oh yes, can't forget that one!

Charles Sullivan -- Genesis -- (Nadja-Trio, JP) Dawan Muhammad -- Deep Stream -- (Evidence Artistic Records, US)

Sonny Greenwich -- The Music of... -- (Radio Canada International, CA)

a bit later on, the pianist/composer Jill McManus was in an all-woman band that I think was pretty well-regarded. This would've been in the mid 60s IIRC.

Hüseyin Ertunç Trio -- Musikî -- (Intex, USA orig) great record w/ Michael Cosmic and Phill Musra. Bittersweet as I just got the news of Hüseyin's departure at 71.

Jack, Ginger, and some guy on guitar.

Joe Perry is in Aerosmith.

yeah, had a max word count so that's about the best I could do given the space. Thanks!

Modern Art Trio -- s/t -- (Vedette, IT)

Träden -- s/t -- (Subliminal Sounds, SWE)

yep! I paid $80 for a clean copy not all that long ago, in fact.

YMMV. I was in that camp too until the other day.

Having revisited some 80s AEC material at a friend's house recently, I was reminded of how GOOD they were at that time. Maybe my tastes have changed or I've heard more music in the ensuing 20 years, but those ECMs really stand the test of time as much (if not more than) the earlier work. The box is a great deal; too bad I have most of the CD-era stuff already...

hadn't realized he passed -- thanks for the update.

yeah, been looking for the Japanese version as well -- I've seen it a few times, but always a bit more abused than I'd like at the prices commanded.

Cool cube. Lotta fantastic music.

Ha -- I don't think the BLUES map was brought up. He's from Lovejoy, IL which is on the mappity map as far as I know.

Had the great pleasure of seeing him a number of times, both solo and with ensembles. Interviewing him -- very early in my musician-interviewing days -- was amazing, as he was very kind and VERY serious but also hiLARIous. Rest in peace, Bluiett, and thanks.

The LP version of the Oliver Jackson abounds here in NYC; there are dead/old stock copies that should run you about five bucks.

It's an excellent album though admittedly I haven't had it on deck in ages. Will listen and report back, as Carter is very easily identifiable. I assume one could ask Peter Warren as he's alive and well.

nasty way to go: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/8477603/jerry-gonzalez-dies-trumpeter-dead recently picked up some live Fort Apache cassettes which I'm having digitized. Was hoping to connect with him about the material, but...

oh man, would be curious because who doesn't love a little gossip?

yeah, that's probably the best one (or at least my favorite). Not sure if he's still active.

yeah, few other things I can think of are Ken Hyder's Talisker records and some of Surman's tunes.
