  1. Now, didn't The Rajah have one of those goofball LT-series covers? I'll try to find it on LP if I can. I've got a number of 60s Mogie dates, but could always use some more fine ones.
  2. Better than The Sidewinder. Guy Yes, that really is a disappointing record for me. I was really bummed when I got that one home. To each their own...
  3. Guess just track 10 is from that gig. It might be Cameron Brown on bass, but I'll have to look tonight.
  4. Is this the '64 Berlin concert? That's good shit.
  5. Thanks. Going to the Rainbow is one of the ones I was thinking of, though I don't have it. Some of that Mad Rockers crap has el-p on it, too, right?
  6. Same here, same cover condition I'll bet too. It's a fantastic record.
  7. Yeah, Solo Piano - that's serious business. Those early Ellis sides are great, including the Candid. Was just spinning the great Pacific Jazz session, Essence (w/ Paul Bley) the other day.
  8. I live just a few blocks from there, but have never eaten there. So 's good? Sometimes I find there's spice in everything that I order and it's a bit too much. . . . But with careful ordering, it's a soulful eating experience. Try it out! Thanks for the recommendation. I mean, I can walk there, so... seems like a good idea. Glad you and the missus had a good 4th of July feast; I ate stir-fried shrimp, pasta and steamed broccoli with my parents before watching the Houston fireworks.
  9. I understand what you're saying, but I get a hell of a lot more out of say, SY, Dinosaur Jr., etc. now than I ever did in high school, when that music was at its zenith. I don't really think about how great getting stoned in the back parking lot listening to "Suck You Dry" was when I throw on a Mudhoney record. Funny, too, I remember my dad playing Anthony Braxton recs when I was a kid, but listening to Conference of the Birds doesn't evoke recollections of homework at the kitchen table. To bring it more recently, I got into the Incredible String Band after college when I was living in New York. Now, my recollections of that time have nothing to do with ISB and all to do with the time/place outside of tastes. Also, I can't understand why I even listened to that shit, but didn't get rid of the albums for whatever reason... but anyway, I guess we're different in that respect.
  10. Yes - I love Jaki best when he plays solo. He takes the listener to all kinds of places! I think I might be with you there. Haven't heard this one.
  11. By the way, I think the idea of listening to music for purely nostalgic reasons hits a few nails on the head w/r/t Wilburys and the Dylan recs in question (indeed, many of his records are pretty damn questionable if you ask me). That's an entirely different reason to spin a disc than - say, edc or I do - but it's not a dealbreaker either. Just not my thing. Perhaps Cameron Crowe's... yecch.
  12. Mac 10 - yikes!
  13. I'm jealous, though he don't play bebop much these days...
  14. I'm jealous! Unless you let me make an offer...
  15. Thanks, info was forwarded to interested parties!
  16. It may be the case... but it's a very good record.
  17. Jazz Composers' Orchestra - Communication - (Dutch Fontana orig, gatefold)
  18. Archie Shepp - Three For a Quarter, One For a Dime - (Impulse orig)
  19. I live just a few blocks from there, but have never eaten there. So 's good?
  20. Yes, he took a wonderful shot indeed. Just talked to Archie the other day and he seems very well!
  21. There's got to be something Rolf Kuhn did in this vein. Admittedly, I take my Kuhn Brothers recordings with a more acoustic madness vibe, but...
  22. The last one with that band was solid, well-played music, though it didn't light any fires for me. Good, though.
