I agree.

Correct on the tune but yeah, Lacy's not on it himself. I really like #2 as well. The whole record it's from is really something, though the leader is pretty obscure even for me!

I think it's in Life Magazine, rather than DB: https://books.google.com/books?id=Y1AEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA12&lpg=PA12&dq=%22They+should+make+him+an+astronaut+and+lose+his+ass%22&source=bl&ots=hwB8faSFMJ&sig=T-BriIGpWYytTQyypd-jG5W9Nw4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid2vrj5tbKAhUD52MKHVOGBkAQ6AEIKDAC#v=onepage&q=%22They%20should%20make%20him%20an%20astronaut%20and%20lose%20his%20ass%22&f=false

11 is 'Think On Me' (issued on this LP under a slightly different title), but it's not from a Blue Note record. The guitarist is of a somewhat earlier generation than Sco or Fiuczynski. 1 was released before IASW came out and is not American, but I like your thinking on these. I haven't encountered the bassist on 6 elsewhere, and agree that he sounds really good. Glad you like 7. The entire record it's from is excellent and certainly of its era.

They pay for manufacturing and distribution. My understanding is that the artists pay for the recording and sideman fees, from Braxton on down to Heinz Geisser.

Sweet! I can't wait to hear this.

I think this is a pretty good primer and he himself wouldn't force anyone else to try and keep up with all of his releases. http://cliffordallen.blogspot.com/2013/06/ivo-perelman-indisputable-truth-of.html

yeah that's a nice one.

Yes, it is this release: https://www.discogs.com/Philly-Joe-Jones-Round-Midnight/release/2747920

Ha, yep. It's a really strong album too.

Yessir. Missed your earlier post. He kinda gave it away but I doubt anyone would have figured it out otherwise! It's "H.W." from For Poor B.B. and Others, with Bob Neloms on piano.

Nope.

I can send later.

I like the fact that Jim went with a non-jazz approach. I didn't know that was an option!

Online only Tom. I'll take it down once the tracks and their sources are identified. If anyone needs MP3s I can send 'em. Yup, it is Cables' tune but not a Chico Hamilton group. Definitely on the right track with Company but not those particular musicians. Nope, not Cobb/Davis. The organist is indeed excellent and gets more of a spotlight on the rest of the album.

Thanks Jim - yeah, all of the actual players remain as yet obscured but I'm glad you took the time. And I agree, not everything here is "great" but it's all of interest to me, either historically or musically, or both. + sorry again for the poor quality of the MP3s. I don't generally rip my LPs and sorta had to scramble for a solution. Better solution is forthcoming but this'll at least get the job done for the BFT project. Oh and on Track 4 you got the country right, Jim. The band is at least American and there is an oblique Murray connection to the tenorist. 1, not Tchicai but getting warmer.

Haha, it wasn't intended to be, but it's hard to find things that aren't well known among the organissimo community, not to mention that most of my CDs are in boxes and have been since I moved 4 years ago! And although Homefromtheforest probably has and knows all of these albums intimately, maybe he won't spill the beans on the first day!

Hello all, I've uploaded BFT 152 to SoundCloud for streaming. There are 12 tracks in all and they reflect my tastes, which as you probably know veer from the fairly straight-ahead to the abrasive and downright odd. These are all taken from original jazz/improvisation LPs in nice condition, though there are the occasional pops (most of my CDs are in boxes and not too accessible). I used a friend's MP3 turntable so I would not call these "audiophile" rips, but they do at least serve the purpose for listening and examination. Feel free to start listening and start posting on or slightly before November 1. I'll do my best to comment and nudge people though my schedule is fairly busy. And please, of course, let me know if you have difficulty streaming and I can send the MP3s directly.

If only you could get it for that low of a price.

Right you are about Lacy. Stalks is a truly amazing record - actually, all those 1975 Japanese tour LPs are essential. There's no "Clinker" in the bunch that he did for Hat Art/Hat Hut.

Makes sense to me. All of those bands are great - especially love Swell Maps (and much of Sudden's post-Maps work).

Intervall is an amazing record. I don't have the Dragon or Odeon LPs but shall pick them up someday. He reminds me of a Swedish Bill Barron or something along those lines.

Alexander "Skip" Spence - Oar - (Columbia, US stereo orig)

For sure. He was formerly known as Richard Youngstein and played with Paul Bley, Peter Ivers, Perry Robinson, Burton Greene and others. Left music and became a substance abuse counselor in LA (with a side trip to Kansas City where he, I think, worked at KCAI).

The Noah Young is definitely good. Was sad when he passed last year -- interesting guy, seemed very nice.
