so the tapes for the Don Ayler on Jihad do exist and they are with an archive, not sure about licensing however. (and I'd also add that I have no idea whether the tapes are in good enough condition to use)

Very interesting, thanks. Hames did some good work.

I haven't listened to that Jimmy Woods LP in years, but kinda feel, or felt, the same way about it.

What's the date? I'm not seeing it listed in the discography here: https://guitardiscography.com/wp-content/include-me/don-cherry/don-cherry-discography.php Usually, Siegfried Busch is credited as "Sigi" Busch, rather than "Tiki." The personnel lines up with the Hear & Now period, but I'm not seeing this specific session.

had not heard this acetate before, very interesting.

Also: Ivo Perelman (b. 1961), Stephen Haynes (b. 1955), Takeru Muraoka (b. 1941), Ronald Shannon Jackson (1940-2013), Hadley Caliman (1932-2010). Good day for birthdays!

yeah, that Don Ayler is one I'd like to hear as well (if it survived).

color me confused about all these Hat-derivations.

Most unfortunate news; RIP, Bob, and thank you for the music.

William is a national treasure.

I rarely check the non-music zone & I didn't see this on the day... so again, thank you very much!

Thanks, gents! Appreciate it!

Thanks; figured I should get something on the "record."

I texted Ben and these "sessions" did not occur or are highly improbable at best.

Ben might know, yeah.

Understood on these fronts. It is a dark and difficult world scene. I deal with pretty intense depression, surely not the only person here who does, and though the board is a nice respite, music doesn't always do it for me. But this community has been a great help even when I am just pithily responding to some discographical query.

Really? I think of you as a core poster. And yes, makes sense that an established community would bristle at an influx.

Altschul, one of the greats.

I forgot about the transitional AAJ post-BN board. I had that experience as well, even though I was writing for them at the time. Not a great scene.

oh, huh, looks like I joined on January 9, 2004. I could have sworn it was earlier, but apparently the months/years run together. I do remember the BNBB shutdown and being informed that this was the place to go.

yep. I have a Japanese pressing on Mercury, which seems to have been licensed from Trip, who in turn had gotten the tapes from Orville O'Brien (O'Be). I don't know what the story is there, but a number of his tapes ended up as Trip releases later in the 70s (Art Blakey; Randy Weston).

and also Dizzy Reece, b. 1931, and as far as I am aware, still with us!
