My Dutch is non-existent, but even not understanding what was being said, the footage is incredible. Also, dig the fact that you get some of the sessions for ICP 01, the New Acoustic Swing Duo, on film. I have to thank Pedro Moreno (our own epistrophy_arts) for hipping me to this bit of history.

If this were a poll, I'd vote for this iteration as well.

Indeed!

Whew.

What a beautiful document. Check it out here.

Irene Schweizer - The Early Tapes - (FMP)

That Cecil FMP box is giving me a cold sweat. Decent price, but still a lot of change.

Yeah, I was unimpressed when Terri Gross interviewed him the other day. Seemed like a first-class asshole. Now, Alan Sondheim on the other hand...

Oof - I didn't even think of that, either.

Thought this thread might have been about:

I'm curious why you're curious, chewy. All for mind-expansion, sure, though I've recalled previous disinterest in the music of Ayler and Cecil Taylor, so... In any event, this is an excellent record and, for what it's worth, one of the first "avant-garde" jazz records I heard/bought. Still tops.

It is also fun to listen to in mono!

Damn! Nice score!

It's a free jazz record, for one thing. But it's absolutely tremendous. One of the best of the genre.

Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley - Ailanthus / Altissima - (Triple Point Records)

Paul Flaherty & Chris Corsano - Steel Sleet - (Tyyfus)

Happy Birthday Paul!

Never even heard of this. And then, there is this: BN 45-1782 Tina Brooks - Good Old Soul, Pt. 1&2 Freddie Hubbard (tp) Tina Brooks (ts) Duke Jordan (p) Sam Jones (b) Art Taylor (d) Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, June 25, 1960 tk.7 Good Old Soul

Lovely record - I started with the "out" Trane and came to appreciate the "in" (or moreso anyway) Trane a bit more, actually.

Right, I'm with you there.

The Freddie Redd is quite good.

Thinking about getting this as well. Lots of music on that USB drive (an interesting way to do it).

Replete with a ratty-ass jacket.

Anchorman is an asshole.
