It must be this one

Try this - it isn't expensive.

Gotta b better

More is out there than you can absorb.

Alfred Lion purchased George Lewis masters from Bill Russell (American Music). Since these were not "union sessions" BN released these on a different label.

Curious about the "modern" Climax material.

Nice indeed. Have you seen Birthday celebration?

Last time I checked I have 41 twelve inch discs, 33 ten inchers and 3 of the Climax discs. Maybe I'll check the 45s tomorrow. I think I have fewer than 20 of those.

Number 4

This morning Facebook informed me it was Mark's birthday. I miss Jazz Moose.

On deck for this afternoon

Amusing.

Disc 2 A Summer's Tale

I enjoy the commercials.

There wouldn't be just one set, and the tapes probably exist.

Yes, that's from "The Divine One".

The 2 disc version with the rehearsals and brekdowns is a fascinating document.

The catalog numbers were BN 4210 and 4211. This info (including titles) is in the Ruppli/Cuscuna Blue Note book. The ESP record is 4211 and the titles slated for 4210 were Story Teller, I Don't Love You, Children's Books and Architecture.

As I understand it, BN made a deal with Ornette for the Town Hall material and actually made test pressings for 2 lps. Then (somehow) Bernard Stollman (operating as Ornette's manager) issued an ESP lp. Ornette recorded the Golden Circle material as a "make good" for the project. I think I have told this before.

Artifact marketing, not music.

Maybe they are using Ornette as a marketing "test" for future projects. That's what these people do.

Sigh! Sign of the times with little to do with music - just commerce.

Sides C & D, the "live" version.

Joe Pickett, season one, episodes 6 & 7.
