AllenLowe Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) in about 1969 I recorded a session at KCR with my high school quartet (had Joel Perry on guitar and Paul Kimbarrow on drums; nice band) - I think we did Sandu, not sure. Years later we tried to find the tapes and we found that KCR had just wiped a whole lot of stuff from the '60s (including a John Coltrane at the Vanguard set that people were very upset to see disappear; if I had to make a judgment I would place the disappearance of that one a little bit above me playing at age 15) - and yes, my tape was gone too. I would kill to hear that stuff again (it was actually the same band that we opened for Eubie Blake with at his comeback concert in Brooklyn, but that's another story).

Hardbopjazz Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 Ben Young and students talk about this project. link Quote
MartyJazz Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks for the link. Saw Ben Young there but only recognized his voice as he's changed much (as I surely have) since I used to visit WKCR and share my own private tapes on a few nightly broadcasts some 35 or so years ago. I taped many WKCR broadcasts back then and I have quite a bit of material that I've yet to convert to CD-R or any other digital medium, including performances by CIRCLE (Corea, Braxton), Gunter Hampel, Beaver Harris, Lonnie Hillyer, Paul Jeffrey, Lee Konitz, Jimmy Lyons, David Murray, Lester Bowie, Don Pullen, Sam Rivers, Cecil Taylor, Charles Tyler, Bennie Wallace, our fellow member Michael Weiss, a fabulous poetry reading by Amiri Baraka, and more. Dan G some years ago thankfully converted my tape of a terrific WKCR broadcast by JR Monterose with Sal Nistico. Quote
