Technically it's not a reissue.

Thanks again to Jeff for all his hard work in putting this BFT together. I'm not a regular participant, but of the few BFTs I have participated in, this was one of the best!

Yeah, mine is on its way. I like the America LP quite a bit, too.

What a way to go. RIP.

All PMs replied to.

Bump: Dickerson crawled out of the woodwork.

Cuneiform is legit, don't worry.

Nice. You going to the Daniel Higgs show? Recommended. No, I was at the first rehearsal for Cardew's The Great Learning. More details to follow. Saw Higgs a few years ago and it was solid if not mind-melting.

Bump for more adds. Some goodies in the cheapo bin, don't pass it up!

Rare as hen's teeth, too. I love Mal's music. Busy with other stuff right now but hope to chime in later.

Interesting pressing. Mine is on Vogue UK.

14 eh? It took me until I was about 19 to really get into jazz. Of course, there weren't forums as nice as this one even in the 1990s. Nice bunny pic, by the way.

Yes, indeed I am kicking myself, jeffcrom. And, yes, I have this CD! Arggggh... As if missing Frisell wasn't bad enough, now my Pacific Northwest cred is really shot by missing Julian Priester too. Hey, at least I liked it. A lot. Helluva band! Me too. I don't have the disc, but still, I should have recognized Hill & Rivers.

I have Jazz Meets India on LP. It's quite good. Hope things go well for this label.

lucky devil, I've been looking for that for quite some time. Most of those ICP's are really, really, good. I've only got the New Acoustic Swing duo, Mengelberg/Bennink duo, and Lijm by Bennink/Bailey, which I finally acquired recently. right at this very instant, I'm listening to Nursery Cryme by Genesis. It's been 10 years since the last spin. Tetterettet has eluded me as well. There's not a clinker among the ICP LPs, though Groupcomposing isn't quite the all-star game one would hope.

Damn - what a shame. Never met the man, but what a legacy. RIP.

I'd like to plug this article, containing excerpts (very slightly edited) from Bill Dixon's letters, manuscripts and like writings. Hope you all enjoy. It's available here.

cracked?

Mary Lou Williams would have been my first guess, had I put my thinking cap on.

That Taco Bells record is sweet. I just reviewed it for Paris Transatlantic.

Even a nice King pressing probably wouldn't set you back much more than $50.
