hi onxidlib,

many 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.

murphy 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.'

Very welcome.

Dewey's also on Paul Bley's "Barrage" (rec. 1964.10.15 for ESP).

[This one's new to me. Thanks for posting.]

It is not like there is a ton of Jimmy Lyons without Cecil Taylor...
and i am not at all familiar with Karen Borca... so this is much appreciated.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Dewey 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.

A 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.
