Ever heard this Lp set? Flight Log-Jefferson Airplane It has some of those songs...from the side project bands. A nice little comp. "Flight Log" was an interesting collection at the time, but other than a live version of "Please Come Back" there's nothing new there. That "Fillmore East" album is pretty good. When I first got it, I thought it was too rough and sloppy. But the more I listened to it, it began to grow on me. I guess I was originally comparing it to "Bless It's Pointed Little Head".......which is incomparable. "30 Seconds ..." is hard to find? Hard to believe! It's not very good. Jefferson Airplane in its last throes.

Yes. Black Saint WAS the first Black Saint release. I would love to see Max Roach's 1977 album "The Loadstar" w/ Billy, Cecil Bridgewater & Reggie Workman released on CD (hel-looooooo Mosaic!). It's a killer album. Besides having it re-mastered, it would be great to have the each tune that comprises this 2 LP set (there are only 2) joined rather than divided over 2 sides of each disk.

JJJ - disk #4

This one happens to be quite spectacular, as well.

Let's see.......you don't like "Call of the Wild ..." (over 1/2 the album, time-wise) or the cowbell or Billy's "intense style", and you don't like the drumming. Doesn't leave much. Maybe you would be better off with Lee Morgan's final album. It has "Croquet Ballet" on it.

HELLyeah, Conn!

I'm on the "eMusic Plus w/20% Discount" annual plan. It's $140-something for a year's worth of 65 DLs/month. Plenty for me. While there are LOTS more albums I could download, I find that I don't listen enough to the ones I get.

Flipper Charlie the Tuna Ray Sharkey

"Live in Tokyo" and the "Slugs" sets (plus additional cuts) comprise the Mosaic Select set. An excellent collection for anyone who likes Tolliver.

Trio Beyond Troy Donahue Phil Donahue

FWIW, eMusic has 3 of Raney's Xanadu albums: Solo The Influence Live in Tokyo So, for $0.25 or less per song (depending on your plan), it's even cheaper than the CD.

They just added Enemy Records, so now there are a bunch of albums by Sonny Sharrock, Elliot Sharp, Defunkt, James Chance, and Last Exit (w/Brotzmann, Sharrock, Laswell and Ronald Shannon Jackson). If you're into downtown NYC jazz/noise-rock, this is good stuff.

Thanks. He's going to be playing at the SF Jazz Festival this Fall Season. I'll probably have to go.

Don Ellis - "At Fillmore" Maynard Ferguson - "MF Horn 4 & 5, Live at Jimmy's"

The Loosdrecht set was issued on CD by Black Lion as "Grand Max" and has the same tracks as the 2-LP set. Can probably be found in the used bins. I don't think it's that rare. As for "Paper Man" - definitely a keeper. Worth it for "Household of Saud" alone! But it's a must-have with Gary Bartz, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Joe Chambers. A veritable super-group.

Good ones, SS1!

... and tomorrow Paul McCartney is ...

The new sound of "Day-twah"!

Some of them do have the original liners. Larry Young for example. The Mosaic Selects have cover art, too.

Tom Verlaine tomorrow (Sat.) night. Should be VERY interesting.

FWIW, Gerald and his orchestra are partying down at Yoshi's on July 31, the final day of the Kenny Burrell 75th birthday bash week. Also includes Joey DeFrancesco and Hubert Laws. I have no idea how they are going to fit all those people PLUS a B-3 on that stage!

The "You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore" series has some pretty good live stuff covering his entire career.

Just downloaded Rahsaan's "Brotherman in the Fatherland" live album from 1972. Smokin'! If you want live Rahsaan at the top of his game, check this one out.

From today's NY Times: Frank Zappa's Family Brings His Music to a New Audience

Got mine yesterday from CDU. Listened to disk #1 - so far, so good. Great "live" sound, too.
