I like this discussion, I laughed several times.

''Rather than spreading this all over random threads'', that's what I was getting at - should have been clearer.

Fair call, was just throwin it out there.

*when not on mobile

Was going to say, will reply to your PM when on mobile (as it won't let me).

DaveDoom, not at all - just his username was enough to warn me off. You seem cut of the same cloth. I choose to interact with many people I don't know on the internet, some people know me, some don't - that's fine. I heard your duo record because it was on vacant valley and the guy who runs it is a gent, I've known of Adam's name for around ten years but didn't know he played free (was more familiar w toy orchestra, which didn't appeal). Anyway, certainly not looking for fights but I do open the thoughts up on occasion.

Ha. Sounded interesting when I got the email, too.

If I met you at a show and said the same thing over a beer, you'd listen? The opinion is the same.

Apologies for the tangent, thread, back to the topic: Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz record is still the landmark record for when I tipped from curious via Coltrane's Love Supreme and Stooges' LA Blues to becoming obsessed with jazz, primarily of the free persuasion.

Glad you take criticism well. Some of the music's good, jusr saying, lay off the spam.

Brian, I don't see the OP asking specifically for Melbourne jazz. The shameless self promotion (in all your m+n activity) is really off-putting. I like the collab w you n simmons but to me, you tarnish your own goods w a lack of class. Maybe thats the rub. I'll check out the wanders thing so you could say its working, but I generally steer clear through your online presence alone. Bit of honest feedback for you.
