You know, Clark and Dolphy would've made a pretty interesting team ca. 1960.

I like those too. Points to anyone who has copies that aren't promos or cutouts.

Huh, 0-2 on that quote. I should go more in-depth with this pretty strong claim with a new thread, but IMO the level of rigor involved in a lot of jazz writing with regards to fact and accuracy is very poor indeed when compared to rock crit. This is of course a very complicated thing, too, as this thread shows but reading jazz books after a lifetime of reading about rock I was dismayed by the umpteen times I saw the same hearsay fabrications passed off again and again across literally dozens of books. To Marcello: fair enough, but it's still not something most anybody would immediately associate with Miles, and especially not in the late '50s.

Speaking of Blakey and Bixing, what is the actual context of this quote which is widely circulated as "the only way the white man can swing is from a rope"? Because I was flabbergasted to read it as "the only way [Paul] Whiteman can swing is from a rope" in a Giddins book. If the latter is the correct quote it's pretty amazing that it was so widely and incorrectly cited the way it was. A real disservice to Bu. Kind of related, kind of not: there is a terrible book around about Miles and Trane that hilariously, erroneously and insistently claims MD was widely known as "the Chief". At first I was perplexed, then annoyed, but after a while it just became funny.

If I had one it'd be "Oleo".

That's the reputation I've heard for Follies. The blog Destination:Out has it for official download so I may yet check that out. I've also questioned whether or not Futurities Vol. 1 even exists on CD! Nice grab. Tips is a winner.

You're not lying about that score! Any others?

Here's what I gleaned: Werner Uehlinger paid Max Roach alone for the album with the agreement that he would compensate Archie Shepp at his discretion, and that Hat was not obligated to compensate Archie. Archie demanded half from Max and Max said no way. Archie sued Werner and Werner brought Max into the suit as a third party. Archie argued that since Werner hadn't worked out pay for him he should never have put the record out to begin with. So basically, this was a contractual dispute. A jury found that Werner was in the right and Max appealed. The judge upheld the decision.

Also, while this thread is up I was listening to an interview with Gerry Hemingway and he mentioned that Werner Uehlinger is in possession of a great tape of three nights by the classic quartet in London ca 1993. Doubtful they'll come out but it would be nice!

There was something on Facebook about problems with the flacs that were eventually resolved. Maybe try downloading again.

^ I like that one, and yet always come away feeling like it could be more.

PM on Gryce Uptown

They remove the audio once the records are released.

I was underwhelmed by her record. She's got something going on lord knows, but I don't think she's quite hit on it yet. But I'll listen more.

No clue. I use Google, too FWIW I plan to send a message along to John Corbett with some queries and recommendations. I will post the reply if I get one.

I mentioned these in the Hat Hut thread. They are also planning more McPhees and Philip Wilson's Esoteric. Here's hoping for even more ... Baikida Carroll's The Spoken Word would be awesome.

Found this one for $2 at an antique shop! A little beat up but still.

Can't wait! Will we see FF this year?

I moved from Iowa to Louisiana in August in a non-temp controlled ABF trailer. The day we unloaded it was 105 degrees. Records were fine. Honestly I'd worry more about a car b/c of the direct sunlight. FWIW I moved with about 600 LPs.

His Grammavision work is fine, though OOP. Try Impala and Gallery. Zaki on Hat Hut is good. Heavy Spirits on Arista and Shine on Novus are good LP sides. Buster Bee with Julius Hemphill on Sackville is classic. The Prophet on Black Saint, too. So yeah, thumbs up on OL from me!

I had several of the Beatles ones, but that's about it.

Just want to make sure people realize, as Clifford noted, that the disc I posted is a legit Japanese issue. What this means as far as origin, I don't know. I'm not familiar with how Japanese CDs are sourced.

There's been much talk around here about how this date has never been on CD, and about various Andorran sets that include it, but now here it is, as official as its ever gonna get: http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=ddq2v7shwz&ref=featured.php&refQ=cat%3D5
