oh, I meant the rest of the BFT; Gardens of Harlem I know very well!

12 is Clifford Thornton (the real one) from The Gardens of Harlem, tenor player is Roland Alexander. The cut is called "O Desayo." Bassist is Andy González. Guess I need to listen to the rest of it!

Good news, and glad to have you back. I owe you a call, just been swamped/under various rocks...

It kinda already exists in the form of the NoBusiness Sam Rivers live series, but I suppose you are probably looking toward the albums on Fluid, Red, Vedette, Circle, Horo, Black Saint, Tomato, Impulse, and ECM.

I know Dexter's BN LPs remain sought-after, but I wonder whether his playing catches the ear of current/newer jazz buyers the way that, say, Joe Henderson does? My guess is no, but it's their loss...

I don't think so, but I'm not a Dexpert.

Dexter BNs would be a no-brainer at this point. I'd buy one to plug some holes.

Yes, sorry, was exhausted last night -- we'll get started probably closer to 7.

This is forthcoming soon and I'm curious to read it. I know a bio was out ~15 years ago, and I probably should give that one a read as well. That was before her recent bump in popularity, exhibition in LA, etc.. https://www.jazztimes.com/reviews/books/book-review-cosmic-music-the-life-art-and-transcendence-of-alice-coltrane/?v=0b3b97fa6688 For anyone in the Hudson Valley, there'll be a book reading/signing co-presented by Tubby's and Rough Draft Books on Thursday, April 2 (FREE). I'll play some relevant recordings before and after. Hope to see you there, and also feel free to chime in with thoughts on the volume/s if you have any.

Yes! I have these musicians listed for March 21: †Santo "Mr. Tailgate" Pecora, 1902-84 †Hank D’Amico, 1915-65 †Sir Charles Thompson, 1918-2016 †Masaru Imada, 1932-2025 Mike Westbrook, b. 1936 †Herbert Joos, 1940-2019 Amina Claudine Myers, b. 1942 J.T. Bates, b. 1975

yeah, everything is fine -- nothing out of the ordinary, apparently. I am 49 and should have gotten my first one a few years ago, so I was a little concerned, but "all's clear." Thanks.

home recovering from a colonoscopy and listening to: Kees Hazevoet - Pleasure One - (Peace, NL)

don't have that one. Apparently it is a 7".

that would have been really interesting...
