Three of the four tracks on the second LP of Cosmos, those recorded 7/21/70, were bonus tracks on the CD version of Asante. And the entire Cosmos 2-LP set was released in Japan. Another orphan session is the Elvin Jones date with Lee Morgan. That was in the Elvin Jones Mosaic only, and also in Japan as part of a reissue of the 2-LP Prime Element set. The 5 other tracks from Cosmos should come out as a US CD. Not raising my hopes. Bertrand.

Joe, thanks! Do you know anything about this list of titles that were never, ever going to come out on CD which allegedly circulated in the Blue Note Offices in the 90s?

People who were not born when Fantasy/OJC was reissuing this material on CD for the first time. Or, more specifically, the subset of that group that still collects CDs as opposed to collecting vinyl or downloads, or just listening on YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp, etc. Both those people.

So my friend who I thought interviewed Tyrone said it fell through due to a logistics issue I will not get into. However, there is s chapter on Tyrone and Woody Shaw in Barbara Kukla's book America's Music: Jazz in Newark (2015) and there are a few quotes from Tyrone so she talked to him at least briefly.

I know two people who did get to interview him in the last 15 years or so, so he is not refusing to talk about his career. I believe he attended Howard University right here in DC.

I wondered about that too. Maybe he only played the Montreal dates and not NYU which is why it sounds like Garnett on that date. The guy to ask is Tyrone himself!

This is similar to the reply I got from Strata-East but I was told my wish list was being forwarded so that is promising. The Blue Note reissues now are almost exclusively vinyl.

I think that pretty much proves it. Blakey certainly announced his name. Not we have to wonder how Tyrone got in at all and why his stay was so brief. I assume this was after his tenure with Horace Silver but we know that was brief because Horace was dissatisfied with his outside playing. Bertrand.

Great! So now we have something in print mentioning Tyrone's presence. But does it say he appeared or is scheduled to appear? Is it after the fact? It does sound like Tyrone was briefly in the band. I don't think the unidentified piece at Rutgers is Taurus Woman but I need to do more listening.

Taurus Woman is also on the Roy Brooks Left Bank Understanding CD.

It has to be Garnett then. This tune would not have been in the repertoire before Carlos joined since it is his tune. Remains the mystery of why Tyrone was credited. Could it be an error in the Coda review? I thought it might be that tune since it was also the mystery tune on a Blakey Newport recording with Shaw/Garnett/Cables I had bought at Wolfgang's Vault. I think we figured it out on this forum, perhaps someone can find the thread. All in a day's work for the Organissimo Jazz detectives!

It's not Taurus Woman, I assume?

Which tape are you referring to? The one from March from the Loeb center? Rutgers is from April and by then it was definitely Carlos. If Tyrone was there at all, it was briefly in March. Billy Harper was before that. So Carlos replaced either Billy or Tyrone.

I posted on Facebook and tagged George Cables. He does not remrmber.

Yes, 3/20, dumb typo. I wonder how Tyrone's name got in the mix. I am also curious as to what the Untitled piece is.
