@ onxi

congratulations, you've just published the post No.1000 on IS :
you have won a nice gadget kinabalu will be happy to send you straight home!
Joking apart, I think that Misha is perfect for this important aim.

p.s.
we still have to do something for A True Jazz Legend.

Thx a lot Bil Dixon. These early MMs are really appreciated. Hm, already then MM couldn't play without his fag. Must have leather lips by now

Thanks!! Really nice and interesting period before wilder years of free jazz. Mr. Peacock's gentle touch is just amazing.

Does anyone know are there any other known treasure's by Mr. Peacock outside Ayler's group from mid sixties?

yes, big thanks, wow, Piet had completely absorbed Dolphy's bag and this already in 64. I had to double check that the first cut really wasn't an Eric track. Great solo.
