Personnel includes Rufus Harley.
McCoy Tyner’s place in the 1960s avant-garde is undisputed but he knows his way around a standard! I think this is from 1964’s “Today and Tomorrow” - I figured the YouTube clip with the artist’s name misspelled on the opening slide was least likely to show you an ad.

“Fort Yawuh” is desert island for me - never really tried to nail down exactly why.
Jazz tapers! This has a tape-flip cut in one song so you know it’s legit! Apparently had a real reissue on Japanese label Solid last year.
Also, note to self, why have you been sleeping on Woody Shaw?
I guess show recordings (70s at least) matched the stage setup so Jerry was always audience-left.
Also a bit of a revelation - was listening to “Truckin’” on headphones and suddenly thought “Jerry’s on the wrong side!” - sure enough headphones were backwards but I never realized how deep in my DNA that stereo orientation is.
Keep Honking! I’m listening to “Dark Star” live at RFK Stadium 6/10/73.
But I have questions - the very low-pitched bass sounds that come in at the 20’ mark - Lesh, I guess? Don’t recall him doing anything so farty.
They’re still doing magnificent versions of “Playing In The Band” and even “The Other One” but “Scarlet Begonias” and “Let It Grow” are the reasons to collect this era.
The lads in their Northeastern university show era.
Vesuvius denialism getting its day - Big Lava doesn’t want you to know the truth!
Based on the “Everybody say fuck!” “FUCK!” Everybody say primate!” “What?” pre-Golden Road banter (assuming they didn’t do that more than once), it’s actually 5-5-67, not 2-12-67 - sound plausible? I’m making a digital copy and will send along shortly.
I get those - not owning a car makes them easy to ignore.
@bernardmeisler.bsky.social - these are your tapes I’m talking about!
Mine (partial, obviously) just says “Golden Road > New Potato Caboose Alligator”.
My mislabeling comment refers to lower left “Good Old Grateful Dead 1967-Fillmore West” but side 2 of the tape itself says “2-12-67”. This site - gratefuldeadoftheday.com/02-12-1967/- says “ Unfortunately, this show does not seem to be out there anywhere” - true?
D’oh - I’m trying to ascertain the accuracy of a 30-year-old cassette batch which probably has lots of mislabeling and then I mistype in my Googling! (Anyone want them?).
@bourgwick.bsky.social all online sources for the “Ladies and Gentlemen... the Grateful Dead” release say it is drawn from shows on April 25-29, 1971 at the Fillmore East, but also all online sources say the Fillmore East closed on April 27th, 1971 and the Dead last played there in March!
The Australian band Itchy Bugger.
Will freely admit the band name had me a little unsure what to expect but this is good! Kind of a Tall Dwarfs feel.
I generally regard Braxton as fairly cerebral - he really shreds on a lot of this.
Would have been great if I found about this when it came out, instead of 15 years later - at the 40+ mark, still fascinating.
Tempting to use some cliché like “this flew under the radar” - not even sure what radar we’d be talking about. Anyway it’s from 2021 and it’s good!
Finnish garage-rock trio with a “going straight on the mix-tape” stroke of genius. Pronouncing “cello” as “sello” compounds the whimsy: youtu.be/5_lHLVzU88I
The kitchen is getting the kind of cleaning it is lucky to get once a year. Thought I was being brave getting through a 4-CD ZZ Top comp in one go, but the 13-CD Ya Ho Wha box is what’s on as I finish the cabinets and brace for the floor - “Now Flexing”!
Listening to Zoot Horn Rollo’s 2001 “We Saw A Bozo Under The Sea.” Were I blindfolded and told it was a late 70s Allan Holdsworth record, I don’t think I’d have doubted.
William S. Fischer - “enigmatic” is easy to overuse but he’s been on 200 albums with no easy career summary. Lived in Europe for a year or so mid-60s but I’m not sure how this Basque folk song-inspired 1972 LP (with almost no credits) fits in. Library music vibe. Also NYC Public school teacher!
Why not come see us this Thursday? maindragmusic.com/collections/...
