felser Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Chuck, Yes, Steig Flute Fever is superb. A good two steps up from the work with Bill Evans. I agree with that, even being that I'm the one that mentioned the Evans. Quote
king ubu Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 FWIW: I've once suggested an RCA set to Mosaic - got a favourable answer from MC, but of course you never know if it might happen or not... Quote
king ubu Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Uhm, a Lacy RCA set I meant to say... Quote
jonathanhorwich Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 Love to hear the Waldron Lacy work. I'll see if I can find that baby. That sounds like a prime candidate. Anybody every heard Lacy playing straight as an arrow on Gil Evans plus 10? Very nice stuff indeed. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Uhm, a Lacy RCA set I meant to say... The RCA Lacy material always sounded hard/digital as recordings to me. Quote
Late Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Some small group Sam Rivers would be great. Essence - The Heat And Warmth of Free Jazz, the tuba trio live at Amsterdam's BIM HUIS in 1976, has some truly stellar moments (e.g. the on-fire "Group With Tenor" from Vol. 1). Rivers' Paragon and The Quest are also excellent trio records (with bass instead of tuba). To my ears, all of these records step up the energy that one hears on Dogon A.D.. Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 how about some Dean Benedetti? I mean, recordings of HIS playing, not Bird's. Quote
J.A.W. Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 how about some Dean Benedetti? I mean, recordings of HIS playing, not Bird's. Available on the Mosaic set. Benedetti's own playing? Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 how about some Dean Benedetti? I mean, recordings of HIS playing, not Bird's. Available on the Mosaic set. Benedetti's own playing? Yes, there's a demo acetate of a Benedetti band which includes Jimmy Knepper and some home recordings - Benedetti playing along with records, etc. Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) I thought it might be interesting. Maybe mixed in with a few cuts of Andy Kirk Jr. and the remaining sessions of Emmett Hardy. Edited March 28, 2012 by AllenLowe Quote

A copmlete edition of the Bimhuis material would be wonderful! Would be a 3CD set, I assume... or could it be squeezed (squozen?) onto two? I've not heard the final encore, and it seems the Circle LPs had the sets jumbled around or something (and the two encores only appeared on LPs by various artists). "Paragon" is a wonderful album, in my opinion. Got the LP and a friend made me a CDR-dub (which I've not even listened to yet... got to do that soon). That's a fine suggestion for a single Rivers album, I think (but I don't nearly know all of his seventies albums, I think). Quote
Stefan Wood Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Other suggestions: Creative Construction Company (2 lps on Muse, which might be an issue) Charles Tyler Quintet - Definite, parts 1 & 2 (but it is on Storyville) Black Unity Trio - Al-Fatihah (Salaam records, with abdul wadud, joe phillips and haasan al hut) Quote
Niko Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Black Unity Trio - Al-Fatihah (Salaam records, with abdul wadud, joe phillips and haasan al hut) dimly remember reading about someone trying to reissue that one and not getting past either wadud or phillips who was against a reissue for some reason or other... (Ubu?) (clips on youtube sound pretty great to me though... on page 60 here is more on this band Edited March 28, 2012 by Niko Quote
Stefan Wood Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) I really liked this album. Exceptional? Can't say, but this is well above average, to my ears. Edited March 28, 2012 by Stefan Wood Quote

Thought it was Mumin (Phillips), while Wadud's whereabouts remain mysterious... also I think the album - while certainly being some kind of underground classic - doesn't live up to Jonathan's expectations.

colinmce Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Extension is now available at Dusty Groove, or rather, will be for a couple hours. I went the Amazon route since I have Prime, so lord knows when mine will show up. Quote
Peter Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 Re the gnashing of teeth over the cost of a Joe Daley 3 disc box, my view is that any self-respecting jazz obsessive has no choice. If JLH puts it out, you buy it. End of story. Quote
CraigP Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 Re the gnashing of teeth over the cost of a Joe Daley 3 disc box, my view is that any self-respecting jazz obsessive has no choice. If JLH puts it out, you buy it. End of story. I like your "avatar" image. I clearly remember going to the record store when I was a teenager and buying that Andrew Hill as well as the Sam Rivers from the same series. I had never heard either player at that time. They changed my life! Particularly the Hill; now I have everything he ever released. Quote
Peter Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 The twofer LP sets were popular in the 1970s. Blue Note & Fantasy both released a bunch. Quote

jonathanhorwich Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Posted April 16, 2012 Hey all, thanks to all of you who recommended I hear Gene Shaw's Carnival Sketches. Very fine LP which I had never heard. Love it. And yes this must be his best work as it is awfully good. I guess next will be Steig. And good news. Looks like I have the rights to Carter Bradford Flying Dutchman and, if I wish, Tapscott, The Giant Is Awakened. So that is very very good news. The Flying Dutchman catalog was finally sold and I got first rights to those performances. Those I'll do soon, because I need some big smackers to do Joe Daley correctly. I'll probably just run 1000 Joe Daley's and it will be a gorgeous box set and a one time take it or leave it affair. Anyway, we're making progress here. And for those who have not heard Steig's Flute Fever, you'll be wowed. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 Great idea for the Daley box. I suggest you initiate an Extension discussion. No need to rely on Julius for that. Quote
