Never crossed it, and always been curious: how is it and who is playing on it; that is, who are the friends and who are the neighbors on 131 Prince Street?🤷‍♂️

The horns are not always the best-recorded (Ornette considered it an "unauthorized" release).

But it's got a good groove. This title cut kills:

It's worth having it, if only because that's better than not having it.

Ornette, Dewey, Haden and Blackwell. I like it enough to have the original vinyl and the cd.

I found that record without knowing it existed. Talk about a thrill, not just finding something you've never seen, but something you never knew about, period. A major artist on a major(ish) label, WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!

One of the many joys of youth!

[Holy Ghost]

Debut, legit, Japanese mini-lp/cd (plus OBI 😊) I picked up at Reckless Records in Chicago, that will replace my current, I don't know where it came from copy:

Always thought that looked like Slash's head coming out of that lady's horn 🫠

Get it. Can't tell you how many times I've said "no fucking way!!!" out loud in a record store when I would come across something totally unexpected or a complete surprise. Dizzy Reece's Blues in Trinity Conn edition is one of those outbursts of late.

This was mid-late 1879s. No Internet and lots of older, neighborhood record stores that didn't return stock, and you could literally pick an area, look in the Yellow Pages and leisurely walk in and say howdy. LPs at old prices? Howdy!

Also, "collectors" were not really out in force then. So finding stuff like this was something you could look forward too, not unlike fishing, just be patient and know where the good spots are.

Different world.

Good stuff. I bought Breakthrough right out of Dusty Groove, the last time (not this time) I was in Chicago a few years back. Glad I did, I believe it's a Dusty Grooove edition (it's packed in a box).

I like the mid-60's BN Blue Mitchell period very much. Fun stuff.
