    Haven't heard Oh, Pharoah Speak! in a million years.

    Trying to cram a brief history of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble into a two-CD review for Tiny Mix Tapes is a hell of an undertaking. More wine please.

    Staring down the barrel of a massive rent increase. I think we may be looking at the more southerly reaches of Brooklyn for the fall, as much as I dig being up in the northern parts. Any ideas/leads for a childless/petless couple for a 1.5 or 2 BR that is affordable and safe would be great.

    It's mostly always rewarding to read Iverson. But he can't get down into the insightful alleys the way Shipp does. Unless we're talking strictly mechanics. Especially with regard to the psychology of Black musicians from the more immediate past. Iverson just doesn't have the background to think about those things. He can respond to them sure, but he wont arrive at them on his own. Wish more things like this would pop up from time to time. Hey - I'm agreeing with a freelancer post!

    Thanks - looks promising. Now if they can start mining the Euro avant-garde vaults...

    Views of 193 Eldridge Street, at Rivington. Former location of Studio We and the Aboriginal Music Society - New York. Also Burton Greene's loft space until 1969. I'll try to get some less impromptu shots of the building soon. Oh, the sounds that went on in that space at one time...

    Almost typed "callender" in my chat. Clearly I have been thinking about Red Callender and 1940s Los Angeles jazz today. For every misspelling there is a proper usage.

    Yeah, I just have the Cortical... bought it when it came out, I think.

    Dang. RIP. Dug his playing on the Larry Young material; will have to check into the Dave Burns album.

    Not part of your crowd is he? Nice guy, excellent musician. I am more a fan now than I used to be, FWIW. I felt he needed to grow into his music, and he has.

    That Kosugi is cool; I only have the reissue, but it's a neat record.

    Sad to hear this. Wish I'd known to get in touch with him before I left Austin.

    You found a copy ! Graham C. wasn't even aware that the stereo version existed before the BGO reissue was done. I did - a few years ago, actually, and in good nick.

    ^ Interesting date. Glad it's out there. Clarke Boland Big Band - Off Limits - (Polydor GER) I return to this CBBB session a fair amount, probably because it's a bit more left-field than most of the catalog.
  21. clifford_thornton
    Yeah, Tyler is great - love his tone too. I think your thoughts are spot on. My idea of the "outlaw" thing has to do with the musicians being "outlaws" and that lower Manhattan in the '60s and '70s had something of a "Wild West" aspect to it. But I wasn't there so I can only guess.

    How is it? I felt I had to thin my Vmark collection down to the V5, DKV, School Days and Free Fall stuff, all of which I enjoy quite a bit.
  23. clifford_thornton
    Benny Bailey - How Deep Can You Go? - (EMI Harvest) I've been listening to this one a lot lately. Great Swedish session from '76.
