Thank you Steve! That's what I'm talking about-- Tim's music is...infinite...he will do his music with anyone he chooses and it will always be Tim's music and will always have his integrity, his commitment, his seriousness.....with Jim though....a very special chemistry occurred..and I'm so glad that you and Tim recorded and released so much! Thanks for reading-- spread the word!

Great stuff as always. I worked closely with Tim Berne for a few years around the launch of Screwgun, and I caught Bloodcount as many times as I possibly could—what an incredible band, and what an integral role Jim played. That band would not have been the same with any other percussionist on the throne.

Wow, this is a great resource of discography as well as a thoughtful piece of writing about a fantastic musician and life's connections. Thanks for this, Vinnie. I enjoyed the experience of reading this and look forward to exploring Jim Black's music further. I've come across him live and in sound several times and have always been captivated by his originality and unbridled verve!
