How about "This is not just a new album- it is a legacy in the making", for an 82 year old master who has released tons of great recordings over his career? The legacy is already firmly in place.

I preferred the Kellogg's 3D baseball cards to the Post baseball cards. I had a ton of those Kellogg's cards but sadly, the plastic always cracked and often peeled off after a short time.

For as long as I can remember, tape deck & tape recorder have been synonymous. I think what Joe Harley was saying is that Capitol feed their audio to two tape recorders. One deck's/recorder's tape was used to create an LP master that was used to cut the LP record while the other deck's/recorder's tape was put away, meaning shelved. In this case, it sounds like the second machine's tape was chopped up into smaller pieces and stored as "phono reels". The "assembled" part of this may be part of the confusion. The master tape for "In The Wee Small Hours" was made from five different recording sessions, so some assembly was required.

Saw Altschul's Axiom 5 group (John Irabagon, Uri Caine, Mark Helias) at Big Ears this year. An excellent set!

Do you have the "Baggy's Rehearsal Sessions" on Dagger Records? It's literally the rehearsal tracks leading up to the Fillmore shows. They're very loose and the guys are obviously having a lot of fun. But the sound is good and there's some good material.

Doesn't he say that one "set" was put away, rather than a "deck"? This is from the first post: "Capitol ran two tape decks for this recording (and others). One set was assembled and used many 100s of times. The other was put away [...]"

Yeah, but "landmark recording that will cement his place in the pantheon of jazz greats"? With all those singers, etc?

53 minute continuous piece / recency bias but one of the greatest sets I’ve ever witnessed. The intensity & power of this trio is boundless. Ches’ electronics were deeper & heavier than last week & David played the disruptor as well as being even grittier than last week. Wowza.

Two old friends. More friends.

RIP. This clip is a favorite:

I remember Mad Magazine having cardboard records like”Meet the Staff of Mad” and “It’s a Gas.”

Same band, same time, same place. 15 minutes until take off:)

Of course I remember them. But not as fondly as the Post baseball cards!

Still not clear about the one deck being put away thing...

IMO excellent.
