Planning on Lovano and Pelt but way too early to buy tickets. I will also go to the Cookers if I am in town. Bummed that I already have a ticket for something else on 11/12. Would have liked to see the Army Blues. I worked with them on a Herbie Nichols Big Band project. But a lady I know said she got a ticket for a gig on 11/12. Any pseudo-date works for me as dating is going nowhere.

Is there a paperback?

Why are you always picking fights with me? I'm not making this up. I'm done with this Board. Bye everyone.

When did the previous release come out? If it was before 2003, the discussion would have been on the Blue Note board. I know I am not dreaming. I was waiting for a second, corrected pressing but the set went OOP real fast. Speaking of that, whatever happened with the Kenny Dorham Brooklyn set? Did Resonance ever admit there was a problem?

It was definitely discussed at the time, possibly here. I did not make it up, especially the part about the CDr replacement.

Why do these press releases always downplay the CD reissue as if they were embarrassed by them?

I remember that now. I never got the US box set because, IIRC, one of the CDs was defective on all copies and rather than repress it, Sony just sent people CDrs which I thought was pathetic. I assume this will be a new pressing, but will wait a bit to see for sure. I have the highlights, and an earlier single CD called Cookin' at the Plugged Nickel. I also downloaded the entire set for free from my Public Library, a service called Freegal. I believe it is technically legal, it is a subscription system they pay into. The labels are OK with it, especially Sony, although I doubt the Artists would be if they knew. I got a lot of out of print recordings this way, and also bought quite a few after as physical CDs because I liked them so much.

What edits are you referring to?

Thanks. The new fad is for press releases to only mention the LPs.

No CD???

Does Wayne Shorter play on all of Man-Child, or just one track?

Noal Cohen has updated his discography with new info regarding this session, much of which was helpfully provided by Joe Harley: Tina Brooks Discography - Noal Cohen's Jazz History Website The three new tracks with Tina are great! Note that, curiously, the 6 extra songs differ from the info that was shared in the very first post in this thread. In the spirit of revisiting dates with Tina Brooks, it seems there could be extra material to be considered for the following sessions (Tina may not be on all tracks): The Sermon 2/25/58 (3 songs) Cool Blues 4/7/58 (7 songs) Back To The Tracks 10/20/60 (1 song) Could there be enough for a Jimmy Smith/Tina Brooks out-takes CD? Will purists accuse Blue Note of scraping the bottom of the barrel? The three new tracks with Tina are great, just got my mind blown by his solo on Hackensack/Lady Be Good.

You want to puke? For some unfathomable reason, she was chosen to 'play' Abbey Lincoln in a recreation of Max Roach's We Insist. Nasheet Waits was leading the band, maybe he just did not know. An insult to Abbey's memory and everything she and Max fought for. Several us boycotted the gig.

My friends at work kindly gave me a gift certificate for KC. I still have $65 left on it, no idea how I will use it, except the gift shop may have some CDs. I attended the April Jason Moran and friends concert. Great lineup on paper but somewhat underwhelming, I felt it did not quite gel. I saw a couple of things that I was surprised were able to go through: 1) Sun Ra Arkestra when Marshall Allen was receiving his Jazz Masters award in April. I have never sung along to 'Space Is The Place' with more glee. 2) Fay Victor's Herbie Nichols SUNG in May. Fantastic project, but definitely 'left of center'. My last visit there was a free event for the DC Jazz Festival. There was some unpleasantness on the shuttle bus on the way over which I cannot discuss here per forum rules.

They made a CD together, The More I See You.
