Phill Musra Group - The Creator Spaces - (Intex)
w/ Huseyin Ertunc, Michael Cosmic. Been a little bit since I've spun this, but reacquainting after Phill sent me some more recent music.
I'd like to see a Giuffre set that focuses on his work post-3, especially some of the 70s/80s stuff for Choice, Soul Note, IAI, etc. I think that would be really nice & interesting. Especially since that is material that doesn't get as much "talk" as the earlier work.
I haven't seen the new-new issue yet.
The Koester article was solid, as far as I could tell. Those new Delmarks that the kids are doing are real nice, most of 'em.
Yes indeed. Sorry to hear he's having trouble - I remember when I interviewed him a few years ago he mentioned some health issues he was wrestling with.
Here is the interview. Apparently some recent site formatting made all the apostrophes look ugly. Sorry.
Too bad more of those MoMA concerts weren't recorded back in the day - NY Art Quartet, Jazz Composers' Guild Orchestra, Byard Lancaster/Milford Graves/Dollar Brand...
