always thought there was a spot of sharrock in joe morris's playing. orcutt fans may also find something to love in his solo recordings like "No vertigo" & "singularity". "symbolic gesture" from '94 would be my pick of his trio/Qt stuff, but there's an embarrassment of riches to choose from

O hell yes Joe Morris--so prolific, but seems like this is a good gateway, considering his colleagues here in particular:

Geometry of Distance (Relative Pitch): Kyoko Kitamura, Joe Morris, Tomeka Reid, Taylor Ho Bynum

and
The Geometry of Caves (Relative Pitch) w/ Taylor Ho Bynum, Tomeka Reid, Kyoko Kitamura

David S. Ware - Théatre Garonne, 2008 (Aum Fidelity) David S. Ware, Joe Morris, Warren Smith, William Parker

Also, I'm so far not as sold on Halvorson (as soloist, rather than accompanist or album auteur) as are a lot of other ilxors, apparently, but Morris has a duo set w her, which I haven't heard: Traversing Orbits (not even the title appeals).

I've got a 60-minute Walkman-inside-fall-jacket-quality recording of portions of Sonny's Oct '91 Toronto gig (spoken of upthread) in a storage locker a half-mile north of where I sit; the cassette also documents a 3-minute between-sets chat I had with the man (asked about Albert Ayler ("a very sweet cat") and how long the "Ask The Ages" Canadian release was due, and requested an autograph, which appears on the back of the gig flier the tape is wrapped in.) I gotta get that digitized someday.

I'll pay you to do it! Message me if you're interested :)

Thanks for the offer!

I've actually already got one of those radio/turntable/cassette players that burns CD-Rs, but it's temporarily in the same aforementioned storage locker. I'll get around to these things some day...
