looking forward to these & hope I can tune in.

I really, really don't like Moran's music but Hersch is a fine player. I'd be curious to hear someone more educated than me speak honestly on Moran's thing.

Yeah, though for some reason they allowed a re-recorded drum part on one piece... just skip that track, I guess.

Tusques is almost inaudible on balafon, but the amplified kalimba from Freeman is pretty far-out sounding. Evan Chandley's also in fine form (he was in the Cohelmec Ensemble - great French avant-garde band). Those are things I also remember from this one. You really need to check out Selwyn Lissack's Friendship Next of Kin. Burning album with Terroade, Freeman, Harry Miller, Mongezi Feza and Mike Osborne. The tune "Love Rejoice" is played with even more fire (and better drumming) on the Lissack.

Funny, whenever originals come up for sale they're either sealed or trashed. Again, looking forward to this - and Sangrey is clearly more familiar with its cast than I am.

Peter Brotzmann - Nipples - (Calig black-label orig) Peter is 70 years young today!

It's been a while since I've listened to it, but if memory serves it's quite out albeit with some occasional introspective breaks.

A few of those names are familiar to me - Leonard Brown, Lester Lumley, Jerome Harris.

Thanks - looking forward to hearing this.

There are on-demand CD-Rs from Black Saint/Soul Note and ESP floating around, too.

Probably not.

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...
