Yes indeed. Soundscape was definitely part of the loft scene.

Manolete Man o' War Patton

Jason Kidd Joel Youngblood The Coasters

Edward G. Robinson Little Caesar Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx

Thurman Munson Amelia Earhart Buddy Holly

Are you looking strictly for recommendations of recordings made at the NYC lofts, or for recommendations of recordings by musicians who played in the NYC lofts?

Champagne Charlie Joe Marsala Be Bop Wino

Fats Domino: Boogie Woogie Baby (Ace)

Melvin Sparks The Famous Flames Arthur Brown

To me, he's still a better businessman than musician.

Cozy Eggleston - a great one Warren Lucky Johnny Board Fats Noel Al King Tab Smith

Perhaps Mr. Sanborn will be remembered as a businessman after he's been forgotten as a musician.

Bertha Butt The other Butt sister Chico Marx

How 'bout: Julian Dash and Noble "Thin Man" Watts

Henny Youngman Kid Thomas Lassie

Cat Anderson Hound Dog Taylor Lieber & Stoller

Santa Battaglia Ignatius J. Reilly Burma Jones

I usually read the in between posts, unless it's a long time in between. Then I just read the last few. There are times when I get a laugh out of the transitions and connections.

Eric Dolphy: Vintage Dolphy (GM) Overall, relatively minor Dolphy, although his "Iron Man" improvisation is impressive. The third stream cuts are not my thing, although I can imagine that others might enjoy them more than I. The "Donna Lee" jam strikes me as pretty much a curiosity. I was annoyed with Martin Williams' liner notes. I can take his stuffiness, but his unwarranted attack on John Coltrane turned me off completely. A good critic doesn't build up one musician (Dolphy) by attempting to tear down another (Coltrane). And it's especially noxious when the two musicians were good friends. I guess it was just another uncalled for attempt by Williams to justify his dislike for Coltrane's music. Williams might have used the space to give his readers some information on Edward Armour who plays trumpet on the Dolphy Quartet sides and who, except for a few recording sessions, is a relative unknown, at least to me.
