What's the great station?

I still haven't picked up this Warne/Joe, but it's next on the list--esp. after reading Joe's daughter's memoir.

going back to the living room CD - listen to Joe's playing on I Love You - absolutely incredible, indicating that, had he stayed healthy, Joe really might have taken Bud Powell's ideas to a new level -

[JSngry]

And what level might that have been?

[AllenLowe]

just a little bit closer to polytonality through chromaticism, an even freer sense of rhythm, a kind of controlled recklessness in terms of the line that even reminds me of early Cecil Taylor - unfortunately. and likley as a result of the ingestion of so many controlled substances, Joe could not maintain this level of playing -

Allen -- I think I hear some of that from Albany on that Art Pepper "Tribute To Charlie Parker" album from 1975, a Pasadena concert that somebody recorded not very well but well enough. The unlikely personnel, in addition to Pepper and Albany, is Sahib Shihab on baritone, Harry Babasin, and Roy Porter (where had the latter two, esp. Porter, been keeping themselves for the 20 or so years prior to '75?) In any case, there's some very wild (as in "controlled recklessness) Albany here IMO, and I think Pepper is in great form.
