Ornette - Dancing In Your Head - (A&M Horizon)

Don Friedman - Metamorphosis - (Prestige orig) w/ Attila Zoller, Joe Chambers and Richard Davis.

That's a good one to pull out, for sure!

My that isn't cheap. I hope I can figger out a way to get one and not have to reduce my "other records" budget!

Yes indeed... people tend to categorise him with the "Free" thing, but his trio with Denis Colin and Noel McGhie is certainly across the boundaries!

Yeah, at the risk of sounding like a poopy-pants, I kind of agree with you. Those original jackets were great! I think one reason why they're doing this is to differentiate these issues from the Calibre/Abraxas/ZYX versions that have been floating around over the years.

Yeah, I need that one too... I do like the BN's a lot but understand they are "different."

Yeah, but have you seen "Wednesday" lately?

Indeed. I picked up a disk of his during the Tower close-out sale that impressed me, but better still is this 50-minute track with Johnny Dyani that I found on emusic... http://www.emusic.com/album/Per-Henrik-Wal...d/10842588.html Yes - Burning in Stockholm on Atavistic/UMS - fine indeed!

No, the original artwork is that which was used on the Abraxas CD. I have a soft spot for it, mouth-open-singing and all!

Cooper-Moore (then Gene Ashton) played the instrument as a sideman on saxophonist Alan Braufman's Valley of Search (India Navigation). Also in attendance were Cecil McBee, and drummers David Lee Jr. and Ralph Williams.

Kent Carter - Solo - (Sun Records) Also featuring Claude Bernard, alto and Michele Marcus, flute, along with Carter overdubbed multiple times. So, it's obviously solo...

Enjoy more ESP CD's on your B-day!

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...

Glenn Branca - The Ascension - (99 Records) Gotta love those guitar armies!

"A Bicycle Built for Two" perhaps?

My copy of the Paris date sounds rather good, fwiw...

Yeah, that rec is great, and the liners are totally hilarious... Thanks for the story, Chuck. A classic.

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...

Yeah, good way to go out if you ask me...

High school champ, iirc...

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.

Right. There's more material than was issued on this disc, actually. Quite a bit more.
