  1. Yes.
  2. I can not provide details at the moment but I used to have the record. No friggin' duet and don't think this is from the same gig at all.
  3. Buddy DeFranco.
  4. Please direct any attractive, female, double reed players to my house. B-) Screw the Philharmonic.
  5. I have 80-90 minutes of this stuff.
  6. But that Stix is good. hey deus62, go run around that tree.
  7. Maybe I should let this pass..............wtf, the set does not include all the master takes.
  8. Private tape. I'll be curious about the amount of material you get.
  9. The sound is not very good. Haven't listened to it in a couple of years though.
  10. As long as they are considering a title change, I wonder if it will re released as a Pete Sims date. B-)
  11. So, I guess Silver N' Brass is your favorite of the bunch.
  12. Though it does not fit the original question, Roscoe Mitchell plays recorder on the first record I produced in 1966.
  13. Just about to go upstairs and eat a big hunk of salmon with brown rice and veggies.
  14. I don't like Leo, like Martin, think the "story" is fantastic and hate all the Oscar hype enough to wait for the dvd (and for my blood pressure to go down). This is all complicated by the Eisner/Weinstein fight. Scorsese should have a couple of Oscars by now but the industry jockey-ing (sp?) is insulting.
  15. Sorry Jim. The 50 year limit is up on some already and some fellow in Europe named Jordi has 'em.

    Don Byas

    I had high hopes when I bought this CD years ago, but I also was disappointed. I wish they had made this recording ten or so years earlier. I don't think age was the problem. I heard they were "falling down drunk" at the date.
  17. Last year Mary Ellen Rouse (widow of Charlie) told me she had to hire a lawyer to get his tapes back. This was after she discovered it had been reissued on cd.

    Don Byas

    I feel the same way. My favorite Byas dates are the various quartet/quintet sessions from the '40s. I love those.
  19. Tape op is the term.
  20. Licensors do not pay royalties to artists - they pay royalties to the source label and that label pays the artists their share.
  21. Frontier info When Clifford played the tapes for me Cuscuna copied (by hand) listings from the tape boxes and added more info from questioning Clifford. Mike then gave me the paper and I am reproducing the contents below. Wilbur Ware w/Jordan, Cherry, Blackwell A – 1 Symphony For …… 10.16 bass solo 2 Red Cross 8:21 3 Mod House 5:49 B – 1 Wilbur Ware Tune 7:24 2 A Real Nice Lady 8:35 3 All By Myself 7:43 bass solo Note: B – 1 has “Superbass” scribbled above title and “? BeWare” below B – 2 is really Sophisticated Lady Ed Blackwell A – 1 Shades of General Lofty 21:10 2 That Moment of Glance 4:50 B – 1 Farid 9:05 2 Eternal Rhythm 13:55 A – 2, B – 1 Blackwell, Ware, Cherry, Lugman Lateef A- 1, B – 2 Blackwell, Higgins, D. Charles, Roger Blank, Frank Charles Note: Lugman was Clifford’s spelling – “Tenor man from New Orleans” he said. Are you familiar with Rabin’s A Discography of Free Jazz? Published by Knudsen in 1969 with a manuscript date of August 1968 noted by Rabin. The newest entry in the book is from September 2, 1968 (!). This Sept entry is a Cherry session from Stockholm with “unknown titles”. He lists the Ware session as Jan ’68 along with the Blackwell, Cherry and Brackeen dates which leads me to believe my info of Blackwell on this session is correct. In this book, Rabin lists the Cherry session as a quartet – no mention of Maffy. The tune listing is as you report from Lord, with the following spelling difference: “Ahmed Mouvafak”. I did not hear (or see) the Cherry tapes since Clifford said Don didn’t want his session included in the sale.
  22. Correct.
  23. There's been a bunch of discussion - his name wasn't on the threads, that's all.
