    As Allen said. I knew his health had gone quite downhill but I still hoped to see him play again. Alas, it was not to be. Fascinating character and a truly wonderful musician. Glad I got to be here when he was.

    yeah, neat stuff but requires a special mood. I think I've spent more time with the single LPs (inc. Black Marigolds) than the box.
  3. clifford_thornton
    yeah, got that and the AMM thing too. The AMM session is super. But yes, if you know where to look, it's around. Board rules I believe prohibit specific sites from being mentioned but the stuff is "out there."

    Nice. I actually discovered recently that my Poetry & Jazz 250 is signed inside the box by Garrick -- the autograph was obscured by an inlay that I hadn't taken out.

    Pretty good album that I oughter pick up one of these days...

    it's a Berlin Jazztage live thing that was floating around at one point.

    This footage is fantastic. I do hope more surfaces as well.

    Bars is the trio of Bluiett/Melis/Moye. It goes there.

    The Vista is strong for sure, and not at all a "wall" record. I'm sure you can find a vinyl copy. the Schiano is somewhat rare but it does pop up on discogs.
  10. clifford_thornton
    Melis is really interesting. Not only the Black Saint and Vista LPs, but Hamiet Bluiett's Bars (which he wrote & arranged, mostly) and half of Mario Schiano's Sud (as the Bluiett).

    I've heard it and couldn't get into it, and felt there was very little Budimir to be observed (compared to the Revelation sides). For completists only, but YMMV.
  12. clifford_thornton
    correct. The PJ compiles tracks from Tension and Now Jazz Ramwong.

    Mine arrived last week but I was out of town. Just cracking into the single disc and it does not disappoint!
  14. clifford_thornton
    Yes, I have it -- very good.

    Dead stock copies surface from time to time; can't see a luxe reissue being absolutely "necessary" at this point, but it's an awesome record and shouldn't be too impossible to find in some form or another.
  16. clifford_thornton
    Yes, BGP/Ace owns the Flying Dutchman catalog.
  17. clifford_thornton
    Both of those LPs are incredible.

    I love the rave party-animal energy coming from that digital flyer. He has always seemed to me like a rather far out dude, and I love his music.
  19. clifford_thornton
    Agree, it's excellent. Funny story about him flogging copies to collectors for hundreds of dollars (I think of it as maybe a $40 LP).
  20. clifford_thornton
    Weird. I did look in a couple of 1967-era album jackets (pre-accident) and it does look like him, before he grew his hair long and started wearing shades.
  21. clifford_thornton
    Cool. I'm interested to watch this as well.
  22. clifford_thornton
    I like that one. I wish I could connect with Foster's 70s big band work a bit more. Tried several times and just can't get into it -- and certainly I'd say it's my ears, not his charts or the recordings.
  23. clifford_thornton
    Yes, Kleinschuster led the ORF big band in the 1970s/early 80s. I don't know Fehring at all.

    Nice RogueArt profile incl. a short bit about Singularity Codex on Bandcamp: https://daily.bandcamp.com/label-profile/rogue-art-label-profile

    Nice selection. Had the Yusef and sold it; have the Free Improvisation and Khan; have heard the Bajas... I'd probably buy the Boulez if I saw a European pressing in a shop. Looks good.
