I'll grab it, sure. Probably CD/digital.
Archival to me means that the group/project is no longer active, which would be accurate for this release.
-
potential, at least for Coltrane, Chambers, and Philly Joe. I never really felt Garland was all that interesting but it has been years since I listened to him with any level of concentration. My piano sense has gotten better over time, and I might hear him differently now.
-
Juini Booth, yeah. Saw him a couple times in the early 00s, great player and could probably (weed) smoke any of us under the table.

That's too bad. He's a great pianist.

The Japanese is definitely not first. Discogs is wrong. If anything they were roughly simultaneous. Producer Pierre Berjot (Musidisc-America-Carson-Calumet) licensed Church Number Nine and the AEC's Chi-Congo to Odeon in the early 70s. The French original of Chi-Congo was on Decca, though that seems to have been a Berjot deal as well.
The mystery is the additional track on the Japanese pressing. My guess is Toshiba-EMI felt they could include more music and keep the pressing integrity, and ran off the entire session tape onto disc, whereas Berjot lopped off about ten minutes for the French market.

I have that recording as well, most excellent!
-
that's not too bad. I'd let the lamination be. If it was coming off in sheets I'd finish the job.
Incredible LP, too. Got mine maybe 25 years ago now, and the labels are solid red with black print. The sleeve has a flipback construction. I think the red label is "first" but they pressed so few of them I'd imagine the design switched mid-run.

speed correction would not surprise me, actually.

maybe we are in the era of LESS is MORE !
I like the door squeak myself. I also like the Pierre Henry door squeak.

Karl Berger has said that he and Ingrid were with him at the hospital where he died. Berger has repeated the "junkie" story and if he was there, it must have a kernel of truth. My understanding is that they at first didn't realize what was going on and by the time they figured it out, it was too late.
Prince Lasha told me that Dolphy was drinking watered down honey constantly.

Saw him at a gig in the audience maybe 12 years ago, but never experienced his music live. Definitely an original. RIP.
This one, to me, is superb and eclipses BUY and the No New York tracks:

I've actually never had the Montreux date on LP. Will probably download legally somewhere, curious.
-
I would start with Challenge or Karyobin, or maybe Oliv & Familie Sequence. Bobby Bradford with John Stevens and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble (a 2CD set released by Nessa), is another excellent example. Biosystem is superb but my feeling is that those recordings still somewhat tethered to a jazz or "free jazz" feel might be a better place to start with the sound world of John Stevens and company.

Giogio Gaslini Quartet - Dall'Aba All'Alba [La Voce del Padrone, Italy 1965]
continuing my recent Gaslini investigations. This is great
agree, that one is a favorite.

All these years later, that Fabulous Slide Hampton quartet album with Joachim Kühn was purchased and is greatly enjoyed. I also really like Exodus, which I've never seen as an LP (very rare) but the CD reissue was easy enough to find.
-
got mine yesterday and working through 'em. I'd say we are getting quite the overview of what these PAPA concerts were like overall. Some peaks, some not-so-peaks, but it's all interesting.
-
ah! yes, I love those beardo-era photos too.
-
Mine have been dispatched. Looking forward to diving in.

HBD (Jun 10) to Mr Stevens!

Damn, that's too bad. He was superb.

On Evidence, about 15 years ago. But this is "expanded." And if previous reissues are to be repeated, this will sound really good, from better tapes and more carefully mastered.
Atavistic/UMS rather than Evidence.
New liner notes by David Toop, in addition to more music.

Sounds as logical an explanation as any.
My guess is that the license ran out. That being said, all musicians/bandleaders owned their music & publishing with Strata-East, so I'd think that to do a program like this properly something would have to be worked out with the artists as well.
-
That's too bad. RIP, and a life well-lived.

right, right -- thanks for that. Two chords.
