Me too.

Ciao Clifford thanks Blue Rock Studio, New York City, circa February, 1978 The news comes from the discography of Mike Hames and Roy Wilbraham, whom I believe you know, and I also agree with what you say about the Here & Now period. Unfortunately, dear Clifford, I can no longer talk to Don about it (how many things I would like to ask him now). I say this because we saw each other many times between 1973 and 1991.

I haven't listened to that Jimmy Woods LP in years, but kinda feel, or felt, the same way about it.

The Harold Land thread spurred me to try this one again...(I like it, but still feels that the parts, formidable parts - Elvin, Land, Andrew Hill, Carmell Jones, George Tucker - are somewhat greater than its sum 🤷‍♂️)

Anyone know when the new Big Band Box is going to ship?

About 14" of snow overnight, and it’s been 14 degrees F for a while. I went out and did most of the clearing I needed to before my hands got too cold–just have about four feet of the driveway yet to clear, though it’s pretty thick there due to the county plowing. And. . . it’s still snowing. projected for another four hours or more. . .we could get three to four inches more. The price I pay for living in this wonderful area (as far as nature goes, people and restaurants qnd shopping etc. not so much). Chilling out from all that exercise with Bobby Timmons “Sweet and Soulful Sounds” Riverside material from the German Jazz Plus release that also includes “Born to Be Blue”. . .

What's the date? I'm not seeing it listed in the discography here: https://guitardiscography.com/wp-content/include-me/don-cherry/don-cherry-discography.php Usually, Siegfried Busch is credited as "Sigi" Busch, rather than "Tiki." The personnel lines up with the Hear & Now period, but I'm not seeing this specific session.

Does anyone have information about this unreleased Atlantic Records concert by Don Cherry? Lineup reported: Don Cherry – trumpet, vocals Janice "Jan" Cherry – violin Ricky Cherry – keyboards Stan Samole – guitar Claudio Ferreira – guitar Siegfried "Tiki" Busch – bass Anthony Busch – drums Naná Vasconcelos – percussion Raphael Cruz – percussion I’m asking because I’m not sure this concert ever actually took place. Any details, confirmation, or corrections would be greatly appreciated.

I liked both of them. 😎

I’d have to recheck JC Ref again, but “every time” may have been misidentified as “I want to talk” in precious release(s). As I noted in prior posts, the only track that had not been released previously was the (real) “I want to talk”. And to your point, they may have gotten more onto a CD — perhaps that is something for the future?? recall, though: prior releases of these concerts may (probably?) be based on high quality private recordings of the original radio broadcasts — like MANY unofficial releases out there — whereas these were from the original studio tapes that were apparently in rough condition (based on the liner notes). Perhaps these were the only salvageable tracks?? Don’t know….but it is a fair point.

And update from me: f-ing aggravated. New "delivery update": Now maybe next Thursday. THREE weeks to get this book at least. Seriously, WTFH.

Disc 1

👍

Disappointing release for me - the 62 concert actually had 7 tracks, but only three of these have been released on this set 1. I want to Talk About You (08:30) 2. Every time We Say Goodbye (05:20) - this track previously unreleased - listed in The Coltrane Reference 3. Bye Bye Blackbird (20:25) They could have loaded much more music onto the double CD version, probably most of the tracks below John Coltrane Quartet : John Coltrane (ts,sop) McCoy Tyner (p) Jimmy Garrison (b) Elvin Jones (d) Concert, "Kulttuuritalo", Helsinki, Finland, November 20, 1962 Bye bye blackbird Le Chant Du Monde (F)5742752.61 [CD] The inch worm - Ev'ry time we say goodbye - Mr. P.C. - Traneing in - My favorite things - [C7522]Add

One of my favorite Joe's! NP

Doug Sides - Perseverance whenever I buy an album like this, I am worried I might only play it once... but here I am playing it a second time a few years later... several lines of my collecting met on this one, it has pianist Ron Wilson (who is great on the recently reissued "Open Sky Unit" with Jacques and Micheline Pelzer), the pair of saxophonist Gijs Hendriks and Bert van Erk (whose many LPs I all own by now), and three Americans with interesting discographies (Roger Cooke, Doug Sides and Steve Galloway)

Thanks for the heads up!

Talking about liner notes (those that were not just obvious sales blurb for a brand-new release), I think most people would he hard pressed to decide whose body of work overall was on a higher level - Nat Hentoff or Ira Gitler. One fact that also came to mind (without wanting to slight the achievements of Nat Hentoff in ANY waY) - I seem to have read somewhere that Hentoff probably would not have been too keen on seeing some of his early record reviews for Down Beat from the 50s being recirculated in later decades. Becauses his assessments had changed. And though I cannot name precise examples right now (I would have to re-read in detail) I remember having felt similarly when reading the early volumes of those Down Beat Record Reviews books. There were instances that left you wondering what his judgment would have been, say, 10 year later.

Some Prez to smoothly start the working day:

soon on cd too: https://thelostrecordings.store/en/collections/tous-nos-produits/products/john-coltrane-live-in-finland-1961-1962-double-uhqcd
