Not to be confused with this, however:

Now: Bill Dixon/Archie Shepp - Quartet - (Savoy original)

Yeah, you might be right. At least as far as more "traditional" dates/contexts go. Can't be a "shrike" all the time.

As it should!

Lol Coxhill & Steve Miller - Miller/Coxhill-Coxhill/Miller - (Caroline)

Dunno either. Can't wait for the reissue, though.

Ovary Lodge - s/t - (RCA UK)

It's excellent, indeed. I find his work since more engaging, but on its own terms this is a very strong LP. I'm not sure he even still has the tapes, as a lot of reels of his earlier work have been lost (Silva/Dixon duos, for starters).

I understand being a round peg in a square hole. It's been one reason why, I think, I find it hard to find a good fit. I know it exists somewhere, but sure can be tough to find. If I was better with numbers, I'd be my own boss. That said, though Austin and environs seem to be weathering the storm comparatively well, it is tough to find a good job in my field (libraries). Lot of recent grads like myself looking for a gig. I've expanded my search to nationwide and keeping my fingers crossed. Luckily my girlfriend will also move, and is just finishing her graduate work. My hours will be fewer this summer (slow times for academics) but it'll be time well-spent looking for a new job.

Think I'm going to dig into some Ovary Lodge when I get home.

So how was the Burton Greene & Perry Robinson gig & interview??? It was great. I had interviewed Burton before for AAJ, but it was cool to do it in front of an audience and Perry was a blast also. I cooked them dinner at my place, had a lot of fun. My girlfriend, who is a dancer/improviser/choreographer, was invited to dance a couple free pieces with them and it was totally rad. I think there's a chance Burton & Perry will try to come back next year!

Music of the Sioux and Navajo - (Ethnic Folkways)

Phillip Wilson & Olu Dara - Esoteric - (Hat Hut)

Just got mine. Can't wait to crack it open. Thanks Alex, will keep you posted on the review front.

Right now: Frederic Rabold Crew, one track from the Born Free compilation on Scout. Nice set that also includes Peter Brotzmann, Just Music, Dave Pike, Phil Woods, Albert Mangelsdorff and Lester Bowie.

I've got a mono of Cornbread, too. Sounds fantastic to my ears. Fold-down, no?

That is a very odd record, but I like it okay. Glad it exists.

Seeing Burton Greene and Perry Robinson tonight and tomorrow night. Will also be interviewing them in front of the audience tomorrow. Should be interesting. Glad they liked my dal recipe last night!

Al, did you get it in Austin or up north? I haven't seen one in my traipses through the shops. But I almost bought back a David Eyges record I sold...

You mention a lot of nice ones. Welcome to the board.

Mostly some "average" BN and Prestige "rarities." The most uncommon bit seemed to be the Jim Pepper on Nabel.

Wish I could've been there!

I'll shoot for Saturday. Assume this is connected somehow to the Continental Club? There's also this, in which I'm participating. Burton Greene + Perry Robinson

Well, with eBay and PayPal connected, they're making more money off the seller. They wouldn't be collecting fees (on top of listing fees) if you paid with check, money order or cash. Dig?
