    Marion Brown

    I wonder if the prize is supported by the compensation paid to Marion Brown for the botched amputation of his leg? I can’t think off hand of any alto players influenced by his distinctive style. A true one off.
  2. The earlier reissue of Flashpoint came with a DVD film of the recording session. Was fascinating to see the older musicians like Ronnie Scott really getting into this new music.
  3. To be playing composed music, as implied, after taking LSD, challenging. Will have to relisten to Basra.

    Frank Strozier

    Think this is worth reposting. Strozier’s solo is very good here. Klemmer’s, awful. Love the Sun Ra style costumes.
  5. Followed by this great UK Fontana Kirk compilation. J C Moses with Kirk on Cabin in the sky. Wow, what a drummer. Shame he died so young.
  6. UK 1961 white label Mono, sounds great. One from my Dad’s collection. Griffin really goes for it. Not sure if he did a long stretch at the Five Spot, like Coltrane. Evidence is the stand out track, with Haynes going crazy under Griffin’s solo.

    David Izenzon

    Reactivating an ancient thread, on the sleeve notes to Harold McNair’s Affectionate Fink on Island Records, David Izenzon is said to be collaborating on an LP with Gil Evans. Sleevenotes (by Charles Fox) are from autumn 1965. I wonder what that project was. Any ideas?
  9. Clearing my parent’s house this summer, I found this with a sticker on which my Dad had written, ‘first record I bought, give to Anthony.’ I also discovered a Max Roach Drum Quintet 78 originally on Debut records (Esquire edition) with Hank Mobley. Just one of those things. Looking forward to playing this. Anthony London
  10. An absolute classic. Desert island disc for me.
  11. Horace Silver Trio Blue Note CD. Safari and Yeah are the same tune, yes? Feather and Blumenthal liner notes don’t seem to acknowledge this.
  12. Fôrça Bruta, Jorge Ben. An essential reissue from Dusty Groove. One of my favourite albums, every song a classic. Ps not into streaming, how am I going to cope as I about to sell my 20 year old Golf with CD player. This CD has been a constant favourite in the car. The punchy horns on Domenica sound perfect over a car stereo.
  13. Spark me up. I wonder what contribution jazz photography made over the years to nicotine addiction. Anthony (ex smoker, last gasp 2008)
  14. Anyone going to see David Murray at Cafe Oto next week?
  15. I don’t have that. How is the sound on that issue? The RVG CD reissue is awful.
