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

Sun Ra - Nothing Is (classic Gilmore solos there)...

I'm in the same situation as Chuck - but I do recall having 'fun' at his 'shows' before...

Sun Ra - Futuristic Sounds JR Monterose - The Message Peter Brotzmann - More Nipples Freddie Hubbard - Open Sesame Teddy Charles - Tentet Sunny Murray - s/t on Shandar Charles Moffett - The Gift Joe Henderson - Inner Urge George Russell - The Stratus Seekers Kent Carter - The Wilisau Suites

Man B, that is a good one - the cover says it all! And for the Gibby Haynes fanatics out there, lest we forget "Hairway to Steven!"

I think the idea of a review is a good one for some, as well as throwing in any links that might shed light upon the subject, such as interviews and what not. Context certainly makes the difference.

I have one coming up this fall that, oddly, I'm considering making a trip to. But yeah, Classmates appears to be intervening in that as well. Can't anybody do anything without some shithead middleman?

I'd have to go with "Revolt of the Negro Lawn Jockeys" as my favorite jazz title as well... although Brotzmann/Bennink "Half a Dog Can't Piss" (Eine Huber Hund Kan Nicht Pinkeln) gives it a pretty good run for the money. Hippie-ish as they might sound, I've also been partial to two Lungfish titles: "Talking Songs for Walking" and "Rainbows from Atoms." Good thread idea! CT
