Is this some dutch female I don't know?

Don't know what the hell happened but I spent a great deal of time researching my correction to this post and now it is gone. Here is a short summation. In the '70s BN issued a 2 lp set called Back From The Gig under Ervin's name. It included the "soon to be released" material (Ervin, Woody Shaw, Kenny Barron, Jan Arnett and Billy Higgins) AND a Horace Parlan date reissued on cd as Happy Frame of Mind with Ervin, Johnny Coles, Grant Green, Butch Warren and Higgins.

Left out of the first session listed disco is Zonky. IIRC, From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs included the first session plus 2 previously unissued tracks from a couple of weeks later.

I heard they are all mastered from cassettes in Cuscuna's private collection.

Infriggin'deed.

That was reissued on Black Lion - much later stuff. I think Chris Albertson produced it.

Never warmed to the Savoy stuff and Trumpet At Tempo (Dials +) is a fine disc that benefits Tony Williams, a true jazz benefactor. All the others were probably dubbed from this cd.

He sold the same transfers over and over.

Nobody talking 'bout the Albert system anymore?

Musta been the bad eye.

We talking about record company execs and many customers here. Makes sense to me. There are more than a couple of universes out there.

See my edit.

The Ammons in question was issued as an lp in 1967 but is a reissue of 78S. You will kick yourself and curse Verve when you go to their site and examine the contents of an Ammons disc called Young Jug. It contains 8 of the 10 tunes you downloaded plus 12 more. I can't believe they did this.

No.

No bone problem there.

All the best.

Have not seen Vail's book but another shot from this date was on the liner of the Jazzland record.

Understand they are selling the same product as BMG. The product is supplied by the original labels and it is up to them if they alter the packages in any way.

Many have different UPC symbols. BFD.

Me too. Great to read it again.

Parochial school?

Max plays his ass off during the concert, and gives us the first view of a "totally bebop quintet". Prior to this recording all commercial bop records included a "ringer" from the previous era. I would hope all really serious fans of the era would listen (and chart sequentially) the commercial recordings of the time. I have done this and it's really informative. I decided the cymbal playing on 52nd nailed it as Sid - that was my call. I still think it is Catlett on drums here though S Crouch and L Schoenberg think it's Max.

I really disagree. We need "the music" and "the document". About 50 years ago Riverside did this and now Rounder has. We should say "thanks", not whine.
