    Parker & Zorn also shared the stage in Peter Brötzmann's Berlin Djungle. Horvitz, Parker, and Butch Morris also have a trio LP on Black Saint. There are, according to the William Parker Sessionography, a number of live collaborations not intended for release as well. The Alto Madness date with Jemeel Moondoc and Tim Berne in 1989 would have been fun to witness!

    do the AAJ boards still exist? I don't feel like looking at that site & giving them traffic.

    heard that on NPR. Pretty amazing!
  6. clifford_thornton
    I'm a fan of that one too.
  7. clifford_thornton
    right. Well, there's some recorded evidence!

    Not too many Mingus collaborators are still with us! Also born on this day, saxophonists C Sharpe (1931), Kidd Jordan (1937), and Kaoru Abe (1949), as well as pianist Stanley Cowell (1941) and drummer John Preininger (1947).

    I have this Roost 2220, excellent sate. Would like to get a nice copy of the preceding volume as well; it seems a bit harder to find on LP.

    I have and very much enjoy the Away LPs. Prime stuff!

    I had that Interplay and recall it being good. None of the Wergo-Jazz series (Gunter Hampel, Pierre Favre Quartett, Manfred Schoof Sextett, Willem Breuker Orchestra) have made it to CD. It's a shame, as they're all excellent.

    they do. But that doesn't mean they aren't of questionable legality here in the US.

    Yeah, Watanabe worked with African dance and percussion troupes in the 70s, and maybe even beyond that. Of course he was also (IIRC) one of the first Japanese artists to explore bossa nova in the 60s. Pretty interesting life he's had for sure!

    Oh, I like Watanabe quite a bit, up to a point (mid-70s). The stuff on Takt and CBS is really, really good imo, not to mention the dates with Mariano (Victor, Takt). He was obviously a big seller for a time and had studied at Berklee, so he had the American connection and was hot on the festival circuit.

    ah, nice one, and yesterday would have been his 90th...
