Need to get that Zoar CD.

Ha - please stick around, indeed. I only pay homage to the great brass multi-instrumentalist; obviously there's no relation.

Now that does sound interesting. I bet copies of that don't appear often, in whatever condition. As I thoroughly enjoy Naughton;s Understanding I think I need to investigate Yeah, Understanding is "the shit," but Nature's Consort is pretty awesome too. Naughton's recordings have never disappointed.

I thought this was pretty much the first cover - with corresponding orange and black labels:

Other than the Solal, which I don't have, those others have not seen spins in many years in the Clifford household... hmm. Earlier tonight, spun a very clean copy of this record, bought recently to replace a somewhat ratty copy: Nature's Consort - Nature's Consort - Otic Bobby Naughton, Mario Pavone, Laurence Cook, Mark Whitecage and James Duboise in concert, 1969. Beautiful silk-screened cover.

Yeah, haven't bought any of their records though I've seen them live a couple of times and thought they were very strong.

Thanks, Aggie - I'll have to keep an eye out for that disc.

That's be like 75 percent of the Prestige catalog, probably. They didn't call it "the junkie label" for nothing. Of course, I have a feeling that particular problem crossed over to about every other label during the era. Probably true.

Looks cool - who's on the Marty Cook track? The only Scofield I have in my collection (that I know of) is as a sideman on Peter Warren (b) Solidarity on Japo, with De Johnette, Ray Anderson, and John Purcell. It's a solid session though not my go-to of Warren's dates.

Wonderful. Suppose the Jazz Loft Project is aware of Smith's session photos?

Roger Dean?

Love it. Paris, 1969 - if I had a time machine!

Cool photo, Brownie!

What's the deal here? I'll be getting that and the Dankworths, tyvm.

He had others, as well, from what I'm told (by Bernard, but on this I trust him). Yoko was very into Patty Waters, of course.

Wow - RIP.

Right. The only one I don't have is The Owl, but I'm sure Roba cost me that much on its own!

Phil Woods & The European Rhythm Machine - Chromatic Banana - (Pierre Cardin)

No ESP's? Frankly, I'm a bit surprised. Apparently Lennon had all the early ones.

Steve Lacy - Catch - (Horo)

Jeff Clyne/Ian Carr/Trevor Watts/John Stevens - Springboard - (Polydor UK)

Like I said, sometimes these BNs are released out of sequence.

Indeed, it's fantastic. I have it on a French America LP with different cover art.

I wonder if he's playing the Undead Jazz Fest in NYC?
