What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Great album that for once really does need new artwork with any reissue.

Art Tatum liked to take Dorothy around to clubs and when pianists inevitably challenged him, he would suggest they battle her first. I think that was mentioned in Jazz Anecdotes...

Marian McPartland told me that she thought Dorothy Donegan had an inconsistent recording output due to being difficult to work with and he she was la bit full of herself. When they played their final duet to conclude the broadcast of Piano Jazz, she told her, "Dorothy, you wasted me!" Donegan's response, "It was no contest!"

Well maybe this is one of the reasons why I didn´t go there,

First of all during that time I never heard a mentor tellin me about Dorothy Donegan, they might tell me to listen to Tatum, Bud, Monk, Garland, Wynton Kelly,  McCoy, Cecil Taylor, Herbie Hancock etc. , but I think Donegan was not mentioned much among musicians or even music lovers of the scene then or now. 
And.....as it was told to me it was over-pianistic, while I want to hear if a piano player connects well with the bass player and the drummer, each of the instruments very important to me. 

It also may explain, why Mr. Axel Melhard (boss of Jazzland) later complained, that there was not enough audience for Dorothy Donegan. 
Some one told me that when she banged the final chord of a tune, she lost her "peruca" (don´t know how you say for artificial hair), it was a tragic-comic thing with a woman too "overdressed" for a small cellar club.

Never saw that . Is this the original quartet or is it augmented and if yes, with whom.

I guess it wasn't about Bill Hardman but about Junior Cook  https://www.organissimo.org/forum/topic/90364-junior-cook-in-excelsis/

Anthony Braxton / John Lindberg – Six Duets (1982)

A record shop near me that mostly does obscure indie and non-jazz avant garde has a job lot of fairly obscure Braxton in, and let's just say I had a gift voucher to cash in.

I'd never heard of this one. A good simple on that focuses on the saxophone playing in quite a straight setting.

There's always more Braxton.

I really rate that one. World Of Echo?

[Rabshakeh]

Yep. It's a lot cheaper with a gift voucher!

I found it a bit disappointing on first listen. I need to listen more. The sound is excellent, as on all of Night Dreamer's records.  If you don't have it, I would look for Knoel Scott Live in Alaska, which I bought from him at a posthumous Sun Ra Arkestra concert, as it is quite good.
