Uh-oh, this will be in my head for a long time!

Went with Roscoe, though Frank comes in pretty close for me as well.

A lot of us work very hard at our profession, and I think that you should keep that foot right where it belongs Jazz Kat.

Yes, the continual decline of civilization...

On Stanley Cowell's b-day, Music Inc. Live in Tokyo (Strata-East), followed with Charles Tyler Eastern Man Alone (ESP-Disk', one of my favorite Tyler LPs)...

To herald Ron Carter's birthday, Miles in Tokyo (CBS Sony).

Larry Young...

Funny, I always think of Khan Jamal as playing vibes with Byard, but Bill Lewis is plausible (they had that great duo on Philly Jazz). Wild guess, but J.R. Mitchell is probably the trap drummer.

I didn't know the Clines had an ECM.

Shit, dare I say it but the CD set actually looks 'better,' and it's easier to skip through the dreck.

Yeah, this is the one I would like to score, though probably not for what Jazzinvinyl charges!

Revolutionary Ensemble "Vietnam" (ESP) forgot about this one!

Yes, it's Bowie. The Coral Rock album and the "Uhuru" circle-jerk were recorded at the same session; the tune "Pitchin' Can" was recorded with the rest of Black Gypsy. IMO, "Uhuru" might be the reason that session wasn't included in the America CD reissues - it's pretty mindless as free jazz blowing sessions go, though the Shorter tune "Coral Rock" is one of his best...

Man, every time I look at an artist thread, I'm afraid somebody has died. Thank goodness Abdullah-Brand is still with us!

Is this what all the Japanese Sun Ra records are on? Btw Sidewinder, I really like that Jack Bruce record. Got the US version recently and would like to get the previous one with John McLaughlin. Hopefully can find a reasonably-priced version of it!

Didn't People in Sorrow originally come out on Nessa? So wouldn't you have the tapes anyway? Or are you just talking about "Sophie"? They originally came out in France on EMI Pathe; Chuck issued them in the US in the early 1970s (right?).

You can skip New Grass, but yeah, I'd get the rest of his discography if you can!

Wasn't there a Bernt Rosengren on Jazzland with the same bright-yellow jacket?

I thought Cruise um, didn't really play that team...

Paul Bley, Gary Peacock, and Barry Altschul...

Terrible news. OK, this has got to stop!

That "Lonely Woman" is bananas!

Yeah, this is getting to be a drag. Cheers to you Percy, RIP

Marion Brown In Sommerhausen (Calig) with Gunter Hampel, Ambrose Jackson (tp), Steve McCall and Jeanne Lee. A real rhythm-record, unlike its more AACM-ish companion volume, Gesprachfetzen.

I will add (again) trumpeter Barbara Donald and altoist/flutist Becky Friend. Barbara was married to Sonny Simmons and a regular bandmate in the later '60s. Becky Friend was Alan Silva's lady in the early '70s and was in some of his groups of the period. Sadly, both quit playing due to health reasons.
