I think we have found the root of the board problems. Ban Guy and all will be OK!

This entire post is amateurish and embarrassing. Wayne is one artist I admire greatly from the last 45 years of the music, but you do him no favors.

Is that the Mosaic box?

Oh yeah - I didn't send yours.

36!!!! I have thousands of recordings older than that. Have a perfect day.

So I guess when you pass thru here you will be buying. I'll be sure to bring along lots of cds for sale.

Their Bethlehem list is kinda' depressing. Same old stuff. If they wanted to get our attention a few "oddities" would have helped. No imagination.

I guess I should say here, the price is $15 post paid in the US with domestic postage deducted from the cost of "foreign" shipments. Fair warning - I will be away on a "vacation" June 10-18.

I will pray for the best. Be strong and help your dad if he needs it.

All orders "in house" were shipped today. Thanks.

Black Saint is a through composed piece and one of the exceptions I mentioned meant to be edited from the beginning.

Which format?

Guess I did not stop.

1. Haven't you noticed all the "Teo edits" being restored (Miles, Monk, Mingus) - and which Miles albums are you including in "classics". 2. THE primary words used to describe the "qualities" of jazz have been "spontaneous, instant, improvised, etc." Multitudes of illusions can be created with notes played by people in real time. There are musical creations designed to be edited but these are special and well designed situations. Jim asked about my work. First of all, a decent producer does 80% of the work before entering the studio. Here is a review of edits and "slights of hand" in my work (not including work issued by other labels (with the first exception): First session was Roscoe Mitchell's Sound on Delmark - the title piece was too long for "first rate" lp mastering at the time and we combined 2 takes to shorten the side. (A tech issue, not musical). n-1 - Bowie's Numbers 1&2 - shortened side a for the above reason. Combined 2 takes to fill out side b. n-2 - Roscoe's Congliptious - no edits n-3 & 4 not produced by me but no edits evident in the tapes n-5 Roscoe's Old/Quartet - no edits and no alternates n-6 Von's Have No Fear - one edit when piano stopped, took 10 seconds and stuff started again - one beat lost. No alternates recorded n-7 Warne - no edits n-8 Ben Webster - not recorded by me but no edits evident in the tapes n-9/10 Roscoe Mitchell's Nonaah - no edits except the quartet for 4 alto saxophones recorded section by section (4) and spliced together. n-11 Von Freeman's Serenade & Blues - no edits and no alternates n-12 Air's Air Time - no edits n-13 Lucky Thompson - not recorded by me but no edits evident in the tapes n-14/15 Roscoe's LRG/etc - no edits n-16 Charles Tyler's Saga of the Outlaws - no edits n-17 Bobby Bradford/John Stevens vol 1 - no edits n-18 Bobby Bradford/John Stevens vol 2 - no edits n-19 Wadada Leo Smith's Spirit Catcher - no edits n-20 Roscoe's Snurdy - 2 composed pieces meant to be cut up are edited n-21 Hal Russell NRG - no edits and no alternates n-22 Eddie Johnson's Indian Summer - one edit when a tune broke down in fours n-23 Fred Anderson's Missing Link - no edits and no alternates n-24 Hal Russell & Mars Williams - We recorded for 6 hours and Mars cut it down to lp length. n-25 Hal Russell NRG + Charles Tyler - no edits, no alternates and one overdub n-26 Wadada Leo Smith's Procession - one edit to connect 2 parts. As I said earlier, a decent producer does most of the work before the sessions. I do consider myself a decent producer.

I'm stopping.

Once again we live in very different worlds.

It's the difference between music and either "a routine" or "an act".

Reality.

At some point (earlier than most presume) it stops being a "jazz recording". Talk to me about Armstrong, Morton, Oliver, Hawk, Ellington, Bird, Trane, Ornette, (or whoever) and then talk to me about "tracking" as it is currently practiced. It may be "something" but it ain't "jazz".

I would not trust 'em. Call the DMV (or whatever it's called in NY) and ask about getting a copy of the title.

I like the sound of the Centennial box and Never No Lament is from the same masters. I agree Jack The Bear has some problems but NOT enough to keep people away. FYI, Steve Lasker (Centennial box engineer) redid Jack The Bear for the BMG "Centennial Collection" (cd/dvd combo) and it sounds dandy. I will eventually burn a new disc to replace the earlier one.

Good to know. I thought after my PM last night, I was banned. Get healthy!

Do you mean Danny Barker? IIRC, WC played his interpretation of Bunk Johnson's demonstration of Bolden.
