Actually, I realize there is a potential audience for the supplies. A number of older writers refused to switch from typewriter to computer, so maybe through the author's guild or something you could offer the stuff.

I assume it was recorded at Hi Studios?

Maceo Parker Fred Wesley Pee Wee Ellis

First time I ever heard of him was on a Charles Tolliver album. He's been in Europe so long he's sort of off the U.S. radar. I think he succeeded Tootie Heath as the straight-ahead drummer of choice for guys like Kenny Drew and others.

I believe RCA may have released Forms & Sounds at the same time as Bill Dixon's Intents & Purposes, kind of a free jazz meets contemporary classical thing. The Dixon album is much more successful. I guess this pairing makes sense, though, now that both albums are part of the same big, happy corporate family.

Umberto D. Chuck D Dee Alexander

That was one big voice.

Adolphe Sax Peter Brotzmann Bob Brozman

Bela Lugosi Bela Fleck Stuart Flexner

Slide Hampton Hampton Hawes Anthony Trollope

I never would have guessed. Where does that fit chronologically with your pursuit of blues, soul/R&B and gospel?

That's weird--I thought I was responding directly after John McLaughlin. Anouar Brahem Ibrahim Ferrer Abraham

For me it was a 10-lp set on Roulette that had a bunch of stuff from the Roulette and Roost catalogues. It was in the family collection and I discovered it when I was maybe 10 or 11. I remember Bird's Crazeology being one of the tracks that floored me. For a while my brother worked a menial job at Columbia Records and would get Columbia Special Products versions of what I believe were then out of print LPs (we're talking ca. 1967. I remember Miles at the Blackhawk and Mingus Dynasty, which sold me on Mingus. I bought that one specifically for Green Dolphin Street, which I believe Hal Jackson (or was it Frankie Crocker) used to play a lot on WBLS. I wrote a review of it for my Freshman Comp class in '73.

Yes that was me. I love all four of Handy's Columbia albums. When I met Donald Elfman at a Joel Forrester gig I told him how thankful I was when he released them all on Koch Jazz, which I believe was the first CD release for some if not all of them.

I just noticed this today, and it seems like a great deal for offline storage of music files. Amazon is now offering unlimited storage of mp3 and aac files with any paid cloud drive plan, and that includes the $20 a year 20 gig plan. I decided to jump on it and am now uploading the 225 gig of music on my hd. So regardless of the plan, mp3 and aac files don't count toward your storage limit. edit: I guess I've been under a rock. This has been operative since last July.
