Yes, from what I have been able to ascertain. There are two subsequent volumes.

I don't have it and it's incredibly rare, but this one also comes to mind: https://books.google.com/books/about/Jazz_record_book_Free_jazz.html?id=KAcnHQAACAAJ Includes thumbnail images of all titles mentioned in the book.

Wonderful interview, thanks.

Thanks!

Some people seem to be living in an alternate reality, and this expurgator is certainly one of those...

I don't agree with his political/social views at all (i.e., homophobia and anti-abortion) but I do think he is a fantastic saxophonist and musician. The "Streets" persona was not in full view on the occasions I saw him perform. It's unlikely he will perform or record again due to ongoing health issues but I could be wrong about that. For what it's worth I interviewed him several years ago and found him to be a very kind man and an affable, intriguing conversationalist.

Nice! Who else is in the band, other than Dennis & Sangrey?

Just seeing this now -- too bad. His first LP on Takoma is swell.

Yeah, that's what Mtume told me too regarding how the S/E business model worked.

Descendants is a great record. I too need to scoop a copy of this.

good piece, thanks for sharing.

cool -- I have a reissue of the quartet record he did with Bob Berg for Union but that's all (nice album).

I'll pick up this new BBE session -- have originals of his earlier leader albums. My Dear is a favorite in particular, but they're all strong and quite varied in subtle ways. Am intrigued by the dates with Mal and have 'em in my Discogs wants, but have yet to hear them... of course his work with Yamashita is incredible.

Indeed! Also worked with Pärson Sound etc.

Frontier was Jordan's scuttled label (where all the Dolphy Series LPs were originally destined to go), and that is possibly the case, yes.

Yeah, it depends on the drummer I guess. Snooze, a trio with Billy Hart and Cecil McBee, is quite strong.

Like the clip I heard on NPR very much. Will definitely be picking up the CD. Hopefully not as bass-boomy as other recent Impulse! CD titles (Monk; Blue World).

Not lost. My guess is that the materials were unprocessed, or perhaps a section of the archives was not given item-level cataloging. It really depends and is no fault of the archives/archivist, especially given the sheer size of the NYPL PAA collections.

yeah, Clint Houston. She is on his record Watership Down as well, which is good.

Yes, there was the Top of the Gate and the underground space. My parents saw Miles there I believe, and that was in the big basement area.

yeah, well, I think the CVS next door as the underground portion is below the pharmacy. But for all intents and purposes that's correct.

I don't. Wish I did. Seems to be a rather recent development, as I've been emailing with other users.

Not sure if this has been noted elsewhere, but the European Free Improvisation Pages from Sheffield University seem to be done for. I feel like it wasn't that long ago they were still up and running... the John Stevens sessionography being a crucial linked pdf among many other tidbits. https://efi.group.shef.ac.uk/ Anyone on the other side of the pond know what is up?

I noticed some dropouts on the tape in the second half. I don't know if such issues precluded it from being issued in the first place, or if tape damage occurred later. Judging by its short running time and alternate versions of the longest piece on the date, if anything was slated it would have included material from this and another session.

Yeah, this is JUST what the doctor ordered. Halfway through at the moment and I'm digging it immensely.
