  5. Very very nice album. Some stellar playing particularly from Don Cherry whose trumpet is a dry as the middle eastern sands Hajj transverses. And any Carlos Ward is always welcome (surely one of the sweetest altos)

  8. Thank you. I love your blog, not only because it helped me reconstruct my LP collection, left on the other side of the atlantic, but also because of all the stuff that I was not even aware existed. And yes, there are sisters!

  10. Thank you very much, this blog is amazing!

    There is a problem when trying to download from links that take you LNX.lu however; after pressing" skip this ad" to go to the download link I am redirected to a page to sign a petition, with no possible way to get to the download link.

    Specifically, this album, George Lewis Ensemble Live In Verona '79, Anthony Braxton Quintet Live In Milan '77, and Ted Curson Live In Monterey '77 I cannot download because of this. Would it be possible to post links to these directly to rapidshare?

    Thanks a lot
