I fondly remember the tour of which that gig was one of the engagements: Larry Stabbins - standing in for Jerry Underwood, seen here, who is sadly no longer with us - starting an extended blues solo on tenor over a slow tempo that gradually accelerated in Mingus fashion as his playing became increasingly agitated, spilling over the boundaries, an object lesson in taking inspiration from familiar terrain into unfamiliar; Nick Evans's trombone imperiously belting it out in Roswell Rudd manner over that triumphant hymn-like theme before the final "Irish" recapitulatory dash. I've got the Exeter (possibly) broadcast on a D90.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Interesting (being of the same age) to see Nick's hair had somewhat beaten a retreat by 1986...but sensibly cropped. I hadn't seen him since the 1960s. The eighties was a "cross over period" between fading hair and the numero 2.

BN.

In case you were wondering what Ingrid Laubrock has been up to since she moved to the States: https://www.artsforart.org/onlinesalon.html

Plus other notables such as Joe McPhee and Pheeroan AkLaff on other nights.

Many thanks for that. Ingrid was over here last year and played the Vortex, which I didn't attend. Much though I like, respect and admire her steadfastness, especially now living in the States - (how on earth do they survive there, never mind Corvid19?) - I coudn't figure out her latest album. But I had suspected this would be the direction her music would take, even from before Tom, and told her to make sure to stick with what her creative juices were telling her; the tracks on the link are much more characterful though, without signalling any backtracking. No wonder Braxton chose her. Interesting though (and for me sad) that she should have found her ideal direction in America, rather than here, as would once have been the case.

You're welcome. I saw the link over on another site and thought of you.

I don't know how any musicians survive over there without healthcare, etc especially now that the gigs have dried up. They must all live on food parcels or summat.

Yep, probably somewhere around '74 - Ornette experimented with a number of line-ups prior to forming Prime Time, some of them with personnel who would later populate PT.
