Sort of like the marriage of FMP and ECM:

I'll go for : Masahiko Togashi, Steve Lacy, & J.J. Avenal, “Voices” (Transheart Japan/ABCJ 116) digipack w/ obi [trio]

Check this out, very interesting! Feldman Guitar Story I rather thought this would have to be an electric guitar, to achieve some of the modulation needed. As an aside, note someone describes Feldman as "the super chill composer"

Not an LP you see everyday either.

He's gonna be even more pissed when he finds out you've been calling him "Delmont" and not "Delmar" like his momma done named him!

Visiting with an old friend:

I felt bad saying that too, since I'm a fan in other ways. I think he'd be a powerful film maker if he didn't try to do everything. It reminds me of seeing Isaac Bashevis Singer on a talk show disowning Barbra Streisand's Yentl b/c she insisted on doing everything, including direction. Collaboration is important, especially when you're so close to the material you can't see obvious flaws (or strengths) that a partner could easily point out. I though Get on The Bus really good, though, with very believeable and well-formed characters. One of his best, maybe. That's a good point, but in this age of the auteur, probably not a popular point to hold. Great auteurs have great strengths, but often great weaknesses too. The nature of the beast. Anyway, in this respect, Spike reminds me of Woody Allen, who might also benefit from some artistic partnerships. Interesting to view Woody and Spike together. Very divergent films (indeed, one might say Woody goes to great lengths to expunge blacks from his films), but quite similar as film makers.

Really kind - thank you Bev! A charming interview with Mr. Hawkins (I assume done via email or questionnaire): Traveling Light

Sorry, I haven't used them myself. I've bought regularly from Sleeve City over the years, and I recalled they had something like what you wanted. You might give them a call or drop an email regarding your questions.

Kurt's screed is one of those kind where people from completely opposite ends of the spectrum will agree, each thinking the other side is the problem. Personally, I think Kurt should start by looking in the mirror.

I always thought it would be a great idea for someone to do an album of Albert Ayler tunes in the style of Jimmy Giuffre. Until I heard Joe McPhee do it on Oleo ("Astral Spirits"). This is definitely NOT in the style of Giuffre. ["Not that there's anything wrong with that" - Jerry, Elaine, George, Kramer]

Flaherty is much too under-sung. His praises should be sung more often and more loudly.

These look quite interesting. Current thoughts on them? I wonder if any of Feldman's piano music might be transcribed for guitar? I would think the guitar and the recording method would have to be carefully worked out to get the right attack and decay.
