yeah, got the Pauer -- great -- but not the Pony. Will have to seek this music out.

Phil Diaz is listed as the vibraphonist on Mucho, Mucho (according to the back cover). Can't speak for Scottie Plays the Duke, however.

yeah, surely the signs were there but it's hard to see when in the middle of things, even from the outside. I suppose it wasn't an autoerotic mistake? Anyway, this is an excellent primer and eulogy: http://pitchfork.com/features/afterword/10080-why-soundgardens-chris-cornell-was-more-than-just-a-grunge-frontman/

Never bothered w/ Audioslave myself -- guess Cornell committed suicide and that is especially sad.

This exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum looks cool -- hope to get over there soon: https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/we_wanted_a_revolution and a +1 for the NYC Jazz Record, which has been keeping my words in print for some reason or another for quite a few years now...

Sad news -- early Soundgarden was pretty tight and he was a hell of a vocalist. RIP. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/18/arts/music/chris-cornell-dead-soundgarden.html

yeah, I think I've had a couple ORTF-stamped records like that. I've definitely had deletion punches through the label/record as well. Probably a very quick and direct process!

He does look like a kid there, and a bit like a member of Big Star or The Replacements!

It's a great set. The music is sublime.

Szwed.

yeah, I first became aware of him on Out There with Mr. Dolphy. One can be assured that his tone and time will shine through on any session he took part in.

ooh, I have that somewhere... fine later appearance of Mr. Moncur (III). Now: Hannibal and the Sunrise Orchestra -- The Light -- (Baystate, JP wlp)

Codeine rules!

the pressing on the original is pretty rough from what I recall. I should probably buy the reissue.

I'm not sure I can go this year, but it looks like the year to go. Congrats.

Ha! I'm not always sure that people at Archive.org vet what's being thrown up there (Grateful Dead notwithstanding).

yeah, well you figure a couple bottles of $500 wine a day... it's not SO bad... !!

I assume people spending that kind of money do not either know or care if something is a fake. EBay also won't take that stuff down as they stand to make quite a bit of money.

Seems like all sides are pretty dubious and/or f'ed.

I've heard stories about the estate being tough to work with, if not impossible. I'd like to hear more Rivers archival material but the prospects seem unlikely. Issuing a 1960s recording where he appeared as a sideman proved quite daunting for both a label and bandleader and unfortunately had to be dropped. It's too bad.

He is on Hatfield & The North's "Rotters Club" as well, which is an all-around excellent album.
