    • That’s too bad; I never saw him, but enjoyed his playing.    87 makes sense if he was working with Sam Rivers in the mid 60s.
    • Mike Alterman, a pianist that I worked with for five years in a band, spent eight months on the road with Chet Baker in the early 60s, and was so traumatized by the experience that he never said a word about it in all the time I knew him.  I'd meet Mike occasionally after the time we worked together in that band, and he'd talk about the time he spent in the Woody Herman Band (he can be heard on the WH album "East Meets West" playing a long solo on a blues), the time he was fired by our current prez for asking for a raise in his solo piano gig in Trump Towers (Trump heard him playing some show tunes and said to Mike, "I like that!", so he figured it was a good time to ask DT for a raise- wrong), but he went to the grave a few years ago without saying a word about his eight months with Chet on the road, at least to me. RIP, Mike.
    • Today's Mosaic e-mail stated that pre-orders will ship later in the week of July 27. It was supposed to ship this week but Mosaic said the delay was due to a printing error in the booklet and the booklet had to be reprinted.
    • It was Tjader who approached Saul Zaentz of Fantasy when he saw the bankruptcy of Skye coming. Together they worked out a new contract. I don't know about the US, but here in Germany Fantasy LPs were all over the place due to their distributors here - Bellaphon, and later ZYX.
