Mickey Lolich has died at 85. RIP. Mickey Lolich, Detroit Tigers 1968 World Series hero, dies at 85

I knew there was a live recording of Giant Steps with very poor sound quality (it must be somewhere on YouTube), but I don't know if it's the same one Tiberi recorded. I knew nothing at all about a live recording of Satellite. I disagree with everyone about Satellite; it's a composition I really like. I think it has a sentimental yet futuristic soaring melody. Though the core is How High The Moon, of course.

Put me down for the full release. That's a no-brainer!

The window allowing teams to contact upcoming free agents opened Sunday. Instead, many players announced their intentions to move to different clubs, indicating that they had already been in contact with the various teams.

Actually, my reaction was just the opposite. Holy shit!! As far as I know, there have so far been no known Coltrane live recordings of either of those two songs. Am I wrong?

+1 on both counts.

OK, I see I skimmed the info. But how revelatory will this be? And what price are we dealing with?

Oh dear, does this mean the Tiberi material will all be pricey, limited edition vinyl?

Allegedly, this is just a teaser for the September 2026 release of the complete (?) tapes.

I don't mean to sound grumpy, but two songs? And I always thought "Satellite" was one of Trane's lesser compositions.

JOHN COLTRANE The Tiberi Tapes: A Preview of the Mythic Recordings Event: RECORD STORE DAY 2026 Release Date: 4/18/2026 Format: LP Label: Verve/Impulse! Quantity: 6000 Release type: RSD Exclusive Release Among the most fabled and mythologized recordings of the last 65 years, the private recordings of John Coltrane’s group made by musician Frank Tiberi in the early 1960s have long been the subject of jazz world rumor and intense speculation. Tiberi followed Coltrane and his Classic Quartet into clubs in New York and Philadelphia, capturing the otherworldly music being created nightly on his portable tape recorder. For the first time ever, these recordings will be made available in September 2026 as part of John Coltrane’s Centennial celebrations. For Record Store Day 2026, we’re offering a single LP preview of these historic recordings—a project that will undoubtedly grow and enhance the legend of John Coltrane. Tracklist SIDE A: 1. Giant Steps (13:51) SIDE B: 2. Satellite (11:44) https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19994

Bam.

Spacemen 3 - For All the F'd up Children of this World

All 3 remaining records are now sold. Thanks.

Just got in “Classic V-Disc Big Band Jazz Sessions” Mosaic Records 10 cd set and am playing disc 1–some great Woody Herman sides start this off. A very handsome set, with a fat booklet. And the sound seems really really good.

Freedom

This is 4 LP's and includes July 26/27/28, but we will need to see more details to know what it actually adds. And it's moot for me if there is no CD issue.

The BYG/Affinity 'Live In Paris' double LP is taken from the July 27th and 28th concerts. No idea if this set includes new material but the wording kind of suggests not.

Listen here. 💥

And dead center in mine!

I am very intrigued by the possibilities implied by material from the Jazz Showcase but that debut selection ... it's very safe to say that 70s Henderson plus Joanne Brackeen is a long, long way from my wheelhouse. Are you with me, @Peter Friedman ?

It sounds like the Henderson will be a 2 CD release. This is certainly intriguing: This is part of Resonance's debut launch of releases from Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase archives, marking the beginning of what will hopefully be a long line of incredible releases from the club's archives. Here's hoping that the material from Jazz Showcase sells well enough to keep bringing out these releases!
