There's a development, a logic, a lack of "licks" to Ra's bands of this era that draws me in and keeps me in. I hear John Gilmore and MArshall Allen working with the overtones and the "false" fingerings, and whereas with so many players, they work that and then go somewhere else, these guys don't just stay there, they move around inside it. None of this doodly-doodly-doodly faux shit, no these are ideas being engaged, confronted, and worked through/out.

Anthony Braxton - For Alto (Delmark). Mastered for CD by Chuck Nessa.
Miles Davis Quintet - Bootleg Series, Vol. 2 (Columbia). Disc two - Antibes, July 26, 1969.
Gerry Mulligan - Re-Birth of the Cool (GRP). It's nice to have these arrangements in such great sound - but this album is a far cry from the original in spirit and substance; it doesn't get played often at my house.
Louis Nelson Big Four, Volume One (GHB). Recorded during the George Lewis's second tour (of three) of Japan, if I remember correctly. The great New Orleans trombonist is joined by Lewis, Joe Robichaux on piano, and banjoist Emanuel Sayles. Wonderful New Orleans chamber music.

They were both very commercial artists. Boismortier, like Marin Marais before him, discovered the burgeoning market of the bourgeoisie and wrote tiny pieces that young ladies could play when papa was entertaining business associates and show off their prowess and perhaps put themselves in a better position in the marriage stakes. They published them themselves, sold them in their own shops and made pots of dough. They're my heroes.
