The Arkestra at Big Ears in March

He was just here in the Bay Area. I should have gone, but I have seen him quite a few times. He's always good.

Excellent new album, produced by Don Dixon (drawing of a young James by Ken Kesey)

Bees And Seas (The Best Of Slobberbone)

Oh - OK, I'll check it out! Not sure that after 40+ years it will "ring any bells", but worth watching anyway!

Thanks, David. That video says it's from 1985. The show I saw was 4/12/81.

Thanks for the suggestions. I figured there would be few options. I'll keep my eyes open and try to find a good donation source. Nauck's look intriguing, too

"Live" is pretty excellent, too. I was at the Great American Music Hall in SF for the April 12 show, too

Listening to the recent Bobby Hutcherson box. One note: I have about 20 Mosaic black box sets that all live in the same location of my living room. It receives direct sunlight during certain seasons, but NONE of the boxes have ever faded in the least bit ... until this one. I just noticed it today. They must have different type of black paper that covers the cardboard. Anyone else notice this?

Would love to see those shows. Saw a similar Threadgill fest like this at Big Ears last year. Every show was great!

I saw them a couple of times in Santa Barbara in 1973 - Rob Gym and the Bowl. It was Blondie's band in those days.

Been revisiting Jethro Tull recently

Sat in on Mary's Bandcamp listening party for her new album today. Sounded great, so I pre-ordered it.

Saw Rudolph, Liebman and Hamid Drake at the NYC Winter JazzFest 2019. Good show! He was at Big Ears this year, but I didn't get a chance to see him.

Went to this show, waited a few hours past when he was supposed to hit the stage. Finally went home about midnight. RIP, Sly!

I still have a collection of 78s that belonged to my parents. Anyone have suggestions about "disposing" of them? I asked the buyer at Amoeba if they buy them, and he said "No". But I don't want to throw them away.

Braxton/Fei - 10/17/21 in SF, Other Minds Festival

I thought I was done with Mosaic (nothing bad, just trying to reduce box "clutter"), but this is an interesting turn of events. Haven't heard all these albums, but there IS some really good stuff there.

Actually, I don't know. Probably.

"Oar On, Penelope!" by The Minus 5 [seeing them on Wednesday]

Nice!
