Here's a request:
I would like to hear the solo on Horo from Michael Smith 'DUALITIES OF MAN' or the duo wih Steve Lacy on IAI ... maybe someone...
Thanks
Good one. Whatever happened to Michael Smith?
Smith is still alive, residing in Sweden and making music. He has a myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/composerpianist/
Being the online ashtray of social media that myspace is, it's hard to garner a lot of information from the site - but you can find out that he still seems to play, has worked with large-scored music, and had a delightful looking wife who is *considerably* younger that himself.
I think his mesmerising beard and the smoke drifiting on the cover are appropriate here - it's a very 'dramtic' record - and one I enjoy.
Thanks onxidlib!
I will get organized - and find and rip 'The Dualities of Man' - it's worth hearing.
The duet with Lacy should still be available from Bley's label? http://www.improvart.com/cds/iaicat.htm
That is a really amazing/ridiculous album cover. Got to love that '70's photography and design!
Fair to say that not many other Storyville releases looked quite like this one - or at all like this one in fact. I'd put it down more to Michael J Smith's preferences and direction, than the decade. Have you seen the back cover ? !! A conventional band shot - but Smith looks saturnine beyond belief (!) - really extraordinary.
There's some great music on here too - although it is possible that the stereo effect on track 6 Nevenka might make you feel vaguely nauseous.
I did not mean to comment earlier that this record was 'dramtic' - but rather 'dramatic' - which it is in spades!
thank you for a new one from Michael Smith
i look forward to hearing this. many thanks.
Oh, man! Never thought I'd ever see THIS again! Bought it somewhere around 1976-77 and since then have never come across any other recordings. Haven't heard it in at least 15 years [no longer have a working turntable]. Looking forward to comparing it to my memory of it. Many thanks.

heard his "Totality" already, posted here yesterday, which seemed unexpectedly interesting to me, so it looks like i will certainly enjoy the way this man's playing in his other solo works, like this one, if the link will be reuploaded, of course :)

dirty vagabond

Can this re-up? Thanks.
over a year later and also requesting a re-up - please ! thank you
Have searched for my rip but it hasn't surfaced.
I have the LP but a new rip is not in my possible schedule at the moment.
Maybe someone who dl it might be able to help.
