It's on Spotify: That was the year I started going to jazz shows (not counting hearing but not seeing Miles at a Schaeffer concert in 1970 or '71, hanging out with my friends outside the rink). In February of that year I saw the Mingus and Friends concert, so my hands are on at least 2 records from '72. There was a piano room at the Village Gate, on street level, that had no cover and no quiet policy. Two pianists who were able to cut through the noise were Harold Mabern and Benny Green.

Well, I was definitely at the July 6 show, as I distinctly remember Buckner & Mingus, and Mayfield was on that night. I may have been at another night too, or I may just be remembering the LPs!

No, he played with his own band, about a 20-minute set after 1AM. The jams ran, IIRC, from 11PM-1AM. Part of his set was released on this album: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Newport-In-New-York-72-The-Soul-Sessions-Vol-6/release/1838962

My hands are on the record. I think I was at two of the Radio City jams, at the tender age of 16. At the end of one of them Curtis Mayfield came out to play the music from Superfly, which had just been released--apparently since the shows were being recorded for Buddha and they were also releasing or distributing the soundtrack.

The "once again" was general, not directed at you specifically. I've pointed out a number of times sites that don't allow hot linking, so nobody else will see the image. If I'm browsing at home, I should be able to see any valid image (it's more complicated at work where certain types of source sites are blocked). The reason you can see the image is because it's linking to your cached version that your computer picked up and stored in a temp file when you first browsed the image. The "cache effect" is a reason folks don't realize that their images aren't showing to everybody. But I remember that rateyourmusic is definitely a site that doesn't allow external linking (to protect their bandwidth). Another popular site for google image results that don't work is impawards.com. That's why when I'm posting album covers I'll usually look for it on Amazon, since I know the link would work.

I'm guessing an exit to the street in addition to the intra-residential doorway.

Once again, rateyourmusic images are not hot linkable, so at least provide the text. Mother Goose Eugene Goossens Eugene the Magical Jeep

Let me know if you do. The guy working the door that night is a friend, and he can point me out.

A great NY band of the '80s that overlaps with Skeleton Crew was George Cartwright's Curlew, which seemed to take influences of the more jazz-oriented Canterbury bands, Prime Time, and No Wave. I went to London in '09 for Ornette's Meltdown Festival, and besides getting to see Robert Wyatt sing a couple of songs with the Liberation Music Orchestra, I got to meet him in the Lobby of the theatre the night before, when Ornette performed with Frisell as a special guest. I told Wyatt that the chance to see him perform was one of the reasons I flew from NY. It was a great week--the BFI had a program of films by and with the eccentric writer B.S. Johnson, and I saw Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in Waiting for Godot.

Not only are the ribs great at Bryant's, so are the fries. I also had a great steak at the Plaza III when I was there, about 10 or so years ago.
