When we recorded Warne's "All Music" Lou Levy gave me the publishing rights to "Lunarcy" and Warne offered a couple of tunes we recorded. I had no publishing company and had never dealt with this aspect of the business but accepted. After the "Apogee" sessions, Lou asked for the tune back and I agreed - and then it wasn't included on the original record. Too bad for Lou. Warne told me of drugs all over the place at the studio and after the session the players were given cassettes. They were all used to reel to reel tapes so the producers ordered Nakamichis for the band.

I am waiting for the Charlie Patton stamp.

About half way thru the first season of "The Americans" in a race to get to the "on demand" versions of the second season before they disappear.

I love this stuff.

Yup.

The destruction of the tapes is not unusual. EMI dumped a bunch of 78 masters once they were transferred to tape in the '50s. I also know of at least one label from my era that dumped tapes after the first digital transfer, and worse dumped tapes deemed "degraded" and not able to transfer to digital. When I told the label owner of the way to reclaim the tapes he said "shit".

and he even bows to the audience after a performance.

I remember sometime in the late '70s in conversation with Michael Cuscuna he mentioned Glen Moore and I said I didn't know who he was. He laughed and said "that's what I love about you".

Yes, and the RVG edition added an alternate of Gone With the Wind.

Maybe more food for the nay-sayers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfkd4i9Hlsc

I never connected on records or in person (last time was with Art Pepper) - never felt there was a "real" Roger Kellaway.

Surprised by all the negativity. Many years of pleasure here.

Mine arrived today. Didn't really need it yesterday and $26.82 was a good price.

Dexter was always behind the beat. It was one of the devices he used. No biggie.

Playing this again...by chance, does anybody know anything further about the trumpeters here, Robert Nagel & Allan Dean? Don't know which is who, but there's a sureness of phrasing on display that is certainly impressive, and immediately appreciated by this listener. The entire ensemble is impressive (as are Schuller's readings), but the trumpet playing is, when it occurs, the final micro-focusing of the lens. Or so it sounds to my ears on these first few listenings. Going back many years, Nagel was a friend of a friend. I will see what I can find.

Nope.

Yup.

Can "Kobe '66" be far behind?

In the mail today.

Hadn't realized it was a Keepnews production.

Got me 2.
