I just came across this interview with Cecil Taylor and wanted to share it with anyone who might be interested. (Apologies if it's been posted here before.) http://wings.buffalo.edu/epc/authors/funkhouser/ceciltaylor.html

A few more inches of snow - and colder.

An overlooked gem.

Of the Woody Shaw that I've heard, that's my favorite.

Haven't been through that situation, so all I can say is that I'm sorry for what you and your family are going through and I hope that all works out as well as it can.

Good to read that. Thanks.

I went to school in Buffalo. I remember well that if Buffalo got hit, the "snow belt" (south of Buffalo) got buried.

Well, sort of. It's two sessions with different personnel mashed together, recorded by MPS, put out by Prestige. It's got part of Hip Walk. Carmell Jones in Europe 1965-66 Prestige 7669 Group A Carmell Jones- trumpet Nathan Davis- tnr,sop Francy Boland- p Jimmy Woode-b Kenny Clarke- d Group B Carmell Jones- trumpet Pony Poindexter- alto,voc Leo Wright-alto,flute Fritz Pauer-p Andre Condouant-gtr Jimmy Woode-b Joe Nay-d Annie Ross- voc Carmell’s Black Forest Waltz (A) Jumpin’ at the Woodside (B) That Kaycee Thing (A) B’s Blues (A) The Hip Walk (A) Twisted (B) Aha, so it's got part of the Annie Ross/Pony Poindexter session (recorded at the 10th German Jazz Festival). Now: Andrew White - Spotts, Maxine & Brown - (Andrew's Music) ripping take on "Dizzy Atmosphere" here. Has Andrew White retired from playing?

Again, glad you're off this week, Tom. Your old stomping grounds got off easy.

If you're looking at things from sociological/musical point of view, ok. From a strictly musical point of view, there was too much good music from that era to bother with BNs's 70's output. At least imo. I know you look at things differently, Jim. So we can agree to disagree.

Or how much each of them felt threatened by something new.

All I know is that certain record companies that reissue music originally released on 78s - Yazoo, Mamlish, Blues Image, Frog, Jazz Oracle - have issued LPs and CDs with very good sounding music. I have no doubt and it makes sense that the original 78s they've used as source material sound better than the LPs and CDs.

I'd look elsewhere - than 70's BN, I mean. But that's just me.

Less snow here (Hudson Valley) than they predicted. 3", maybe 4" at most so far. Another 1"-3" expected. And the snow is very light. Prediction yesterday afternoon was for 12"-18". I'm happy. I know that other areas are getting hit hard. Hope everyone there is safe and warm.

Any thoughts on Jeanne Lamon and Tafelmusik? Any further recs for St. Matthew?
