I forgot Glen Moore was in that band. He's great in a bass quartet with Peter Warren on Enja, Bass Is, that also features contributions from Surman, Corea and Stu Martin among others. I was hoping Oregon would be a bit more psychedelically "open" than it actually was (at least to these ears), but maybe it's time for another listen.

That McLean AdLIb went for almost $5G. WTF?

No, the JR shit is stone cold hip...

It has been a bit, but I remember liking the Lutoslawski a lot. For some time, it was hard for me to appreciate SQ's, until my friend suggested that it was like a classical version of a working band. That helped, even in my naivete.

Happy Birthday Jim! Believe it or not, you are keeping me on my toes!

Wow. This is sad news, and I can only echo other members' sentiments. I always enjoyed reading his thoughts, though never spoke with him on a personal level. Obviously a strong soldier. May he rest in peace.

I was just listening to him on Blown Bone... sad news indeed! Thanks for the music, Mr. Davern, and RIP.

Some free jazz records, some punk/indie records... you know the drill.

I KNOW you be havin' a good time in SF...

Right. I wouldn't argue that the Ric Colbeck record is a historical "best" but it's certainly one of my ten favorite jazz records.

Wow, I actually thought Tyner was older than that... Anyway, here's to many more. It was a pleasure seeing him in Austin recently.

I hear what you're saying. I suppose I'm in the "under 30" for a month or so longer, as it is. That said, though I do have a 6-eye of KOB, it's not among my desert island discs. I have 3 out of those 10 listed, and have listened to a bit of a 4th.

I wouldn't buy from someone I didn't trust, and this looks a little sketchy in the grading department...

Yeah, an interesting and honest list to be sure. No "hipster" about it - mine would include some oddball ringers and no KOB!

I believe this is Walter Perkins' last recording: Bob Feldman - Triplicity

Yeah, Sel is in on it and they had it remastered and there's an extra track or two on the final edition.

Sel at Paris Transatlantic

Amazing LP, and good to see that this long-awaited reissue is finally out. I didn't think it was all that valuable a record, though, in terms of "eBay wallet damage."

Ditto.

Livin' Not much is "unequivocally" good, but my bias leans toward family, health, music, art, books, a double short Americano with the right amount of crema, and a few other things...

Another great Wilber Morris Trio is the one with Charles Tyler & Denis Charles on Blue Regard called "Collective Improvisations". Thanks! Don't have that one...

I think Aggie's mind was in the gutter for a sec! Valerie has some great stories, and I know what you mean (and that you weren't insinuating any crap)... There is a KD festival in Austin that happens on his birthday. Sadly, I was too busy to make it this time around. Maybe next year!

I can't keep it all straight... that whiskey last night didn't help, either.

The ESP CD licensing fiasco was/is pretty astounding. Stollman talks about it a bit here: Stollman at AAJ I'm not surprised the Abraxas were needle-drops; to my ears, the Calibres I've heard have sounded fine. Of course, the new ESP reissues are great, though much of what they are concentrating on is archival/new material.
