nice one; haven't dug it out in a few years, but memory says it is strong.

yeah, at the time I was first discovering creative music, I didn't want to hear anything that was not made by black players (with a few exceptions). That eventually changed.

Good thread idea; I'm a little young to have been there at the outset, but when I was getting into the music in the mid-90s, the work of Zorn, Berne, Frisell et al seemed overhyped and a bit too crisp. Now, two-plus decades later I have no problem listening to that music and quite enjoy Berne, Frisell, and earlier Zorn (Parachute etc.) stuff. Even Naked City I can deal with now. John Lurie I always liked and that remains the case. My tastes are a lot wider ranging these days, and thus things like Hal Willner's projects make a lot more sense.

I'm 42 so it will be quite a while yet for me, but congrats to those who are off and able to make the most of it.

well done. Glad you pulled the trigger.

Sad news. He was something else. Also unfortunate, when I was younger he played Lawrence, Kansas City, and Minneapolis all the time. I wasn't too into that kind of music -- or didn't appreciate it -- and skipped the opportunity to see the man at work. I regret that now. I mean, $10 to see Dale play? Jeez.

Yeah, that's a good one. I wish I had more of his stuff with Eneidi. For some odd reason I neglected to purchase the Botticelli CDs when they were around (Cadence catalog regrets), and now they've gotten quite hard to find and expensive.

Admittedly I was unfamiliar with the label until getting involved with the project.

Sweet new duo/trio CD coming out on LISTEN! Foundation Apr 25, Ben Stapp + Joe Morris + Stephen Haynes. I wrote the text/notes but it is wonderful no matter what. Tuba, euphonium, guitar, cornet improvisations, quite heavy. https://sluchaj.org/sklep/ I think DMG has copies now.

Looks like Brian King Nelson to me. Gonna dive in later, seatbelts buckled.

It's quite free, so depending on your tolerance for intense stuff of that ilk, it may have been either a wise or unwise move. Herbert Noord is really good, too, and I've much enjoyed the few records I have him on.

I have everything up through Labyrinth on LP. There are maybe one or two after that I should probably revisit. Fantastic band.

There really isn't anything like El Saxofon. The others are amazing too, but man, El Saxofon... Also this looks like my kinda thing; anyone have a copy? https://www.discogs.com/Ritmo-Natural-Ritmo-Natural/release/11101836

I would say everything of Dulfer's up to and including Maine is great, but the early ones are expensive. Loevendie, it's all awesome. Stairs! is rad, sort of like Giuffre collided with Marion Brown's Porto Novo.

yeah, excellent one.

Right, we got a little off topic here -- the ESP stuff is from Montmartre, same band and tour but different venue. I have the ESPs somewhere and the sound is decent. My understanding is they were licensed from the Cherry estate and therefore legal.

Cool cover art. Would be interested to hear it.

would not surprise me. I was fine with the BGO CD and I'm fine with the Jazzman LP. That particular title is my least favorite of the bunch.

Maybe he came back for a sec just to tease the guys. I would believe KD.

don't have it but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it were lifted from another bootleg... it should be the same set as on the Free Factory CD, right? https://www.discogs.com/Don-Cherry-Quintets-Featuring-Archie-Shepp-Gato-Barbieri-Copenhagen-1963-Hilversum-1966/release/3404680

Romance without Finance needs to be drilled into one's brain. Otherwise the message is lost.

yeah, and naturally the colleges were to varying degrees complicit. follow the money.

Yes, although unlike the original, the Dream Syndicate 12" actually has liner notes on the back!

Yeah, nice record, as is this one: https://www.discogs.com/Tatsuya-Nakamura-His-Jazz-Fellows-Jazz-Fellows/release/12685256
