If you don't have it already, just go and buy it. Close doors and windows,
sit back and enjoy these incredible solo's, duo's and trio's. Yes indeed,
improvised music can be this beautiful!!
I know they made another record a few years ago (Time will tell). I'm quite
sure this will be my next purchase. Maybe some comments?
NP: Paul Bley - Hands on (I really like his suggestive way of playing on
this record; amazing how little notes he needs to tell a whole story).

I've run across 3 or 4 copies of the Ice disc in the last few years
and sold them to folks who'd been searching for it. I guess it depends
where you live, but my advice would be to keep checking those obscure
little shops or dusty used/old stock bins ...

This is what I'm talking about. SF is a great place to be if you're
hunting for music, and no doubt there are other copies out there (either
used or still sitting in bins), esp. since Revolver (Midheaven) was the
US distro for Pathological.

There are 5 God CDs out there, a 12", "Breach Birth" (Situation Two),
which is 3 very early tracks, and a split 7" (one of the tracks from
the 12") with Terminal Cheesecake (another defunct band who made
some brilliant albums). The discs that I'm guessing you haven't
included are their first CD, "Loco" (1991, PDCD - another dead label,
or at least all of their early records are long gone -> this one
features Prevost on percussion), and their 3rd, "Consumed" (1993,
Sentrax - a label that has gone in and out of existence), both of
which were live. Have you tried Gemm, or Netsounds, or Ebay even?
I've seen all of the CDs used before at one time or another, but
they don't pop up all that often. Just keep checking those out
of the way places ...

I'm not sure what the criteria for excluding someone like Bley is, but I
would (also) include Lenny Tristano, Dodo Marmarosa, Mary Lou Williams (pre-
AND post-Bud), Herbie Nichols, Elmo Hope, Professor Longhair, Johnny Johnson,
Horace Tapscott, Sal Mosca, Ran Blake, Dave Burrell, Ursula Oppens, Kathleen
Supove, Stephan Drury, Irene Schweizer, Marilyn Crispell, Paul Plimley, and
Matthew Shipp.

I just picked up a sale copy of the 1993 recording of "Einstein on the Beach" and was wondering how it compares to the earlier one. Any thoughts?

Professor Longhair was my first thought too, but I thought he might have been
a little too obscure for this list. Thank you for mentioning this.

Aside from being longer and having different solos in the 4th act, the
main difference you'll hear is how much more lush the 1993 recording
is compared to the 1977. In the 77, you can hear every line, every
breath, you're never confused what's a soloist being miked and what's
a section of sopranos, as you can be in the 93. Generally though, the
93 is more precisely played and with the advances in synthesizer
sounds, I don't get the early synthesizer pure-wave headache like I
get when listening to the 77 version of Night Train.

A few months back I bought one of the Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble albums on ECM ("Drawn Inward" I think) only to find that the actual music on the disc was some Italian woman vocalist. Both copies in the store were like that. Did anybody else have this problem and has it been corrected?

Matthew Shipp -- definitely. His "Pastoral Composure," "New Orbit," and "The
Flow of X" discs have been in HEAVY rotation around my house. And the beauty
is that both my jazzsnob friends and my jazzphilistine friends find them
brilliant.
I would like to noiminate Uri Caine's "Toys" disc as well.
