That's the first session after Alfred "retired". I'm pretty sure this is explained in the book.

'cept, Art and Laurie "worked" this to the end of his life. "fundamental fraudulence" was their way of life. I say this as a fan, late friend and associate.

I forgot to mention I missed the announcement of the dickhead festival. Welcome y'all.

cute, and

When did Maxell and others stop producing 2 inch tape?

Don't ask how I know, but the BN/Liberty sale papers were signed on May 19, 1966 - hours after Alfred recorded Unit Structures. When it was released it had a Liberty cover with no mention on the heavy Plastilyte (old pressing plant) pressing. This stuff makes me dizzy, but I was a retail buyer in Chicago at the time, a BN fan and got most of them as they were released.

The records were NOT issued or pressed in strict numerical order. The Liberty imprinted covers appeared before the change of pressing plants. For about a year there were lots of deviations. I have a first pressing promo of Jody Grind and the label says "a division of Liberty Records, Inc" but it is a heavy Plastilyte (sp?) pressing. This is the only one like it I have seen.

2 alternates: Straighten Up and Fly Right 5:15 Just Jazz 5:14

Looks like you already had "your" answers and don't need the rest of us.

The New Tristano.

Quintessential Recording Session.

Classic Early Solos (1934-37).

Indent.

Not a "highjacking" but I wonder if more poets lurk here. We have Late, David Gitin and my friends Art Lange and the departed JB Figi are/were poets/jazz fiends as well. Any lurkers?

Fantastic. Thanks for the alert.

Konitz' Spirits was recorded in 1971 and issued in 1972. Senior moment?

Where's that buzz coming from? What's that crackle? Never mind boys, keep playing. I'll find it.

Commodore, box 1, disc 2, Kansas City Five.

Missed it.

That All Stars date was one of my favorite Swingvilles. I didn't know about this reissue. Thanks for pointing it out.

Any collector worth his salt SHOULD know that primary colors ALWAYS go BEFORE the pastels. Ya' gotta build to those suckers pal. You another Republican?

Front cover, man, the cover! Get with it! That sets the mood for the music. That's the important stuff. You can absorb the "little shit" later, like the thin orange stripes on Benson's Breezin'!

i sort all my recordings (78, 45, 33, cassettes, reel to reel, cds, master tapes) by dominant color - starting with the pastels.

Thanks for posting Jason. I think Warne "tolerated" the ep 'cause Lou wanted it. He quickly had him change back to a "real" piano after that one take. BTW, I never heard from your brother. Is there a problem?
