Alas, Barney Wilen's Zodiac is not part of the reissue plan...

Different than what I was told by a reliable source, but more interesting also.

Actually, that is genius.

Bull shit. Really? I think you'd get a different take from the director of Apocalypse Now. Yep, maybe Martin Sheen is ok now--I dunno. But for a long time he wasn't and I'm sure even if he's clean at the moment he battles addiction and impulses every day. Whether or not the Sheens are "decent people" is beside my point, but you speak rather pejoratively about people who have and still do battle addiction. It's a disease.

It's a fine one; he's also excellent on the Selwyn Lissack "Friendship Next of Kin" LP. Apparently he has moved from London to NYC's East Village; still with us though I'm not sure if he plays music anymore.

I'm with BeBop, though I can say that when I had fewer records, I can remember that the standouts tended to be discs like McLean's Destination Out, Out to Lunch, Hill's Black Fire, the Ornette Atlantics, Spiritual Unity, the early Bill Dixon recordings (the 7-tette, which I first had on a BYG bootleg, I listened to a ridiculous amount), Into the Hot, Rudd's Everywhere, and the Braxton Aristas. It's funny where I started. Of course this is all great stuff but I probably don't listen to things as obsessively now. I also distinctly remember coming home from class and having received a vinyl copy of the AEC People in Sorrow LP on Nessa in the mail. I went to work and came home for a break (this was Lawrence, KS, and it was possible to take a break by biking home in five minutes and then back in an hour). I put the record on and did not go back to work that night.

well, Paul Bley was on the West Coast and later played with Chet Baker, and... he has been on ECM since the early days of the label! So you might have to make some exceptions...

yeah that Missy post is a classic.

Dunno; he was also really good w/ Graham Collier.

Martin Banks also played with Archie Shepp. Wonder if the fact that Hannibal has relocated to the near-Austin area will mean achieving a local legendary status?

I cannot wait.

Yeah, still five times as much as usual! I just have it on CD...

You never see any British Jazz LPs of that ilk in charity shops! Looks like something I'd like to hear - sidewinder, did you win? Crazy high price for Good Move here.

Prince Lasha has played it; Rozanne Levine also regularly performs on the instrument.

Indeed, that was something to see... must have just come out at the time.

What a find - hipped to this 1967 film via Inconstant Sol.

Derek Bailey - Guitar Solos - (Incus)

I've already got my own blog outside of the o-board, but this is still a nice idea.

This is fucked up.

I saw them last year and thought it was good - better than I expected. The sound in the hall was horrible, however - this being UT's recital hall for classical music (mostly). Their cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - which I never gave a shit about before - is totally Waldron-ized. Dug it.

Whoa. Curious to hear this.

I liked the book but I'm easy.

Not a stroke - severe migraine, she's okay.

Sort of, though steroids and EPO are very, very different drugs. One builds muscle/power, the other is a blood thinner that allows greater oxygen intake, etc, about as much as if you were training at altitude.
