  1. did you see my first post of February 17? Frank was the one who first owned a trap set and until 1957 Denis always practiced on Frank's set... Denis started playing with Cecil Taylor in 1954 (according to wiki) so Frank had a set at least from, say, 1953 onwards... and the fact that he ended up recording as a percussionist with Ed Blackwell, Sonny Rollins and others suggests to me that he was possibly sufficiently talented as a drumming musician to show up playing with Kenny Dorham on a local live gig nobody ever expected to appear as an album...
  2. Denis played with Cecil Taylor since the mid-fifties... And since he was the younger brother, using Frank's drum set...
  3. I had a brief look at Steven Isoardi's The Dark Tree: Tom Albach was living in Santa Barbara when he got involved in 1977/78, recorded the early sessions in LA but the solos with Tapscott at the Lobero in Santa Barbara. Whether he and the label moved to Los Angeles at some point I don't know (in 1989, they left California for Amsterdam…)
  4. thanks! that it's not on discogs suggests that it must be pretty rare... (that bsnpubs doc is pretty misleading in this particular case because it gives a completely wrong tracklist...)
  5. Can someone help me figure out what the second Bobby Henderson album is? I can only find one...
  6. Wow, that is some crazy luck! (my own new records of this week are Jazz behind the Dikes Volume 3 and a Japanese reissue of Tony Fruscella's Atlantic album... the closest I came to a bargain recently was the debut album of Bert Joris for 2 Euro last week... it's been good weeks for buying used records)
  7. I saw that duo and it was definitely worth going even though their records may not be my go-to Brötzmann... But what was totally amazing was a trio with Leigh and Toshinori Kondo added on tp and electronics... It's been a while and I forgot the details but Kondo somehow managed to organize the sounds and had a great interaction with Leigh in a way that made it all come together even better
  8. You're missing my favorite album (Crystal Bells on LDH / Igloo) but other than that I agree
  9. That's a nice album, I like it a lot
  10. Marvin Cabell - Dream Images a few years ago, I walked into a record store in Rennes, France, and after browsing through a few bins, I asked the owner what was going on... turned out, he'd recently bough a record store in Chicago and resurrected it in Northern France... I walked home with this and albums by Tommy Jones, E Parker McDougal and the MJT+3...
  11. that's a good tip, I've had that book lying around for ages... maybe I should just start with those 45 pages...
  12. language is one thing, cultural differences are another... obviously, we meet here because we have some common interests... and obviously, that includes an interest in American culture in the case of this board (and, for example, soulpope has loads of interests like that from Edward Hopper to some of those American sports)... but there are some conversation on this board that you can only understand if you've grown up knowing which type of highly processed sauce goes with what type of meat in which region of the US... and that's something they don't teach us in school and that's ok. But it does lead to things being lost in translation.
  13. Indeed... I recently talked to someone who was studying to switch from being a German doctor to being a Dutch doctor.... The main difference is that for a large number of diseases the official guideline is "please come back in a week, if the issue persists... If the pain gets to much you may switch from paracetamol to ibuprofen." rather than doing something just to give the patient the feeling that something has been done.... I do like the Dutch system actually, but still I always have to smile when the doctor starts talking about Paracetamol and waiting for a week...
  14. If I didn't know you lived in the Netherlands, this would have given it away: "according to the doctor it should go away by itself." This really sounds awful, hope you get better soon!
  15. I'd say the Kenny Barron album on that label looks tastier
