Don Cherry - Brown Rice 1975 Studio recordings @320 Out of Print
Available at the 'Zon for $56+
After the seismic 23 months (1959-1961) in which the Ornette Coleman Quartet flipped the jazz world on its ear, Coleman, drummer Ed Blackwell, bassist Charlie Haden, and trumpeter Don Cherry scattered to the winds. In the decades that followed, Coleman jammed with everyone from the London Symphony Orchestra to his ten-year old son Denardo to the Master Musicians of Joujouka. Ed Blackwell drummed for Eric Dolphy and Yoko Ono while Haden wed Spanish Civil War folk songs to jazz. And Don Cherry set about traversing the globe in search of what he deemed “organic music.”
Today, you can find the word “organic” in any Kroger or corner bodega, but in the early ‘70s it was as alien as yoga, world music, and a macrobiotic diet, all concepts that would inform Cherry’s approach to music for the rest of his life....More @ Pitchfork

The purpose of this post is more for historical content than firing up a bowl. Unfortunately a couple of these songs "IORAR" and "TAF" drop the volume in places. But don't let that deter from your listening pleasure. There's a lot of talking between the songs so hence the timing list also includes those. I'm working on getting another show from this very session featuring the infamous Watts/Wood farting contest. See scans
I hope by this time you know if I post an audience show that the quality has got to meet my expectations. Outside of the hollow hall sound (not really too bad here) and the occasional buffoon who always has to yell wooh, this meets my criteria of would I burn this to CD? See scans. No Password

I remember when "Dark Side Of The Moon" came out. I also remember how many of my friends gushed over it. To me, it was alright, but I never thought it deserved all the accolades it got. I thought it was just a metaphor for all the cool kids to let you know that "Yeah I smoke weed" but will keep it on the down-low and listen to DSOTM. I still think "The Wall" is overrated when you consider it's a double album with about six actual "songs" I do love "Wish You Were Here" though. I like the "song side" of "Meddle" but never listen to "Echoes" (not enough time) Which brings me to "Atom Heart Mother" it is still my favorite PF record. My favorite cut on AHM has to be "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" from the first time I heard it I loved it. I can smell the bacon frying, the sound of the corn flakes being poured into the bowl, and of course the faucet drip, and from what I understand original pressing's of the vinyl have the faucet drip go on into infinity if you did not have an automatic turntable. I'll bet right now somewhere there is some acid casualty, sitting with his headphones on, who is now a pile of bones, still wondering what is leaking??? That brings me to this boot. It is not of the sound quality that I normally try to post. But in a way it's kind of a historical document. When you read the scans you'll see it is the only time they performed it live and captured on tape. (Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast) One other thing I don't see this posted a lot. I know over at "The Wagon" my last post was yet another PF boot, but hey it's always been about you and what I think you're looking for. However on numerous occasions I post what I like in hope that you'll listen to it and hear what I hear and like in it. SEE SCANS
Billy Cox´s Nitro Function - self titled -1972 Studio recordings @256 Out Of Print
Produced by International Artists supremo Lelan Rogers in 1972, and sporting an early Roger Dean cover, this is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, from his old army pal & Band Of Gypsies bassist. Featuring lashing's of great Hendrixy guitar from Char Vinnedge, with bass & drums backing ala The Experience.This is mindblowing stuff!
Reissue of one and only album by Nitro Function, a post Hendrix project by Billy Cox (the gypsy) who used to play in Hendrix's Band Of Gypsy's. Musically obviousely very very Hendrix influenced especially the guitar parts.
Noel Redding was the better known of the 2 bassists that appeared alongside Jimi Hendrix during his brief recording career of 1967-1970 (due to the fact that he played on Hendrix's most acclaimed recordings), but Billy Cox had known and played alongside Hendrix longer. Cox originally met Hendrix back in 1961, when both were serving in the U.S. Army, and stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Cox was taken by guitar playing he heard coming from inside a 'Service Club' on the military base one day, which turned out to be Hendrix, and soonafter led to the pair holding jam sessions.
Both left the military at around the same time, which led to the duo forming the R&B outfit the King Kasuals, and subsequent steady gigs on the 'Chitlin' Circuit' (the black club scene in the south). Hendrix had decided by the mid '60s to try his luck elsewhere, and relocated to New York City, where he was discovered by ex-Animals bassist Chas Chandler. When plans were made for Hendrix to put a band together in England, he phoned Cox with an invite to go along with him, which Cox politely declined - opting instead to back R&B acts passing through the area. Hendrix went on to become one of the late '60s most successful rock artists, but by 1969, had grown weary of his musical direction (and the public's desire to constantly focus on his showmanship rather than his playing).
This resulted in Hendrix breaking up his band, the Experience, and setting out to form an multi-member ensemble. Hendrix's first choice for the newly vacated bass position went to his old friend Cox, and this time around, Cox accepted the invitation. The new group (Gypsys, Suns, and Rainbows), congregated in upstate New York, and consisted of rhythm guitarist Larry Lee, ex-Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell, plus percussionists Juma Sultan and Jerry Velez, in addition to Hendrix and Cox. Despite a memorable, set-closing performance at the Woodstock Festival in August of 1969, the new group failed to remain together long enough to record an album.
Hendrix decided that his next outfit would be more streamlined (both musically and set-up wise), as he returned to the trio format - retaining Cox as his bassist, and welcoming onboard drummer Buddy Miles. Although the new group (the funk-based Band of Gypsys) wouldn't remain together long either, they did manage to record a self-titled live album on New Year's Eve 1969 at New York's Fillmore East. With Miles' exit from the group, Hendrix phoned up old pal Mitchell once more, as the trio of Hendrix, Cox, and Mitchell began recording tracks for Hendrix's oft-delayed fourth studio album overall, at the guitarist's recording studio (which was still being constructed at the time), Electric Lady. The summer saw the trio play a steady stream of festival and arena dates in both the U.S. and in Europe, with plans to finish off the aforementioned album (with a working title of First Rays of the New Rising Sun) by the end of 1970.
But on September 18, 1970, Hendrix died tragically in England, a couple of months shy of his 28th birthday. In the wake of Hendrix's death, Cox played with others, including the Charlie Daniels Band, as well as session work and live dates. Cox continues to play to this day, including a Hendrix-tribute outfit called the Gypsy Sun Experience, which also includes former bandmate Mitchell on drums and Gary Serkin on guitar (Cox was also the recipient of his own model bass, when the Cort guitar company issued a Billy Cox "Freedom" model bass in the late '90s). In addition to the Band of Gypsys release, Cox's bass playing can be heard on such posthumously release Hendrix albums as South Saturn Delta, Live at Woodstock, Live at the Fillmore East, and a reconstructed version of First Rays of the New Rising Sun, in addition to such homevideos as Live at the Isle of Wight 1970, Live at Woodstock, The Dick Cavett Show, Rainbow Bridge, and Jimi Hendrix, among others. ~CGR
