I didn’t know he spent 30 years living hard like that in LA.

OK, thanks for that info. Damn.
Both of these guys went into hiding for decades
and the stories of them being found are pretty remarkable.

It’s crazy that playing on Unit Structures alone wouldn’t set you up for life. Enter, Evening was even on that super popular Smithsonian jazz sampler. Plus, those Ayler records. It’s great he was rediscovered but damn he had to feel like wtf does a man have to do.

I was thinking too that Warren Smith was also part of that group that had Reid, Mitchell and Grimes.
...and Warren Smith played on Logan's comeback album with Dave Burrell,
so connections are there too in a wobbly manner I suppose.

Yeah, but a lot of that, on both of their parts, had a lot to do with mental illness and self-isolation before being re-discovered by someone who cared and "knew."

Bernard Stollman of ESP talking about Logan's debut album:

"At one point, I was standing with the engineer in the control room, and I thought the piece they were playing was stunningly beautiful. It sounded totally spontaneous, as if they were ad-libbing and commenting like a gorgeous conversation. Suddenly, I heard a 'thwuuunk,' and I realized that the tape had run out. The engineer and I were so absorbed, we hadn't been paying attention. I thought "oh God, this remarkable thing is lost. It was interrupted in the middle, and it's gone." Richard Alderson was the engineer, and he got on the intercom and said "Giuseppi, the tape ran out." Without a pause, Giuseppi said "take it back to before where it stopped and we'll take it from there." So he did, he wound it back and played some bars of it and took down the record button, and they resumed exactly what they were doing—there was no way of telling where one or the other ended. It was unreal."

I don’t understand. Did you want something other than the list on that page?
