[NewMusic] calender from Blind Lemon Bar in Berkely circa 197 8

[Henry Kuntz]

I didn't take it as a slight, Jon. I mainly wanted to fill in others who may
not have been around at the time as to the nature of the publication. Like
you, I was excited to be hearing and coming to grips with so much wonderful
music. Writing about it proved to be as much a learning process for me as it
was for anyone who may have gotten something from the finished product.

It will be interesting to read the reveiws again and I meant no slight of
Bells and appreciated the publication at the time. I was young and it was an
exciting time for improvised music.  Almost as much fun as now.

Sorry, last post sent prematurely:
I'll finish
BELLS Free Jazz Free Music Part Two has reviews coming (nearer the end of
Part Two) of ROVA, Greg Goodman, Henry Kaiser, John Gruntfest. BELLS at the
time was more of a national and internationally directed publication. You
also have to recall that then, many of the musicians reviewed in BELLS who
are now more or less well-known (like Bailey, Parker, Brotzmann, and even
many of the American jazz musicians) were not really known by most people.
So the mission was to make these players known, people who I considered to
be on the cutting edge of music. I was lucky to have a number of excellent
contributors from other corners of the globe who could supply first hand
accounts.

I have a lot of the original  flyer's in box somewhere and I think Richard
Dworkin has a complete set since he did most of them.  No one involved with
the blue dolphin has done any on line work with the place.  The o-art site
has some nice stuff from Pangaea crew and other new music activity.  
 
Henry's site for Bells doesn't seem to have much local scene stuff on it
either.  It does list the Mapenzi shows
http://www.m-etropolis.com/bells/bells-slleb/the-mapenzi-solo-series/ which
were incredibly influential on me as an improviser.

Wow...I remember a few of those...and I had forgotten how my band changed
from Jive Soup (July 1) to the Avant Gardeners (October 21st).  Now can you
find one for the Blue Dolphin?
