Yeah, couldn't remember and often too lazy to look things up. I have the Philips Henderson record. It's good, but my recollection of Habiliment is that it's better... and neither have "Dancing Mist," so...

There is a version of "Dancing Mist" that was either an extra cut from the Habiliment session or the one on Philips. and if anyone wants to sell me a NM Habiliment, I'm still looking!

ah, nice -- I don't have that trio stuff, but I do have this: https://www.discogs.com/Toshiko-Akiyoshi-Lullabies-For-You/release/7265817

related, I am a big fan of this one as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiko_Meets_Her_Old_Pals

did the announcement of his winning hasten his death?

It's a cool, fun, and weird record. Unique, just like Roswell Rudd.

Will dig it out, but I think just two or three. Have it on LP, excellent date indeed.

Nice one indeed, I have this music as "Blue Light" on Polydor/International.

very very tempted.

Work in an office?

Days of Wine and Roses is getting the deluxe RSD treatment this year as well.

My favorite aspects of the record are when it sounds like Central and West African percussion music with post-Coltrane flourishes. Definitely fits into the Kahil El'Zabar universe (although for whatever reason, seeing Kahil live has been way more impactful than any of the recordings). The keyboard aspects set this apart but it is still quite ritualistic/Ancient to the Future overall. I have listened to an original copy of this record and the reissue sounds punchier/richer.

pre-ordered the LP set. It's a cool record although the prices originals go for now are pretty jaw-dropping.

yeah, I pulled the RCAs out because I am needing to cull; they went back in.

Good choices. I have the other two Rod Levitt RCA albums and dig them. The Ornette is wild!

I've enjoyed Masuo's playing on Sadao Watanabe-related records.

Bummer -- and so young. Those later Talk Talk albums are excellent.

ZoKoMa isn't entirely a trio; Barre Phillips and Stu Martin round out the rhythm section on several tracks. I'll add this one:

yep. but it's not on the original AA LP.

I used to have both that and the LT, but decided "Toy Tune" is weaker than "The Collector" and jettisoned it.

rad, great player and a really nice guy to boot.

I have it as The Collector, with a different opening cut and no "Toy Tune."

Flying Nun stuff is probably as or a bit more valuable than many of the jazz records we collect.

What a life. RIP.
