Joe McPhee's Survival Unit III - Live NYC Vision Festival 2007 ,FLAC and LAME



This recording comes by way of a torrent (thanks to "jazzrita" for seeding). It is an audience recording. The sound quality is reasonable, I'd say typical of a modern audience boot. I've enclosed a small 1 min mp3 sample (see Links) so you can judge for yourself.



Concert details:

I'd be interested to know where McPhee got the name "Survival Unit" (was it a personal statement about his life?), why there wasn't a SU I, but III came 30 years or so after II.

    Many thanks for this Boromir. McPhee to me is a wholly original giant. I'll never understand why he flies beneath the radar. Nice to see some of Chicago's lesser known lights getting out there, too.

    Thanks again!

    actually "survival unit one" was a pre-recorded tape. in early 70s joe used to have it on hand when some of his band members could not make it to the show.

    survival unit ii (recently re-issued by hathut guys) is one of the essential albums in his discography. used to be very difficult to find. now it is thankfully available again.

    this here is a very good set. i'd recommend to visitors visout hesitation.

    all the best,
