Jimmy Lyons: Push / Pull

[Matthew]

Jimmy Lyons' Push / Pull is something I've been trying to track down. Has it ever been release in cd? Or is it one of those releases that appeared for ten seconds, and now I have to mortgage my house to buy?

Push / Pull:

Mary Mary -- 32:50

After You Left A -- 15:55

After You Left B -- 6:55

Tortuga -- 17:40

Push Pull -- 14:30

Breakout -- 21:30

Jimmy Lyons - alto sax

Karen Borca - bassoon

Hayes Burnett - bass

Munner Bernard Fennell - cello

Roger Blank - drums

Recorded live by Karen Borca, May 6, 1978 at the Collective for Living Cinema NY, NY.

Came out on vinyl and was never reissued.

I grabbed my set during its brief visit on Earth!

Figures, while this remains unissued on cd, I'm sure the one millionth Who compilation being is assembled as we speak...

...and I suppose it's wonderful music also! Borca & Lyons were wonderful together.

Was this originally issued on (one of) the Hat label(s)?

[brownie]

It's a 3-LP set issued in 1979 on the Hat Hut label.

Thanks Brownie.

I think I have seen all or portions of this session out there on the tubes.

I bought a copy of Push/Pull a few years ago for over $100, but recently saw one on eBay sell for well under that. It is an absolute keeper. I imagine that Hat Hut made enough of them that you will find one eventually. It is a great spin.

In the meantime I've "settled" for a copy of Jump Up which wasn't that easy to find either.

It's excellent.

I used to have this, but the pressing was defective (blemished vinyl on a sealed copy). Wouldn't mind having a clean one...

I wouldn't call that settling. One of my favorites.

Hat is just one label, with various series of releases (such as currently hatOLOGY and hat[NOW]art).

Would love to have "Push/Pull", too!

Got "Jump Up" on CD some years ago - excellent one!

Jump Up is slated for re-release by Hatology in the coming months. A full listing is available at http://www.hathut.com but other exciting titles include Braxton Santa Cruz 1993 and the Ayler 1966 Lorrach and Berlin, Stockholm dates.

That'll be nice but don't hold your breath.

Took approx. 4 years from when The Long March was announced until it was finally reissued.

More News For Lulu is one that I've been waiting for.

Reissueing the hatOLOGY titles in the same series still seems silly to me.

Why don't they just get 3000 more pressed and sell them as "2010 2nd Edition" or what it says on the back covers, instead of giving them new numbers?

I'm a bit pissed because I went places and spent money for several of those that will now be reissued, too... I didn't expect this to happen some years ago (was Shipp's "Multiplication Table" the first one to be duplicated with new catalogue number?)

The Ayler Berlin/Stockholm will be a first legit release of live material that was part of the Ayler tree. (Or was is it in the Revenant Box, too?)

On the positive side, it's very good to get "Garden" back (I never managed to find it), and also the Braxton 4CD set!

Getting to the Corbett vs Dempsey reissue of Push Pull today....oh my! I remembered it well, but this is even better. Maybe not "essential" for ALL the world, but for the one that this one is addressing, it certainly is.

And sorry, Karen Borca dislikers/haters/etc. The woman can seriously play. But(?) Lyons is the main thing here, Jimmy Lyons playing the entire instrument and, if not the entire mind, at least the whole mind.
