I missed it and am curious!

yeah, all four of those TOK records are excellent.

Takase and Sato are awesome -- and in the spirit of the thread, I guess I don't find them all that overlooked (same for Masabumi Kikuchi, though he's a bigger name). I'll also throw out Yosuke Yamashita, Takashi Kako, Hideo Ichikawa, and Shoji Aketagawa.

I'd add Takehiro Honda to the above description too.

I did buy a nice Japanese Overseas copy of this album (with different cover art than the US Inner City release) and it's a fun little record. Not desert island material by any means, but I"m glad it exists, fleshing out the ensemble take of "I Should Care" on the B side of Coral Rock.

yup

yes, bassist Ali Jackson is the father of drummer Ali Jackson. Not sure what he was doing in 1964 but he worked with Coltrane and Yusef Lateef in the 50s.

The tapes for Variations on a Blue Line may have been lost. I've had great luck w/ CvsD but it is true that not every source has been audiophile. Such is life. Forthcoming I noticed Roy Ashbury and Larry Stabbins' "Fire Without Bricks" (Bead Records). Corbett said he was hoping to do a number of Bead releases that never saw reissue. There are also two Bead cassettes which I will encourage him to investigate reissuing. Graves-Pullen duos are also coming out sometime soon I believe.

Yep. He was also a saxophonist and co-led a group with Ed Summerlin.

YUP.

Wow, RIP -- not very old either.

The NYAQ recordings from Four Days In December are part of the Call It Art box on Triple Point. I'd also check out Dixonia if you haven't yet. Much useful information there.

that's a very trollish comment. Why throw feminism under the bus?

I have often found Duke Jordan's playing to be a bit 'cold,' whereas I hear a lot of warmth in Clark. But mechanically I can hear what Allen is saying.

I actually agree with this. That said, while many musicians have a lot to teach, quite a few do not respect academia and view this as just another gig (albeit one that pays better/more consistently). If you are screwing students, you are not there to educate, no matter what your field is.

Yeah, and not to mention he's already been accused of misconduct (which more than likely is true).

Mods: feel free to move to Misc. Music if it doesn't fit in this subforum. Osby seems like creme asshole.

not sure why, but I did change the link just in case it doesn't work for others.

Bud Powell -- Bouncing with Bud -- (Delmark stereo 60s reissue of the Sonet original)

Art Ensemble of Chicago -- Les Stances a Sophie -- (Nessa)

Crime -- Hate Us Or Love Us We Don't Give A Fuck -- (Planet Pimp, legit reissue of Terminal Boredom bootleg)

Yes, I have this and it's superb.

Just to bring this full circle, I got quite a look at old Wynston on the cover of Downbeat (which arrived in my mailbox today. Somehow I get a free subscription).
