I now interrupt for a commercial.

I think it's in your three-dot toggle to the right. I too miss being whatever I was. Can I be something else?

Deal-able.

a fave. Had it but sold it finally -- just wasn't getting enough airtime. Nice record but as you say, the Bossa thing isn't really for me (even when done by Rouse or Sadao Watanabe). indeed he was and is. Glad I got to see him while he was still with us (and playing his butt off).

Yes! I hope someday we all get to hear the Dave Burrell-Sam Woodyard duets, originally planned for Horo release but scuttled as the label folded.

Too bad. RIP.

Have both on LP and they certainly are very deserving of reissue. The master tapes for Ichnos reside with a label owner and collector, but I don't know whether they are in usable condition. I'd like to see more John Stevens material but Emanem seems to -- rightly -- be slowing down and I'm not sure who could pick up the mantle. Once Alan Bates dies maybe we'll finally get to hear the double trio with Rashied Ali and more of the quartet with Carr, Clyne, and Watts, or the Peter Lemer "Local Colour" band with Stevens in for Hiseman.

I feel the same as you. It's really inspiring.

You know, I didn't know that. Never had the Lost Tapes. Of course he and Jake Liebezeit played in Manfred Schoof's group.

It has been reported that German saxophonist and flutist Gerd Dudek passed on Nov. 3 at age 84. An excellent player, he worked in the European Jazz Quintet and his own groups along with Albert Mangelsdorff, Manfred Schoof, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Peter Brötzmann, and many others.

Damn! Sad news. I was just thinking about him yesterday as a matter of fact. The OAC oral history is a stupendous read. https://oac.cdlib.org/view?docId=hb8779p537;NAAN=13030&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=div00014&toc.depth=1&toc.id=&brand=oac4

Got the CD upon release -- superb.

That cover art... it should be buried.

Agree, they're pretty unreal.

yeah, I caught that error and let him know. The PDF has been corrected and print will run a correction the following month.

Makes me think of the David Foster Wallace essay on cruises in "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again."

Guess I never paid any attention to later Brubeck -- Randy Jones is a name I hadn't associated with the pianist. The others I know.

It worked out fine for Ornette...

David Haney! Thanks, that's the pianist I was thinking of.

didn't pianist Bob Gluck buy the magazine?

yeah, they're all over the Northeast and NY. The story is actually kinda neat, though I gather a lot of those stickers are on cars whose owners have never listened to Alice Coltrane.

crazy stuff with Zappa writing new material in the green room, not to be outdone by McLaughlin & Co.. wow.

Third Man is legit, partly owned by Detroit's own Jack White. I'm sure these are licensed from the catalog owners. But yes, the yellow tint is gross. and to Pim's point, there was a late 90s Impulse 180g reissue of Black Unity that was done officially.

that yellow-green Ptah looks like barf.

yeah, even the LP is pretty uncommon. Strong record for sure.
