Nah, only what's currently on the list is on the list (few things on HOLD).

I was just reading about that record in an old issue of Cadence today. Made me want to hear it, even though I'm not generally a fan of Gary Burton (have the first few on RCA and kept it at that).

Kenny Clare isn't a misspelling - English drummer.

Old ESP address

how trashed?

Bump - still a few things left.

I really like jazz flute. Very few others do, and it's a source of continual teasing in my experience. "There you go with that funky flute crap again, Clifford."

Rike

I watched the video the other day - it's pretty gross. Surprised his jaw or part of his head didn't go with the bull's horn. Bullfighting is pretty horrible, IMO, as is the Running of the Bulls - rather than reverence for a spirited animal, it's perverse and barbaric and often just stupid.

RIP. I can't say we weren't warned when his prostate cancer was looking terminal, but it's still sad to hear. What a great actor.

I'm pretty sure that my copy of Choco-motive doesn't have marzipan.

Rod Levitt - Solid Ground - (RCA-Victor, mono)

Never seen it - looks cool.

Bump with a few additions.

Jemeel Moondoc & Muntu - The Intrepid: Live in Poland - (Poljazz)

Sad story overall. Finally, after 42 years, he's at peace.

Not to my knowledge.

Yeah, he used Johnson, Rudd and Harris at the Plugged Nickel in Chicago, '67/'68. Don't know who the bass player was.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!? I don't know, but the artwork reminds me of Dan Higgs.

That's like saying that anything I claim to be true IS true, as long as I place it in a book I've written. Guess I'll just throw out my life as a library and information professional.

Paul Smoker is a very, very good player. I saw him a few years ago with Adam Lane, John Tchicai and Barry Altschul. Okay, make that several years ago - but still, a mighty fine gig. Crackling, incisive and bright inside-outside trumpet playing.

Thanks for the info - all I know of him is the BG connection.

I wouldn't say that it's not good, and if that was all there was, I would be happy with it. The first of Burton's records I heard was ESP 1024 and it resonated with me. He did everything he was capable of at the time, and that's totally respectable and fantastic (not everybody realizes their current potential at the time they are doing something). But what he's done since is superb and often sublime. Allen, are you referring to Paul Stocker?

I believe that it happened; it is just not something that particularly interests me. Sam Rivers, Larry Young, and Tony Williams "going for it" around the same time period, now that I would like to hear.

I think he looks more drunk, but...
