BillF Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 I have to laugh whenever I see this cover photo. Having grown up in NYC, I did not see a cow in the flesh until I was in my early 20s! (seriously). Driving down a country lane at the time, I saw a herd of cows grazing near the fence line. I had my new wife take a picture of me posed before the cow herd. Moondoc must have had something of the same feeling. My wife used to teach inner-city 3 and 4 year olds. On a trip to the countryside, one of them looked out of the bus and remarked, "Cows don't wear clothes, do they?" Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Herb Geller - Fungi Mama (Comet Records). Live date from Siegen, (West) Germany in 1984. Looks like a boot but sounds like a professional recording. Polite playing by all. I've never heard of anyone in the rhythm section: Hartmut Sperl, paino; Bernd Wolf, bass & Achim Brauer, drums.

mjazzg Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 KONSTANZE's DELIGHT - Jemeel Moondoc Sextet: Moondoc (as), Roy Campbell (tp). Khan Jamal (vibes), Wm Parker (b), Dennis Charles (d), Ellen Christ (voice). 1981. Another exciting Moondoc album. I like the addition of Khan Jamal. provides nice texture. Ellen Christi likes to get in there and mix it up with Roy Campbell it seems. Enjoying a first listen to this on Spotify. Khan Jamal's name piqued my interest. Christi certainly addds something Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 I'm glad there's at least one other Moondoc fan here. He doesn't get a lot of love on this board. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 I love what of his I've heard-- need to actually pick up copies of the records. Prices on the first two Muntu LPs are insane lately - don't know why, they're strong but not impossible to find - but it's all worth digging into. The Cadence is easy to obtain and cheap/still in print, and the Soul Notes are also generally cheap and in as-new if not "new" condition. The Eremite CDs are all killer, too. I like the Poljazz pretty well but the pressing is turd-like (unsurprisingly). Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Masahiko Togashi & Masayuki Takayanagi "pulsation" (paddlewheel, Japan) I have not played this in over 10 years...a great 1983 duo concert from these veterans of the Japanese free jazz scene. Quote

I must have got s bit lucky on my PolJazz, mine's not that bad, although it will never be mistaken for an audiophile release. Still, I loved the performance and so would recommend it. As for early Muntu, I really like the Muntu 3-CD box on No Business. Quote

I saw him at Vision Fest last year and, even ill, he played extraordinarily well. I might say he is a wonderful musician, whereas others are often "just" fine trombonists (no shame in that, but no glory either). Edited March 13, 2014 by Leeway Quote

Nice quintet date led by trombonists Nick Evans and Radu Malfatti (back when he played hot trombone as opposed to staring at his shoe). Keith Tippett, Buschi Niebergall and Makaya Ntshoko are also on board. Quote
