I've thought, typed, deleted, typed and deleted again thoughts about this all afternoon - I actually didn't hear the news until around lunchtime for whatever reason - and it's just incomprehensible and fucked.

ha, yeah - "hold on, I'ma let you finish, but Joe Henderson In Concert on Japanese Philips is one of the best Joe Henderson records of all time!"

Listening to him with Andrew Hill and/or Kenny Dorham puts those particular dates above the rest for me.

See that and raise you Gate.

I think so, though Blue Gene Tyranny is also playing that night. Weighing celebrating the passing of a favorite or going to see someone living whose music I also adore is a tough choice.

Cut Hands is a far better musical experience than Whitehouse, at least to me and at this point in time.

I'm sure they're true but it's still a solid record. Sometimes sick bastards make worthwhile music. Now: Blind Blake - Bootleg Rum Dum Blues 1926-1930 - (Biograph)

John Phillips - Wolf King of L.A. - (ABC Dunhill)

good that people who are curious about his music bought some, though sad in light of recent events that it didn't happen earlier.

I was just thinking about those guys the other day. "Born in the USA" came on at a lunch place and I remarked to my girlfriend that I heard "Born in East LA" before I heard the Springsteen original!

ah, too bad.

Amazon is showing 1-3 weeks on this thing (which I was all set to grab for pops via Amazon Prime for Father's Day). Dusty Groove has not had it for sale at all. I may have missed the boat, but was this here and gone or has it been delayed slightly? I see third-party sellers seem to have copies but am not sure whether they "really" have it.

1999-2002.

Rad. Yeah that'd be me.

Eager to hear this.

I thought Wood Flute Songs was incredibly boring. Really love Parker's playing but I am not sure his group concept is where I'm at these days - a lot of it is probably due to Drake, whom I'm not particularly into 80% of the time (but that other 20% can be sublime).

Interesting... This is not the original cover pic (nor the CD version). The original LP version had a white woman, and so did the different CD offer yet another white woman.

ooh, I need to get that.

Didn't realize the CD was so hard to come by - the LP is pretty easy to find, and excellent indeed.

Would like to hear that Danny Davis - it's rare!

I was thinking about that but am okay with the LP as it exists (and have a couple of nice Brötzmann gig prints kicking around already).

i.e., Twins. http://www.discogs.com/Ornette-Coleman-Twins/release/499260

Yes. And Neneh Cherry did a hell of a job covering it a few years ago.

okay, so that stands with my admittedly murky early opinion. But I'd still nab one if I saw it for a cheap price.

yeah, at the end of the day I'm with you, probably. I like "Blues Connotation" a lot. And "First Take."
