sweet - had a couple of Gaslinis on OFF and both had too much crackle (scratches) so they got purged. I really like him a lot, though. A number of his works remind me of a European, further-out George Russell.

Tyrone Washington "Train Wreck" to start with!

whole thing can be streamed here: https://sonichits.com/video/Neal_Creque/years_of_regret kinda what I remember about it -- feels to me like backing music for a powerful soloist who is not present on the record. That said, the opener is cool.

yeah, Candy Clouds and its companion album The Morning After the Third are both wonderful. I imagine the smoke was thick at both sessions!

yeah, confirmed by Joey DeFrancesco on Twitter. Bummer.

I believe that the above is true, unfortunately.

I like it a lot. Listened online, ordered the CD, should be here in a couple days. Probably should revisit my old Ingo LP of the other live "Love Supreme" and see how it holds up. I remember having fun spinning that one too, though it's been years.

me either. He's awesome.

Jeez, never even heard of that one. I have the Spring reissue. Good record though I don't necessarily understand the price original copies command.

Dulfer's third album as a leader was named after her: https://www.discogs.com/release/1344214-Hans-Dulfer-And-Ritmo-Natural-Candy-Clouds looks like that one has been reissued recently as well. It's superb.

it's included in the EMI Dulfer CD box from several years ago.

no biggie. I really like Dulfer's music from that period a lot! I guess you could even say it's the fifth as he co-led Soulbrass Inc. with Herbert Noord, and that LP was released on Stichting Jazz Werkgroep prior to El Saxofon.

Great record -- second side features Frank Wright's group + Dulfer, John Schuursma. First side is Dulfer, Jan Jacobs, and percussion/vocals. It's actually Dulfer's fourth LP as a leader.

thinking about getting this as the original is pretty impossible. How is the sound/package?

Saw Craig Harris a few times over the summer in outdoor concerts on Long Island -- he is still very much active!

Good one! Haven't dug it out in a while, must remember to do that.

That's very sad news! He was really something else. RIP.

+1

here's an interview I did with him in 2013: https://www.cliffordallen.me/interviews/ivo-perelman-the-indisputable-truth-of-process-an-interview-2013 there is a ton to choose from -- I think the collaborations with Shipp are among his best. Just got the 9CD set of Brass & Ivory Tales but haven't really chipped away at it too much.

yeah, I have the original Birth pressing somewhere around here. Great record. Haven't listened to it in a long time.

Jerome Cooper -- Bert the Cat Hans Dulfer -- the Morning After the Third Theo Loevendie -- Mr Brook

All hail!

yeah, a great and long life it seems. RIP.

100% agree. Just listen with your ears. Glad the scene is more diverse, at least in terms of participants, than it was even 20 years ago. Here's an interview with Shayna that I did years ago. https://www.cliffordallen.me/interviews/the-long-distance-bassist-an-interview-with-shayna-dulberger
