Those long jams like Spare Chaynge, Bear Melt and Thing are the Airplane at their best. Spencer Dryden is great too.

Whatever happened to Feldman's gig with Blue Note? What came out of that: 1) Lee Morgan Lighthouse 2) Blakey Just Coolin' 3) Blakey in Tokyo Anything else? I could use some more Lee Morgan since that seemed to be his focus per the above list. It would be great if he could rescue the Grant Green/John Patton and the Duke Pearson Big Band Left Bank tapes from wherever Sunnenblick at Uptown was hiding them, but I have pretty much given up.

Another big Airplane fan here, especially Jack Casady.

A private collector had out-takes from We Insist in 2007. Where are they now, 17 years later?

WPFW in DC has been giving heavy airplay to his majesty the detective's new 'product'. It is too much. The Lateef is tempting...

I believe Ben Young is working on a book also.

Me three.

I agree. Those should not be on the list.

Too early for Earl Anderza to be one of the uncredited reeds, I assume?

That is exactly the problem. CDrs often fail after a short amount of time. I know Ben but I did not want to ask him directly. My hunch was right that it is a touchy subject with artists... Bertrand. PS: Afterbeat was written for Archie Shepp during the time they hung together with Roswell Rudd. I bet he would get a kick out of hearing it. Can we make this happen?

Has anyone purchased the Allison/Cardenas/Nash CD Tell The Birds I Said Hello? Is it a real CD or a CD-R? I want to decide whether to get the CD or a download. Moments Inside was a CD-R. Thanks, Bertrand.

Fay Victor releases her Herbie Nichols SUNG project today! Bertrand.

Their latest record consists of Herbie pieces he never got to record. 6 of them were in a stash the Nichols family recently uncovered. I believe it is the music that was purported to have been lost after a pipe burst per the Mosaic set. You can get the sheet music at jazzleadsheets.com Bertrand.

Who is with Joe?

Is there an action plan for the future or is it another Left Bank kinda deal?

Saw him Sunday but I stopped asking him about what he recorded since he gets cagey about it.

I hesitated to post the outcome. The project was discontinued at the request of the family. Not sure what is going on but this is a lost opportunity to champion this underappreciated artist. All the money was refunded.

Matt Wilson posted on Facebook that Lewis and Charlie Haden were close friends.

No, it is his brother George who passed.

Todd Barkan recorded a lot of Keystone shows and some have been released. It is a situation similar to Left Bank, no list as far as I know and perhaps no succession plan for tape ownership.

I started looking into the Jack session a few months ago. It may have been a Jazz Alive recording, which means there may be more. It is not clear when they stopped recording, but all the tapes they have been pitching to the Feldmans, Dorns and Sunnenblicks of the world are 60s and 70s. I would like to hear Old And New Dreams, Dewey Redman etc. It all goes back to getting a master list of what was recorded and what is still held. I am convinced there is more than one source.

A good chance this was recorded, as were most Keystone gigs.

The Zurich set was on TCB, paired with a Horace Silver date. Is that grey market?

I'll ask around LOL.

Where can I find this shower cubicle date? I missed it somehow.
