Terry Martin anthology?

[ghost of miles]

Recently, while doing some research for an upcoming show on J.R. Monterose, I came across a 1968 piece on the Chicago avant-jazz scene by Terry Martin. I've encountered his writing here & there for years & wondered if anybody--well, more specifically, those here on the board who count him among their friends and colleagues--knows if he has plans or hopes of publishing a collection of his articles and essays. A quick search on the Internet did not immediately yield any past titles by him.

A Terry Martin anthology would be a blessing. Though I don't know how much there is to chose from, everything I've read of Terry's is not only brilliant but also different/unique. In particular, there's great stuff on Coleman Hawkins, Art Pepper, and Ornette Coleman -- the last written not too long after Ornette emerged. I recall asking Terry about the likelihood of collecting his work, and I think he said that he had doubts about having the time and also felt that the time he did have would better be devoted to archival responsibilties/tasks at the Jazz Institute of Chicago/University of Chicago collection. Terry is on the faculty at the U. of C.

I would love having this stuff in book form - I'm weary of slogging through stacks of magazines to find the piece(s) I want (I don't have all of them). I understand Terry (probably my best friend) has other priorities but I regret the situation.

All the more reason to try and convince him to have them published in book form.

Maybe we'll have to stage an intervention.

Looks like it's not going to happen any time soon, but I'm another one who would be highly interested in reading an anthology of Terry Martin articles!
