guess if you meet Gene & are in politics, the future is what it is!

Thanks! That's a great example.

yep, have all of these on LP or Cd, and they're fantastic indeed.

ah, thanks. I don't own any of the ESPs on CD.

would be easy enough to do the Japanese Victors as 4 CDs, right? Two solos, the date with Peacock, the date with Hino, Tokyo Bound, and maybe Spanish Bitch could be included if there's room? Don't forget Bill! FWIW, bassist Kiyoshi Tokunaga, who worked with Giuffre, is also on the Curran LP. He also played drums and trumpet, and I believe is/was mostly based out of Seattle. Not sure if he is still alive.

ESP at least included the year and month, but it would be nice to know specific days/dates as well.

Yeah, definitely in the NYAQ era. The photos are hard to find but I've seen a few. The verso of Mohawk kind of shows the white face paint, but it's not a very clear photo.

As "Streets the Clown," yes. John Tchicai also painted his face in the 1960s.

👍🏼👍🏼

I am unsure if he's still alive, but the alto saxophonist Byron Allen was born on this day in 1939.

🙌🏼

It is truly extraordinary. Been a while.

yeah, stuff just gets broken or disappears with various updates to operating systems, storage, and platform architecture. A lot of my AAJ reviews, articles, and interviews are damaged or abbreviated because of this--to say nothing of the various sites I wrote for that have gone completely dark. The moral of that story is to back everything up and ensure you have access copies (my early 2000s self needed a talking to!).

good call on the Revelation recordings, of which there are many. Perhaps starting with Gary Foster, Warne Marsh, and Dennis Budimir... It is too bad that Jonathan doesn't post here anymore, and that the Joe Daley expanded reissue did not materialize. Warne Marsh needs an assessment beyond the Atlantic set (Konitz/Tristano/Marsh), though of course we have many labels to choose from and licensing could be an issue.

Yeah, that's fascinating to hear. It's interesting that he did not talk about the death of his father in the PoD interview; perhaps it was still too traumatic.

wow.

Those are probably his best two.

Bill Barron as a leader Bill Dixon as leader/producer for Savoy, or Savoy avant-garde in general George Russell in Europe (Saba, Concept, Flying Dutchman). Could include Soul Notes too but not sure if CAM would license those...

New Point of Departure has the unabridged version of Brandon Burke's interview with Guy: https://pointofdeparture.org/PoD93/PoD93Kopelowicz.html Brandon used to post here regularly. Due to questions about rights and the estate, photos are not in the article.

you are right about that -- looks like their last IG post was a year ago today. I got the feeling that they, like many small labels at this point in time, were doing too much on a minimum of resources. Perhaps they are taking a rest.

glad someone said Akerman! Jarmusch is up there for me as well. I'll add: Paul Schrader Katherine Bigelow Peter Greenaway Abel Ferrara

Too bad about Upchurch. I didn't know Richard Davis played with Springsteen.

Nah, but I am not a mod!

IIRC, Ethan's list is a bit more broad and includes Cecil's ensemble recording for Impulse! and some others. He kind of ignores Masabumi Kikuchi's pre-2000s recordings by saying they aren't "mature" or whatever, which is a gross oversight given that his 70s work is of incredibly high quality.
