Strata-East artist, in case not already posted by someone else here.

Big fan of his work with KC and ELP. Watched a tribute to PS on YouTube recently which drew to my attention his solo album “Still” which I don’t think I’d ever listened to before. Reminds me in places of early Tim Buckley.

I’ve been enjoying this too. I had to remind myself that LL was in Aziza with DH, and also played with many other interesting players. I think I saw him live with Joe Lovano once. Don’t remember if I ever saw Aziza live.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say I got a kick out of seeing this old thread resurrected. For the record, I still dig Brian Auger!

Update: I listened to both Compost albums on Spotify and found that while they’re still not really classics I enjoy them more now than 10 years ago. A few weeks later I found the CD’s in a box while looking for something else and listened to them again. I have now added them on the shelf with my other Jack De Johnette CD’s.

Man, I have no memory of having started this topic. I do remember the part of the story not included in the thread though..in about 2010 Wounded Bird reissued both Compost albums on CD and I bought them. I wasn’t too impressed to be honest. Rereading this thread inspires me to pull them out of storage and give them another try...especially to hear the second side of the first one. Or I could listen to them on Spotify (I see they have both Compost albums there...) https://www.amazon.com/Life-Round-Compost/dp/B004708KAG https://www.amazon.com/Compost/dp/B004708JZW

Fellow Music fans, I have a ticket for Glenn Hughes (ex- Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc.) show at Rams Head on Stage in Annapolis, MD. It was originally scheduled for last month, but it was postponed to August due to Glenn's knee surgery. I was very excited to see this show, but unfortunately I have just found out that I have to be in Europe at that time, to help a sick family member, and won't be able to attend. Would any of you want the ticket? If so please let me know and we can discuss the details off line. I'm not looking to make a profit here, just trying to make sure that the ticket doesn't go to waste. Best, Henry. www.ramsheadonstage.com/event/977267-glenn-hughes-annapolis

Happy (belated) Birthday as well!

I like Uriah Heep too. My favorites are "Demons & Wizards" and "The Magician's Birthday." I also have "The Ultimate Collection"(2-disc best of). I first became interested in UH when I read about them in the liner notes to a Deep Purple remaster. UH also remind me at times of early Yes.

Thanks. I love "Silence" not only because I am big fan of Pinter but also because I love the way Wyatt, Bley and Coyne are inspired to sing by Mantler's music which is a very enjoyable kind of jazz-latin-rock fusion. I guess I was hoping that Coyne as a solo artist was more like Wyatt than he was...

I'm a big fan of Robert Wyatt and on Alexander's recommendation I picked up Michael Mantler's Edward Gorey album "The Hapless Child" with Wyatt on vocals. I liked it so much I also checked out Mantler's Pinter album "Silence" with Wyatt, Carla Bley and Kevin Coyne on vocals. I liked that very much too, which inspired me to investigate Coyne. I picked up "Marjory Razorblade" and while I like it, I find the backing a bit sparse at times and wonder if anyone here has any suggestions for a Kevin Coyne album with a jazzier backing, somewhat akin to "Silence" or was that a one of a kind event for Coyne?

Thanks for all the replies.

A few weeks ago I was watching Keith Jarrett videos on YouTube and I saw a great one of him playing "Moonchild" (from the album with Gary Burton) with Charlie Hayden and Paul Motian on a European (?) tv programme in the '70's (to judge by Keith's 'fro and Paul Motian's pony tail). The footage has on it the logo "1 +" (One Plus), perhaps the name of the show. My question: did Keith often tour his American group but without Dewey Redman? Perhaps only in Germany? What was the show with "Moonchild"? Were they on other European tv programmes during that period? Based on what I could find in my own reading, it seems that during the '70's Keith generally recorded either with one of his quartets (American or European), solo or with or some mixed large group. Did he ever record his American trio during the '70's? I know they recorded in the '60's for Atlantic a few times, but the only clue I could find that they ever recorded as a trio in the '70's was a reference to a German jazz workshop recording in 1972 that was on a various artists collection, but I couldn't find any track listing. Anyone know anything about this?

I got the regular two-disc version at Borders when it came out on Tuesday. Have been listening to it on and off ever since.
