Re-issue label is 'pushing it' for Jeanne Dielman -- they are bootlegs.

John & Beverley Martin -- The Road to Ruin -- (Warner Bros., US pressing)

just as an FYI, and it's tough to navigate sometimes as a new forum member, but we do have a search function. Let myself or one of the moderators know if you have trouble using it. Here's one such thread...

aha, so it is in the film? Thanks!

Yeah, that's true re: Faithfull, and I cannot recall which one either. There's a restored print that I saw screened at Anthology Film Archives a year or two ago -- it's ridiculous (being a Living Theater endeavor) but enjoyable. Chappaqua -- and I do enjoy some experimental film -- is just bad.

Art Ensemble of Chicago "Les Stances a Sophie" is the obvious choice for me as a stand-alone soundtrack. The Albert Ayler Quartet + John Tchicai and Roswell Rudd (on loan from the NY Art Quartet) also made some incredible music for the Michael Snow film "New York Eye And Ear Control, and it's quite stunning in the context of Snow's visual work as well. I did see Chappaqua (which is terrible) reset with Ornette's music rather than Ravi Shankar's, and it was certainly made more memorable as a result. I do love "Chappaqua Suite." And "Who's Crazy" is pretty fun as well. Another unused soundtrack (IIRC -- never saw the film) that's quite wonderful is Marion Brown's "Le Temps Fou." Oh, and (duh), Miles' music in Ascenseur is quite strong -- really dig that film too. Less into watching Liaisons Dangereuses but the recently released Monk set is super.

"I've tried every drug -- moon rocks, paper towel dispensers, titanium -- you name it!"

He does not seem like a likable (or very interesting) person, though some of his early work in the jazz idiom I do enjoy.

I don't remember these edits; should probably be listening more carefully.

Hope it was recorded -- what an amazing concert. It was broken up into three parts: Matthew solo (a chunky, angular, but swinging exposition); the Shipp Trio (where NTB's dry, loose, but utterly 'on' approach really shined); and the quartet with Roscoe, who began with a lengthy solo sopranino performance before the group entered and he switched to alto. Much of this was very dense, but absolutely gorgeous, almost as though Mitchell presented a Richard Serra sculpture that the rest of the art-room had to work its way around and into. It was really something else.

Will be there and looking so forward to it!

yeah, I would especially hope there's more from the first 20 years in the vaults... someone's vaults, anyway.

I've heard it but don't have it. Good one!

what a relief!

whew!

Ah, dang -- yeah, he struggled with heroin addiction earlier in life, and it doesn't surprise me that sobriety was a struggle.

would have loved to stock up on Jurgen Karg LPs!

Some ESPs in the later years, but never had a quad hookup to really mess with -- and quad or no, the sound was murky on ESPs quite often.

Just Wailin' on New Jazz is awesome, albeit more of a Waldron-style blowing session. The Village Gate records on Atlantic are excellent, as is the later stuff felser mentions w/ Ayers + Sharrock (Memphis Underground in particular).

There were four, all purchased within about a week in 1997: Joe Henderson "Page One," John Coltrane "Expression," Albert Ayler "Bells," and Eric Dolphy "Out To Lunch." Needless to say, I was absolutely off the deep end from the word 'go.' Ayler and Dolphy hit me the hardest at that time. That is probably no surprise.

ooh, nice one! now: Siegfried Kessler, Barre Phillips, Steve McCall -- Live at the Gill's Club -- (Futura, FR orig)

Archie Shepp -- A Sea of Faces -- (Black Saint, IT)

^ yeah, that record is fantastic and very prescient.

yeah, it did well I assume! Took me a while to grab it because I had most of the music already, but was glad to hear the Blackwell session and the Wilbur Ware. The Ed Blackwell album is absolutely great.
