  1. Hey, it's on the Big Eye Music label and only costs $10.98. Anything good enough for Louis Nelson is good enough for me.
  2. Correct on both counts, Mike. Om, Kulu Se Mama and Selflessness were Trane productions delivered to Impulse before his death.
  3. It is available.
  4. If you are talking about "music publishing rights" this does not hold water. By US law, once a tune has been recorded, any version is possible if statutory rates are paid. The publisher can only control the right to first recording. If your friend meant "artist rights", I do not believe Ellis had enough clout to get a special deal from Columbia at that time.
  5. Impulse would properly view any recordings made during their contract to be theirs for commercial exploitation. Any deal with Alice would have been for expedience.
  6. I too believe a can can be made and already has. B)
  7. Where's my man Sam Levinson (I threw his name into another thread to no reaction)? I grew up listening to him and still chuckle thinking of the guy. The majority of the list don't belong there. This is a cable tv list, not "history".
  8. I actually like the "Pan-African" stuff. If you are going to listen to AS ramble on, it might as well be this stuff. I wish the people putting these reissues together had a clue about the task at hand.
  9. My first thought was:"Is this guy asking about a gallon or a box?".
  10. Brownie, I don't think Buck ever recorded with the rhythm section you site. Were you thinking of the Kenny Barron, Buster Williams, Billy Hart trio?
  11. Walter was a wonderful spirit and I wish for more too. So, which ones do you have?
  12. and I thought it was about freezer bags.
  13. Two things - first, the original master tapes do not exist for the Atlantic sessions and second, you have an unrealistic idea of how many jazz cds/lps sell. 5000 is a dream.
  14. You doctors sure know how to sweet talk the rest of us.
  15. DAMN. I hate this stuff. Don't do no good for nothin'. Guess my drugs kicked in. Pearson is a fine artist, but minor by any standard I understand. I find the stuff in this box the weakest of his career. I never considered the Mosaic set - just to get my attitude in perspective.
  16. McDougal had some sort of government job - fed, state, city - I don't remember. He used to stop at my office regularly and talk about "the guys". He is/was a great spirit. I remember introducing him to Bob Porter (at the time, Jug's producer at Prestige) and Bob said " I love McDougal, but he keeps spitting on me". That was a hazard with him - his saliva glands must have worked overtime.
  17. The stereo masters for Mingus Presents Mingus are missing, so Mosaic used the mono originals. The stereo cds are from 3rd, 4th, 5th (who knows) generation dubs. I have not heard the most recent cd mastering, but the previous versions were horrible.
  18. As a lowly viewer, I have memories of Lee Morgan in the audience, shouting at one of these shows. Am I wrong?
  19. Never been a fan of the players. Please convince me.
  20. The real point of this thread is - Weezie wants to save some money by buying "non-US goods". No value judgement here, just a note to others.
  21. Two ways to interpret the music - as music or psychology. I say much of late Coltrane is great music, especially the duos with Ali. I think Om is "less good" music and worth investigation for serious fans. This is an unfortunate "entry point" for the uninitiated.
  22. Wish I could see over my belly to undo my pants for the next website. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP.
  23. BIG RETRACTION! I honestly thought this thread was started by "the fan of One Sound". I made a big ERROR and blamed the wrong person. Blame it on the drugs my doctor gave me after surgery today.
  24. Did anyone see a "smiley"? When I pay bills and taxes I feel a sense of "completion". I may be a sucker, but I usually feel good about my situation. I'm alive, I pay my bills on time, I pay my taxes and my wife and children are alive. That is as much as I can expect. BUT it ain't nobody's business. I think this is an insulting thread. Is that really a rash you have, or something more serious?
  25. I will be 60 years old soon. I have seen almost everyone "worthwhile" since then. What's the point? Another "my dick is bigger than yours" thread like the tax one? I've seen Duke's band (while EKE was alive 20+ times). So what. I do understand the trouble with "aesthetics" if one has not heard the "living masters", but don't really understand the question otherwise. Shit be happnin', go find it and be able to post to a thread like this in your future.
