Yeah, the duo with Hooker is strong and always felt quite uncharacteristic to me in its out-ness.

There's a dropout or blip in the single disc of mine as the band is being introduced, but it does play through. Weird. Until the Coltrane debacle I thought defects were mostly limited to modern LPs!

The new PoD has an excerpt from Singularity Codex if you want to try before you buy: https://www.pointofdeparture.org/PoD84/PoD84Allen.html

can't wait to dive in! Congrats!

I am quite a fan of that band.

You know, I never got deeply into Chapin (not out of dislike, just never followed the threads) and could probably use some recommendations too. I do have his first LP on Alacra though he advanced as a horn player quite far from those initial recordings.

Thanks so much!

Yeah, I just saw this too. Major loss, wow. What a life!

Wow. 93 is something. Marion Brown, who would have turned 92 tomorrow, said this in an interview I did with him many years ago: [actually, Coltrane was on the Virgo/Libra cusp]

I realize that I forgot to mention two panels/readings/whatnot. It's been a crazy month for a lot of reasons, yeesh. One is TONIGHT at Village Works on St. Marks in NYC at 7PM with me, Matt, Yuko Otomo, and Carlo McCormick. The next one is at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn as part of an October 3 showing of the Steve Circuit (shorts by Matt Mottel & Yuko), and I will be on a Dalachinsky-related panel with the filmmakers and artist-vocalist Jean Carla Rodea. Both events are free and open to the public.

I was told by a close collaborator yesterday morning, but that the family wanted privacy to grieve. Last night, Eremite, who are working on co-releasing a recording of Charles, William Parker, and Milford Graves confirmed the news on social media.

😂 And yes, I too love all eras.

Fab sessions -- I wonder if they will improve on the sound? All I have are the old MP3s that were floating around.

As Allen said. I knew his health had gone quite downhill but I still hoped to see him play again. Alas, it was not to be. Fascinating character and a truly wonderful musician. Glad I got to be here when he was.

yeah, neat stuff but requires a special mood. I think I've spent more time with the single LPs (inc. Black Marigolds) than the box.

yeah, got that and the AMM thing too. The AMM session is super. But yes, if you know where to look, it's around. Board rules I believe prohibit specific sites from being mentioned but the stuff is "out there."

Nice. I actually discovered recently that my Poetry & Jazz 250 is signed inside the box by Garrick -- the autograph was obscured by an inlay that I hadn't taken out.

Pretty good album that I oughter pick up one of these days...

it's a Berlin Jazztage live thing that was floating around at one point.

This footage is fantastic. I do hope more surfaces as well.

Bars is the trio of Bluiett/Melis/Moye. It goes there.

The Vista is strong for sure, and not at all a "wall" record. I'm sure you can find a vinyl copy. the Schiano is somewhat rare but it does pop up on discogs.

Melis is really interesting. Not only the Black Saint and Vista LPs, but Hamiet Bluiett's Bars (which he wrote & arranged, mostly) and half of Mario Schiano's Sud (as the Bluiett).

I've heard it and couldn't get into it, and felt there was very little Budimir to be observed (compared to the Revelation sides). For completists only, but YMMV.
