Big Wheel Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 (edited) As I mentioned in the discography forum, for the last month I have been putting together a marathon of music recorded live at the Village Vanguard. It starts Thursday at 7am ET and will be continuing (with a few short interruptions) until May 6. I will post a full program if people want to check it out. For now, if you're interested, go to http://www.whrb.org/pg/MayJun2003.html or listen in by going to http://www.whrb.org and clicking "regular feed." Enjoy!

Big Wheel Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 We're underway now. 104 hours! It's going to be nuts. I emailed Mike Ricci at All About Jazz about this, but if any regular posters over there want to mention it on their boards, that would be awesome.

Guest Chaney Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 (edited) Listening and loving what I'm hearing! I don't own this recording and found the following interesting as I blindly judged the unknown-to-me drummer on Night In Tunisia (track one) to be a bit stinky: The recording that resulted documents two shows in the afternoon and evening of November 3, 1957. Rollins employed different bands for the two shows. The afternoon show sported Donald Bailey on bass and Pete (La Roca) Sims on drums and the only contribution to the whole by this band is the opening "Night in Tunisia." The remainder of the recording is all Wilbur Ware on Bass and Elvin Jones on Drums. the recently released rudy Van Gelder Edition is superior to all previous releases of this material. Interesting.

Big Wheel Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Oops, I read the Program Guide wrong--the Orgy will actually be interrupted at 1pm on May 5, but will pick up again that evening and finish up the morning of May 6. If the moderator's reading this, can he edit my subject line for me? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
