https://www.chronogram.com/arts/fred-smith-of-television-dies-at-77/ By coincidence I dusted off my original copy of Marquee Moon over the weekend. It still wows me every time. RIP.

Yes, I agree with you there! Good record, but hardly "free" jazz in the sense that you or I might use the term.

Too bad, but 90 is a good run!

I don't know. Alan Bates is credited as producer on both and surely owned the tapes (which remain with his estate afaik).

I'm a fan of this oddball one, from beat poet Jack Spicer: https://citylights.com/general-fiction/tower-of-babel/

Adaptive Dance, huh, I had no idea! Look forward to reading these, thanks for the link.

I've heard of that guy (I think). Looking forward to receiving my copy.

Wilbur Campbell is an intriguing presence, so I'm in for it on CD.

I would assume Detroit was the historical connection between Joe Henderson and Danny Spencer. Of course, Joe's brother Leon was in Cox's Contemporary Jazz Quintet.

interesting. I need to figure out how to create more room...

how's the sound?

Given Zev's track record, are we sure about the personnel? Anyway, I am in for the CD version.

I have read that as well, so it's fair to assume an expanded selection won't cover a huge portion of the tapes.

yeah, I was misinformed re: Maeght. The video from Paris rips... so it is a pretty wonderful performance.

26 minutes total on one LP? That's a little stingy. I do look forward to more, and will hold out until that happens.

The Annie Ross is pretty cool. Looks like the Cecil is from Paris and not Maeght (as I'd been told) and I will definitely pick it up despite my aversion to the liner note author.

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)
