Interesting rhythm section - Don Preston, Richard Davis & Andrew Cyrille. :o

When was that recorded?

How well does Don Preston fit in?

I have a CD of a Don Preston acoustic piano trio date, which is not an unqualified triumph, to my ears. I wonder if this Bradford-Carter album is something like that.

Recorded in '88. Just received a self produced disc from Bradford - Mo'tet Live at the LA County Museum of Art from 2002. Preston is on it too.

Have not listened to them yet.

Don Preston is also on the John Carter recordings for Gramavision.

I saw him a couple of years ago in a tiny studio club in New York called the Monkey--it probably didn't hold more than 20 people or so (and it wasn't full). A hard to find place. It was set up for 360 degree sound--Preston (on various electric keyboards) had a trio with a guitarist (Andre Cholmondeley), and Sheri (?) on electronic percussion). It was an interesting experience--electronic free improvision for the most part--the closest thing to a traditional song was a Captain Beefheart composition they played for an encore. I especially liked the guitarist, even though he hardly played any sounds that sounded like a guitar.

Don Preston was approachable and said that his recordings with John Carter were among his favorites of his own recordings.

The amazing Bud Powell vol1 and vol 2

Only got round to buying Vol 2 last year, having had Vol 1 on vinyl since the 60s! Both wonderful, of course!

the saleswoman actually only wanted to sell me one volume, thinking they were twice the same thing and the other one hadn't arrived..., luckily i had a look in the box... haven't played vol 2 so far but i really don't know where i've been all those years... amazing indeed
