I saw this posted on another bulletin board......

--------------------------------

Hey All, I have been searching for Lennie Tristano's "Descent into the Maelstrom" on CD for years, and after much digging around, found that Jazz Records is re-releasing his catalog, so I wrote to them. Here is the reply I received today:

"Andy,

Jazz Records will be issuing 'Descent into the Maelstrom' as a CD. Hopefully, this will be done within the next year.

I would suggest that you check out website from time to time.

Thank you for your interest.

Best Regards,

Lenny Popkin

Jazz Records, Inc."

"next year" = 2006. :party:

The live Tristano stuff that made up half an album on Atlantic - has the rest of those sessions ever been released anywhere except on the Mosaic box? Is it in print anywhere today?

I was referring to the quote above in my previous post.

Like Nate, I have Maelstrom on an Inner City LP. I always assumed the lousy sound was because of the sources of the original recordings: private tapes, radio broadcasts, etc.

Never heard the Inner City but don't think it would sound much different than the EastWind original, which I do have.
