I'm happy to have all these Pacific Jazz sides

Loud Family "Interbabe Concern"

Saw her about a year and a half ago at Big Ears. Really good show!

McLaughlin and Cobham afternoon jam on the terrace at Montreux Jazz 1978

Tyshawn is the BEST. I've been able to see him quite a few times in the last several years.

Nice photo! Perfect ... actually 👏 I think Beat is playing in San Jose or somewhere like that later this year. Probably won't make that show.

Watched this interview with the members of Beat - a band that's playing mid-80s King Crimson albums. With Belew and Levin (who were in that version of KC) plus Steve Vai and Danny Carey from the band, Tool. Very interesting conversation about the current band and also Belew/Levin's experiences in the original band with Fripp and Bruford. I need to listen to Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair

Just discovered this album (I know - I'm probably late to the party). What a trio - fantastic!

The recent Bobby Hutcherson Mosaic box is tremendous!

Pyroclastic released one track from this forthcoming album. Interesting combination of musicians and the track makes me want to hear more.

He started posting a lot on Substack recently. Mostly about albums he listened to each day. Kind of out of the blue, since he's been kind of 'invisible' for many years. https://substack.com/@martywillsonpiper

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.
