I think I read just yesterday that most of these are fake. Really?! That makes her seem even more idiotic than she already does...

I have a New York stereo of the record; think the bass was thin but haven't spun it in a while. Not my favorite Sam Rivers session, but it's decent.

Nice! In the dubious spirit of the original thread, I'll add Theo Loevendie to the mix also.

Oooh, nice! I just submitted it to Meg at Cute Overload...

Ditto. Once I get my degree in December, I hope to move back to Chicago or out West. We'll see. You could move to Newark. I was thinking about it not too long ago!

Art Farmer - Evening in Casablanca - (New Jazz orig) w/ Gryce, Duke Jordan, Addison Farmer & Philly Joe...

Pharaoh Sanders - Pharaoh - (ESP orig, silkscreened cover) w/ Stan Foster, Janie Getz, Marvin Patillo and William Bennett.

That's ridiculous.

Newark

I'd be a little leery of anything in "fair" (i.e., beat) condition ...think it came out first with the trumpeter logo but I could be mistaken.

Kofsky's book is an interesting historical document. He did seem like he was a bit of a nutjob, though.

Yes! Even though most folks think of him as primarily a tenor player he's also a force on the alto. Great shot of Wheels - that cat can really blow!

Never heard of this cat, but now I'm interested in hearing him. That's the beauty of this thread: a constant calling to listen to new people/groups. JSangry has certianly mentioned a ton of music that I've never heard of before. I'll bet it's great. I don't know much of his playing, but I've heard a few tunes arranged by others and like them very much. Namely Rudd's version of "Everywhere," which slays...

Dave Burrell - Echo - (BYG Actuel orig)

Kinda like the Flexi-Sex discs Trunk have put out recently.

I'd shit if anyone covered "Sov Gott Rose-Marie"... Thurston's a goofball, enthused and sometimes over-enthused, but he's probably done more good than harm in the long run. I mean, he wasn't just mindlessly touting the Alabama Feeling LP, but reissued it on CD a few years after that Grand Royal article and put out/bankrolled some of Doyle's other recordings on Ecstatic Peace and other labels. I mean, not that Doyle's the greatest player on earth but you gotta respect Moore's helpful enthusiasm. He did a lot of cool shit with that DGC A&R bonus, I'll tell you that much...

Of course, but those photographs are beautiful!

I've always thought those ESP Sampler LPs with one-minute excerpts were really odd.

Thurston at least had more sense of humor about it...

On deck: Joseph Scianni & David Izenzon - Man Running - (Savoy)

I couldn't get a sound clip of your roofing torch going. Am I missing something?

Well, actually... Some of the tracks are kind of "diddling" around in the yards, but in college, I used to blast the acetylene torch tracks out of the dorm room. I have 100+ hours of recordings of asphalt roofing kettles that I've made over the past few decades (with an excerpt released on disc here.) I think that the "Junkyard" LP was probably an influence. Whetting my appetite, indeed...

That's a great set. The book alone is worth the whole set...

I've always wanted that 'Sounds of the Junkyard' LP on Folkways. Rod probably has it.
