I really like that record, and am not much of a Pet Sounds fan. Brandon Burke long ago made me a very nicely stoned compilation of Smile tracks that I think holds up well, even after the Brian Wilson re-do.

Tim Haldeman is no slouch on the tenor, either.

Boykin is not on this disc, but you are getting the idea, yes.

Probably a few old threads available for both choices!

I used to have that on LP and wasn't feeling it. My tastes have changed since; who knows, I might enjoy it more now.

Charlie is a great player and a nice guy, but not my "favorite" bassist. I had to vote Other as well.

thanks for the reminder, clunky.

That record RULES.

Not been in much of a vinyl mood lately, though I did spin this earlier: Oscar Pettiford - Blue Brothers - (Black Lion UK) appears to be a repackaging of some of the material he cut for Danish Debut in 1959-60. Very nice!

She shouldn't have quit her day job. Look forward to giving this a listen on the computer later.

I believe I had a Shepp record with him on it at one point.

PM sent.

I saw reference in a '68 Downbeat that Marion Brown guested with the Garbarek trio in Oslo. Would have been interesting to see/hear that.

Wow. They have a Gay Music category. Who knew? Seems to be only one band though -- the, ah, Flirtations. ... Yup. What, no Destination Out?

Sounds like it was a great show! I didn't know Parker was part of the Art Ensemble now. Can we start calling it the Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble again?

Lookout Farm definitely have their moments. I have heard live recordings from Space and Sunrise Studio in the 70s of various Liebman-Beirach aggregations and some of that shit is f'in heavy. Most of that vibe didn't make it onto the LPs, sadly.

With the exception of Guadalcanal Diary, whom I'm not familiar with, I never thought of any of the other ones mentioned as "pop music." Great rock bands, sure, but pop? Naahh. I highly recommend the True West Hollywood Holiday Revisited CD that Atavistic put out a couple years ago. I have and enjoy the self-titled EP and Drifters, but this adds some nice stuff to the mix.

Sounds up my alley. Thanks for the tip.

I like all those early Garbarek ECMs quite a bit, as well as the Esoteric Circle LP on Flying Dutchman. Wouldn't have pegged "Chicago" so much, but either way, they are interesting and quite heavy.

Hey Pierre, I'll see what I can dig up on this side of the pond as well. University of Texas jazz periodicals in back issues, etc.

Yeah, for decent to good seats it's up to $200 in Austin. Unbelievable.
