Another Parachute Classic , with a unique sound world all of its own, i've always loved this one ..which in a lot of quarters gets a pretty bum rap... including one by Kaiser Himself !

Kaiser is still bopping around berkeley. I see him in restaurants now and then. Not the others so much.

Henry is still quite the active player. Heard him scorch the room this year in Josh Allen's nearly 20-piece Deconstruction Orchestra & the 2 of them have a quartet gig in Berkeley, joined by Bill Winant & an interesting drummer who studied w/ Blackewell, Timothy Orr. & don't forget Henry's Songs of Ayler release a few years back.

John Gruntfest was for years a major figure on the bay area's free jazz/improv scene - one hell of player too. Largely retired now, he made a very special appearance at Berkeley Arts back in January w/ another rarely heard bay area legend, pianist Gregg Goodman, whose Beak Doctor recordings some of the Evan Parker freaks here must know.

Anyone have a copy of C.K.Noyes 'World and the Raw People'. There is an incredible track by ck and kaiser that I've been trying to dig up for years.
