Why Not? is an album by American saxophonist Marion Brown. It was recorded in October 1966 in New York City, and was released in 1968 on the ESP-Disk label...

Clifford Allen remarked on All About Jazz:

"The most immediately striking thing about Why Not? is its utter and complete dedication to both wistful, romantic lyricism and the edgy, insistent 'cry.' There are few recordings in this music which balance hunger and fullness so well."

"At the corner of the Rue Washington, near the Arc de Triomphe, there was a huge publicity poster depicting the red and blue Bonnet Phrygien, the headwear of participants in the French Revolution. The poster had a 'Revolutionnaire' sign and was a teaser for a publicity campaign for an undisclosed product. Berger thought it might be worth a try to have photos taken of Marion in front of the colorful poster.."

Three for Shepp is an album by American saxophonist Marion Brown featuring performances recorded in 1966 for the Impulse! label.

The authors of the Penguin Jazz Guide wrote: "Brown's Impulse! records are routinely overlooked... In the wake of this, his first successful record, Brown took to the road, playing tirelessly but curbing his studio activities. Impulse! had already released Shepp's Four For Trane. This was explicitly intended as a companion project and its arresting opening... establishes it as one of the most inventive in the label's distinguished catalogue... Brief as it is at just 35 minutes, Three For Shepp is so densely packed with musical information that it takes many, many listens to deconstruct: a living lesson in musical history, a passionate manifesto for the future." - Wikipedia

Coincide is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dewey Redman featuring performances recorded in 1974 for the Impulse! label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "Dewey Redman is featured in a few different settings on this intriguing and generally successful album... Although it is interesting to hear Redman on clarinet and zither, his tenor playing is clearly his strong point and the main reason to search for this LP". - Wikipedia
