    • What! I just phoned and asked them to hold it for me until after Xmas since I'll be away after the 16th. 
    • Dec. 6 and 7, all MoonJune Records items on Bandcamp will be discounted 15%. Code:  06DECEMBER2024 MoonJune is releasing a new Soft Machine remaster from the mid-70s with Allan Holdsworth that might interest some here:  Floating World Live.
    • Oh !  I have never seen this records, but Pharoah Sanders is one of my very very first great listening experiences in the early 70´s. I don´t know how often I had spinned things like "Karma", "Thembi" "Live at the East", and the very first I had heard might have been Trane´s "Live at Village Vanguarde Again".  Some of the best music I ever heard.  And like Shepp, after being in the forefront of avantgarde he re-appeard in the late 70´s early 80´s with straight ahead quartets like the Dexter Gordon Quartet or the Johnny Griffin Quartet would be, but never completly abandoning the free spirits of 60´s avantgarde.   
    • I think the only recorded example of Dick Twardzik (how hard to pronouce that name) is a version of "April" on the Musidisc LP "Happy Bird". But it´s Bird who really shines on this , and the strong bass of Mingus. Maybe I heard another example too, but I am not sure. In any case, the West Coast part is missing in my discography, I fear to say.  Somehow, from the short listening experiences his playing seems to have some directions that remind me of mostly Tristano (whom I like more, if he does not do that overdubbing crap) and maybe from that film I saw about Joe Albany.  It sounds a bit like if Dick Twardzik would have listened to some 12 tone things, that kind of classical music of the 20th century.  I got to hear Chet Baker for the first time in 1978, before that, with all the Giants of Jazz I had seen until then, Chet was a completly uncommon name for me. But from 1978 on, when I saw him live for the first time, I liked him and saw him dozens of times. I even have some of his records from the 70´s or 80´s ........But the reason may be that Baker in his last 10 years sounded much more like let´s say early Miles, or Kenny Dorham...
