Jim Robinson (Smoky Mary). This fine 1976 album is Big Jim's last. I bought it in Preservation Hall last month. I was tickled to once again see vinyl for sale at the Hall (new and vintage); on my first visit (in 1990), I bought The December Band, Volume 2 and Kid Howard's Sam Morgan Revisited there, and felt like the records were as legendary as the venue itself.

And I know that those titles won't mean much to most folks here, but they're among the best New Orleans-style recordings of the 1960s.

Another one I snagged this weekend. 'Not entirely what I was expecting. Recorded in '68, released in '75, I believe on Black Lion. I dig Barney Kessel, but this one seemed to be recorded with an eye on trying to win over the masses, with a good bit of late '60's style pop and folkisms dispersed throughout, giving it a rather "dated" overall vibe. Not an essential Kessel album by any means, although I wouldn't call it bad, and it definitely has some inspired moments.

Steve Lacy "the wire" (denon, Japan) enjoyed with the company of B. Clugston who came for a visit!

Ooh - yeah, I gotta make a trek to Vancouver to hang with you guys.

I'll be rolling into Van in December if anyone is interested in a get-together !

Alas, I'll have to wait until next year but I trust you three will have a pint in my absence!

It's cheaper to fly here than to buy a copy of Lacy's The Wire. Homefromtheforest has an incredible record collection as many of you might have gathered from the recent blindfold test.

Would love to meet up. DM me when you are in town.

Will do. Hopefully we could do a 'group meet'.
