Back when I was at Delmark and we were perusing the master list that title was crossed out and "Migliori" was penciled next to it. I took that to mean Jay had the tapes.
I was on the programming committee in 1979 and programming chairman from 1980-1984. Larry was covering the arts/entertainment desk for the Tribune. Saw him every night of the fest as he dashed back to the office to file his reviews.
The point I hoped to make was people tend to go for the cheap stuff at the expense of the new stuff. Sonny Stitts without artist or publishing fees are tough competition for working artists and their partners.
