There were some 1967 gigs with Eddy Gaumont, but my minimal exposure to him was not as a "free" drummer.

Maybe my eyes and ears are going out, but I could have sworn it was Pierre Favre!

What the hell is going on here? I also missed the "obviousness" of the joke, but it seemed like the usual internet quip that we can all move on from.

Very nice. Annabelle is rocking the Juba-Lee LP right now.

An interview I did with him in 2005 is posted here. It was kind of challenging to draw things out of him (especially as this was among the first interviews I did), but he was very sweet and quite funny.

Thanks for the link - yeah, I did, in 2004 or so. It was tough because he was misremembering a lot of crucial facts. Although one I don't doubt him on was his birth year as 1930, contrary to most accounts (said he lied about his age).

He was a nice man.

The twitter-verse (via Phil Schaap) is saying that apparently Marion Brown has died. If so, this is sad news.

Crowder with Evans? Nice!

Happy Birthday, and thanks for all you do! :party:

Talk about baritone madness...

Note the Columbia sleeve on photo two above.

Not your only chance. Here's another one that ended with no bids.

Braxton & Bailey - First Duo Concert - (Emanem UK 2LP)

those are some chompers.

Well, of course Monk recorded with it as well.

Good score - still need the Duos set.

Albert Ayler.

So is it synced? I was trying to watch the clips last night and couldn't get any sound except for a few tiny bits.

If you have heard the Atavistic reissues of the three Kees Hazevoet LP's - or even if you haven't - please check this interview out. I was very happy to finally get it published. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) there were far more photos than could be used. Mr. Hazevoet has quite the archive! Get it here.

But Albert, you haven't told us which one was the most pompous blowhard... (sorry HG)

Ouch. Hope their customer service is okay. I should pick this up before it is gone.

Dang, too bad. I was very happy with what I got from you - thanks!

In what way? "CD 12 (FMP CD 148): Stretto / Tristan Honsinger & Olaf Rupp 2010 Tristan Honsinger-cello; Olaf Rupp-guitar Unissued / new Liner Notes: Clifford Allen" I can vouch for the excellence of that duo, too. Beautiful.

Edit: now I see that there is also a free download - $$ only if you need a sexy, bound hard copy. Link here.
