7/4 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 The Dolphy, of course! It took me a couple of days to hear about the death of Alan Douglas. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Sorry to hear this. He spearheaded some wonderful sessions. Quote
mjzee Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Around 2 years ago, I saw a coming release announcement on Amazon for an Alan Douglas career retrospective. It never came out, probably because he didn't own the rights to many of the recordings. But I found an image of the cover: There were some amazing, interesting people in the '50's and '60's; Douglas was one and Tom Wilson was another. Rainmakers. Here's a mention in the Wall St Journal.

BFrank Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Posted June 13, 2014 More interesting tidbits in that WSJ piece, too. Quote
mjzee Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Douglas also released the film El Topo in the US. Quote
JSngry Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Eric Dolphy, Money Jungle, Last Poets, hey. RIP. Quote
