You can have Chewie.

Must be the Concord 3 disc box of the early Prestige stuff. It was announced a long time ago and delayed.

You aren't fickle, you just need to broaden your horizon. There's a big, wonderful world passing you by. Bet you didn't even look at St Louis Jimmy or Tampa Red.

You must have stuff from a later concert. No quartet performances at this one. I also think the Chicago concert was earlier than '86 - maybe '85 or even '84.

First order (5530) 12th. Received shipment 21st. Second order (5779) 15th. Confirmation email gave ship date of the 19th but no tracking number yet.

Great thread, thanks Lazaro for sharing these remembrances! Chuck, part of this tape is circulating (it was on radio, back then, I assume) - if you're talking of Chicago Jazz Festival 1986. Here's the line-up going with it: Tom Harrell - trumpet Don Sickler - trumpet Eddie Bert - trombone Steve Lacy - soprano sax Phil Woods - alto sax Charlie Rouse - tenor sax Howard Johnson - baritone sax, bass clarinet Barry Harris - piano Cecil McBee - bass Ben Riley - drums Yes I'm sure broadcast tapes are floating around. Barry Harris was NOT on piano. Mal was. In 1982 Mal and Steve performed as a duo at the same festival. It was broadcast too.

I had been planning a concert like this while Monk was alive and after his death I could not continue. A couple years later Art Lange revived the idea and carried it off supurbly. Don Sickler, Tom Harrell, Cecil McBee and Eddie Bert were in the band too. I have a tape of the gig. They played Epistrophy, Bye-Ya, I Mean You, Evidence, Light Blue, Oska T and Four In One.

Please list your Shepp, Ayler, Cecil, etc records.

I spent the weekend "cleaning" our deck in prep for a new staining. I need 3-5 days to let the wood dry and it rained this morning. The weather outlook is now 30-60% rain for a few days. It was "all clear" when I started.

Steve and Mal were two special people and I had the great opportunity to present them in concert once. I will never forget them or the music they made that night. Maybe Lazaro will chime in with the "advice for a life" Mal gave him.

You need more.

Completely different deal.

Mostly abstract/reflective stuff. By "abstract" I do not mean "hard to listen to". At it's best it just friggin' sings. There was a huge gap between Reflections and the rest of the stuff.

I have around 10 records with them together and want info about the others. They were sometimes "magical" in each others company.

As long as we are "adjusting" the board, how about a "new posts" button at the bottom of threads. It's a pain scrolling to the top to do this.

A very good friend asked why there wasn't a thread like this. Steve and Mal were a special combination and their recordings deserve discussion. Views from informed listeners are welcomed.

Sorry I missed this. Happy, happy!!!!!!

How many channels do you need for a 2 track recording. Everything beyond that is an illusion - like phony stereo of 30+ years ago.

Stained napkin is not a good image for marketing.

I said she would not have had an early career without her father's help and could not understand why her "career" continued after his death unless money was involved. I discovered the answer.

chuck, if memory serves, you were rather disrespectful to the musician with your post. and the thread was in the GET THE WORD OUT forum, a place to post announcements, press releases, etc. you were replying to a press release posting. btw, we have over 9700 bb members and we've banned a grand total of nine people. i don't think anyone has been banned since andy/che. if anyone has any questions about the website (http://www.allaboutjazz.com) and its direction, i'm happy to answer them. if there are musicians on this board with questions about MY AAJ or the calendar, please post them here or email me. i have developed a MY AAJ FAQ for those interested. What I said.
