it was a lot easier to buy from Lithuania prior to last September, just sayin'...

my sincere condolences...

👍👍

Wow... at least he went out playing. Saw him a few times and I think the last was as part of an Allen Lowe concert in Brooklyn at IBeam (with Ursula Oppens).

Ah, too bad. He was great. RIP.

Off the top of my head, I know there are a bunch more, but it would take some research...

Awesome, and a great idea. I'm a little bit out of the loop as far as jazz journalism these days and a lot depends on what I figure out for my next book projects (I have some ideas at least). There is one project already semi-in-the-works but details are a bit embargoed. Anyway, the next interview I do I'll be sure to inform people of in this space.

ha! Good warm up technique.

nice! Saw him a couple of times in New York. (Sclavis, that is... weirdly never saw Ulmer)

👍👍 I was just reading Tyler King's substack on Fred...

I've never had that CD but it looks up my alley. Saw Boni once (in duo with McPhee, fantastic) but never Jaume.

I'd be curious to read the booklet/liner notes anyway. Have the original LP and The Hard Blues as part of Coon Bid'ness.

Really enjoy that tune as well. Cool that you were able to see them! I saw Wynn, but long after the Dream Syndicate broke up.

https://recordmecca.com/item-archives/john-coltrane-albert-ayler-sonny-rollins-1966-new-york-concert-handbill/ Carlos Ward and Pharoah were part of Trane's group too, along with the Aylers. Shepp might've sat in also, but I don't have my session index handy (at a café).

yes, I agree -- was very happy with the pressing, and it's an incredible set.

yeah, excellent show though after the first few seasons I stopped following it (just moved on to other things). Probably due for a rewatch or at least catch up. I remember seeing her in the audience (along with other siblings) for a Mary Margaret O'Hara concert & it seemed like they were a wildly supportive family. Thinking of them all during this time.

After Hours is cool indeed.

3CD/4LP Half Note set would be the cat's meow. I have the Audio Fidelity and Creation/Brazilia vinyl, but a remastered and complete concert is deserved.

quintet with Marion Brown? the concert with the Ayler Brothers would be interesting to hear as well, if it were taped.

she was great (as is her sister Mary Margaret). RIP. Bummer news...

I have the America pressing also. America/Musidisc reissued several Debut and Fantasy titles in France, in addition to a bunch of new recordings from Shepp, the AEC, Dave Burrell, Frank Wright, Alan Shorter... excellent series.

yup.

oh yeah, the snowstorms this winter have been relentless! Ticket link: https://link.dice.fm/kdfWJeFFk0b?sharer_id=6137982a13edab0001504bc8 (extra fee goes to the app, not to Tubby's, but Dice is useful if you want to reserve a spot)

I think he emerged around the time I left Chicago, or maybe a little after, though I believe I did see him once (struggling to remember the exact context & it was probably in NYC). Excellent player indeed.
