    Nice! I have this music as Big Stuff on New Jazz (same session). Love it.
  2. clifford_thornton
    I agree with all of this. I stopped reviewing in maybe 2018 for a variety of reasons, but I still write about music. Hopefully some of the personality, facts, and word-pictures still come through. It's definitely not something that comes easily for most people.

    Unfortunate that they haven't sent you anything at all. I'm sure you could do a chargeback and get your card credited. I haven't ordered the final batch and will wait until Dusty Groove gets 'em.

    I love that record. All the Tyler albums are at least good but this one is quite special.

    born on the same day (Dec. 17) in 1933 and 1935, respectively.

    That's true. He found ways.

    there are still plenty of idiots crashing and burning.

    Well, he had cards stacked against him -- race, sexuality -- and though he was successful, his life was hardly perfect. I don't feel sorry for him but I think it is fair to recognize & hold empathy for what caused him turbulence.

    yeah, I saw him only once with Lee Konitz and Marc Johnson. It was good, but I think at the time I had a more steady diet of freer Bley and wish I could take my 2024 ears back to that night.

    Oh for sure. I was quite floored by the Coleman disc, though, as I wasn't expecting what I got!

    Steve Lacy

    clifford_thornton replied to Late's topic in Artists

    Solo Lacy is a very different album. I like the duo with Altena but it's quite different than Maarten's own records. It would have been interesting to hear the Altena of Stairs! and Porto Novo in duo with Lacy (or trio with Bennink) ca. 1967, though Lumps is a pretty enjoyable affair as well. Lacy was quite raucous in those years!

    perhaps, but he made the records, not any of us! Not that we have to like all of them (or any of them), but the work is there to be dealt with (or not).

    I love Beirach. Shipp got me really listening to him. There's a duo CD with George Coleman that is just stupendous in my opinion.

    Downloaded this one on Apple Music and am enjoying it quite a bit: https://www.discogs.com/release/11881513-Barry-Wedgle-Steve-Lacy-The-Rendezvous?srsltid=AfmBOooV_xIAnO5v4XZbPSJEF-mM_pFAHqBuZEqBPbcFXyNsKi-7jQnB

    yeah, I'm in for 2025.
