Wickets by Steve Lacy Four from Morning Joy - recorded 11/19/86

With that incendiary Steve Potts alto solo followed by a sublime Lacy indescribable excursion on his horn.

16 minutes of perfection

Maybe someone somewhere will try to duplicate it!

I wonder who would play *those* saxophone solos?!?!?

A friend sent me his version of "Embraceable You", just a snippet but I love it. I tell him to pursue singing, but he is insecure about it and will probably just stick to his other instrument, the bass.

I'm looking forward to finally getting an affordable copy now that it's been reissued.

For me this week it's Chris Connor singing "Moonlight In Vermont" on Criss Craft.

I've been watching this clip for a couple of days now, and it just seems that so many things come together is such a casual way, the music, the dancing, the sound, the look of the set, especially the directing, that it's an amazing testament of "art" emerging from the most unlikely places.

It is indeed lovely, I also watched some more clips of Bobby Fuller, can anyone recommend a good compilation? Love how you froze the clip at the exact moment the closest dancer flips her skirt up!

A performance of "The Second Race" by the Thad-Mel band from a Zurich (IIRC) concert from 1977, played for me by a friend (and a former reed section sub with the band in in the '70s) who a while back was given by a friend of his 17 (!) CDs worth of Thad-Mel concert material. Sound quality was great, and the rhythm section (Mel, Harold Danko, and Rufus Reid) was in terrific form. Soloist was a young Dick Oatts, on tenor.
