    yeah, a family friend died from this a few years ago. It was pretty bad.

    RIP. I was a little young to grasp the nuances of his message(s) at the time but do remember his oration on the campaign trail in 1992. https://www.npr.org/2026/02/17/963124454/jesse-jackson-civil-rights-leader-rainbow-coalition-dies

    a classic! RIP. Always extraordinary onscreen.

    yeah, I have the one with Claude Bernard, but have been looking for the one with Takagi for many years. Both are elusive.
  6. clifford_thornton
    good to know. I've never seen either in person, and will "keep an eye out" (though it's unlikely I'll run into them).
  7. clifford_thornton
    Very cool. I am curious why the outliers in price -- is there a special edition of the Bird box?
  8. clifford_thornton
    agreed. Independent free jazz/improv labels aren't all boutique, though some certainly are.
  9. clifford_thornton
    Agreed -- big fan of his sessions with Masahiko Togashi too.

    What a life. RIP https://www.larepubliquedespyrenees.fr/societe/afp/le-musicien-michel-portal-figure-inclassable-du-jazz-contemporain-est-mort-a-90-ans-27889382.php I'll add that I was fortunate to interview him about 20 years ago, and he was funny and kind. I'm thankful for that experience.

    ooh, nice one. Originally issued by Hal Willner's "Shemp" label. Hal was a great guy.

    haven't dug that record out in years. There's another volume under Ron Pittner's name that is good as well (and not on CD).

    yeah, Kaye was excellent. Bobby was a special cat and I was privileged to know him pretty well.

    Tyler's estate does indeed seem complicated!
