Sounds even more enticing...

I think Mahavishnu has a lot more cache than "Johnny."

Speaking of which, really enjoying this Zoot Sims Live at the Half Note 1965...

No: A Journal of the Arts

I like Live in Albany pretty well. I'm really hoping I can get a hold of this duo, however!

I've heard the opposite, but can't confirm as I've never heard the record.

Anybody have a vinyl copy of this to sell or, perhaps, trade (I'm less easy to deal with on trades)? Must be near mint. Thanks!

That Charley Patton box is well worth it.

Malachi Favors was in a dream last night and he told me he wasn't paid to begin with on Certain Blacks. I shit you not. Not that it makes the situation any "better" but we are assuming that artists were paid from the get-go, when often they were not. How much will a free download of Marc Levin's Savoy LP worsen the fact that he was paid maybe $50 to make it in the first place? (I'm talking devil's advocate here.)

There have easily been 3 million crappy/worthless records produced since the advent of the LP.

Just because somebody owns an independent record store doesn't mean they know anything about music or the "industry," or aren't crooks...

Will have to keep an eye out for the set - "Impressions" sounds great with Tony at the helm.

Jonas Gwangwa is another, though I only know his playing from Marc Levin's Savoy LP (he's recorded since then as a leader, I believe). Marty Cook is a strong player, at least from the few things I've heard him on.

Ah yes, Tomlinson - have only heard a little of his work w/ Brotzmann, for example. Never heard of Gail Brand. Tomlinson is on a lot of LJCO recordings as well...as for Gail, she's younger. Made a really great recording with Bay Area guys on Emanem called 'Supermodel, Supermodel'. My favourite though, of what I know of hers, is the fantastic quartet Lunge's second album here. Thanks for the tip on Brand; there are a lot of weird Emanem things that slip through the cracks and I never hear about them. I have Ode and Harmos, but little else LJCO and it's all in storage boxes anyway.

But does stereo give one the environmental quality that experience in-the-world has? Can you hear a recording as though you were quite literally in the middle of it?

Wasn't that Dolphy's bass clarinet that he played? I had Infinity for a minute but the overdubs weren't my shit at the time. Wouldn't mind hearing the material unadulterated, but...

I find this thread eminently fascinating and am glad it was revived. Now I need to get those Jane Fielding reissues.

Ah yes, Tomlinson - have only heard a little of his work w/ Brotzmann, for example. Never heard of Gail Brand.

Just nabbed this in the used CD bins yesterday. Fine, fine disc and my first prolonged exposure to Ammons' work. Do I hear a bit of him in Mobley, or is that just me?

The new Schlippenbach Trio on Intakt is very fine. I have a nice quartet recording, with Kowald, from Moers 1974, part of which was later issued on an FMP LP, Three Nails Left. Motherfucker of a performance, that one.

In the "free" arena, let's not forget Paul Rutherford. The issue of his 1975 Berlin concerts on Emanem is really nice stuff, too. Others of note: the "real" Clifford Thornton Albert Mangelsdorff Nick Evans Johannes Bauer Conny Bauer Malcolm Griffiths Willem Van Manen Daouud Haroom Charles Stephens

Roscoe Mitchell could make anyone quit their day job, stay inside and listen to music, though I hope the illiteracy doesn't come with it.

What, no Just Music?

Cool, thanks Chuck.
