Both "Ramblin'" and "When Will the Blues Leave?" are on the original lp, so they may have been cross labeled on the cd.
I think the IAI LP is mis-labeled also; will have to check. I seem to remember some weird issue with it...
His first on Black Saint isn't too scarce - same title as the label!
Also the stuff with Max Roach, of which I have a little bit. I don't know how much of that material made it to CD - vinyl albums on Horo and East Wind, I think.
Yeah, all I have for Russell boots is some stuff with Farrell (courtesy DP!), from the above session. I checked my notes, and it's actually from a Paris gig.
You know, I've never bought those Brains on Fire records. Maybe next time I see one...
Speaking of Coursil, I wonder if the (supposedly complete) session he cut for ESP (with Marion Brown, Rashied Ali and probably one of several likely bassists) will ever see the light of day? Tapes do exist...
That's a great record. Jack Graham was a cousin of Joe Henderson's, according to Sunny "grain-of-salt" Murray. He died not long after the record was made - apparently smack got to him (or he to it).
As of now, the Calibre edition is the only one still lurking.
And, for posterity:
Norman Howard (tp)
Joe Phillips (as)
Walter Cliff (b)
Corney Milsap (d)
I think all but one of the tunes are Phillips'; don't have the disc with me right now.
You're very right about that, and I've been thinking how to put it to Bernard and the crew. Maybe I'll just forward him this post... It's a mix of Joe Phillips, somebody else, and my article comes last. I don't really know what's going on...
With the Ornettes I have given up on the vinyl and go for the 'Beauty Is A Rare Thing' CD set. Heresy, I know..
I have all but To Whom Who Keeps a Record on LP. Most are stereo, and sound good enough to me. Plus, all of them were less than $10.
On deck:
Sunny Murray & the Untouchable Factor - Charred Earth - (Kharma)
Billy Bang Survival Ensemble - New York Collage - (Anima)
The Sunny: more boring than I remembered; the Bang: more amazing than I recalled...
