As heard on BN 1601...

RIP. This is starting out to be a hell of a year.

I LOVE THAT TUNE!!! Best one on the album, for sure, and for all the reasons you put so well... Don't know Mrwebi, sounds like it would be up my alley though.

Don't forget to play "Silence"! Yeah, I eat well and ride my bike a lot, but then I smoke and drink like a total bitch. They cancel one another out, most likely. Acting Trio - s/t - (BYG)

That set on eBay ain't gonna end cheap...

If you actually look like Cornell West, you could be on to something...

Yeah, he swings, but re: the Moncur, there were four to five other cats who made that LP! The Cyrille-Lyons duo, Something in Return, is a fine one as well. The Ayler box is great, but for sure Lyons benefitted from good recording situations, which are sorely lacking on the box (and some of the Hat Hut material).

Actually, I have tinnitus and various sinus problems that make me a little deaf. Not to mention all the rock shows I used to go to! Right now, spinning: Bitch Magnet - Umber - (What Goes On UK press of a Communion LP)

Yeah, the video is pretty insane/hilarious... I think there are some crazy motherfuckers out there, and I am not sure on this one.

Different birds.

I find it hard to believe that chewy would call the Jim Zitro ensemble or Donald Garrett's work "West Coast Jazz." Maybe his definition is REALLY, REALLY broad, however...

...or Tungsten!

I actually think it's for real.

Have heard very little Nels Cline, though I would say I'm pretty into his brother Alex. Could you tell us a bit about this record?

Yeah, that's a beautiful one. Better than I remembered it, too. Me and my tin ear!

Lot of good records from the 80s, though maybe not of "fusion."

I guess with hardbop, as with a lot of free music too, I do feel diminishing returns are (and have been) a more regular outcome than they "should" be. For me, it's certainly not a matter of "concept" (that often works only insofar as the concept is played out), and I do feel that there are a lot of gems within hardbop, free jazz, and whatever else. Maybe I'm confusing consistency with sameness, or maybe I just have a tin ear.

It's a beautiful record, but one I haven't listened to in some time. It is very intense, but not in the way some equate with "free jazz." You should get it, Swinger. It may change the way you think.

Kalaparusha - Humility - (Delmark) Guess I hadn't listened to side one in a while... forgot how out the vocals were!

I love Crescent now more than I ever had before. These reasons have been detailed somewhat elsewhere on the board...

That was released on LP by Blue Parrot, no?

The poster!

Yeah, I hate the sound of it, but it is sometimes quite the relief to engage in the act oneself...
