Yeah, I dig that one too. Charlie Haden's first recording, IIRC.

That's hardcore! I do my best... Still haven't found a replacement copy of Dry as a Bone, though.

Don't think this'll go for TOO much, but the paste-on sleeve is kind of interesting. Brownie, have you seen a Folkways-style jacket for this one? Spirits on Debut

You know, in my time with Pullen, it has been entirely as a pianist - say, with Giuseppi, Nommo or Mingus' Changes. I'll have to check some of these recommendations.

Art Ensemble of Chicago - A Jackson In Your House (BYG Japan) Art Ensemble of Chicago - Message To Our Folks (BYG Japan) Sunny Murray - Hommage to Africa (BYG orig) New Phonic Art - Improvisations (Wergo)

"Something Sweet, Something Tender" - Dolphy and Richard Davis sure had something special going on.

Green River - Rehab Doll - (Sup Pop orig) Tuff as always!

More unearthed material from the punk band Crime is up first.

Jaki Byard - Freedom Together! - (Prestige blue label) with Richard Davis, Alan Dawson and on two tracks, Junior Parker. Definitely a grab-bag, but a decent record all-in-all.

Ran Blake - Plays Solo Piano - (ESP red label orig, sadly no booklet) Good music for writing a paper... especially if I were to write it like Paul Haines! Edit to say: I remembered the version of "Stratusphunk" being weird, but not THIS weird!

30, big ass beard and a smattering of ECMs. Norman Connors is fine, though I doubt he could "push" with Jackie.

She was married to bassist Mark Levinson, of the Paul Bley trio. They wrote a sex book together!

I have the one on Calig, but not this one. I can imagine it's pretty good. The LP has been pretty expensive (for an ECM, anyway) when I've seen it.

Samara Lubelski - In the Valley - (Eclipse) Solo violin and electronics from a very interesting and somewhat chameleonic musician.

The "One" in the title of Tension was in reference to the new-jazz series produced by Horst Lippmann. Also in this series were titles by Joki Freund, Wolfgang Dauner and Manfred Schoof.

HBRT! (Just a little late to the party)...

Joe Giardullo - Gravity - (Breeze Records) Interesting octet recordings from 1979 by this soprano saxophonist, now usually heard solo!

Goldmine is wrong? Say it isn't so!. I bought "Tauhid" as a new release, and it is on the orange label. Btw, "Karma" was the first record I saw with the new black label w/ red border. Not saying it was the very first, but it was among the first. Yeah, my Tauhid is an orange-label Stereo also. I have seen an orange-label Karma, I could swear.

Yeah, he's great. I don't have that one.

Professor Truth Allen Large (using my real last name) isn't so bad, either...

Reverend Thornton Tickle or... Master Fly Clifford Sweetness

I'm not always the biggest KW fan, but indeed he shines on this date.

FYI , Bish's wife Valerie drops in here on occasion . I hope she sees your post . As a Coral Keys owner let me just say that that was a hell of a magnanimous gesture on your part . Yeah, that's pretty hip. Although it also might be why I don't get records signed!

Brandon Burke (wherever he now roams) had the best one I've ever seen, though it hasn't made it to circulation: WWMD - What Would Mingus Do?
