LF: Ornette Coleman concert

[mikeb]

Greetings --

I'm looking for Ornette's "Lenox School of Jazz Concert", which may or may not be available on a legitimate CD. Basically trying to find this for a friend, who offers this description:

"WKCR does an annual Ornette full day birthday broadcast and they play it every year, but I've missed burning a CDR of this concert every time. It's really great music with a great band, consisting of students and a bunch of mainstream musicians of the early 60s who were on faculty there."

If anyone has this, please PM me ...

Thanks!

I haven't even seen a boot of that...

This is one instance where I wish the Andorrans would act.

Is the entire concert circulating somewhere?

And thanks, jazzshrink, for posting the concert program. That CD that circulated was pretty scant on personnel details.

The Royal Jazz catalog has gone OOP a long time ago!

It was launched by French jazz afficionados.

The Lenox School CD was one of their most interesting releases.

Very hard to find nowadays!

I do have the Royal Jazz CD. I forgot what the protocol is here. Can we offer a CD-R copy if the CD is OOP?

[robviti]

not openly. it's probably best to delete your post and offer "something" via pm or email.
