Dark.

A warm day–55 degrees right now! I was outside doing a few chores, and Lucinda had a PT appointment we went to. Finally I get to sit down in front of the system for a bit. I dug this 2 cd set out this week to listen to, it’s been a while. A killer band. . . I sort of think the two synth players are a bit unnecessary, but if Stan wanted them why not. Supposedly the last recorded concert for Stan. Stan Getz “The Final Concert Recording” Eagle cd disc 1

Sasha Berliner & co.

I like both Byrds

Now: Earlier: Both with the long-standing trio of Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell

Not at all to my taste. I will gladly stick with Byrd's albums I like such as: "The Cat Walk" and "Byrd In Flight", to name just 2 from the many he made in the '50's and '60's.

They had me here

If you would like to watch a GOOD horror movie (hard to find) ... watch this one ! It's flawless, well-constructed, no nonsense, and most important: SCARY

Ts-find, after a first listen i would say it's underrated ...

Thanks, i definitely beginning to appreciate Bernstein's Mahler more. That's being said i understand by now this is a classic Mahler cycle because of it's high ratings from other listeners. Mmm ... it will take time for me to absorbe the 'whole cycle' and draw my own conclusion.

The problem with ripping or duplicating a CD-R with a label unbalancing it is that most duplication processes do it at speeds >>1X, which exacerbates the problem.

Thanks for this writeup; it puts the album in a little more context. Maybe someday we'll get to hear it!

I merged @jimmyjrg 's topic with this one to get all of the interested parties in one place.

https://www.theideasletter.org/essay/a-pure-act-in-a-dirty-world/ I think this is a great interview and really stands out... enjoy! And IIRC there isn't a Matthew Shipp corner; maybe I'm a bit biased to start one, but someone should.

Thank you. I hadn't seen either of those books. That's interesting to know that the album was appearing in lists before Lord. @sonnymax Yes, I've been in touch with Dan. He motivated me to write this up so all of the information was collected somewhere.

RIP 'em first.

Just for the record, and in connection with the apearance of TRLP-18 in the Tom Lord discography, this album has earlier been listed in Jepsen's Jazz Records Vol. 5 (published in 1963) and in the discography by Walter Bruyninckx, both in the printed edition published in the 80s and in the somewhat more recent (and updated) digital version. The entries look like any normally released album. Jepsen and the printed edition of Bruyninckx forgot "Budo" in the track listing but this was corrected in the digital version of the Bruyninckx discography. It is likely that THIS is where Lord picked up his info. So it really seems like this album was "reputed" to exist for decades and decades and for a long time nobody ever made an effort to really check and set the record straight.

If you're searching for Jay, you should search this board as well. You'll find a member of this board has been looking and posting about this date for 10 years: Looking for Transition LP TRLP-18

I know there's a few Transition fans here, so I thought I'd share an article I wrote about the search for Jay Migliori's lost album for the label: https://medium.com/the-shadow-knows/searching-for-jazz-down-beat-jay-migliori-s-lost-album-50bcbdd56363 The short version is that I tried and failed to get in contact with Jay's widow or daughter to ask about the LP. I also contacted two labels who have issued other unreleased albums by Jay and they knew nothing about the Transition session. What I do know is the following: Group: Jay Migliori Quartet featuring Migliori (tenor sax), Tommy Ball (trumpet), Danny Kent (piano), Paul Morrison (bass), and Floyd Williams (drums). Recorded: 7 November 1955 in Boston Catalogue number: TRLP-18 Title: Jazz Down Beat Tracks: Bags’ Groove The First One Pat and the Lady Black Dog Let Yourself Go Budo Button for Butch Something’s Gotta Give The final track was released on the compilation album Jazz In Transition (TRLP-30). All of the information about the recording come from the TRLP-30 booklet.
