    It was a Douglas session that was only assembled and rehearsed: Colbeck, Lancaster, Sharrock, Burrell, Sirone and Elvin Jones. No recording known. Case closed I guess.

    That is totally cool.
  3. clifford_thornton
    Thanks. That is a help.

    Piano Space rules, as do the Zukofsky/Cage collaborations. the Louis Zukofsky scholarship issue is a bummer though.

    Does anyone have a date of departure? The NYC Jazz Record will want to run an obit.

    Oliver Nelson -- Blues and the Abstract Truth -- (Impulse, 2nd cover late 60s stereo)

    The best one is naturally the most impossible to find: Til Vigdis. Hope someone reissues it.

    ah, that's too bad. My aunt was friends with him -- I wonder if she knows.

    Superb versions of Rollins' "Airegin" and "Oleo" on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Complete_Quartets_with_Sonny_Clark (Grant Green-related)

    Hawley Adams Currens + J.P. Richards -- Many Years of Love to You -- (Tiwa, US) pretty fine improvised violin/vibes-percussion duos and trios (w/ flute) out of San Francisco.

    I commented on YT but doubt the original video poster will fix it or re-up it with accurate info.

    Yes, it's Collier. That's Harry Beckett all right, from the first bar. Definitely "Aberdeen Angus" as well. Very interesting to hear Cowell in this context. Not exactly perfect but certainly no slouch.

    I like Leapin' and Lopin' a lot, as well as the quartets with GG. My Conception is also excellent. Probably haven't spun Cool Struttin' in 10 years or more... never really got all that into it actually and can't figure out its iconic status.

    Jimmy Heath -- Swamp Seed -- (Riverside, US mono)
  15. clifford_thornton
    Whoa. I hadn't heard but am glad he's ok.
  16. clifford_thornton
    that's one I don't have.

    Many people can't given the 2008 financial crisis, which wiped out a lot of people's 401k and savings/investments here in the States.

    Swell Maps -- Jane from Occupied Europe -- (Rough Trade/Rather UK orig) haven't spun this in years, but it still holds up mightily...
  19. clifford_thornton
    you could try getting in touch with Tomeka directly.

    Ah, next time! thanks for reading... I didn't catch the movies though some of them I had seen already, and thus hit Vision on Monday night for the first toe-dip. Haven't been to DC in ages but need to get back down there. Barnett Newman is a favorite.

    Terumasa Hino -- Journey to Air -- (Love, JP orig) Hino brothers directing a free orchestra with Liebman, Yellin, Dara, Holland, Moses, Garson et al. Excellent.

    there's also the inherent assumption on the label's part that all jazz musicians or buyers are straight dudes.
  23. clifford_thornton
    Not my cuppa music and the covers are probably designed to elicit a response, and for that they work well -- nobody is forgetting the name of Venus Records as a result of their nudes. Not offended but also not all that interested.
  24. clifford_thornton
    Pepper Adams -- Plays the Compositions of Charlie Mingus -- (Workshop Jazz, US stereo orig)
  25. clifford_thornton
    yeah mine has that too. I'll try to do a good scan of the booklet at some point.
