I'm listening to some live tracks and demos that Jack Wilkins had on his now-disabled website.  He had 50 demos and live tracks available for streaming, with 10 of those available for free download.  I can't get any of the streaming tracks to play on the archive site, but at least I have an hourlong sampler.

Yes the early Prestige have 2 good  examples if you mean these?

Is that from the Woofy 10 CD box?

Yes, that´s it ! And the Konitz session with Miles I think from 1951 with those strange titles "Odjenar", "Hi Beck" "Ezzthetics" . So actually I think I have three from Prestige.

Sellout? Hardly. Naive is more like it. And simultaneously depressing and funny.

I want to hear it. I have read much about it and I think if I remember right Impulse! in the late 60´s early 70´s  made efforts to make "Free Jazz" more accesible for wider audiences, some kind of "Free Jazz light" . I think this one sold quite well. I saw it in the record stores when I was a teenie, but was a bit afraid to buy it for two reasons:

I was hip to late Trane, to Ornette, to Pharoah and Sun Ra, but was a bit afraid that Albert Ayler would be too radical for me to enjoy, which he sure wasn´t . And I didn´t like the cover photo. For first sight it looked to me like an unshaved pelvis

I miss the days when artists streamed stuff on their websites. I wish I had saved more of it for future listening as chances are that this material will never surface again - certainly not legitimately at least. I have a ton of live performances from Jeremy Pelt & Greg Osby, but there were several other artists who stopped hosting live material that I wished I'd saved. Those days are gone I guess.

Great version of "You Stepped Out of a Dream" as I remember. I played that tune in a bossa rhythm on stage but like to cook on those changes also in a brisk straight ahead tempo like it is here. Many dudes here play the also on that chords based "Chick´s Tune".
