There's a huge article in this month's Jazztimes.  Postponing it really makes them look stupid.

Bertrand.

Big article in DownBeat too.

and Jason Bivins' excellent overview in Signal To Noise :tup:tup

I'll look for that... Jason used to live here in B-town. Check out his group, The Unstable Ensemble, if you're into improv.

Frustrating news on the Cellar Door Sessions 1970 boxed set: its release date, originally earmarked for September 27, has been put on hold. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the problem involves the Miles Davis Estate, in a story not dissimilar to that of The Last Word. No new release date is set, so fingers crossed that any difficulties and differences are sorted out soon. Watch this space for a new release date, or, if the set doesn't come out, the behind-the-scenes story of why not. Meanwhile, my article on the Cellar Door has been published in JazzTimes magazine in the US. Italian, French, German, and Dutch versions are to follow soon. (More details on the set below.)

October 25 is mentionned on some CD store websites.

Amazon.com even says "Usually ships within 1 to 2 weeks"

But I rather trust CD Universe's "Release Date Not Determined"

I neglected to follow up on this info.

That's OK, your crack* Organissimo news team is on the case. Looks like the end of October for the CD release. Hopefully.

You and your local CD guy should hang out here. It's like CNN for jazz. :g

*interpret the use of this word however you like :crazy:

Or C-SPAN 3 ... :P

It has already been available online (through P2P programs) for weeks.

Since December 2003 if I remember well. That stuff sounded like the final product. In this thread, it is meontioned that "reference copies" already circulated in 2001:

It will take 5-6 weeks to affix a sticker to the 20,000 copies boxes printed that covers up the original 'Produced by Bob Belden and Adam Holzman' with 'Produced by Miles Davis Compilation Produced by Bob Belden and Adam Holzman' ...as per demand of Miles Davis Estate.
