    RIP. There will never be a coterie of musicians like that again.

    I'm in a similar boat. The Ahmed Abdullah book -- one of my favorite jazz memoir-type things ever -- illuminated a lot of it for me, and I did feel more appreciation for later Ra as a result.

    as an archivist I agree in most instances, unless clarification of said image is necessary to aid in research purposes.
  4. clifford_thornton
    yeah, I think he finally did. That's my understanding.
  5. clifford_thornton
    Fascinating. I asked Ras, too, and he said this Ali was a different guy. The drummer Rashied Ali did play trumpet and studied the instrument with Bill Dixon (with whom he was also playing drums). The timing (pun not intended) does line up, for what it's worth. Norio Maeda indeed became a very interesting pianist and composer; I have several of his albums in the racks.

    Jeez. I stand corrected. At least it seems easily findable on sites like Discogs, especially the later pressings.

    Should be Norio Maeda and ofc I would love to hear this. ditto Ali on trumpet; I asked Ras Moshe whether any recorded examples of Rashied on trumpet existed, and he thought not...

    would be interesting to hear the alternates, at least, but I do feel like we are swimming in Sun Ra at this point and there's material I'd rather see out there before Ra Transition-era false starts. Just my .02 of course.
  9. clifford_thornton
    yeah, absolutely fair.

    yes, have both of the Revelation albums filed and they are truly excellent. Domanico's birthday was yesterday, as a matter of fact. He would have turned 81.

    Excellent news though I would not feel wrong in saying that this could have been handled differently...
  12. clifford_thornton
    heal up !
  13. clifford_thornton
    Ditto. Never had that particular Anthony Davis album.
  14. clifford_thornton
    they're both listed as available on CD or LP via the Delmark website.

    Neloms sounds great on this clip, wow!
