I don't even know who a few of the guys on his list are, and I'm familiar with none of the albums. Anybody have thoughts on this?

aka


Satchmo, HELP!!!!






Of that list, all you need is


Nipples
Indent
Uhuru Na Umoja - I would suggest taking a closer look at the reissue portion of Satchmo's 2005 list. All the similar limited edition releases are are either a must or excellent.
Duo Exchange



If you listened to Mingus' Changes One and Changes Two....you know Don Pullen. I would also check

Let's see....we just discussed the illustration (aka human anatomy) on a record that Sunny Murray plays drums on.



Marion Brown is on Ascension.


His best as leader would be Three For Shepp. His take on Archie Shepp's Four for Trane.



ESP Disk recently reissued this classic.

Yeah, I knew the three you talked about. The ones I didn't know were Dave Burrell (name rings a bell, but maybe I'm just thinking of Kenny), Milford Graves, Arthur Doyle, Ric Colbeck, Frank Lowe, Marzette Watts, Black Artists Group, Frank Wright, and Dr. Umezu-Seikatsu Kojyo Iinkai. So does Thurston Moore just have really weird preferences for free jazz? Seems like he'd have a good idea of what he's talking about.

You would know Burrell most with his work with Archie Shepp and/or David Murray.


Hell of a paino player.


You know and have heard Milford Graves. You're just going Seba on Satchmo.


aka


Albert Ayler's Holy Ghost box set. He is one of the earliest Free Jazz drummers. You might also want to take a bit closer look at Satchmo's drummers list in your 3 musicians thread.



Frank Wright is in that Ayler set, as well.



Sebaitus appears to be contagious.


All the others on that list are nice to have if you find them.

Great link and another opportunity to delve even more deeply into the wonders of what may be my favorite genre of music. Don't feel bad, of those you don't know the only one I know is Milford Graves. I'm no good at who played on such and such and all that. Plus, my memory sucks.

Come on now, my memory may be bad, but at least I can generally recall which musicians I have/haven't heard. Generally.

Just recently picked up Holy Ghost. Phenomenal.

I just recently listened to the Black Artists Gorup (BAG). What can I say? The more I dig into free jazz the more I realize how much digging there is to do. Well worth it. I found a really cool ripped from vinyl encoding on soulseek.

Now I want to dedicate a little ZZ Top interpolation to whomever originally uploaded those files

You didn't have to rip it from vinyl to mp3 and post it on the Internet for me to download but you did but you did but you did and I THANK YOU

It's strange how quickly I got tired of Holy Ghost. I really liked Alyer early on, and now I've removed all my Ayler stuff out of my 'Stellar Jazz' file on my iTunes into my 'Not Without Its Charm Jazz' file - right in there with Acoustic Ladyland.
