The "tour manager" did believe that Dolphy was - maybe(!) -on drugs because he was a black musician! That's what he says. This was before Dolphy was taken to the hospital.

I watched the documentary again - and did not see the male nurse... Don't know what's up with me .. I wasn't drunk when I saw it the first time. So sorry for giving obviously false informations. However the guy who took Eric Dolphy to the hospital was not a tour manager but a guy who - sometimes - did work for the club Dolphy was scheduled to play at this day. The English translation "tour manager" in the subtitles s misleading.

Maybe you would like to watch the only documentary about ED which is available on youtube. In this Dutch production from 1991 titled Eric Dolphy - Last Date some insight is given - not at least by a male nurse who was in charge when Dolphy was delivered into the hospital. He actually didn't want to go to the hospital. But see for yourself.

Tom Lord's discography has it listed as: Centre Culturel Americain, Paris (Saint-Germain-des-Prés) , October 1967.

"Unlikely pairing" was exactly what I thought when I've discovered it yesterday at Squidco's website. And that's why I finally pulled the trigger - after some hesitation on my side.

Just made a pre-order for something quite special (IMO). Figured it would be of interest for some. Scheduled for mid-November. Derek Bailey & Paul Motian - Duo in Concert

An hour ago I got a message from Germany's biggest mail order for music that my pre-order has been canceled. Hopefully this is only due to distribution et al. At least the label and the weathershop still have it on pre-order. Anyone knows more?

Unfortunately I do not own this LP. Listened to it once at a friend's home.

There's another LP on which Clarence Sharpe plays his great alto. The group is named Vern Fridie And The Jazz Deciples. Some more info at Discogs. Plus he did not only play on one TTT (Penck) but on two of these elusive vinyls. All in all definitely not enough music from him.

FYI: The CD was released in February '23. I got it six months ago through a German mailorder for a reasonable price. The entry at Discogs was made by myself a day after I received the CD (no offer since then at Discogs). Soundwise I'm happy with it.

Yep - but I believe waiting for an offer for the Braxton / Mariano LP will be futile.

At least three Palm LPs have been reissued as part of a 4 CD box set in 2014 by Jazzman. https://www.discogs.com/release/5638799-Gilson-Et-Malagasy-Gilson-Et-Malagasy

Yes it is forbidden - but actually this is common practice from a lot of Discogs contributors.

Take a look at Mats Gustaffson's website: John Coltrane - Ascension

The website was started and maintained by Peter Stubley (no contact info, though). Since some years updates were very scarce and then stopped completely. About three/four weeks ago I tried to visit it and it was gone. In case there's demand for the John Stevens sessionography I have it on my pc. (never believe in the longevity of a website!)
