antonio, where he had a club. Definitely seemed like a solid group of players that he brought together. https://www.tpr.org/arts-culture/2019-08-11/jim-cullum-jr-jazz-band-leader-and-cornetist-dies-at-77?_amp=true

    Backordered copy just arrived; I was glad to see several shows represented that give me fond memories.

    yeah, Bob Bruno of Noah Howard fame as well. Met him once, seems like a sweet guy.

    Very interesting. I too am very into the playing of Yamashita and Akiyoshi.
  6. clifford_thornton
    that's awesome!
  7. clifford_thornton
    Yup, first few cuts on disc two.

    good lord... I knew about the Birdland aspect, but not the other messiness.
  9. clifford_thornton
    yeah, wasn't aware of that one until yesterday. Looks great.

    Looks like there is a fair amount of overlap between these Chant du Monde boxes and the Pablo box (which I have and love). It would be nice to have this stuff without buying part of it twice!

    Had this as Spanish Steps and let it go in a cull; certainly thought it was the best among the small amount of Hawes vinyl in the racks, none of which I kept. Maybe due for a reassessment.

    I used to have the United States of America as well as The American Metaphysical Circus on LP... interesting, though at the time they didn't really take. It seems line his more curious endeavors are "off the record(s)," so to speak. RIP.

    👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    I have the CD box but should get that again, just for the accessibility of LP sides. It is a great set.

    Thanks for this writeup; it puts the album in a little more context. Maybe someday we'll get to hear it!

    https://www.theideasletter.org/essay/a-pure-act-in-a-dirty-world/ I think this is a great interview and really stands out... enjoy! And IIRC there isn't a Matthew Shipp corner; maybe I'm a bit biased to start one, but someone should.

    Will definitely check this out. I have not met Tad though we live in the same town... curious.

    a friend was in your shoes and eventually was given the box and book, so it does happen!

    I have never heard this record, though I've seen it around. Might give it a try one day.

    👍🏼👍🏼 Also born today: Sonny Red, John Ore, Walter Booker, and Ronnie Boykins.

    Hard to process these kinds of senseless acts. Their son was likely in some sort of severe dissociative state and I can't imagine he was in his right mind. Such a terrible tragedy indeed. RIP.

    will grip if US sellers stock this; I have a digital promo someplace. It is a pretty neat set.

    guess if you meet Gene & are in politics, the future is what it is!
  24. clifford_thornton
    Thanks! That's a great example.
  25. clifford_thornton
    yep, have all of these on LP or Cd, and they're fantastic indeed.
