"Tonight on Jazz on 3 we explore the decisions and processes involved in producing posthumous albums, paying a visit to the archives of improvising guitarist Derek Bailey in a feature that explores how such releases can impact on a jazz musician’s artistic legacy."
V. Interesting piece on last night's Jo3 on cashing in, and or artistic/historic worth of dead player's work released "after you've gone"...Alyn S praised the Swiss concert tapes of Buck Clayton and Chet and Dick T in Belguim, regreted Dizzy on Telmark; John Fordham wept over Miles lip long gone doing Gil with Quincy, and some interesting tapes of Monk rehearsing/working stuff out/being Monk
I'd nominate Paul Gonsalves "Hummingbird" from c. 1971 with Kenny Wheeler, Stan Tracey etc. as doing Paul G. no favours...either ill or over "refreshed". Nice band tho.
BN.
Some of Ron Coltrane's last (cross channel) cassette recordings are set for release when Moira signs the waver.
