Can't go wrong with Steve!

Pentangle "2.0", but still a very good album

Happy New Years!

A little late, but I finally got around to watching this doc. Much more interesting than I expected. And some great 'talking heads' (not the band) appearances by fairly obscure artists. I learned a lot about the development of the Free Jazz scene, too. I contributed to the Kickstarter campaign they ran several years ago and had forgotten that they promised a screen credit if you contributed at a certain level ($50 maybe?). I was actually there! 😎

Real interested in that set. I have some of those albums on individual CD, but there's obviously a lot more. Unique artist, for sure.

I'm going to the Strata-East show in NY in a couple weeks. Really looking forward to that. Helluva lineup!

Outstanding set. I got the Slugs' albums way back in the 70's and have always been favorites. McBee, Tolliver and many others will both be at the NYC Winter JazzFest tribute to Strata-East in a few weeks. Really looking forward to that show!

Definitely!

A couple of excellent Resonance releases

Yes. I miss them already. I have a small collection of notable shows that I have stubs for. No use in printing out eTickets, though. Not the same.

Last night was a good show for sure. A very tight band - they know what they're doing.

I couldn't find out anything, either. But there aren't any other "Steve Jordans" with a high enough profile to be in this show.

Thanks for that link. Will be seeing him next month at the NYC Winter Jazzfest: STRATA-EAST RISING A Landmark concert w/ Charles Tolliver, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart, Billy Harper, Christian McBride, aja monet, Endea Owens, Steve Jordan, Keyon Harrold, Camille Thurman +more TBA

Saw them last night

Had the good fortune to see her at Big Ears in 2022. She gave a very lively and heartfelt presentation. RIP

Another from the recently unearthed photos I took at Montreux Jazz 1978

I was at one of the shows the week they recorded that album. Everyone at the shows were given a voucher to receive the album when it was released. Never heard of anyone doing that before or since. Very special. Now playing:

You're right about Dick Allen. I always liked him, though. I remember at one point when he was playing first base and was heckled by fans, he would scratch "BOO" into the dirt next to the base with his cleat.

I lost track of them a long time ago, too
