I agree, terrific album. wondering if anybody has more Brackeen, his 3 Silkheart records are long unavailable
"his 3 Silkheart records are long unavailable"

Thanks for the tip Onxidlib, didnt know about Silkheart records, will purchase right away!
Of course I agree with all the praises.
There is another album from Charles Brackeen wich is totally out of print, but I cannot find it, neither second hand.
Charles Brackeen "Charles Concept" (1974)
Is reported only in a few website and no indication about label.
Does anybody knows something about it?
Uh, this is so good!! Definitely one of my favorite LPs. Thanks for spreading!!!! And since the 1st time hearing this I've been dreaming of more music by early Brackeen.
How about Melodic Artet from early 70's (Ahmed Abdullah, Charles Brackeen, Ronnie Boykins and Charles Moffett)? I think this group was already mentioned in As Serious as Your Life -book.
Still dreaming!

juicy info Sami, someone was offering it from old tapes here
http://www.freejazz.org/?q=node/2778
but the offer expired
as you says, let's dream it
Thanks, another Dream Team !
oh snap, this looks like I'm gonna spend years lookin for the vinyl. Thanks!!
I'm gonna fathom a guess that this is where Kool Keith got his "Rhythm X" alias from..
This si a very fine recording - sounded liek an Ornette first time I heard it, for obvious reasons.
Thanks for reminding me too, and ULing it!
please, even in the midst of all the flow of great new postings, any chance of a re-up of this? IS rules, there is no question … msj
...soon...
wonderful music, thank you very much and then some for this and the other great sounds you blog. msj
another dead one that needs to be alive !!!...THX !....
Won't do a re-up as it is readily available. Only in a box-set, but...
I can't find any reference to the box-set. Can you please point me to it? Thnx. dd
