Mingus - Pithycanthropus Erectus [sic] - (America) I dig this band w/ Bobby Jones, Eddie Preston and Charles McPherson. Underrated, IMO, YMMV, etc...

Witch - Lazy Bones - (Shadoks re)

Cream - Live Cream - (Atco)

And the New Acoustic is definitely worth seeking out.

Yeah, the Message is pretty nice. That sidelong drone piece on 007 (i think) - don't have it in front of me - is pretty sick. Some of the early BVHaast titles are pretty interesting as well. Also the Theo Loevendie and Hans Dulfer records though that is a radically different bag (or three). I think Whitehead gives the shaft to a lot of the non-ICP characters, fwiw.

Lubriphonic? Is this the dancehall follow-up to Lubricated Goat?

Maybe we could get it lobbied for issue under Norman Connors' name?

Nice one. Took me a long time to make that acquisition myself. And have you ever seen one with the box not splitting around the edges?

Alexander von Schlippenbach - Piano Solo - (FMP)

Evan Parker - Hook, Drift & Shuffle - (Incus)

Not being much of a Wes fan, I still recall hearing some of her records - my dad was a follower of her work - and thought them to be technically affirming. Too bad she checked out so young.

Karl Berger, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian?

Got an email and have reserved a copy. Looking forward to this.

I need both of those. The Honi Gordon, which looks really cool, is my facebook avatar!

I've only more recently been able to get into Shepp's later bag and though it's hit or miss, there are some gems - esp. among the Steeplechase dates. I totally hear what you're saying about Moondoc, though his records have given me a lot of joy. They certainly are a bit raggedy and "just - almost -" y'know? I feel the same way about Spearman, though he could BLOW.

Happy Birthday! Liking the "Old Dog" CD a lot, Karl!

I pretty much wanted to tear bluenote82 into bits but then, I guess he served his purpose. aric is still here as chewy, dontcha know? And we're all the better for chewy's participation, I think. DEEP may have got under my skin but I can't remember.

I don't think I've seen the vinyl before, either, though some of those Marge titles aren't all that easy to find. For PJJ as a leader, the one I come back to often is Trailways Express, on Polydor. Not that it's the "best" but I like it a lot.

It's an interesting one. Geez! Well, I remember it fondly as I used to listen to it a lot. Now: Pharoah Sanders - Quintet - (ESP, w. 55th stereo)

I like that Savage Pencil artwork for the Ra discs.

I like Jemeel Moondoc just fine.

They do a nice job with CDs and recording - hope to make it to the performance space at some point. Looking forward to the Dixon set, of course.

Are you able to listen to these sides and let us know how the music is?

Whatever comes out on vinyl in 14 years. CDs. All of them.

I emailed Ben to see if I could reserve one about a week ago and haven't heard back. Hope I will.
