Has anyone found this available as a download?
Went to their website, think it will be tomorrow.

Me too. (Gonna be hard to pick the track).

That was the first Mosaic box I ever bought. IIRC it was one of their first cd boxes.

The kid was born in 1944. In a later interview in the 90's he describes himself as the poster child for Ritalin.
I used to see the Collins Kids on tv a lot in the '50s.

Just my two cents, of course.
Ditto. However if they waited for Gil to do 4 more arrangements we might still be waiting.

I'm not surprised, as Herbie Mann was one of the first to really get the Brazilian feel, much better than Getz or most others. A compilation with all of Mann's versions of Brazilian tunes would be great. "One Note Samba was originally issued twice, one a Mann LP and on an album with half Joao Gilberto's first bosssa nova tunes, licensed from Odeon in Brazil.
An earlier version was on a United Artists LP:
Never heard the Shank LP, btw.
The article is referring to the Mommas and Poppas version on which he takes the flute solo. And it might be claimed that Shank had the first Bossa Nova Lp with Brazilliance which he did with Laurendo Almeida in 1953. (Excuse the probably spelling mistakes.)

Maybe everybody but me already knew this, but.. Yesterday in response to Andre 2000's new flute album, the LA Times listed what their reviewer called the best "flute-y classics". Number three was California Dreaming of which he wrote "It gets a lot of its witchy allure from Bud Shanks alto flute solo which he reportedly improvised in one take. "
And BTW In the number 1 spot, beating out The Beatles, The Beastie Boys and even Lizzo, was Herbie Mann's "One Note Samba".

Upon reflection, this is a very cold anecdote and doesn't reflect well on Steely Dan. They're fabulously wealthy, yet can't empathize with Tariq and Gunz's bad fortune. At some point, SD should have nullified the contract and kicked back some money to T & G. Especially considering that, unless SD wrote every note that Sample played, Sample probably had some compositional input too.
People who make a lot of money almost never think they have enough.

I heard that about 60 years ago but not sure it was more than a rumour. Sounds like Waller, but McHugh and Fields were no slouches either.

Have the other numbers with Ellington in the film ever been release on cd? (Hesitation Blues, Troubled Waters etc.)

After you've played through a chosen album on Spotify it will continue playing random songs in the genre of the album. It's often led me to interesting music I've never heard before . Yesterday at the gym I was listening to Mile's Davis' '57 Amsterdam concert (sounded like a needle drop) after which I got cuts from Ellington's Blues in Orbit, Charle's Lloyd's Of Course, Of Course, Horace Silver's Sabu, Gil Melle's New Faces, Bird's Nows the Time, Bobby Hutcherson's Candy, The Duke Plays Ellington, Sonny with the MJQ (Prestige), The Peaceful Side of Billy Strayhorn, Gil Melle again, but then Eric Dolphy's The Illinois Concert with Something Sweet, Something Tender seemingly segueing into Trane's You Don't Know What Love Is.
The latter two played so perfectly together that I began to wonder if some hip jazz dj had done the programming. I've always presumed that it was done by an algorithm or AI but now I wonder. (BTW If you play the same album at another time it will be followed by the same songs.)Anyone know how this is done?

Saw him with Beaver Harris, Dave Burrell, Cameron Brown, and Charles Majid Greenlea at the Empty Foxhole Cafe in mid-70's. Unforgettable, especially "African Drum Suite". Harris was a monster live.
I saw him with Beaver Harris shortly after the release of Momma Too Tight and remember thinking that this drummer could make a 50 piece brass band swing.

Just because no one's mentioned it.

The (mostly John Hammond-produced) 50s mainstream sessions on Vanguard? There were at least two major reissue series that I personally found comparatively sensibly programmed and packaged.
Example:
https://www.discogs.com/release/7100734-Vic-Dickenson-Vic-Dickenson-Septet
This was a UK reissue but came with various covers and countries of origin (see listing under the above link) and was re-reissued not long after in the UK in the Vogue Jazz Double series distributed by Pye :
https://www.discogs.com/release/4045920-Vic-Dickenson-The-Essential-Vic-DickensonThis BTW was one of the blatant cases of totally different covers and artwork where a buyer too far from home to check (like me
) can be lured into thinking he doesn't own it yet. So after two trips to London in the 90s I ended up with copies of both of the above (took me a while to pass on the Vogue/Pye reissue).
There were plenty of other mid-50s Vanguard releases reissued in the RCA-distributed series. But as they originated in the UK they may not have made it into too many US shops at the time.
IIRC in North America Vanguard was bought by the Lawrence Welk Music Group (!) who did a good job with the Spirtuals to Swing concerts but often put out cds that combined 2 Lps by leaving out some cuts.

Sorry to be so long in answering this (I've been away for a few days). I wasn't so much thinking of the Concord label itself as much as all the labels and their material that Concord owns: Prestige, Fantasy, Riverside, Limelight, Good Time, Contemporary, Milestone, Vanguard. The list goes on and on. We've often talked here about how nice it would be if Mosiac were able to mine that material.
I was thinking of Riverside, Contemporary and Prestige but I didn't know they owned Vanguard. There is a lot of material there never released in what I would call sensible packaging and organizing.

I caught that too! It would indeed be wonderful if Mosaic could dig into THAT treasure!!
Can you give some examples? (I may be jaded because of my age-- I bought a lot of Concord material when cds were a new medium and didn't know there was still some unreleased material.)

I really like this one as a collection of early material in excellent sound.
https://www.discogs.com/release/8244446-Lee-Wiley-The-Complete-Young-Lee-Wiley-1931-1937
And this is a great collection:
https://www.discogs.com/release/12313526-Lee-Wiley-Live-On-Stage-Town-Hall-New-York
From her early period you can 't go wrong with any of the "Lee Wiley Sings...." Cole Porter, Roger & Hart etc with various Condenites. IIRC they were originally true "albums": collections of 78s in an album. From her later period I like "West of the Moon" which Mosaic re-released as a Mosaic Single. I see it's now available on a cd along with the "A Touch of the Blues" though I presume the sound won't be as good as on the release that Jazzbo recommended.

He probably took these home as reference recordings and/or editing. https://archives.nypl.org/mus/22589?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#detailed
IIRC he also took home the out-takes from the Smith-Jones session that were Lester Young's first recordings (which he didn't produce) and thus probably saved them for posterity.

The Quietus article posted earlier in this thread by TD ( which I found fascinating, thanks TD) goes into the Sun Ra/ Carla Bley conflict in some detail. Here it is again:

Found this really interesting. I knew Michael Snow was on Elevator in the "Hotel Lobby Orchestra" or whatever it's called but didn't know he was that involved with her.

I'm going to be in New York (Brooklyn actually) all of next week. Anyone got any recommendations for music (or anything else)?

Went to an exhibit entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure" in LA last week. Though I could find no reference to the singer King Pleasure in the show or its catalogue there were several painting about jazz musicians who were Basquiat's heroes, and one whole room devoted to only paintings referencing musicians. I took photos of some of them.

The Band: Atlantic City
Great version of the song.

I'm really enjoying this record. It's interesting how some of Miles's improvisations are reminiscent of what he recorded a few days later for Elevator to the Scaffold. (Especially some of what he plays on "What's New?".)
-
WOW! How'd you do that? (Never mind no reason to bore everyone else.)
