    Pretty sure Blobel and everything associated with him is pretty sketchy. He may be licensing some things from Gebers but I'd be surprised...
  2. clifford_thornton
    yeah, I would like to get that duo. It'd be great if someday all the Schoof Quintett records with AvS were reissued.

    Oleo, My Funny Valentine, Nature Boy, and one that is escaping me right now.
  4. clifford_thornton
    yeah someone must've found a couple boxes of them in a warehouse or something.

    Smoke is good. So titled because of what was going down before, during, and after the session...

    a/l/l was a short-lived FMP subsidiary and their discs are hard to find. I'm not surprised we haven't talked about it much if at all. Maybe it was mentioned in the Funny Rat thread.

    It's a split LP from 1970 - part of that series "The Best Players in Japan." I'd never seen a copy before and the personnel aren't listed on the record. The Mine side is quartet so my guess is that Masahiro Kikuchi, Yoshiro Suzuki and Hiroshi Murakami are the rhythm section.

    Sadao Watanabe & Kosuke Mine - Alto Sax Vol. 1 - (Toshiba, JP) Kosuke side - quite excellent.
  9. clifford_thornton
    Nick Brignola/Pepper Adams - Baritone Madness - (Beehive) dunno what Iverson's problem is.
  10. clifford_thornton
    still could happen.
  11. clifford_thornton
    I wouldn't pan it - definitely solid, but not a record I return to all that much. Maybe tonight will be the night!

    The Lasha was supposed to happen as a legit 2 CD set of all the Birdseye recordings, but the reissuing label ran out of money. Too bad.

    Universe had some interesting releases. I'd forgotten that the De Graaff-Vennik Quartet had a record on that label too.
  14. clifford_thornton
    The only Vennik-de Graaff LP I have is Minor Moods from Past and Present, which I think is the first one. Nice hand-screened thin cover with mimeographed inserts. I'd like to get that one on BASF as well, but it's tough to find in clean condition.

    Allen Lowe - For Poor B.B. and Others... - (Fairhaven)
  16. clifford_thornton
    yeah, looks like it. Need to get Kanguru again - used to have a VG copy and sold it in the move. Actually wasn't the worst-playing VG I've encountered.
  17. clifford_thornton
    ^ nice one. Now: ESG - Come Away With ESG - (99 Records orig)
  18. clifford_thornton
    Had a CDR of that Chiasson thing at one point - I remember it being good but haven't heard it in a while.
  19. clifford_thornton
    In light of the recent Ellington disc, I'm sorta surprised you didn't call it "To Allen"
  20. clifford_thornton
    Ha, wow. I never thought of myself as a 'cat,' don't know about the rest of y'all.
  21. clifford_thornton
    yeah, that record is really good. I don't get Malaby. I heard him in 2005 and he was certainly strong, but... never lost any sleep over his musicianship or recordings.
  22. clifford_thornton
    Haven't heard it, but the Horo by comparison is balanced - lengthy solos but invigorating ensemble playing as well (there are overdubs but I think the concepts are well-orchestrated). Good stuff.
  23. clifford_thornton
    yeah, that's a neat record - glad to have a copy as well. I think it was quite cheap from Dusty Groove (they usually mark down the more 'out' stuff). Also, apparently this exists: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/clovisbordeaux

    Dang. RIP.
  25. clifford_thornton
    I'm seeing reports that he has passed, but haven't seen official confirmation (Wiki is not official IMO). Anybody? Would be a shame if true.
