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

I've trimmed my vinyl collection to about 450 LPs and two boxes of 45s. All catalogued and ready for the day when I'm ready to sell them. I find the vinyl revival fascinating and to my amazement I started to buy vinyl again after not buying it for many years. I say 'amazement' because over past few years I became one of those strange collectors who buys limited edition vinyl not to play but to keep SEALED. Go figure!

Just saw Lynch's Mulholland Drive for the first time. What a mind-bender that is. I'm still trying to get my head around what actually happened and what was a dream and/or some parallel universe formed when some event happened one way in one universe and the reverse happened in the other.

I do not have that album (New Life). It looks like the library up here has a copy but it doesn't circulate, so I would need to book some time to listen to it there. I do have Re:Action on CD. I've seen him play a couple of times fairly recently, mostly at the Jazz Bistro, but I think he also plays Hirut, and I'll try to catch him the next time he pops up.

Disc 2 - works by Roussel

Good question, and if it's not really answered here, oh well, fascinating story anyway.

My introduction to Bernie Senensky was hearing him on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz. Like many Canadian artists who recorded for Canadian labels, I had no exposure to his recordings until I started getting serviced with his music.

I just acquired A New Shade of Blue (recent Japanese CD reissue). It is most excellent!
