this here looks like it might be part of the answer:

" This collection consists of nine audio tape reels. There are six 3 1/4-inch reels and three 7-inch reels. These include Alan Sukoenig's original recordings of live peformances by John Coltrane, Hasaan Ibn Ali, and Elmo Hope. Also included are recorded copies Sukoenig made of unissued Ibn Ali recordings from 1962 and a recorded interview of Thelonious Monk conducted at Pep's Lounge in Philadelphia by Sukoenig and Gerry Barrish in 1960. The Coltrane recordings comprise the saxophonist's famous 1963 performances at The Showboat in Philadelphia, containing the only known recording of Coltrane playing piano. The Ibn Ali recordings include 1964 performances at the University of Pennsylvania; 1965 recordings in New York City; and other unidentified recordings. The Elmo Hope recordings include 1964 performances at the West-Side YMCA Auditorium in New York City. The collection also contains recordings by saxophonist David Shier and Kenny Barron circa 1962. "

 

Alan Sukoenig is also mentioned earlier in this thread as one of the producers of the Ibn Ali box and he's apparently the mastermind behind the Ibn Ali wiki entry

Thanks. I'd seen that one, but was somehow under the impression there'd be another, licensed release. My mistake.

So by now, does everyone here have this CD of Marsella's trio's tribute to Hasaan?

If not, what are you waiting for?  A phenomenal album, in tribute to a phenomenal album -- what's not to love?

Just listened to the album on YouTube. Nice, but not quite my taste, and don't like the drums being so forward in the mix.

I deleted an erroneous post because I misread the description of the material at Rutgers. The Atlantic session is from 1965, and the description does not in any way suggest there is a copy at Rutgers. I thought it was the 1962 sessions mentioned at Rutgers but then I saw the dates. Sorry about that.

I am still curious about the Atlantic Fire and why some backups exist. Focusing on the Fruscella date: another thread suggested Ira Gitler had a copy, so I could see a scenario where that got to Jordi Pujol somehow. But here is the question this poses to me:

HOW did Gitler get a copy? And what other guys in the know (journalists, producers and other misfits) might have other secret copies of allegedly lost Atlantic sessions? Bob Porter posted elsewhere that he had info and that some information existed but of course he won't share.

Finally, the lost Atlantic quartet album is being issued. See this morning's announcement by Omnivore Records.

It contains a link to a trailer, where one can hear short snippets of two tracks, "Viceroy" followed by "Atlantic Ones."

Release date is specified as March 5, 2021.

 

Hello!! Good to have you back on the board! (And I think we have a friend in common, in Kansas City.)

I’m so incredibly excited about this news, and March 5th can’t get here quick enough. Literally counting the days (only 81, as of today).

Hey, since you can ID the 2 specific tune names in that trailer clip, what else can you tell us about this session?

Like about how long is it? - including the 3 alternates.

And/or is there anything else you can tell us about it?

In total, including the 3 alternate takes, it's just a bit over an hour. Expect a somewhat different view of Hasaan from the one you got from the Max Roach Trio record. The restoration by Michael Graves is superb. The two takes of "True Train" are at surprisingly different tempi.

I assume the acetate is essentially contemporaneous to the 1965 session.  But was the tape of it also from that era, or much later? — and how much later?  (And was the tape used, because the acetates were lost? — or because they were essentially unusable??)

And I presume, the tape was reel-to-reel?

And was the source of the reel then presumably Odean?

Many thanks for your insights on this, and anything else you’d care to share.

Another question: is Odean on every track / every take? Or are there any piano-trio tracks (not unlike, perhaps, Andrew Hill’s Blackfire).

Thanks again!!
