Hot House and the "JATP" film are included in a 2 disc dvd set titled Greatest Jazz Films Ever. The set also includes Jammin' the Blues, The Sound of Jazz, The Sound of Miles Davis and some other snippets.
This is really disturbing. This is not an aborted session. I have all the material and hoped to issue it some day. Roscoe and Alvin control the rights. Can anyone produce a source?
My recollection is that most of those other Verve limited release CDs (whatever that series was called) were also 5000 worldwide each, and those were all available for quite some time (except that Marquis de Sade Lalo Schifrin).
But heck I just bought the Waldron/Lacy and Burrell, and soon I'll get the Art Endemble and Clifford Thornton discs.
Unlike the "domestic" Verves, these originate from Universal France. It is my understanding 2500 were available in Europe, 1000 for the US and the balance for the rest of the world.
I watched my "in stock" items dwindle until Sunday when only 2 weren't backordered - and the Braxton dbl was listed as last copy. I cancelled the order and reordered from J&R.
