I dunno, I always wanted mine to ring "Ghosts" - never will I tire of that theme!

Seigfried Kessler - At the Gill's Club Barre Phillips - For All it Is (I know Journal Violone is beautiful, but this one smokes!) Derek Bailey - Improvisation (Cramps - anybody heard the one on Morgue?) Marion Brown - Three for Shepp Rolf & Joachim Kuhn - Impressions of NY Eje Thelin - Acoustic Space Joe McPhee - Tenor Art Ensemble of Chicago - People in Sorrow Muhal Richard Abrams - Levels and Degrees of Light Roscoe Mitchell - Sound New York Contemporary Five - Volume 2 (Sonet) Duke Pearson - Sweet Honey Bee Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land Teo Macero - Teo (Prestige) Jimmy Giuffre - Thesis (yeah, I know I still need to get the double on Hatology) Keith Jarrett - Life Between the Exit Signs Ray Russell - Rites and Rituals Six Organs of Admittance - Compathia Drive Like Jehu - s/t

I think the word 'pot' is the operative one here...

Jean-Philippe Blin Trio (feat. Francois Mechali on bass)... nicely melodic piano trio on Futura, sounds a little like that Steve Kuhn on BYG. Doesn't hurt that there's a naked chick on the cover, either...

Oh, I thought at first you meant debating your own choices.. As for 5 or 6, I say 'gimme Elton Dean!'

Elvin Jones - Heavy Sounds (w/ Richard Davis) Curtis Fuller - Blues-ette Perry Robinson - Funk Dumpling Hank Mobley - Roll Call Kenny Dorham - Trompeta Toccata Alan Shorter - Orgasm Jaki Byard - The Jaki Byard Experience Dave Burrell - High Charles Brackeen - Rhythm X Joanne Brackeen - Snooze Pharaoh Sanders - Tauhid Milford Graves - Babi Graham Collier - Down Another Road Tony Oxley - The Baptised Traveller Terry Riley - Persian Surgery Dervishes Gong - Camembert Electrique Soft Machine - Fifth Julie Driscoll - 1969 Steve Reich - Music for Eighteen Musicians Mauricio Kagel - Exotica

It's a burn of a booted LP test pressing that Mole Jazz got their hands on several years ago - I believe it was originally supposed to come out on CBS or Polydor. Mole pressed up about 350 of the LPs, I think, and they go for a fair amount of dough so it's probably worth it to get this. Mole also did a 'test pressing' boot of a Chris McGregor record from the same period, trio and quintet. Cheers, CT

Gigi Gryce...

Doesen't Garbarek have an LP on a Scandinavian Columbia imprint from the late '60s as well? I seem to recall seeing this LP offered somewhere before...

Addendum to previous response: Of course, just because a parcel of LPs hasn't arrived in the mail doesn't mean I'm not going to troll around for more!

Much to my girlfriend's chagrin, Richard and Mimi Farina "Memories" (Vanguard), the final LP in the trilogy. Funny, she enjoys free jazz but hates folk music... needless to say, I've been enjoying it when she's not around.

A true classic... though I never understood why they broke up the suite on Side 1, throwing section two onto Side 2 and all.

Wait, you saw Getz at a Burger King?

Was it worth it? What was the poison of choice? :rsmile: ← Anchor Steam and Bloody Marys. Not sure if it was worth it, but I recall having some good times, I think.

I'm better than I used to be, but I still don't digest as much as I should... Boxed sets are another problem: I've only made it through about two CDs of the Ayler and Lyons boxes, and I've had both since they came out!

I'm willing to bet King Crimson. Lark's Tongues In Aspic is pretty out...

Once I get over my hangover, I will go outside and check it out. Appears to be upper 60s and windy.

Word...

Yeah, I think the twofer CDs mimic the arrangement of those double LP sets - AEC, Moncur, Shepp, Murray and Ra are the ones I've seen. I thought those came out later once the originals were OOP. In fact, don't they have yellow-and-orange labels?

(The Original) Sonny Boy Williamson - King Biscuit Time (Arhoolie) Raw!

Yeah, what was up with the day counter? Man, Ralphie, you've already aged three days in one! Earth days, that is... Happy day!

Your Prayer - Frank Wright, Arthur Jones, Jacques Coursil, Muhammad Ali, Steve Tintweiss (ESP)

Yeah, Sound is a wonderful album title - especially considering the era and the aesthetic the AACM were going for. Also good is Levels and Degrees of Light (which, by the way, is a motherfucker of a record). Other serious(ly) good album titles: Sonny Sharrock - Black Woman Frank Wright - Uhuru Na Umoja Bill Dixon - Intents and Purposes And I've always been slayed by Afrodisiaca - both the title and the cover concept, not to mention the music...

Yes, there was a Charly twofer that combined Yasmina and Poem for Malcolm - I believe it's from the early '90s. Probably could find it used pretty easily... Yasmina is an amazing record, both the orchestra and the small group with Mobley (doing a tear-up of Moncur's "Sonny's Back").

Dewey Redman - Redman & Blackwell in Wilisau Albert Manglesdorff - Tension Burton Greene Quartet (ESP) Keith Tippett - Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening Amalgam - Prayer for Peace Revolutionary Ensemble - The Psyche Bill Evans - Undercurrent (w/ Jim Hall) Booker Little - Booker Little and Friend* Don Friedman/Atilla Zoller - The Horizon Beyond
