Other Afternoons is an album by American jazz saxophonist Jimmy Lyons, recorded in 1969 and released in 1970 on the BYG label as part of their Actuel series.

In his AllMusic review, Eugene Chadbourne awarded the album 4.5 stars, stating "this album stands out as containing much superior playing, springing from what seems to be a fully realized conception of just where the music was going". He wrote: "The combination of Lyons with Lester Bowie is simply marvelous. The alto saxophonist's speciality is a kind of pungent yet unsentimental tone, kind of a thinking man's Charlie Parker, while trumpeter Bowie seems to pack every note, whether it is blasted or delicately blown, with deep pockets of potential comedy or melancholy..." - Wikipedia

In 68-71, half of the NY free #jazz world was in Paris, where they had chances to record on French labels like BYG and America that were never afforded at home. Clifford Thornton's Ketchaoua (1969) was one of the best of that short packed period. #BYG has a bad rep, and many of these sessions were just late energy music jams. Ketchaoua benefits from Thornton's writing - he was one of the most impressive composers of the early #freejazz period. #jazznoisehere #vinyl #jazzvinyl @jazz

Why do I feel like I know exactly where Laura Neal would've stood with the Spanish Inquisition... She knows which side her bread is buttered on. #KillingEve #BYG

#KillingEve demise and the #BYG trope invoked to kill Villanelle will forever be on my mind. #FLN for what she did to KE's most loyal fanbase.

@jen @akaBeth10 I think that may be the case right now, but media is so important, I can't give up on it. IMO, we have to keep fighting the fight and refuse to put up with the trope and bad representation. I really think that with perseverance and changing social conditions, we'll get there. But it won't happen if we don't stay vigilant. #KillingEve #BYG
