I'm not feeling the Time LP. I have a mono Japanese LP of it.

There are some seriously rare/odd early Garbarek LPs if one puts their popsike goggles on. Those early '70s issues on Norwegian Philips look interesting. Anybody heard these?

Bump for Clem and Emmylou...

I'll have to dig into that broadcast. Only know Pullen from his work with Milford and Giuseppi, as well as a bit of the Mingus-Adams material. But there's obviously more to work from here.

Yeah, my Nano conked so this is my next purchase... if I can stay away from orig Euro free jazz LPs for a while, that is!

You haven't seen my plan for a BFT yet, then... I always thought Elegant Soul had the better cover.

"Time's Encomium" = "I tried so hard to quit you!"

This has always been my favorite of the Booker Little leader sessions. Definitely dig his work with Max a lot - that Mosaic box is essential!

Wow. Beautiful stuff.

Got mine today and a nice bonus, too. All look crisp. Thanks!

Mine's a bit hissy in that "From Despair To Hope" (typical NJ pressing), though luckily I also have the CD.

That Candid trio CD I shamefully forgot about. The PJ is a bitchin' LP. I haven't spun my Barnaby/Candid vinyl of How Time Passes in a few years, but this is a good reminder - if I can find it in storage, that is...

No shit. A great, great album.

I grew up in Topeka. Would've been sweet to see him play there - I was in the area a couple of weeks ago.

I have it - pretty fine. Read my review at Bagatellen.com if you choose.

Do you mean Leonard Jones or Leroy Jenkins? In this book, both factor prominently.

Not a reason most would expect. My friend SEK (Steve Kaufman) finally died of a nasty form of brain cancer about 18 months ago. He had fought it for years. Great guy with interesting tastes. Search out his posts. He was a prince. Sidewinder undoubtedly meant something else I posted about Stenson and I don't mean anything negative about that - it just took me back to a personal loss. I didn't know this about SEK/Steve. Thank you for informing me, and if I'd plainly forgotten, my apologies.

Yeah, my orig clean as it looks is muddy. I'm not convinced that that doesn't add to it, though. It is meant to be dense with very little instrumental separation - a morass more than a field, yet one that still can wash over the listener. That's always been integral to Silva's intent.

Thanks, Nate. Will have to re-listen.

I'll check out the film clips later. Needless to say, this sounds very much up my alley. Thanks!

I thought that was a $300 record on a good day! Shit...

I have those discs and embarrassingly, never got around to reviewing them. Clever and curious, not mind-blowing or anything. I guess that's why I didn't write 'em up, though they're not unloadable either.
