Are there unissued tracks on the Select? I have all the aforementioned on LP (various Japanese issues). Yeah, the BNs are essential. I have not gotten as into the NJ session, but it may come.

Huh. So they obviously hadn't heard I Talk with the Spirits...

I still haven't found (much less seen) a copy of the Michael Cosmic LP on Cosmic, titled Peace In The World...

Yeah, I'm nitpicky about that one too!

...knowing full-well that bandstand-learning and life-learning are hugely important to one's growth. Oh, never mind...

Mats Gustafsson & Cie - The Music of Norman Howard - (Anagram) Really hoping ESP reissues those archival Norman Howard recordings soon... But for now, this will do - dense fire in the tradition of the best Scandinavian-American collaborations!

Sorry - that was somewhat off-the-cuff. I was referring to academic, or at least directed cultural study. Not bandstand-learning, necessarily.

Tony Oxley - Ichnos - (RCA-Victor orig) Haven't spun this madness in awhile...

Cecil Taylor - Unit Structures - (BN NY mono, ear and RVG)

Yeah, but some of us (myself included) could use a LOT more education...

Didn't realize they'd done the solo stuff...

I can relate. I write stuff for the site, but the bulletin board is not my cup o' whiskey.

Welcome to the days of the under-funded and under-appreciated.

I enjoyed the pictures.

D'oh!

"For a great blowjob visit..............." ...............Lydia Lunch Is this based on first hand knowledge? A reference to the film "Submit to Me," written by Lydia Lunch and directed by Richard Kern. It's pretty heavy art-mindfuck shit.

They do online ordering, or do I just send you a check?

Again, I would say that that cuts across racial lines, but I could be wrong. I am not a student of sociological research, or at least haven't done any w/r/t this music.

In all seriousness, though, the fact that racial divides exist within every subgroup is a given. Yeah, I'd rather it not be so, and to a degree some of these divides have been bridged. Music happens both in spite of and because of this divide. So jazz/creative music/improvisation is not wholly embraced by African-Americans, and I suspect it's for the same reason it's not wholly embraced by most of society. In other words, it is uncommercial. Again, a given, and we go from there...

Both, to answer the initial question. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman - objectively and subjectively speaking.

Thanks.

Can't go there with you... If you were to say "basically, the Jazz Messengers suck, except for a few of the early ones with Wayne Shorter, and maybe Buttercorn Lady," I might be able to follow you.

A classic!
