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.

Ellen Brooks was the one who stabbed or shot him?

I agree, they had some great concerts there. A real shame. In a normal world, it would have been a great place to put on concerts related to whatever goodies might be found in the Wayne Shorter Archive once it is cataloged. Kevin had a good rapport with Wayne and Carolina and brought him there several times. I will have to find another venue...

I heard the Harold Vick tune Our Miss Brooks at a gig on Friday. Could it have been written for Tina? Vick declines to comment on the title in the liner notes. Of course it was also a radio then TV show with Eve Arden. I always liked her. I would like to see the show.

I am very excited about the news and hope to visit as soon as it is ready, hopefully I can do so on a weekend. Sheet music will probably only be viewable onsite. There is also material at the Library of Congress which I made them bring in from copyright 30 years ago. I had sent Wayne copies of all of it, I wonder if what I sent him will wind up at NYPL! I am very curious about a number of unknown pieces, including Mass '65. One piece that was not at LC was his very first composition, La Vie Et La Mort, intended for two organs but eventually played on solo piano. I hope NYPL will have it. I attended the lecture where this blog post was presented. The presenter did not address where the material came from, but I suspect he thought the Library had somehow acquired it.

Alto sax Erena Terakubo at Takoma Station in DC - fabulous! She just started teaching at Michigan State in East Lansing so maybe she will team up with Jim and the cats from Organissimo!

Same guy who recorded Hassan.

Is it too late to tell Blue Note?

That session with Cannonball exists?

What the hell is that??? Is it real? FM records had a motto: 'no static at all'.

Never noticed that! Did Blue Note try to sign Dolphy away? So FM records is Kay and Kameron, but the name Fred Miles also pops up. What a mess.

Not familiar with this label at all. So what label did Iron Man come out on? Blue Note had to ask permission for Out To Lunch?

Really? What is FM records?
