    Steve Lacy

    I've got it. It's good.

    One of my favorites. Also that website seems pretty out of date (the guestbook doesn't work, and Denis' 70th birthday would have been in 2003). Too bad as I'd buy one of those t-shirts in a heartbeat.

    Wow. I must say that when the CD set of the Village Gate recordings was released a couple years back, the music's place in the annals of favorites was confirmed big time. One of the greatest improvisers ever.

    I always assumed TMS Records was the custom pressing plant and not Smith's label.

    Frank Zappa

    Mats Gustafsson is convening an ensemble to perform Hidros ZAP, a reimagining of the music of Frank Zappa, at this year's festival in Sardinia. http://www.santannarresijazz.it/wordpress/hidroszap-direct-by-mats-gustafsson/ http://www.santannarresijazz.it/wordpress/

    Now: Eddie Bert - Encore - (Savoy, DG red label) fine, fine stuff with Klook, Joe Puma, J.R. Monterose and others.

    Ah, yeah I've never run into a copy of the silk screen original, though I've heard of its existence. Spoke too soon on this one, as the second side is pretty crackly. Oh well. There's always the Tzadik CD reissue...

    Leo Smith - Creative Music -1 - (Kabell, US) I've struggled over the years to find a quiet-enough sounding copy of this wonderful solo trumpet, flute and percussion LP. Just bought another that seems to be about as good as one could get.
  9. clifford_thornton
    Exactly. Now: Pak Yan Lau/Chris Corsano - Asbestos & Little Rain - (Les Albums Claus, BE)

    ^ great record. Perhaps a little more rugged -- and in part due to the recording quality -- than Metamorphosis, at least in my opinion.
  11. clifford_thornton
    Gato Barbieri & Dollar Brand - Confluence - (Freedom UK) Nice-sounding pressing that has had and will have to do until I get my hands on the Togetherness original. Quite enjoyable duets from 1968.
  12. clifford_thornton
    still have my old Polydor LP as well -- one will eventually have to go, but right now they're sharing a berth.
  13. clifford_thornton
    John Stevens - Spontaneous Music Ensemble - (Marmalade, UK orig) one of my favorites. The new CD reissue does it even better by adding two further cuts.
  14. clifford_thornton
    ^ Perfect time of year for it
  15. clifford_thornton
    The Soft Machine - s/t - (Probe, US spinning-wheel orig)
  16. clifford_thornton
    Jerry Garcia - Garcia - (WB/Ice Nine US green label)
  17. clifford_thornton
    Sad she's gone. Smyth was great.
  18. clifford_thornton
    Sal Mosca & Peter Ind - Solos and Duets - (Wave, UK) sublime and uncomplicated.
  19. clifford_thornton
    Dang. RIP.
  20. clifford_thornton
    Wow -- huge loss. Had been out of town and away from any computers for over a week but saw the news on twitter.
  21. clifford_thornton
    Rick Davies?
  22. clifford_thornton
    Will this concert be free or do we have to pay?
  23. clifford_thornton
    What do you guys think -- is it worth checking out his music? What are some recommended tracks?
  24. clifford_thornton
    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.
  25. clifford_thornton
    The one with Norman Connors? I thought it was just not very good, not actually gone...
