My deepest condolences to you and your daughters. Sincerely, Bertrand.

Daedalus books has been getting a lot of Fantasy cut-outs. I bought eight this month. You can order from them, but their website does not list everything. I could try to make a list next time I go there and post it here. Usually I stop in on my way to Baltimore for a gig so I may not have time, but maybe I could make a special trip on Thanksgiving w/e. My idea is I would post a list and people could then call them and order. I would have to talk to the store to see how to work it when it is not an item on their website. Maybe I will make a separate thread. Some things I think they have that are I think are hard to find includes Lee Morgan's Take Twelve, Jenkins/Jordan/Timmons and Walter Bishop Trio. No sign of the Gryces, but it could still happen... Bertrand.

Leeway, Wasn't that concert at LC fabulous? All new music! Sorry I didn't catch you after the gig. I was trying to make some contacts for a concert series I'm trying to make happen. Bertrand.

This is known to exist (I am not providing a link to a boot or anything, just a pseudo-discographical listing): Which part is the 21-minute Young/Hendrix? Bertrand. 1 13:46 2 8:19 3 1:59 4 9:23 5 7:19 6 5:26 7 World Traveler 5:56 [left channel dips from 3:30] 8 World Traveler (Reprise) 2:01 9 My Brother's Dead 10:20 10 Livin' At the Burwood 10:10 Total Time: 74:43 Jimi Hendrix - guitar Larry Young - organ Billy Cox - bass Mitch Mitchell - drums

I thought there was at least one hour of Hendrix/Young stuff, albeit in poor sound quality. I was assuming the 20 minute excerpt was part of a better quality version of this material that has not circulated. I could well be wrong. Bertrand.

Great, thanks. So for now I have it as a download. When they finally put out the complete Hendrix/Young 6-CD box (which is inevitable), then I will get that. By then, the tune will be 70-minutes long. This is just an appetizer. Bertrand.

Just bought the track with Larry Young as an Amazon MP3. This is the only track with Larry Young in this set, correct? Are we sure the earlier version was an edit, or just a different take? I plan to compare, but it won't be easy. Bertrand.

The title 'Duke of Sidewinder' will be quickly revoked when the royal family finds out the tune you were named after was written in ten minutes by its composer while he was sitting on the crapper (per Jeff McMillan's bio). Bertrand.

This one makes me say 'uhhhh'. Bertrand.

Aren't we missing an umlaut or two? I've just got the one so I can't spare it. Bertrand.

Scroll down fast while looking at this one! Bertrand.

So this guy is probably 'smooth jazz'. Now if anyone could con Kenny G. out of his collection of horns... Bertrand.

Then I would call my friend Don Sickler in New York: Find out what tunes Blue Notes publishing company registered within 14 days after April 14, 1966. Hed come back and say, A Lamont Johnson tune, a Mickey Bass tune, two Woody Shaw tunes, and three Jackie McLean tunes. Now I knew what the tunes were and who some of the musicians were. Then Id send cassettes out to Jackie and to each of the musicians, and little by little wed be able to identify the tunes and the sidemen, but it was a really painstaking process. Back in the 70s it was almost impossible to access the lead sheets for these copyright deposits. Things loosened up later, though, and roughly between 1993 and 2008, I was able to access a good number of lead sheets for the very tunes that were on all these sesssions that Michael was trying to piece together. Bertrand.

Is the CD era officially over Bertrand.

I finally got a DVD player which will allegedly have no issues with regions etc. So I want to buy the Jackie McLean Chat Qui Peche video. How do I proceed? Has anyone bough this one? Thanks, Bertrand,

I should sue Rudd for naming a record after me without my consent. Bertrand.

This is about to be issued on Fresh Sound or Lonehill or one of those. Bertrand.

Um, what exactly where you looking for when you came upon this That tune kinda sounds like Tony's 80s quintet, but I don't think it's them. A few bits remind me of 'Only With You'. Bertrand.

Thanks. That makes more sense. Brad was the announcer. Chris and Brad are actually performing octet arrangements of Freddie's music this w/e at Smalls'. Sacha Perry is on piano. Bertrand.

He died of an asthma attack. A wonderful pianist and a fine composer as well. He will be sorely missed. Bertrand.

Hardbopjazz, Are you sure you saw him with Curtis Lundy? At what venue was that? I was under the impression he had not played with this group before. He has been doing gigs in D.C. and NYC with saxophonist Brad Linde. Could that be the group you saw at Dizzy's, Smalls' or Birdland? Bertrand.

One more chance to catch Freddie Redd in the DC/Baltimore area tomorrow night. He will be at the Cyclops bookstore at 8:00 PM with Curtis Lundy, Eric Kennedy and special guest Tim Green. The address is 30 West North Avenue (corner of Maryland Avenue). Bertrand. P.S. I have no financial interest in this gig.

I wonder what tunes they played. Bertrand.

Odd - most of these tracks are from the Swedish sessions, but there are four I do not know: Guessin' Tunnelbanan Duo Ohio I wonder where these tracks are from? Bertrand.

I left off a smiley. Bertrand.
