“We live in a political world.” Oh yes we do. “Everything is broken.” Seems that way. This album seems very relevant each year this century. I love Dylan as a mature singer/songwriter. And producer. (This one is produced by Lanois though). Bob Dylan “Oh Mercy” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

The Dameron Octet pieces.

Jaki Byard - Foolin' Myself (Soul Note, 1989)

Ahmad Jamal “Emerald City Nights: Live At The Penthouse (1966-1968)” Jazz Detective/Elemental 2 cd set, disc 2 My system is really singing due to some power treatment rearrangements and the dynamics on this set are far more audible than I had expected. Great playing too. . . Ahmad has his own world of sound.

Arthur Blythe - Blythe Spirit (Columbia, 1981)

I guess what I am really asking is if anything will be online (is it known they have a system akin to Vanderbilt's Aviary system?) Housed in a library for specific requests by patrons, with limitations on access or duplication - it's just guaranteed to make this a theoretical resource except for highly motivated researchers and crazy collectors.

The Kenny Burrell Quartet - The Tender Gender (Cadet, 1966)

I have the Town Hall Uptown on just now… And looking at the copyright date on the tray-card, I hadn’t realized it’d been nearly 20 years since it came out (Nov. 2005) — and 22+ years since this thread first began. Where does the time go??!!!

Ember box: 14 Feb 1950, Birdland: I Can't Get Started 1:07 Fremaux Vol.8: NYC mid 1950: I Can't Get Started 4:53 (Bernie Leighton p., Ray Brown b., Buddy Rich dr.) - prob. radio transcription around the With Strings session incl. thus same group (acc. the liner notes)

Gary Burton & Chick Corea - Crystal Silence (ECM, 1973)

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - Moanin' (BN, 1958)

I really enjoy this album. Though I usually associate Richie Cole as an alto sax player, He is highly impressive here on baritone sax.

I wonder if it is the version on disk 7 of this series, timing is 4:52 Charlie Parker perfect complete I have never come across this set before and have no discographical info Here it is on Discogs Discogs listing

Gato Barbieri - Fenix (Flying Dutchman, 1971)

Jerry Garcia Band “Don’t Let Go” Grateful Dead Records 2 cd set, disc 2 Jerry with Keith and Donna Godchaux, John Kahn and Ron Tutt. This would have been a fine night to be in the audience.

Well, depending on rights issues not everything can be shared online -- for example, when I worked for an artist's foundation in NYC, the photographers of the pieces (which were mostly performances) held reproduction rights, which is pretty common. Some of the photographers gave us carte blanche to do with images what we wanted, others were very careful about how their photos were distributed and worked with third parties to handle access and royalties. Depending on the contracts the Shorter family has with both photographers and the NYPL, the public availability online of certain things will vary. Regardless, I think it's a good thing the archives are at NYPL and will be curious to see what unfolds. As I mentioned to Hank, 138LF of original manuscripts and images will take time to catalog, and there'll be a lot of treasures to (hopefully) examine in the future.

Continuing an exploration of the "B's" on my shelf: Richard Beirach & George Mraz - Rendezvous (International Phonograph, Inc., 1981)

The only circulating live recorded version of I Can't Get Started by Charlie Parker that discographies state clearly as being from Birdland that of the February 14, 1950 concert. But that one would seem to have only been preserved at 1.5 minutes long. So the one on Bird's Eye 9 would seem to be a highly likely candidate. Of course, Kenny Washington could have something that is not yet circulating.

Joe Bonner - The Lifesaver (Muse, 1975)

Mingus Big Band “Blues and Politics” Dreyfus Jazz cd 300×297 9.63 KB One of my favorite of the Mingus Big Band releases. I’ve been thinking aobut both politics and blues . . . so it seems an appropriate listen.
