I just downloaded it from Amazon and it's definitely in stereo (sax is isolated far right).

"Pirates" was my favorite.

I once suggested that they make it available as downloads but (IIRC) Scott responded that they didn't own those rights.

I only met him once. A lovely man.

I think that was in the fall. I saw him that week too (though not the night they filmed). But the amazing night was in April of that year. I wrote a review of the autumn show which is on-line somewhere. When my arm is out of it's cast I'll answer your excellent question.

I used to have an Lp of the music from Allonsanfan who, unlike me, still had a turntable. According to IMDB he scored 529 films!

Was that band put together for Michael Snow's film or was the film named after the band?

Duke Ellington, Le Jazz Hot, Montreal 1964 and Gil Evans at a repurposed church Paris 1978.

I'm stuck at an airport and can't check my collection but IIRC the Byrds box set had a version of Sweetheart of the Rodeo where they re-replaced Gram Parsons' vocals which had been removed on earlier issues.

Co-incidentally I just saw his daughter Gina giving a "Moth" presentation-- mainly about her relationship with her mother, only mentioning her father obliquely and never by name. I suspect that many in the audience had no idea she was Harry's daughter. I loved Belafonte. I thought Ladysmith Black Mambosa sounded like a group pf Belafontes.

IIRC that was a good song. Did Schaffer co-write it?

Thanks everybody. I stupidly missed the Mosaic. Looks expensive on Discogs.

Because of the discussions here I started to listen to Henry Threadgill on Spotify. Where have I been all his life?! I'm about to get on a plane for Paris and want to down load some music for the flight. Which of the 12 recordings offered on Bandcamp do people recommend?

IIRC it's set when it was made (1978) which means it's now a period piece.

Does anyone remember that Europe was a character (played by Earnie Whitman) in the film Stormy Weather?

I was wary too, (it's set in England!) but it's quite interesting because follows the plot of the book much more closely than the Hawks/Bogart version.

I'll look for you. There. Will PM you.

I'm most incentivized to listen to new (to me) recordings by comments on this forum.

Thanks.

You mean if more than 15 minutes were recorded they went into overtime? Or did they only count what was considered a usable take?

Unless you only mean records with other leaders but with Condon I'd recommend almost any Pee Wee Russell record maybe starting with Portrait of Pee Wee.

Bigger audience. That's why it can sustain so many labels.

I second that emotion. It's Basie with Prez. And the rest of the set is awfully good too.

I bought the Mingus Candid set shortly after it cam out. When was that? Since I bought a cd set I was t least 40 at the time. I'm 80 now and I've bought most of the sets they've produced for the last 10 years.
