However, according to research by Alun Morgan and Malcolm Walker with help from Don Maggin's biography, the recording date is much more likely to be Los Angeles, February 1954. James Accardi's online Wardell Gray discography gives "Concert, San Francisco Veterans' Memorial, San Francisco, CA, Monday, February 8, 1954". See prob. mid-late April, 1954 for the rest of The Jazz Factory (Sp)JFCD22880 [CD]. (1) This title also on American Jazz Classics (Sp)99070 [CD] titled "You Better Believe It! + Moment Of Truth". (*) These 2 titles also on Marshmallow (Jap)

if you're a Tristano/Marsh listener I would highly recommend it - one of my fav Braxton sets

cheers

many thanks Elmo particularly enjoyed Steve Swallow's recollections wonderful!! & thanks for sharing

my fav Shatner (happy birthday by the way) would have to be the Twilight Zone episode (1963) "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet"

can I also suggest 1. the recent "Newest Sound You Never Heard" Blake/Lee double - 66/67 European recordings 2. "All That Is Tied" (Tompkins Square) solo from 2005 3. live in Lithuania "Vilnius Noir" (NoBusiness LP) - duo with David Fabris (g), 2010 4. "Cocktails at Dusk - A Noir Tribute To Chris Connor" - 2012 studio (Brussels) solo recordings

ditto.....

AFAIK of the 11 sets in the series, 5 have been released/shipped (#1, 2, 6, 8 & 11) so far (including the first one which is not part of the subscription series of 10 sets). I'm in the same boat, waiting for the series to be completed before shipping

that's interesting - I only ordered from them approximately a month ago - the website above was accessible then - just tried & coundn't access the site - maybe it's only temporary I only ordered one disc (Stuff Smith) & it arrived super fast (Australia!!) - IIRC shipping was free (jewel case removed) - total cost £8.99. It's definitely not a CDr - looks similar to my older Hep CDs

just as an aside I watched the Paul Simon interview & performance on the Colbert Show last night - it was such a personal/unaffected rapport between the two of them, my partner commenting that it was like the two of them were in a room with no audience.
