ReplyDelete& w/ Jimmy Lyons! It's look a very good one; thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteJimmy ... any time. THANK YOU.
ReplyDeletehi onxidlib,
ReplyDeletemany thanks for this gem - really a very good free jazz record. it's a fantastic post especially for jimmy lyons and karen borca fans. there are not too many recordings of karen borca - in my opinion the best female free jazz improviser. and this record seems to be very rare one - i have never seen it in any record store including the biggest ones in usa, canada, u.k. and germany.
best regards.

And recording of Dewy Johnson is very rare, I guess. Other his recordings I know are Coltrane's "Ascension" and Paul Murphy's "Red snapper" only.
ReplyDeletemurphy was quite active on youtube postings for a while. first dug him in spearman's trio. whipsnap of the quicksilver paradiddles! i owe my long passion for bassoon to karen borca and, I suppose, maurice ravel. absolutely loved her on eneidi's 'final disconnect notice.'
ReplyDeleteVery welcome.
ReplyDeleteDewey's also on Paul Bley's "Barrage" (rec. 1964.10.15 for ESP).
ReplyDelete[This one's new to me. Thanks for posting.]
It is not like there is a ton of Jimmy Lyons without Cecil Taylor...
ReplyDeleteand i am not at all familiar with Karen Borca... so this is much appreciated.
Is it possible to get a re-up of this? Thanks

ReplyDeleteonxidlib, the re-posts of late have all been outstanding. This, however is extraordinary! Thank you, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Thank you Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDewey Johnson was one of the most under-rated new voices on trumpet in the sixties and its great to hear him. Just a shame he never got more opportunities to record.
Agreed. Fine trumpeter
ReplyDeleteA superbe album taht I discovered not so long ago and a nice way to pay tribute to the memory of another almost unknown great musician.
