I only have a reissue of the first one and a burn of "Free Psychedelic Poster Inside." There's a handsome-looking reissue box that recently came out and I may have to pick it up (along with too many other things it seems).
yeah, I agree -- it took me a while to really "hear" this music (strange considering what else I listen to) but in recent years/months I've really come to love Bird and his compatriots and these recordings are wonderful.
yeah, I was there. Then there was the dude ribbing him for being too "odd." Must've been the little blue chair and the hat. I thought his playing was strong and added a bit of lyric levity to the program.
Chris McGregor & The Castle Lager Big Band - Jazz/The African Sound - (Jazzman UK reissue)
excellent music in good sound and apparently fully legit/authorized. Well done.
