Jerry Garcia - Garcia - (WB/Ice Nine US green label)

Sad she's gone. Smyth was great.

Sal Mosca & Peter Ind - Solos and Duets - (Wave, UK) sublime and uncomplicated.

Dang. RIP.

Wow -- huge loss. Had been out of town and away from any computers for over a week but saw the news on twitter.

Rick Davies?

Will this concert be free or do we have to pay?

What do you guys think -- is it worth checking out his music? What are some recommended tracks?

yeah, seems pretty slapdash to me. also surely there were quite a number of great jazz bands that never recorded or properly released any music.

The one with Norman Connors? I thought it was just not very good, not actually gone...

No idea in the slightest. It was taped by the HARYOU organization; maybe WKCR has a copy? The Raretone reissue is a needle-drop I believe. That Bobby Jones rec looks cool - only have Hill Country Suite and his performances w/ Mingus.

I don't know the story but figured you meant Pearson...

Maybe Eero Koivistoinen's Wahoo...?

Me too - never seen it. This one always hurt my feelings a bit: https://www.discogs.com/Kenny-Durham-Julian-Euell-Barry-Harris-2-Al-Heath-Jazz-At-PS-175/release/7901442

I know this thread is about Hutcherson, but ep1str0phy should write more. I'd publish it.

A true giant and indeed, a kind and cool guy. Met him only once -- he played in KC -- but he was generous with his time for this young fan. Furthermore, I'm sorry to hear about your mother CJ. That's terrible.

Derek Bailey and Evan Parker - Compatibles - (Incus, UK)

yessir. I have a number of them and can vouch for those albums too.

Ah right, I think I've seen that thing before.

Drummer Avreeayl Ra was attacked and beaten by a gang of racist scum in Chicago early Saturday morning. He's likely going to be physically okay, but will be out of work recovering for some time -- and the psychological trauma from such an incident is itself tough to imagine. My friend Alissa set up a gofundme page to help out with expenses and support during this time. Please spread the word and help if you can. https://www.gofundme.com/2jrx9c4

Very sad news. I wish I'd seen her more often than I did, but was lucky to catch her perform a few times at least. Serious, beautiful player.

I agree - great record indeed. Rough-hewn but beautiful music. Now: Derek Bailey - In Whose Tradition? - (Emanem, AU)

Yeah, thanks. I thought it was something weird like this but guessed it was the label's fault. Wasn't the Archie Shepp/Philly Joe LP also a Beauchamp-Finn date?

Always liked that one; I recall that it was actually a Beauchamp/Finn date released under the AEC's aegis.

yeah, they are really good. First two chapters are all I have now -- other than the ESP and Affinity dates -- and need to pick up those others again at some point.
