    Again, I say this: is anyone prepared to reissue all the Bird Notes recordings? Another longing gaze at an extremely pricey ($500) Bengt Nordstrom solo saxophone LP, "Corsica/Sounds of Life." Beautiful music that NEEDS a good, accessible home and a rightful historical place. I'd pay through the nose for a nice boxed set on Olof Bright!

    Right. I'm good save for the few exclusive tracks. Just curious is all.

    PM sent.

    BTW, Empty Foxhole was on Blue Note, later vintage, with his son on drums. D'oh! I meant the other ugly Ornette artwork album, Art of the Improviser.

    Is it relevant, when writing cover letters, to mention your recent-transplant status? I've heard that potential employers might be asking themselves why they haven't heard of you, but are there pros/cons to this practice? Is it just filling up valuable cover letter real estate?

  8. clifford_thornton
    Okay, thanks. That makes sense.

    I can't remember and don't have the box (played the shit out of the college radio station's copy many years ago), but is there any material here that wasn't released on LP? I have all the Atlantics including Twins, Empty Foxhole and To Whom Who Keeps a Record. Am I missing anything? Can't-miss alternates?

    That one would perfeclty fit the "wieners in ashtrays" thread, too Reminiscent of the Surrealist phase of Savoy album covers, too, in a way.

    Brief but beautiful set tonight from Ideal Bread (Steve Lacy repertory quartet) playing at a hole in the wall down the street from my pad. Would love to see these guys do a months-long residency - their balance between cleanliness and struggle is an invigorating tension. The opportunity to see music like this on a somewhat regular basis is why I moved to NYC; check out their work (& individual projects) if you get the opportunity - you'll be glad you did.

    All I could think about while watching "Last Days Here" yesterday was whether or not Pellet was gripping a copy of Leaf Hound's "Growers of Mushroom" LP near the beginning of the documentary.

    Then: Eric Dolphy - Last Date - (Limelight, gatefold stereo) Just noticed that the watercolors reproduced on the cover are credited to Zibigniew Jastrebski, he of the great '60s/'70s Delmark graphic art. Chuck probably knows a fair amount about him; I understand that he taught at SAIC for some time, well before I went there. Now: Fred Van Hove - Requiem for Che Guevara Martin Luther King John F. & Robert Kennedy Malcolm X - (MPS, Japanese pressing)

    Debatably "jazz," but...

    Dang. Positive vibes heading his way.

    That cover image cracks me up; it's been a google avatar of mine on some sites for a while now. Yet I have not heard the actual recording.
  17. clifford_thornton
    S.O.S. is a great album; I'd assume the rest of the session as released on this set holds up very well. Never seen the CD for sale, alas.
  18. clifford_thornton
    Nice stuff on there! The Jazz Doctors record is very strong, and of course I love Abdul-Malik and Howard. Inward Fire is an underrated LP in Jordan's catalog, IMO.
  19. clifford_thornton
    I have that somewhere; haven't listened to it in a while. Fascinating artist and composer.
  20. clifford_thornton
    mine has this cover Same here, except mine is a Polydor pressing.
  21. clifford_thornton
    That record is really quite good.
  22. clifford_thornton
    Grabbed this from Dime because I don't want to pay for "new" bootlegged CDs, and wanted to be sure I had the pitch-corrected version. Sure, the sound is pretty grimy, but the music is superb.
  23. clifford_thornton
    Lots of boots absent.

    Manu is on Paris Soul Food, which has been reissued. Unless there's another one you're referring to.
