- In the 70s, the recorded Black Bird, by Donald Byrd, the hard bop
- trumpet player. Very commercial and watered down funk. Lamer than
- disco.

-
- I thought I saw one at the Jazz Record Mart but this would have been at
- least 4 years ago.

-
- You can't argue with Bluenote. There were other jazz labels that had
- good rosters back then. There are still lots of small labels with a
- limited amount of specialized recordings available. Bluenote is good
- for the straight ahead, but for the avant garde there used to be Arista
- (surpise!) but there still is Hat Art, Silkheart, FMP, and Incus. And
- others too.

- That always is variable, since I only have a few of the FMP, maybe that
- would be a good one for getting a lot of new stuff.

-
- What, no Plugged Nickel? forget it.
