Not for Alfred or Frank. I guess it is good for consumers/fans. Can you imagine if something like this recognized their work at the time?? Never happens.

Don't know about the year thing (I believe 1968) but the record was never officially released at the time - only promos were pressed and semi-distributed. They were pressed at the Chess plant in Chicago and I saw them there while pressing the first edition of Roscoe's Congliptious.

I hate that crap.

Way too late to have real meaning.

Fest review by Kevin Whitehead: http://www.wonderingsound.com/news/chicago-jazz-festival-2014-highs-lows/

Two 2fer cds of merit: Oops, I see Paul already mentioned the Jordan.

Nice list Hot.

Late to the game but feel compelled to say "First get the 3 Black Lions and the complimentary Jazz Colours discs."

Kidd Jordan, Matthew Shipp, Alvin Fielder and guests at an "after fest session" at Constellation in Chicago.

yup. He had a relatively light touch.

I heard the quartet + Shepp at the Down Beat Festival, the quartet at the Plugged Nickel twice and the new sextet (Alice, Pharoah, Jimmy, Rashid and (probably) DeJohnette, again at the Nickle. The only time I could hear the bass was for solo spots.

Stereo, first pressing promo.

One can configure hardware or software to make anything sound superior.

You may have better info.

I was just in the midst of thinning these out of the collection.

Black Saint and Soul Note were apparently reliable when it was Giovanni's operation; now that the business has passed on to his kids, they aren't abiding by original contracts. This is what I have been told by musicians & musicians' next of kin. I thought the family sold the labels to the outfit that became CAM.

I got both boxes for $53.

I enjoy going to games there.

Now I think I will pray tonight.

Let us hope they don't breed.

Does it infect Hubba Bubba first?

So today is the official release date of the Sullivan and Russell cds and Amazon says they are out of stock. I guess this means they sold their initial order and need more. Sadly, they only order once a week and it may be a while before they start shipping again.
