The 2 disc "best of" includes 3 bonus tracks: Moose the Mooche (8:21) from the Dakota session, It's Impossible (7:15) from the Divide sessions and This Is Always (2:56) from the live portion of Improvisor.
The dvd is in 2 parts; the first a public interview conducted by Neil Tesser and the second is the ceremony renaming a portion of 75th St Von Freeman Way. The interview is 38 minutes and the other is 10. Both were recorded in October 2002.
Not that it is important to anyone but me, I want to add Monk's Music. This is probably the first jazz record memorized. Monk, Hawk, Coltrane, Ware, Blakey - whooooo Jack!
Never saw a glass bottle with a bottom like the one pictured.
Bottled water from any source is an unnecessary drain on the world's water supply and is simply a marketing ploy. Next they will be selling you air.
Never any corrections from me.
I am a peasant with a peasant's lack of understanding and disregard for the proper stuff. If you do not understand anything I say, ask for a translation.
I am really curious about the exclusion of AACM players. Muhal and George Lewis are in town. People who played at the Velvet Lounge don't really count.
It is friggin' NYC and the best you can do it this. How about the BAG guys too. Oliver Lake is worth whatever you could manage. Too late for Julius.
Ann and I were thinking of spending a shitload for the events, but...........
All of this gives me the creeps. I knew the fine bass player Milton Suggs in Chicago - he worked with Betty Carter and others. He was a kind person killed way too early by disease. Can't shake that to enjoy the rest. Sorry to fuck up the thread.
First of all, there are only 4 Deccas (New York, New York; At the Five Spot; In Kansas City; Jazz in the Space Age)-- not enough for a Select. Secondly, all with the exception of In KC have been released domestically.
There is more than enough material left over from the "KC" sessions to fill out a good Select.
