From the second interview with a musician that I ever did (I was pretty green but did not want to call Murray out on embellishments):

Posting this for a friend. I wish I could be there but hopefully some of of you are able, interested, and can spread the word.

Feliz Cumpleanos!

What an amazing time you must have had, Gheorghe. Sounds great. I like the "European avant-garde" stuff as well as bop and hardbop (but sometimes the mood strikes for one or the other). Kleinschuster's sextet was pretty fine IMO, but definitely "of its time."

Tastefully inspired, I would say.

Nice score for Jim.

Worrell dropped out of the music in the late 1960s, from what I understand, though he later resumed playing and I believe he's still with us. Really fine player. He's not on the Rivers disc.

Great choice! Love this record.

Haven't seen you in a while MG! Welcome back!

Cool - thanks for the tip. I love Anthony Ortega's music. There's also this transcribed oral history, which is incredible.

Nice stuff - I don't have the one with Scott, but I do have Koncert v Lublani and the Japo LP, both of which are great. Dasek is an amazing musician, and Stivin is just the "tits" as they say. Especially on the SHQ LPs. His Five Hits in a Row with Barre Phillips is also worth hearing.

Great one - I just have a Fresh Sound LP of this (wish it was at least a legit Cadet, but oh well).

Nice blog - passed it along.

That Diz footage is sweet.

The Futura and Marge catalogs yield a lot of deep stuff. Well worth dipping into both the old and the new.

Nice score, chewy.

Thanks y'all! Had a wonderful weekend in San Antonio with my girlfriend. I hadn't been, and it was kind of a surprise trip for me.

First issue was on Dutch/UK Fontana. Second was on UK Freedom/German Intercord I believe.

Wasn't sure where else to post this, but apparently Edward Ayler (father to Albert & Don) has died. link. Also, the short remembrance on the memorial page (linked through the above) is by Tony Shy. I wonder if Tony is a relative of Clyde Shy?

Hmm.

I have the Shandars and though it's been some time since they've gotten spins, I have fond memories of sitting thru the set at cranked volume in college. I can understand your criticism of the fact that some parts didn't always fit together right, and will have to listen to it with that in mind sometime. The Cecil-Cyrille duets are what always really struck me.

Gosh, which ones did they have? I can't think of a record store I've walked into in the last 10 years with more than one Sam Rivers CD. Crystals and all the Blue Note CDs.

Yeah, I like that one a lot. Review for those who are curious.

Street team don't care. Street team don't give a fuck.
