I missed this one several times, ebay, private auctions, ecc.. Do you think I have to give it another chance? Yes. It is heavy.

Next up: For Example: Workshop Freie Musik 1969-1978 (FMP 3LPs box) Record #2: Different Groups Schlippenbach Trio Brotz/Van Hove/Bennink + Mangelsdorff Frank Wright Quartet Schweizer-Carl Quartet My flat-mate is out of town so the volume goes up!

Burton Greene Trio - On Tour - (ESP orig) Very hip, melodic free piano-trio music from Burton, Shelly Rusten and Steve Tintweiss. This and the Columbia are my favorites of his (ah yes, and the duos with Daoud Amin)...

I only watched the first two seasons (on DVD), and thought things were getting a bit lame midway thru season two. I loved season one, though - totally great. Thing is, it's gonna be hard to get through 3-6 by the time 7 comes around!

Sonic Youth - Confusion Is Sex - (SST pressing) The world does indeed look red...

How true, indeed.

Have to get this. Looks awesome. My Kagel fanatacism holds mostly to the late '60s work up through the '70s; Peter B did tell me he performed a piece of Kagel's but could not recall which work it was. I think he had a good time with it, but recalled not being really in the same vein as some of the other musicians/artists present.

Bill Cole, Sam Rivers, Warren Smith - The First Cycle - (Music from Dartmouth)

Wow. RIP And 2007 looks to be another tough one of musicians' passings...

RIP indeed. Though my experience with his playing is limited, heard many kind words from his peers. He will be missed.

I was having dinner last night at a local beer + burger joint (with the Crescent girl) and there was a lone guy answering every Jeapordy question loudly to himself. Not unlike your BN # recitation, I presume, or mine for ESP!

I used to have it on LP and was not impressed. Maybe another go-round would change things, but I think I'll skip the download method.

Thanks - I knew you'd know, probably without even looking!

"HBMF" usually translates to something different, but...

Yeah, those Japanese Riversides aren't too hot. Have had superb luck with the BNs (King & Toshiba), which almost make the Classic reissues - at least some of them - sort of superfluous. Then again, Japanese pressings of things like Hank (where's Michel with those catalog #'s?) are still big-ticket, for whatever reason.

He ain't gonna be buying no Classic reissues...

Sidewinder needs to get over here; he has quite a few of these, I think.

Guess I should burn it for 7/4 for his birthday!

Yeah, it would be nice to see it out again with the original artwork by Marte Roling! One of my favorite jazz LPs, for sure...

I had a dream about Grachan last night - that somebody was issuing more music from the quartet with Hutcherson, McBee and Beaver Harris. Sadly, there isn't any more than was issued (guess that's why it was a dream)...

Tears for Dolphy, brother.

This is the cover of the Esquire edition of 'Outward Bound'. Oops, that was the one I was thinking of. Thanks.

Happy Belated... Glad it was a good one. "7/4 Funny Time" is a great Ted Curson tune, btw, tho surely everyone here knew that.

I heard those places do exist. I have not seen one for myself as yet... Enjoy, and tell us what it's like!

The one LP I have with his work on it, a CP2/Zukofsky bit, has some stuff that reminds me of Silva's "Luna Surface." Needless to say, it's heavy. You know, I'd rather share a birthday with him than with Elvis anyway.
