Dave Grant is the drummer on most of the tracks from that LP. Price or Rashied Ali were the usual drummers for the group; after Ali committed to Coltrane, Shelley Rusten became the drummer of choice. Byard Lancaster and Sam Rivers were frequent saxophone guests post-Marion.

Amen on Frank Smith and "Taking it Out of the Ground." He now lives in the Bay Area, apparently, but doesn't do music. He was (and is) a painter as well.

Sunny Murray (ESP, stereo)

with Jacques Coursil, Jack Graham, Byard Lancaster, Al Silva

Man, I looove that one. 60's-style Sunny had just the right measure of anarchy, intelligence, and groove. (Coursil, among other quite formidable faces, is always welcome.)

I'm still awed at the number of outstanding albums that ESP put out in the sixties. I was not sure at the time that that many would stand the test of time. I know better now -_-

Ric Colbeck - The Sun Is Coming Up - (Fontana UK orig)

Now:

Theo Loevendie Three - Stairs! - (Artone orig)

Great trio with Maarten Altena and Johnny Engels (where the young Bennink got his sound, I think). Supposedly the first "proper" Dutch free jazz record, from '67.

Alexander Spence: Oar

I used to know the words to "Lawrence from Oblivion" or whatever it was called...

Great record. :tup

"Lawrence of Euphoria"

Oar is one of the handful of rock records (tho it's not a "rock" record at all) from the 60's that I still listen to these days.

Right, right, thanks. Been a while.

"Vivian from Oblivion" is the line I was thinking of...

Shelly Manne and his Men, Vol. 5 'More Swinging Sounds' (Contemporary, mono)

the very first Contemporary album I got back in 1957. Started my passion for Roy DuNann!

Still plays incredibly vivid!
