yeah that's the best part of that Levitts LP.

Milford Graves -- Meditation Among Us -- (Kitty, JP) one of my favorites in his discography and very well recorded. RIP.

So sad to hear this -- he was a giant & I felt lucky to have seen him play a bunch, though never got to speak with him. Blasting his records tonight. RIP.

yeah, I think so. indeed, back liner note text from the LP.

Damn! What a bummer.

Nice. I'm so glad I had the chance to see him play in concert.

ah wow. yeah, the LP is very hard to come by.

Urge is one of my favorites too. I think I have pretty much everything except for Booker & Brass, which I could never fully appreciate though I should try again... and welcome to the board, BlueSpirits.

CJ, glad you are safe and that the tangible things are/will be sorted eventually. Unimaginable experience, though, and I share all condolences for the loss of your feline family and your mother's ashes. Thanks for checking in and get as much rest as you can.

Syd Barrett -- Opel -- (Capitol, US)

If anybody needs these and is in the US, Record Grouch in Greenpoint, Brooklyn has stock on both sets. Do not order through Discogs gougers!

Pearls Before Swine -- One Nation Underground -- (ESP-Disk) one of my all time favorite records

Konkan Dance is really super. I have the old Qbico boot LP. Sounds good enough for me.

Mine just arrived in the mail today -- looking forward to carving out some digging-in time.

wholeheartedly agree. I work for Robert Wilson, the theater director and visual artist, and he has collaborated with Gaga. Hence I have a soft spot for her. She seems like a genuine person. Sad news about Bennett. Alzheimer's is bad stuff.

That LP with Sessions looks interesting -- starts off with a Ra cover, so hey.

apparently some copies of the LP were pressed with the same music on both sides, so keep your eyes out for that defect.

plosin dot com is working for me right now, no problem.

too bad. Legendary.

nah, they are done.

It's good. Brief, but good. The one that Porter reissued years ago is more fleshed out. I think it has recently been reissued on LP as well.

ditto.

Can't see buying the Henderson; Morgan, maybe, just because I have a few holes in the LP collection and the alternates would be nice to have (ditto Shorter, but...). I'd much rather see them do Bill Barron, even though I have all that material already, just because. And various Uptown material too, whew. Of course I have dream sets that very few people would buy (mining the Bill Dixon Bennington tapes, for example). But Mosaic may no longer be the model/answer for what many of us are after, and with CDs not selling like they used to, it seems unsustainable.

yeah, I still need the 45 and the first LP on New Jazz as well. Sorted otherwise, tremendous player.

HA!
