Oh yes, I have some of Bill's visual art - really nice litho, in fact. Rarely exhibited but man, some of those paintings are GOOD. Marzette Watts was a painter, and yeah, I know Larry Rivers' work. Rob Mazurek (to bring it more contemporary) is another painter, also does video art and installations. I'm sure I can think of some more.

Looks like PayPal on your CC, chewy. I have it on the Mosaic. Good date and still bid on the King vinyl occasionally (never win, though).

Kenny Cox - Introducing - (BN Liberty orig)

I'll have to dig this one out. I have this and African Cookbook and recently sold my orig of Uhuru Afrika. It has been hard for me to connect with Weston's music and I am not sure why.

I wasn't equating their sound, more the fact that I "like" them an equal amount. YMMV.

Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Grow Fins Vol. 1 - (Xeric)

Oh, they're not so bad!

You want to do QC on late-period Van Morrison masters?

It's a toss-up between Philly Joe and A.T. for me, though there are/were many great drummers from the period. I agree about that PC/Trane set on Blue Note. It's really something else.

That seems heavy-handed. ........... And I really have a "thing" for trumpet-and-rhythm combos. I look quite forward to this. And will keep an eye out for the Thad-Mel-Henderson disc, thanks Ubu.

Amazingly enough, for all my wanton foolishness, NONE of these players would get my vote. I either like or LOVE the mentioned figures. Admittedly only passing with a little Armstrong so I may get the Mosaic. But there hasn't been any problem in getting the "whys" of his stature in this music. Braxton is a great, though in criteria that differ from those used, probably, for other artists on this list.

Happy Belated, Free!

I got me one on Dawn ! Cover designer must have been going to satanic rituals. Yeah, me too - the cover is pretty tasteful compared to the reissue, though. I have no idea what urban legends people are talking about w/r/t this band. Track B1 sounds like early Vandermark 5... only better.

Will the reissue include the other material from that set or constitute only Freddie Hubbard? It might be worth it if only Hubbard but the remainder barely registers a tug...

Sun Ra

Indeed... tho I never seem to run across one with the booklet included.

Was it the gatefold on Dawn for $5? That would be a steal... Now a sleeper hit: Ahmed Abdullah - Life's Force - (About Time)

Seconded. I have a few really nice Argo LPs. Birtwistle's The Triumph of Time is especially nice.

Nope, but I'd like to. I really fucked up not buying an ORIG of that for $100 several years ago in a shop. I was really thinking about it, too... oops!

Philly Joe really makes Shepp's Yasmina LP cook, however. I also really like that Trailways Express LP on Polydor. But of course neither of those have Mr. P.C.

I've shied away from it myself... maybe foolishly, I don't know. There is a Saturn LP from this group that pops up on occasion.

Lowell Davidson - Trio - (ESP orig)

Weird record - and tough to find. Nice score.

out of curiosity - where did they work together? was Lasha residing in Europe, did they travel together... ? I'll look it up - I got the impression that it was a "band" and that they had rekindled their friendship in Europe. Remember that some of Woody's earliest recordings, with Dolphy, also featured Prince Lasha and Sonny Simmons.
