The duo is really great. They push each other quite well. Hope some of you all can get out to see them.

The numbered silkscreen edition is technically the "first" but was a limited pressing, probably given to critics and so forth. The first commercial pressing has the red on white silkscreen cover. This site is helpful: Total Shutdown & Image Gallery

That is crazy--that's a $25 record. Still sealed = probably warped. $25 is even kind of high in my experience!

Classic.

Yeah, no idea why I've never picked it up. I have quite a few Murray leader dates on LP (maybe most if not all of his other albums), and a buttload of sideman appearances. Weird.

Interested to hear this Dexter Bailey character!

Wow. A big loss. RIP.

Apologies for coming off like a jerk. I just don't like clickbait, and I value the above musicians - some of them anyway - as artists rather than being concerned about their looks. My 30-year old girlfriend was surprised at how "old" and not "cleaned-up" Kim Gordon looks these days. That irked me too - Gordon is a great artist and a hero of the music. Who cares what she looks like?

Oddly I've never owned Apple Cores, though Charred Earth is pretty cool.

The site is stupid. People age - so what?

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - For You To Share - (A Records, UK)

IIRC there was an unrecorded Giuffre quartet with Lacy around this time.

Dawan Muhammad/Curtis Clark/Prince Lawsha II - Three for Free, Volume 3 - (Evidence Music Int'l) There is no volume one or two!

Interesting, didn't know about that one. I think I'd like to make its acquaintance Excellent little record that used to be around and now seems to be nowhere.

I've never had Tschüs for some reason. I should grab it sometime.

Bent Jaedig - Danish Jazzman 1967 - (Debut, Japanese reissue)

Yeah, wouldn't mind seeing a list either.

There you have it.

Little piece I wrote on the man here.

Love that Lasha LP. He told me it was possibly his favorite session too.

Ah, didn't realize "permanent residency" was a possibility. I believe Bley has had such status since the '70s (my copy of Stopping Time is buried somewhere).

Second for Lady of the Mirrors! I've also enjoyed his work with James Newton and Abdul Wadud. Episteme is also a great record, moving in the direction of his later orchestral suites. Need to check out the operas.

Is it this one? It's been released by Sonorama fairly recently: http://www.sonorama.de/index.php?section=THE-SWEDISH-MODERN-JAZZ-GROUP-Sax-Appeal That cover has long gotten under my skin; wonder how the sound is on the Sonorama reissue? The Barben LP isn't particularly easy to find. And I hope that the book gets reprinted - forgot about it until this thread popped up again. Too much cool stuff to keep track of...

Bobby Bradford - with John Stevens and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble - (Intercord/Freedom)

According to Burning Ambulance (Phil Freeman is a trusted source), reedman Arthur Doyle has passed away. A favorite of mine indeed - worked with Noah Howard and Bill Dixon as well as his own groups in the '70s, guitarist Rudolph Grey in the '80s, and recently as a leader in some admittedly quite strange settings with his own childlike vocal tunes blended with free improvisation. He was falsely imprisoned in France for a stretch in the '80s (IIRC) and seemed to have some personal struggles, but he was and is a true American original well worth celebrating.
