Different birds.

I find it hard to believe that chewy would call the Jim Zitro ensemble or Donald Garrett's work "West Coast Jazz." Maybe his definition is REALLY, REALLY broad, however...

...or Tungsten!

I actually think it's for real.

Have heard very little Nels Cline, though I would say I'm pretty into his brother Alex. Could you tell us a bit about this record?

Yeah, that's a beautiful one. Better than I remembered it, too. Me and my tin ear!

Lot of good records from the 80s, though maybe not of "fusion."

I guess with hardbop, as with a lot of free music too, I do feel diminishing returns are (and have been) a more regular outcome than they "should" be. For me, it's certainly not a matter of "concept" (that often works only insofar as the concept is played out), and I do feel that there are a lot of gems within hardbop, free jazz, and whatever else. Maybe I'm confusing consistency with sameness, or maybe I just have a tin ear.

It's a beautiful record, but one I haven't listened to in some time. It is very intense, but not in the way some equate with "free jazz." You should get it, Swinger. It may change the way you think.

Kalaparusha - Humility - (Delmark) Guess I hadn't listened to side one in a while... forgot how out the vocals were!

I love Crescent now more than I ever had before. These reasons have been detailed somewhat elsewhere on the board...

That was released on LP by Blue Parrot, no?

The poster!

Yeah, I hate the sound of it, but it is sometimes quite the relief to engage in the act oneself...

I know this may dovetail with a certain other thread, but if they can't at least make the effort to dig the music, it's hard to see what they could dig in me...

For a sec I thought you were talking about the Spearman band, but then realized you meant something entirely different! Can't speak for ScoGoJoh but if anybody is in the place to do such a project, it is probably DeJohnette.

White Magic - Dat Rosa Mel Apibus - (Drag City) Getting progressively better over its four sides, this is a virgin spin...

That "sameness" is the impression I've gotten from Silver's work of the '60s, anyway. Not so much the case with the '50s, as certain things were taking off. This has been my problem with Blakey recs as well, maybe even moreso - tho there are some serious standout ABJM sides for sure.

Not that I know shit about Horace's discog., but the one I've consistently enjoyed is Further Explorations. I believe that one's from '58. I have very few of his recordings, though.

How do you think I got a record collection?

I have the Ertunc and the Musra, but this one eludes me! I really like the others a lot...

A number of Andrew Hill sides, esp. Andrew!!! and Compulsion. Big yawn!

No unissued material on the Select. It includes the three albums that originally came out on vinyls plus the two sessions that made up the 'Comin' On' CD. OK, thanks. Got all that. Comin' On is very fine as well!

I wasn't really working. I was there to book studio time with Rudy. Was this the Chuck Nessa-J.R. Monterose duo?
