Ben Tucker - Baby, You Should Know It (Ava mono). Not a masterpiece, but a nice little album, with Victor Feldman on piano and Larry Bunker on vibes and marimba as the main soloists.

That's a cool one. I've been listening to him a lot on Grant Green's "Green Street".

I've resolved to re-listen to the Mingus Jazz Workshop LPs in chronological order. So starting with the two Debut releases, live at the Cafe Bohemia in December of 1955, with George Barrow on tenor, Eddie Bert on trombone, Mal Waldron piano, Willie Jones or Max Roach drums).

Charles Mingus--Mingus (Prestige Fantasy double LP set).

SUN RA: LIVE IN PARIS AT THE 'GIBUS' " - Universe LP. Recorded Oct. 1973.

The dialogue printed on the inside of the gatefold cover between "Young Punk" and "Old Timer from the Year 2000" is really funny. Did Sun Ra write the dialogue?

The dialogue came from the pen of Delfeil de Ton, a witty politic (and jazz) writer who was a great supporter of Sun Ra's music.

DDT (as he is known) still writes a political column in the top French weekly 'Le Nouvel Observateur'. His column is a must read item in each week's Nouvel Obs'.

DDT has never recovered from the loss of Sun Ra!

That 'Sun Ra At the Gibus' originally came out on Atlantic France!

Thanks Brownie! That is very interesting. I can see why people read DDT: he delivers some pungent truths in a witty and humorous style.

I also did some Internet searches on the Gibus Club Paris, which has its own website. Looks like an interesting club, offering jazz, punk, rock and electronic music over the last 40 years. The photos inside the gatefold of Sun Ra at the club are extraordinarily evocative.

I bought this when it came out in 1968; have had it ever since and still play it every once in a while. Still sounds good! I'm not sure if that older vinyl was objectively better, but it always gives me that "viny-ly" feeling that I don't often get from the latest batch of 180 gram reissues, often remastered in a way that is not consistent with the way the band wanted to sound (not in all instances certainly).
