    Interesting to see that the announcer for the Nov 5 concert is none other than Lars-Goran Ulander, a great Swedish saxophonist.

    One of those "need more experience/how is it that you get more experience?" days as an archivist... oh well.

    Seems like there's a pretty comprehensive Hat title listing here, for you discographically-inclined folks. It could use some expansion to be a true discography, but a helpful resource nonetheless.

    Right, I knew that you knew - was just posting images of both for reference. In Haarlem is a real nice LP too.

    Most of mine are later pressings (Liberty, Toshiba) but in nice shape... I have an early "Turnaround" that looks okay but sounds pretty crackly. Too bad because it's a fine album.

    Which of the Fontanas? Great records.

    The LP was originally slated to be on GTA Italy, which released albums by Steve Lacy (Sortie) and Mal Waldron (All Alone). It was recorded in Rome at the RCA Italia studios, 1 July 1966. BYG put it out in their Actuel series. LP issues are: BYG (F) 529.313 BYG (JP) YX-6058 Affinity (UK) AFF 37 Red Record (IT) VPA 117 Get Back (IT) GET 313

    Would like to hear that - Sakata rules.

    Apparently worked here and there with Bill Laswell, Badal Roy, Akira Sakata, Melvin Gibbs, and in solo contexts, though he didn't record too much. He's on that Miles from India thing.

    He was 68. RIP. I need to investigate his work more deeply, but enjoy hearing him on those mid-70s Miles records.

    Picked this LP up for around $12 a while back and hadn't had the opportunity to listen to it until this weekend. It's a doozy, naturally - the several other Yamashita Trio LPs I have are also pretty great, but adding a brass/wind ensemble gives it a crushingly heavy Mike Mantler vibe that is highly enjoyable. http://inconstantsol.blogspot.com/2011/08/yosuke-yamashita-trio-with-brass-12.html

    Really? Cool!

    Eddie Gale - This is Hot! - (Sagittarius A-Star) 2002 performance at Yoshi's with Prince Lasha and John Gruntfest, pretty solid.

    Mine started out kinda weird. I grew up with jazz around the house - my dad's an avocational pianist - but it never really took. It wasn't until college that I got into it, and was curiously flipping through the bins. I picked out Coltrane's Expression and Ayler's Bells & Prophecy, both on Base LPs. Never heard anything like it before and that stuff changed my life. Sun Ship, ALS, Spiritual Unity, Dolphy and Taylor quickly followed. And then more straight-ahead stuff came later.

    Classic Ra! Now spinning: Tchicai/Geerken/Moye - West Africa Tour - (Sagittarius A-Star) Great 4LP box, and considering these recordings were made on a Sony Walkman, they sound pretty good.

    So apparently there exists a 7" EP from 1964 with Francois Tusques, Beb Guerin, and Don Cherry called "La Maison Fille." Anyone out there ever seen/heard this? Internet's not helping much beyond a cover scan.

    I really hope this band records at some point. Wish I were in NY State for this. BeanRunner Music

    Ornette's was red seal, Bill's was black label (jazz & pop). Bill wanted it to be a red seal, but it didn't come out that way. As Chuck mentioned, it probably was more visible at the time as a result. The Ornette is pretty boring IMO.

    They're printing 1000 of each McPhee title, so you should be able to get one pretty easily.
