for my money, unforgivable, the scum of the earth. Many people resisted. He now resides on my shi# list alongside Elia Kazan.

On Phil Woods I am with Larry, for my own reasons. Later Woods is like a bebop machine and his sound is studio redux. (I also can't stand Rhiannon Giddens, who is the darling of the NPR liberals who think listening to her - and the Chocolate Drops - shows their progressiveness.)

IIRC  (and I often don't) someone on this forum recently attended a Giddens concert and liked it.  So why do you gratuitously feel the need to insult them?  No one was even talking about her.   As someone  recently wrote : there's a reason why there's less and less discussion on this forum.    Vituperative comments like yours just drive people away.

Sun Ra's "My Brother the Wind Vol. 1" the new, expanded, reissue on Cosmic Myth out this week.

 

I was away from home all day yesterday traveling to and from and visiting one of my sister-in-laws in Narwalk, OH and this package was left on my porch by UPS before a heavy downpour of rain occurred. Though the digipak was sealed. . . it was soaked and falling apart. Even the underside of the cd was soaked. So I ordered a new copy and am listening to the CD but can't read the notes or discographic info.

 

This is very different from Vol. 2 which I have on Evidence. . .very free jazz and freaky Moog.  Sound is very good, which is what I expect going forward with these new reissues from the Sun Ra archives.

I was responding to various listening experiences here - and someone mentioned Giddens above. I really don't think my comment is gratuitous - since it is warranted by the spirit of debate as often expressed here; and it wasn't really nasty enough to be vituperative. I do have strong feelings about her and that group because I feel like they represent an abuse of tradition, a fake way of looking at history. Their music is exploitative and false. Of course this is only my opinion, but I think that it is in the proper spirit of this forum.

Some of this wouldn't be my choices - though some would - still, some fine, fine music.

I REALLY wish I'd ordered that one.  I have some (most?) of the music from Slugs on a Charly CD.  Oh well. Like the old saying goes, "He who hesitates is lost!"

Katumbo (Dance) is alright. Not essential in any way imo, but I'm enjoying it.

Does anyone have any information concerning how much of this Sun Ra material will be released on cd by Cosmic Myth?
