Leeway Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 This is on a West Wind LP. Some folks have told me that this is pretty close to a grey market or even bootleg label. I have a Braxton Quartet LP on West Wind and it sound quite good, better than the similar LEO label release. What's the story on West Wind?

Quite possibly it is, but I think this one is a close contender -- at least: Not bad, but I'll own up to selling mine not too long ago as it wasn't getting any plays. I think it's the organistaion of The Flam that I like as well as some astonishing playing by what is really a super group. This is on a West Wind LP. Some folks have told me that this is pretty close to a grey market or even bootleg label. I have a Braxton Quartet LP on West Wind and it sound quite good, better than the similar LEO label release. What's the story on West Wind? I don't know too much about the West Wind label. The odd one or two that have come my way were recordings fron East Germany . There's a nice Art Ensemble 2cd on the label though it's out on anothe rlabel now if memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I am not a fan of the ECM sound, I really like that one and don't find it too "ECM-y." Doctor Too Much rules - I also dig Positions 3-6-9 with Jerome Cooper (it's his date) and Kalaparusha.

colinmce Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Can't speak for the rest of the West Wind catalogue, but the Braxton LP is and was thoroughly unauthorized. AB was extremely upset by it, and I think he and either Graham Locke or Brian Morton took to The Wire to urge people not to buy it. It's been 25 years or so now of course so it's less of a sore point, but that's the score on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Joe McPhee with the Bill Smith Ensemble. Sackville LP, 1985. This is a smoking hot album. Everyone is on fire, none more so than McPhee. The group does Ayler's "GHOSTS," but the whole album is permeated with Ayler's spirit. The Bill Smith Ensemble doesn't seem to have lasted long or recorded much, but their performance here can't be faulted. The sleeve on my copy of the LP is inscribed in the left margin by McPhee, "To ---- [not me], Best, Joe McPhee." Above that, in the upper left corner of the sleeve, in the same handwriting, "Just out of the 'john'." Not sure if it is referring to the cover photo or the timing of the autograph.

I always thought it would be a great idea for someone to do an album of Albert Ayler tunes in the style of Jimmy Giuffre. Until I heard Joe McPhee do it on Oleo ("Astral Spirits").
