    Yeah, that footage with Mobley is very cool. I recall when it first popped up.

    yeah, they were going to work on it with a known/regarded label and unfortunately that did not come together. I am hopeful something works out. Re: Duke, funny, he looks older to me but could be 40something in the photograph I've seen (from the Trident LP). Pretty sure he is no longer alive, but I have no confirmation to back up that assumption.

    yes, this is superb

    yeah, though her work spans a wide range of music, I would tend to agree. Rein de Graaff is excellent, though. The albums I have under his leadership date to the early 1970s and certainly fit into a post-Coltrane/Tyner approach.

    aha!!!

    I only have the Hill (of those two). A classic. And I have the OTHER two Sudler Steeplechase albums, but not that one. Excellent.

    thanks. Giving it a whirl. yup. this works. Thanks!

    glad I could provide a nudge. Wonderful LP, in my opinion.

    A couple of years ago I was guest lecturing a music history class at a local college and they were using a browser that automatically killed ads on YouTube. Can’t remember what it was — certainly not Google, Safari, DDG, or Firefox. Any ideas?

    Somewhat, yes, I can hear that. When I was writing reviews, I got promos of the two 2CD Microscopic Septet “history of” comps on Cuneiform, and while I wasn’t floored, there’s some interesting material amidst for sure. Still have the music on a backed up hard drive so I should dig it out...

    yeah, they were dumped around that time after the label went belly-up. My uncle said that he bought all of the jazz titles new, and they were often pretty horribly pressed. My experience has varied, and I’ve upgraded when possible. I’d agree that “New Africa” is one of the label’s best.

    Dave Sewelson I’ve listened to and seen a lot, and he’s a really swell guy in addition to being a hell of a musician. All the Hofstra, Hagen, Forrester, and Johnston I’ve heard has been top-notch. But all this to say I haven’t really gotten into the Micros, more likely a “me” thing than a “them” thing.

    Jury’s out on Duck Duck Go — limits the amount of trackers, but can also slow down sites and some older architecture might not run/display properly. not really a fan of Safari and Google is just advertiser central.

    definitely mine as well, a fantastic record.

    Sad news regarding the King Crimson percussionist, who also worked regularly with Derek Bailey and in the Music Improvisation Company. From Bill Bruford: https://www.facebook.com/100044343523529/posts/1245892226898883/
