Petra seems like the most interesting one - a cellist. There's also Josh Haden, who was in a band called Spain that I didn't like too well. Rachel was in that dog. with one of the Weezer assholes. I'm sure they're all nice kids, though. Right?

The Vaselines - The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History - (Sub Pop) Used to have it on cassette when it was issued (posthumously) in 1992, glad to have it again for sure... apparently there was an LP version on the German licensing label Glitterhouse, but I've never seen that one. Chris Corsano - The Young Cricketer - (Family Vineyard LP)

US buyer on that one.

Yes, and cheaply as I recall. HG, buy it!

Uncle Jim's Band, I think.

Sunny Murray - Sunshine - (BYG Actuel orig)

Somehow it's hard for me to imagine this being anywhere as interesting as the Garrick/Winstone collaborations. But that's just me...

"Fuck that" says the agoraphobe in me...

Yeah, it is scarce. Well worth the hunt, though - excellent record. Wright certainly had his demons, as did many people.

Ah, at Love Garden in Lawrence, KS?

Sunny Murray - Quintet - (ESP orig)

Yes, the America is very good. There was also another America under Noah Howard's name that was mostly recorded at the same session. All the compositions on Uhuru Na Umoja are, in fact, Howard's. I think the defining statement from that band was the Calumet LP, Church Number Nine, which has been reissued on CD. One of those recs that I was glad I got at a decent price before eBay madness really took over...

I think my third BN LP was Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard. A dark-blue label, steppin' up from the DMMs that were the first two!

I have the LP, but as it was originally issued as Sun Records SEB-004 (FR). Quite good!

Share your love for the Reverend Frank Wright, saxophonist and leader of some fantastic (and frantic) post-Ayler ensembles in the 1970s. Born July 9, 1935 in Grenada, Mississippi, he moved to Cleveland and met Albert Ayler, who encouraged him to go to New York in the mid-60s. He was apparently asked to record with Coltrane on Ascension, but was still getting his chops together at the time. Recordings for ESP followed, as did a lengthy sojourn in Europe before he returned to New York in the 1980s. He died on the bandstand of a heart attack in Germany, in 1990.

Well, I'd rather listen to that than Pat Metheney.

So let me know when you have the LPs of the Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble Heliopolis, Michael Cosmic Peace in the World, and the Black Unity Trio on offer.

No, he was selling "in." Belying my age, the first George Benson I recall hearing was a CD - when those were new - of Soda Fountain Shuffle. Ugh. My dad had White Rabbit in his LP collection, but the only Benson record I ever owned was the Prestige disc with Jack McDuff.

Ah yes. Like many California-based artists (Ed Ruscha, for example), the pun on the popular icon was paramount. Hip, if you will.

But it's ART!!

Joe Henderson - Page One and Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch were the first two BNs I got, on vinyl no less.

Clem: this'n?

Breakaway

So,,,,,,,,you only read the last post in a thread. Yes, and didn't Warne record with Lew Tabackin for the label?
