I wouldn't say on my radar. I have the "Far Out Folk" album, but I've not put together the puzzle quite like those guys at Space Age Pop have. The funny thing is, I have the Harpo album, I have both of those Corman films and the "Word Jazz" albums by Ken Nordine. But like a lot of jazz, it takes a while before one name that crosses a bunch of combos and projects gets into your blood. Thanks for bringing Mr. Katz to my attention. I'd like to hear that Portier/Katz album, plus anything by Dolphy/Hamilton. The only thing I have by that version of the Chico Hamilton group is the 1958 World Pacific tribute that they did to Duke Ellington. Eric Dolphy's most famous recordings came from his years in New York and Europe, but he WAS an Angeleno, as were Odetta, John Cage and LaMonte Young.
