What metric are you using for that number? He goes A LOT deeper than that. Even if you’re just talking about projects he was mostly in control of or the originator of (not a knock of any sort. Just curious so I can guess what you may be listening to)

Donate to Please help Bill Laswell, organized by Orange Music Collective
The past two years have been difficult for everybody, but especially those whose live… Orange Music Collective needs your support for Please help Bill Laswell
You may not know Bill Laswell, but you've almost certainly heard his touch, from Material and No-Wave, to George Clinton and Bootsy, to Herbie Hancock and a zillion more.
Bill needs your help right now. Think about giving a hand.

I'm enjoying the Bill Laswell discography listen. Reading the write up on him on Spotify and now i want to do a discography listen of Adrien Sherwood.

Was that Zorn/Laswell show at Southstreet Seaport? First incarnation of Bladerunner? Killer show.

I’d love to be able to put something similar together with the MOD catalog, but not sure when Bill may be in a position to pull that off. And we’ve already got such a backlog of releases as it is….

Not to split hairs (lol), but It’s really almost all Bill. The Orb and Thaemlitz bits are from existing remixes they did of one Material track each. Tetsu contributes one whole mix at the end.

Not a box. Just an album similar to Panthalassa. It’s been in the can for quite a while pending Sony/Miles’ Estate deciding to release it. It’s fantastic.

A Tribute To Jali Foday Susso: Custodian Of The Kora, Voice Of Manding, Pride Of The Gambia – The Standard Newspaper | Gambia
By Hon Justice Ebrima Jaiteh
I'm surprised to have seen no Western mass-media obits for the sublime Gambian griot Foday Musa Suso, who took flight on May 25 at age 75. Were it not for an email blast from Bill Laswell, I don't think I'd know he was gone. Here's a Gambian source. standard.gm/a-tribute-to...

Tony Williams, Malachi Favors and Jonas Hellborg too….Bill pulled an absolutely insane cast together for this.

To be honest, when I discovered him in the mid-ish ‘90s I thought the same for months until I saw a Wire interview with him. If I recall when I first met Bill he replied to that “I used to get that a lot”

Dreams Of Freedom (Ambient Translations Of Bob Marley In Dub) - YouTube
#NowPlaying Bill Laswell "Dreams of Freedom: Ambient Translations of Bob Marley in Dub"
Title's a bit pretentious, but this is a favourite album of mine. Some are snotty that there's not enough of Marley's vocals on it, but they presumably don't understand what dub is.
