[A few Mosaic box sets for sale: Bing Crosby, Django Reinhardt, Ike Quebec, Art Pepper]

Sadly I was away on vacation and not here - but would be interested in Django if still avail…

[Jay Clayton (1941-2023)]

Saw her hers in MPLS about 5 years ago and missed her by one day in NYC with Sheila cause I put it on the wrong day in my calendar (back when you had to keep one). 

[Some previously unreleased Lennie Tristano *IS* in the works!! (Now, from StaMford)]

thanks Russ, have downloaded the WAV file successfully - do we have any details re date, location & musicians. Would be nice to hear more

I found a nice stash of acetates - some air shots others seem like home recordings - in the strangest way. They were listed on Wolfgangs as home recordings. I had been talking to a guy who collects home recordings - so I looked at them to see what the labels said. Lloyd Lifton with Lee Konitz, Lee Konitz, and Lennie Tristano. So I bought everything that had similar handwriting. Probably came from the Jazz Record Mart when the entire inventory went to Wolfgangs. Lee sings on a couple - something you don’t hear elsewhere. I think most likely from the mid 40’s in Chicago. 

[Some previously unreleased Lennie Tristano *IS* in the works!! (Now, from StaMford)]

Have posted before - but seems worth it to post here: Tristano with accordion - request access when you link - there are several good sides (trio and solo too) happy to share. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EHUB_Lk_dF1-ciCbkAhjxk_McV_0Mn6_/view?usp=drivesdk from acetate - not pristine.

This was on the same e-bay page!!

I have and love this record

[Scott, Bradford, Grossman, Moondoc]

Will happily pay the tariff for Revolt of the Negro Lawn Jockeys

 

[Wadada Leo Smith, Milford Graves, Bill Laswell - Sacred Ceremonies]

Arrived from Amazon today - not yet played.

[Blow, Brother Konitz, BLOW!]

A link to what I think is a home recording before joining Thornhill...one of several acetates at home. Probably need to request access.  Lloyd Lifton sextet with Lee.

[Mosaic Sets but Especially Tina Brooks]

I too bought the Monk set on release and kept up through 34 or 36 sets then stopped buying everything...only some regrettably.

[Stereo: 2 or 4 speakers?]

There are those who swear by two sets of Advents - one on top of the other. I have never heard this so can’t say. 

[Fresh Sound - Best Voices Time Forgot]

I like the Marcy Lutes record (Gil Evans arranges about 1/3) - I have and enjoy the Pat Scott record but it’s more commercial - Jane Harvey, Anne Richards and Honi Gordon I have and endorse. 

[Creative Black Music at the Walker]

I saw a few of these shows - but missed too many back when I was a student w/o funds (or enough knowledge). 

[BFT195 Link & Discussion]

Track three is Boundaries by Elton Dean for sure. As I recall Dennis referenced as inspiration for his excellent Catechism.

Sold much of my vinyl about a quarter century ago to finance this;

I think I have box #11 ordered as soon as I heard about it. 

[SOLD Euro Jazz Boxes Three-Fer]

Arrived - excellent packaging - the bubble wrap saved the day as the mailman decided to leave it on one of the planters (in a downpour) instead of the covered entrance... no damage!   

[SOLD Euro Jazz Boxes Three-Fer]

If not sold i’ll go for it. Love Brueker and have no idea what the others are...

[Anthony Cox]

Saw him with his band Acoustic Death Wish - Cox, Dave King, & Brandon Wozniak in June at the now defunct (closed last day of June) Artists Quarter in St. Paul.  Great playing - mostly Cox originals and an Ornette tune.

Wow Thanks.  This isn't even in The New DESOR.  IS it ok to share this with the Duke Ellington List-Serve? 

Sure - figure it should be out in the world.

This is a nice find. Timner's Ellingtonia (5th ed.) shows nothing between June 8 and July 6, 1946. 

Here is the personnel of Ellington's July 9, 1946 record date for reference:

Taft Jordan, Shelton Hemphill, Cat Anderson, Francis Williams, Shorty Baker (tp),
Ray Nance (tp, vln, vcl) Joe Nanton, Lawrence Brown, Claude Jones, Wilbur DeParis (tb), Jimmy Hamilton (cl, ts) Johnny Hodges (as) Russell Procope (as, cl) Al Sears (ts), Harry Carney (bar, b-cl, cl) Duke Ellington (p), Fred Guy (g), Oscar Pettiford (b), Sonny Greer (d), Kay Davis, Al Hibbler (vcl)

The contents of the uploaded music files, each of which is about 15 1/2 minutes, appear to be the following :

1. Take The “A” Train/Announcement/Take The “A” Train/Transblucency (kd vcl)/
    C Jam Blues/I’m Just A Lucky So-and-So (ah vcl)/Announcement/
    Riff Staccato (cut off)

2. Riff Staccato (cut in)/Come Rain Or Come Shine (kd vcl)/Blue Skies/
    Things Ain’t What They Used To Be/Outro/Intro Of Interview/
    Start Of Interview    

Thanks very much. Any other acetates lying around?

 

A few other interesting things i’ve lucked into while out digging for stuff. I have a full set of the second Esquire concert I need to get transcribed cause they look as clean as the Duke discs - hopefully sound good too.

 

[The new "Pay-It-Forward" Music Giveaway Thread!!&#33]

Free to download - Ellington in Duluth 1946 - from broadcast acetates I found last summer.  Third is an interview with Duke and Strayhorn. Interesting snapshot of an average workday.

[What vinyl are you spinning right now??]

1 hour ago, mjazzg said:

Yeah, me too. Can't imagine it was official and I don't know the label, 'Seeds'.  Just 300 made of it according to Discogs

My copy has the artwork taped to a jacket (loose - no glue) with the seeds record inside.  Very odd. 

[What 78 are you spinning right now ?]

I have the Savoy Be Bop 78 album but it is missing 945...

[Grace Kelly]

All this dance talk reminds me I have an acetate of Steve Condos with Chu Berry - trend chasers I guess....

[Great Finds]

Yep there is plenty of piano.  https://twitter.com/russjazz/status/999828976821592069?s=21  if you want to hear a twitter size snip.

Hey Russ, just followed you. I am asking around. I know some people int the music biz up there.

Cool, thanks! If it works we'll get copies to you and Jeff Crompton.  It's odd how difficult it is to find a home for something like this.  I first thought to give then to the Jazz Museum but no response at all. But probably better to be with Tristano - she has the mission to keep it alive.

Agreed. Again, depending on where you live, I or someone else on the board can probably connect you with someone to help in case you need it.

 If there is someone who could transfer them in the Minneapolis area I'd be happy to meet up.  The discs are recorded right to the label and my player for 78's (Dual 1229) does not have that much arc and even if it did - I have no digital recording equipment or even a tape deck for that matter - but 9 turntables.  There are a few samples on twitter where I recorded video, very dull to watch a speaker but worth it .  My twitter is @russjazz if anyone cares to hear.
