Nice tribute to Jerome Cooper. Did you not have a copy of Unpredictability of Predictability? The composition 'The Crouch Opinion' was a response to the review of Unpredictability of Predictability that Stanley wrote for The Village Voice. It was originally a piece for solo percussion that Jerome arranged for that particular album and sextet.

You're right; I don't have that album. I wish I did.

Both of the Jerome Cooper albums on About Time are available from Dusty Groove, LP only. https://www.dustygroove.com/search.php?sf=jerome+cooper They don't carry a large inventory but they are reordering fairly regularly. I can also arrange to send them privately using paypal. Let me know if you're interested.
