Hans Dulfer & Ritmo-Natural - The Morning After the Third - (Catfish) Sick free Afro-Latin/yeh-yeh with Jan Akkerman, Arjen Gorter, Jan Jacobs, Appie de Hond, Paul van Wageningen, Steve Boston, and Groentjie. Dulfer is the shit!

Literally ! No! That appears to be where the problems START!

The paper does pay its contributors, actually, though one couldn't "live" on it. The site doesn't pay. I tend to go long in my reviews, but if hackles are raised, I edit them down and they tend to turn out a lot better. Haven't had any problems otherwise, so I guess I must be doing something right. Good luck, CJ, and let us know when your first slew goes live.

YES.

...and says a lot, too.

You Are Here, I am There - Polydor, 1969 Dean, Charig, Evans, Clyne, Marshall, Tippett Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening - Vertigo, 1970 Dean, Charig, Evans, Whitehead, Babbington, Gary Boyle, Tony Uta, Wyatt, Howard, Spring I like both of these quite a bit. He was doing a lot more than I was at 21!

Between the mommy and A&M, I'd say Funny Rat has gone into a totally different time zone.

I'm fond of Blueprint, as well as the Ovary Lodge records (which this essentially is). It's really spare - I mean REALLY spare - but the canvas can get pretty tumultuous at times, even when it seems like very little is going on. Of course, there are some waves of extreme density that, considering the barely-louder-than-the-pressing-noise quality of the quiet passages, makes for really seasick contrasts. Septober Energy is a solid record, though I don't find myself spinning it that often. Ambitious and noble, with some fine soloists and some great writing, even if it doesn't work all the time - I would say the same thing about Frames. The Tippett small groups are where it's at for me; I can dig equally on Ovary Lodge or the groups he led with Elton Dean, Mark Charig and Nick Evans. "Wa-hey!"

Hans Dulfer & Soulbrass Inc. - Live at the Bohemia Jazzclub - (Stichting) Great '69 greeeazze with a "free" edge. Dulfer, Gorter, Steve Boston, Rob Kattenburg, Herbert Noord and the great baritonist Henk van Es.

Yikes!

Yeah, I've read about those things. Heavy shit. But where's the "herat?"

"What's New" "Everything Happens to Me" (don't it?) and I'll second "Laura" Ayler doing "Summertime" is pretty unbelievable as well - that's the version of the song for me!

As long as you aren't/don't become a MILF...

I knew that was gonna go there!

That's a great set, mainly for the coffee-table book. The music is good too, though!

I have a mono UA-era blue and white of the Reece, which sounds okay, and a Toshiba of the Watkins (courtesy Allan Songer) that sounds excellent. Wouldn't mind at least a King mono of the Reece, but I can live for now...

Eh, just swap the tune titles from another Byrd/Adams date and see how it goes...

Huh. Yeah, it was on French Leo and done in '89, but you'd think Eremite could get some mileage out of a reissue. Then again, Leo is notoriously a very difficult person, and I've heard a few stories of his refusal to come through on promises (esp. regarding $$).

I rarely make it much past the first 3 sides of the triple Silva. It's a lot to handle, but it's good! Wonder if that Leo CD will ever see the light of day again?

Prince Lasha told me the same thing about Dolphy. The slight variant was that they grabbed his needles and insulin and locked him in a room, and by the time they realized what had happened, it was too late.

Shouldn't this be in the political forums? To many more, and thanks for all the great music and insights (political and jazzical)!

Luna Surface is from '69, though! The Rouen concert issued on Leo is a motherfucker...

And, for the '80s and '90s, the rest of his discography! The above is excellent, though I find myself pulling out Openhearted and The Gift of Fury a bit more...

Do I sense a theme here...?
