Taj Mahal Travellers - August 1974 - (Columbia/P-Vine) I still think this band has a strong "you had to be there" vibe, but that probably goes for a lot of communal psychedelia...

Oh my. Thanks for sharing!

I'm going out of town for the weekend. Moby Grape? Really? I don't know how that can be worthwhile at this stage.

There is a place in Austin - can't remember which - that serves "beer mary's" or beer and bloody mary mix (they don't have a liquor license). I recall it not being too bad.

You can send the sleeve to me, but only if we become facebook friends.

ZYX did a CD of it in the 1990s. Solid LP; I wish there had been more commercially released by that group.

Shellac - 1000 HZ - (Touch & Go)

Indeed it is. I think my main "deal" with Ware's previous group was/is Shipp, whom I'm not all that into. If he and Cooper-Moore hadn't fallen out, maybe a different quartet would have emerged in the 1980s/early 1990s.

"Process Music" always explained what Reich, Glass and (to a lesser degree) Riley were doing. Riley was the only one to include improvisation in that process (coming-to-awareness of additive and entropic shifts).

New solo disc on AUM is good. Sometimes I found the "classic" quartet a little too "easy" and feel like he has been better in other settings. Those young & hungry dates with J-C Capon, Beaver Harris, and Apogee are excellent. (not to mention Cyrille, Cecil...)

Ditto. Want it.

More beauts to be found here.

That means it's Edition I. Cool.

Congrats!

Keep the sleeve - you'll thank yourself later.

Minimalism is a really silly word when it comes to aesthetics.

So it probably will work fine if I start paying. That is actually helpful to know.

Congrats! Is the copy of Ascension "Edition I" or "Edition II" ? (it'll say in the dead wax)

Hey all, I don't know if this is a taboo subject, but I have tried downloading things from Rapidshare as a free user and have always gotten corrupt files. This is not a problem with Mediafire or other related programs. I'm not a frequent downloader, but it leaves me a little leery of paying the cash to become a "Premium User" only to have files not open or work properly. FWIW, I'm using Vista and the latest version of Firefox on a reliable home wireless connection. Thanks!

cool story.

:party:

Def. one of my favorite Delmark covers.

Jeez, I thought 2009 was pretty good for recorded jazz...

I haven't seen that since dorm-rat and pot-smoking days (mid-90s).

Wow. Heavy piece. I remember watching Siskel & Ebert as a young'un. Here is an interesting side-story.
