Nothing here either.

anyone got 5.2 from Bleep yet? I guess the postal strike is causing problems now?

whoa... heavy player

a couple of favourites:
Anthony Braxton - In the Tradition vol. 1. Fantastic playing and arrangements... w/ echoes of the be-bop/ post- bop styles mixed with elements of 60s free jazz.
