Would that be Bace Face Willotte?

Try the 2LP reissue on ECM - great sound!!! ← I've got the Verves on LP which sound OK, but could sound better... curious about the live material, though. Any thoughts on it?

Dave Burrell - Windward Passages (Hat Hut) Jaki Byard - Solo Piano (a second vote for that Prestige) Mal Waldron - The Opening (Futura) ... and probably any solo Cecil LP will do you right, though I myself prefer him with a(nother) drummer.

I ordered the Garricks, the Chitinous and the Skid from Dusty Groove and they should be here shortly...

Yoshi Wada - Off the Wall (SAJ) quartet for two bagpipe players, electric organ and tympani, a more primitivist 'In C' if you will. Except that it's probably not in C. Jiri Stivin and Rudolf Dasek - System Tandem (Japo) great set of reeds-guitar duets from two storied Czech improvisers. Richard Landry - Fifteen Saxophones (Wergo) - the sidelong tenor-with-echo solo is well worth investigating.

PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME IN MY LIFE I WILL AGREE WITH ARIC!

Whoops, my fault... he got 'lumped'!

Yeah, I was wrong about that - sorry for the confusion. Didn't realise Cuneiform had done this, but I got a note from them that I'm getting a 1969 Surman CD as a review copy and figured... oops! CT

that is one far-out story...

Richard Landry - Fifteen Saxophones (Wergo) a fantasia for overdubbed and tape-delayed freeish tenor playing from a member of Steve Reich's and Philip Glass's ensembles.

This does look pretty good. I assume the source material is from NDR Jazz Workshops? That ZoKoSo is a great little record, I might add. As for Dauner, he's a friggin' nut! Anybody here ever heard that record on Calig? Makes the Bob James ESP sound like cocktail music...

OK, the moniker is kind of boring but what can you do? "Ethnic" music sounds a bit worse, actually. I think this thread was started to, um, discuss what people like. So, for my two cents, I really enjoy Carnatic vocal music of South India (Pandit Pran Nath, Ramnad Krishnan, etc), as well as South Indian flute music. Pannalal Ghosh plays some of the heaviest Indian flute music I've heard - sounds like a low alto or a bass flute... pretty amazing stuff, and apparently his premature death has brought him much Dolphy-esque renown in South Indian music circles. Got some good Turkish street music, more saz than you can shake a stick at. CT

Wow... I'd much rather have that than, uh, a lot of records any day. Almost bought the Cecil on Transition once but then remembered how much my Visa loves my money and... well... maybe another day. It's hard to find these with the booklets, too.

I dunno, I always wanted mine to ring "Ghosts" - never will I tire of that theme!

Seigfried Kessler - At the Gill's Club Barre Phillips - For All it Is (I know Journal Violone is beautiful, but this one smokes!) Derek Bailey - Improvisation (Cramps - anybody heard the one on Morgue?) Marion Brown - Three for Shepp Rolf & Joachim Kuhn - Impressions of NY Eje Thelin - Acoustic Space Joe McPhee - Tenor Art Ensemble of Chicago - People in Sorrow Muhal Richard Abrams - Levels and Degrees of Light Roscoe Mitchell - Sound New York Contemporary Five - Volume 2 (Sonet) Duke Pearson - Sweet Honey Bee Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land Teo Macero - Teo (Prestige) Jimmy Giuffre - Thesis (yeah, I know I still need to get the double on Hatology) Keith Jarrett - Life Between the Exit Signs Ray Russell - Rites and Rituals Six Organs of Admittance - Compathia Drive Like Jehu - s/t

I think the word 'pot' is the operative one here...

Jean-Philippe Blin Trio (feat. Francois Mechali on bass)... nicely melodic piano trio on Futura, sounds a little like that Steve Kuhn on BYG. Doesn't hurt that there's a naked chick on the cover, either...

Oh, I thought at first you meant debating your own choices.. As for 5 or 6, I say 'gimme Elton Dean!'

Elvin Jones - Heavy Sounds (w/ Richard Davis) Curtis Fuller - Blues-ette Perry Robinson - Funk Dumpling Hank Mobley - Roll Call Kenny Dorham - Trompeta Toccata Alan Shorter - Orgasm Jaki Byard - The Jaki Byard Experience Dave Burrell - High Charles Brackeen - Rhythm X Joanne Brackeen - Snooze Pharaoh Sanders - Tauhid Milford Graves - Babi Graham Collier - Down Another Road Tony Oxley - The Baptised Traveller Terry Riley - Persian Surgery Dervishes Gong - Camembert Electrique Soft Machine - Fifth Julie Driscoll - 1969 Steve Reich - Music for Eighteen Musicians Mauricio Kagel - Exotica

It's a burn of a booted LP test pressing that Mole Jazz got their hands on several years ago - I believe it was originally supposed to come out on CBS or Polydor. Mole pressed up about 350 of the LPs, I think, and they go for a fair amount of dough so it's probably worth it to get this. Mole also did a 'test pressing' boot of a Chris McGregor record from the same period, trio and quintet. Cheers, CT

Gigi Gryce...

Doesen't Garbarek have an LP on a Scandinavian Columbia imprint from the late '60s as well? I seem to recall seeing this LP offered somewhere before...

Addendum to previous response: Of course, just because a parcel of LPs hasn't arrived in the mail doesn't mean I'm not going to troll around for more!

Much to my girlfriend's chagrin, Richard and Mimi Farina "Memories" (Vanguard), the final LP in the trilogy. Funny, she enjoys free jazz but hates folk music... needless to say, I've been enjoying it when she's not around.
