And this is one I always thought of as "Pharoah Dances". So glad I got to see him live. Saw him a few years before with McCoy Tyner but it was great to see him with his own group. Is it possible that "Promises", his last recording (the one with Floating Point) was his biggest "hit"?

Thanks. I've been traveling and not always online. (And by "elsewhere" I just meant not on Lp-- I no longer have a turntable.)

Sad. I just read her autobiography Tonight at Noon.

Photo I took at a rock festival in 2018. And this is one I always thought of as "Pharoah Dances". So glad I got to see him live. Saw him a few years before with McCoy Tyner but it was great to see him with his own group.

Does it include "Cheesecake"?

I still like his album with Basie-- especially Lost in the Stars.

Is the Dizzy session available elsewhere?

How come nobody's mentioned Gil Evans's arrangements for Tentet?

httpIs://storyvillerecords.bandcamp.com/album/timmes-treasures Am I the only one who didn't know about this record? (Of course I've now ordered it.)

Ditto. And a couple of the later cd reissues too. (I think I own 3 different versions-- and I'd go to the mat for all of them.

Hard to overemphasize the impact of Godard on filmmakers and audiences in the early '60s. For most people it was Breathless but the first one I saw was Bande a Part (when it was just released) and it rocked my world. I once drove from Toronto to Montreal to see a Godard film. Like Coltrane he wasn't afraid to move on even if he left his audiences (including me) behind.

Anything that adds to very limited amount of Clarence (Lee) Shaw we have on record is fine by me.

Oh right. I forgot.

All his choices are great and he doesn't even use anything from Saxophone Colossus.

According to the liner notes "at the artist/producer's request, the original multitrack recordings were remixed to digital tape...." Little Wing from the original album is on the Jimi Hendrix Evans album. Aftermath:the Fourth Movement... was on a strange cd that was half Evans and half Mingus. The Meaning of the Blues is 14 minutes longer on the cd! Joy Spring, So Long and Buzzard Variation are not on the original. The only thing you can't find on any cd I know of are the "short portions" of Comes a Time that were deleted. Is this a cd?

I'm a huge Chandler fan. I think I've read everything by and about him except his laundry lists but I'm a heretic amongst other Chanderphiles because I believe he began to deteriorate half way through The Long Goodbye. (Playback is hardly worth mentioning.) And I think the ending of the Altman/Leigh Brackett movie is better than the ending of the book even if the ending of the film is partially stolen from The Third Man. (Go ahead-- throw things at me. )

Where are you!?

I saw him in Amsterdam in 1975 with (I guess) his band of the time. I've always appreciated that he was involved in producing a Gil Evans concert video in 1983 as well as playing drums on it.

Not much interest in football there. (We only played rugby in high school.). Big decision was whether to root for Habs or Toronto.

Fredericton, NB. Went to McGill in 1961 and saw a lot of great live jazz.

Does it count if they were really your parents' and your older sisters'? If so, Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall Concert, Ambassador Satch, a 10" Goodman Trio, and a 10 inch Ellington. No one in my family was a jazz fan but these were popular records at the time. First jazz Lp I bought (after I'd bought Harry Belafonte, Elvis and Fats Domino) was Brubeck: Red Hot and Cool because I'd read about him in Time magazine and I loved the record's cover. There were very few jazz Lps in the only record store in my home town and I bought the next one i saw; Sonny Rollins and the MJQ at Music Inn. So I joined the Columbia record club in 1959 and the first Lps I got were KOB, JJ Johnson (forget title), Lionel Hampton (Silver Vibes), Mingus Ah Um and Ellington Indigos. Good year to join. For reasons I've never understood my oldest sister gave me The Hawk in Hi Fi for my birthday when I was 14. I still love it, but I have no idea why she got it for me. I'd never heard of Hawkins at the time and I'm sure she hadn't either.

In some ways it's too bad that CTI overshadows his earlier work as a producer: Genius + Jazz = Soul, Blues and the Abstract Truth, Out of the Cool, Africa Brass, Jazz Samba....

Benny Goodman Trio.

I suspect it's out of print but how about Port of Harlem Jazzmen?

Saw him last night. He gave a long solo to his sax player in the very first number; a baritone sax-- the way rock n roll is supposed to sound.
