  4. Thank you! I've known Nommo for a few years, but the first LP has been a bit of a holy grail search for me. Wonderful to hear this now - the music is extraordinary, and seems to anticipate much of what followed - several of Cecil Taylor's duets with drum & percussion from Berlin 1988, for example. Wouldn't it be great to see these 1966 recordings remastered and reissued? I wonder if the master tapes still exist.

  6. Thanks (Again!) Nick!
    I have rips of these two already but couldn't resist d/l'ing them again knowing how good your vinyl transfers sound!

    Some people celebrate the birthday of a certain other fella on December 25; but for me the occasion on that day is to always celebrate the birthday of Don Pullen!!! :-) --dandor

  14. Not only Damon Smith mentioned that Jon Corbett from the label 'Corbett vs Dempsey' has plans to reissue the complete recordings from this concert.
    Some month ago I've read in Corbett's last book 'Vinyl Freak', that he has already agreed with Milford Graves about a reissue. So it is more or less in the pipeline and we won't reup the links.
