Gato Barbieri - Obsession - (Affinity) 1967 session with Aldo Romano and J-F Jenny-Clarke, pretty bitchin'!

Also, as of this morning, my balls seem to be working perfectly.

Right, I believe a track or two from Tension ended up on there too. Gunter Kronberg was pretty smokin'!

Still have yet to hear that 1st Ira Sullivan on Delmark, too (or is that actually a "Delmar"?). I have and enjoy Nicky's Tune, but Clifford Jordan blowing alongside Sullivan's arsenal looks pretty fine indeed.

Steve Miller/Lol Coxhill 4tet - Miller's Tale - (Matchless) w/ Eddie Prevost and Tony Moore

I have that Schoof CBS (great!) but still have yet to score a copy of the Kuhns' album. Very, very rare indeed!

Yeah, looks great. Will be giving the Bastards some more of my dough!

Yeah, I've seen Tchicai in NY and Chicago on some excellent gigs. He was living in California not long ago, I believe. I know he still has a house in rural France somewhere, and that's where I've reached him easiest.

not too many years wasnt it made in 2000? Yes, but strangely enough, that's just a hair less than a quarter of my life (yikes!) ... As I understand it - and this may be total bullshit - a wedge was driven into the original lineup when Zorn replaced Tchicai on some gigs, and that another reunion is unlikely.

Miles - At the Plugged Nickel, Chicago, vol. 1 - (CBS Japan orig)

White - "Life on the Ranch of Elizabeth Clare Prophet Isn't All it's Cracked Up to Be" / "Play It All Night Long" - (Satan's Pimp)

Times New Viking - Dig Yrself - (Siltbreeze)

Haven't spun that in YEARS - don't remember liking it as much as the ESP, Fontana or ostensible America dates.

Haven't seen this show, and due to my fear of flying, it probably isn't a good idea to watch! I have heard/read about a lot of these accidents, though.

The Sonic Youth - Sister - (SST orig)

There's something distracting about this picture, not sure what it is... Anyway, Happy Birthday guys! Hope it's a great way to start the week (or that the Monday doesn't get in the way of the celebration).

I think you'd have to PM him to get him over here...

Lubomyr Melnyk - KMH (Piano Music in the Continuous Mode) - Music Gallery Editions

I wasn't too into that Hero's Welcome thing, but seeing Silva play synth and piano (along with Sabir Mateen and maybe Gerald Cleaver? on drums) was pretty fantastic.

Most of my problems have been on Northwest's DC-9s.

No, the filing system is fine - I need a librarian ! If you want to pay me $45K, I get my MSIS in December!

Well, I assume Alan's just going to paint up boxes until he gets tired of it. They pressed a couple thousand CDs, I know that much.

You need a better filing system - it seems like you are always misplacing LPs!

Yeah, I actually blew it off when it came out (don't ask why), but it's now on my to-buy list.
