I have no qualms about the artwork, either, and find that it fits the multiple emotional perspectives that the music is coming from. The trio with Lane belonged on a different record.

Bummer.

Thanks for the article. And to Roy, for the music.

It's quite good.

Holy shit.

Same here. Though not all NYers are "lookit mee" types.

I am in agreement with you there.

Now we can give you a proper welcome!

I like him with Wadada; haven't heard much else. Critics' darling!

I scored an original of the first Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co. LP. It's way better than I expected, from Behrman-esque improvisational Moog damage to more minimal stuff. You can get it on CD here.

Indeed, they are very enjoyable. The new(er) drummer isn't quite up to snuff, though. Not Ed Torres, anyway.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks; when he's back from vacation I'll see about it.

Also, not many vinyl hounds on this site.

Happy Belated!

Still my favorite smoking Mal image. Looks like that one belongs in an ash tray. Now listening to J Kuhn/Jenny-Clarke/Romano Sounds of Feelings on BYG. Good record, but the pressing sucks compared to the contemporaneous MPS records.

Very fine set, on a similar level to London Concert (Wave) , it was my first exposure to Warne and Lee when I picked it up in the early 90s. Sound quality is fine but nothing special. But not the same session, I presume. Thanks.

Nah, it's a funny 'crack.' Chuck might know more about the specifics.

How is the Konitz/Warne on Pausa? Saw that for $10 the other day. I admit to being slowed in my purchase by the ugly cover art, though I do like later Warne.

RIP. It's through this board that I've really begun to appreciate his efforts and those of the musicians/composers that he championed.

Thanks all - day off and spent away from the computer for the most part. Going to try and see Daybreakers tonight, parents in town, etc. Should be nice. Thanks again!

Who can forget Sonny Sharrock & Space Ghost?

Not to keep pushing the rumor mill, but his health hasn't been very good in the past few years.

I read that as Harvey Wallbanger...

Indeed on the Triptych Myth stuff - I haven't listened to those discs in a while but they're very strong. The opener on the Hopscotch disc is devilishly out of the Hasaan/Valdo bag. Chad Taylor's new trio w/ Chris Lightcap & Angelica Sanchez (482 Music) is also quite good. Santana is off the hook. It definitely deserves a CD reissue. (they still do those, don't they?)
