Weird that ECM ignores the flyover states.

Hear, hear! I agree.

We can only guess what caused the delay. There were probably a lot of conflicting rights holders, and they all had to come to a meeting of the minds. There's Naima's family (who still owned the tapes), the Coltrane estate, Universal, and who knows who else.

This is fascinating. I guess we now have a sense of future Impulse releases. I, for one, can't wait for the complete Coltrane & Hartman sessions.

The reason she and Lion got divorced was because she wanted kids and he didn't.

Has anyone heard anything more definite about this release?

The Cool Struttin' legs belonged to Ruth Lion, not Lorraine. RIP. An amazing life. And thanks for all the music.

Sounds like it was originally a calypso.

They always have a Father’s Day sale.

A favorite; great playing all around (Burton, Weber, Metheny, Swallow, Gottlieb). Weber plays "lead" bass, while Swallow covers the bottom.

Late to the party, but I finally gave a listen to this. Great set, loved the 1973 material. But... I was very interested in the 1975 track, since I was at that show, and was surprised by the bad bootleg sound quality. I know there was a tape circulating on ROIO. Has anyone heard that - is the sound quality any better?

I'd love to have a poster of the cover photo of the Steve Tibbetts album. Great photo!
