LOL!

Is that elephants Gerald?

After seeing Roscoe Mitchell, Muhal Richard Abrams, Henry Threadgill, Wadada Leo Smith, Hamid Drake, Mars Williams, Ira Sullivan, Pheeroan akLaff, Brian Sandstrom, Alvin Fielder and Randy Weston this week in Chicago, all I can do is echo what my old friend Lloyd Sachs said on Thursday night - "you were really lucky". Lucky indeed.

Hah!!

Well I have posted some shots on facebook and will share them here. Talking to Henry. Talking with Randy Weston after an amazing solo recital. My old friend Alvin Fielder with his old friend London Branch. Wadada had a video artist working the jumbo tron during his performance and this is a "capture". Wadada Leo Smith's crew taking a curtain call after performing some sections of his Ten Freedom Summers. Maybe more later.

Really happy for that.I feel better.

Thank "god" the artist is dead and there are few to complain.

This thread seems to have set up my dreams for the night. Thanks a bunch. "My scanner is down" sounds like a premise for a new film.

Thanks.

Had a wonderful time. Details later. I think the Wadada set was the best thing by far but the locals seemed to disagree. Not many places you can hear something like Jack's set with Mitchell, Threadgill and Abrams. Atomic was nice but...........

Wonderful series Uli. Wish I could be there.

It is on Oliver Lake's Passin'Thru. I think it is an October release.

Second one was original Japanese lp design. The redesign was made to include a Frank Wolff photo.

yup.

Better you should compare with a real 78, not youtube. "Pearl" transfers are a whole nother subject.

I knew that. Ss1 has been here a long time as have I.

Never thought about it but I must have been at some.

Tracks 1-10 - Kansas City Six with Lester Young : Buck Clayton (tp) Lester Young (cl,ts-1) Eddie Durham (el-g,tb-2) Freddy Green (g,vcl) Walter Page (b) Jo Jones (d) recorded in NYC 9/27/38 Tracks 11-18 - Bill Coleman (tp) Dickie Wells (tb) Lester Young (ts) Joe Bushkin (p) John Simmons (b) Jo Jones (d) recorded in NYC 3/29/44 Tracks 19-22 - Kansas City Five (Eddie Durham and his Base Four) : Buck Clayton (tp) Eddie Durham (el-g) Freddy Green (g) Walter Page (b) Jo Jones (d) recorded in NYC 3/18/38

That would be Blue Sphere and Something in Blue (mentioned above) but they really are not "compositions" but improvised blues.

Hmm. Interesting, thanks. Does it say which issue in '61? I've got most of them at home. How could it be that Byrd would have a record come out on Warwick right in the middle of what I assume would be an exclusive contract with Blue Note -- unless the early '61 recording was literally after one BN deal had ended and another had started? The annuals reprint the reviews but don't mention the issue.

Checking my Down Beat review annuals I see Out of this World was reviewed in 1961 and Royal Flush in 1963.

Just received an advance copy -

Inorite?! ok??

Goode. That must mean you have not purchased a copy.

Pollini? I don't think so.
