Who is the composer of this piece? Bertrand.

The check is in the mail. Bertrand.

Lucky Thompson's Happy Days is on the way as well. Bertrand.

Just got the Wilkerson in the mail (which went up to $3.99 BTW), and just ordered the Golson. Now I will go through my Fantasy catalog. I would spend more than this on lunch at work every day if I didn't pack my lunch Bertrand.

Since I stayed home sick from work today, I was planning to flip through my full-color Fantasy catalog and see if they're any titles on my wish list that you can get for cheap this way. There must be a more scientific method So you are saying that even if I combined two titles in one order, I still pay for shipping for each? Bertrand.

Jamil Nasser has a second son who is a trumpet player and lives in the D.C. area. I've met him a couple of times, but Stafan knows him much better than I do. I'm not sure about the spelling - Mounir? Bertrand.

I wonder when this was recorded. Bertrand.

Happy birthday! Bertrand.

Now that record stores are dead, I plan to patronize thier online store a lot. Their prices are good as is their service. Not quite sure why some items are not available at their store but only at Amazon. I sure wish they'd open a brick and mortar store in the D.C. area. Bertrand.

What was wrong about what I wrote? There was some coverage about the Austin thing, of course, but it was dwarfed by the Tiger crap. We still don't know who was the other victim in the crash, other than the a-hole who flew the plane. Bertrand.

I placed this order around 8 AM today, and it already shipped. Must be a record! Newbury rocks, as previously stated. Bertrand.

Who gives a fuck when there were people killed or injured by a domestic terrorist yesterday? The media need to get their priorities straight. Bertrand.

Is there more than one Riverside? Fantasy only re-issued one, and of course Concord nada. Bertrand.

Ordered - thanks for the tip. I've gotten 2 OOP OJC's from Newbury before. They rock. Bertrand.

I bought the entire Blue Note catalog from EMI last night for $1 while no one was looking. We will be issuing the unissued Shorter, Dorham and McLean sessions next month. All booklets will be throughly proof-read. Bertrand.

'Now don't ask me where that two-second difference comes from'. It's the pause track. Bertrand.

Yes, the Jazz Door incorrectly says Montreux. High-quality 'production' work there. Brownie, Is the Jazz Door the same concert as the official Sony (which I'd forgotten about) or the 'other night'? As for the INA video, Sony should have tried to release this years ago, although I know INA is a tough nut to crack. They also filmed Hutcherson/Land. Maybe Reelin' In The Years might be able to work something out now that INA is starting to loosen up? I still have a few years left to live. Bertrand.

1) The Miles is from Juan-Les-Pins, not Montreux (which is in Switzerland). Didn't know Chick recorded this; I assumed it was from French radio. We are assuming the recording is the CD in question (alocis did say 'French Riviera'). Sony was to supposed to put out a legitimate 2-CD set with the concerts from both nights a few years ago, but they are too fucked-up in their heads to realize that putting this out is a no-brainer. 2) Supposedly there is a 1-hour tape out there of Jimi and Larry, but it sounds horrible (or so I was told - I have tried to stay away to avoid being frustrated). The Jam was released on an LP called Nine To The Universe (legit or not?); didn't know about the CD. 'It's Too Bad' was in a Hendrix box, but wasn't it determined later that the organist was not Larry Young but some guy named Duane Hitchings? According to the link below, Hitchings co-wrote 'Do You Think I'm Sexy' with that ass-wipe Rod Stewart, which is a fucking joke considering that tune was an obvious rip-off of a Jorge Ben tune (there was a lawsuit but Jorge Ben inexplicably lost). http://www.jimihendrix.com/news/news,revelation.html Bertrand. P.S. I hate to be pedantic, but it's 'Montreux'. I hope I didn't offend any Rod Stewart fans out there any more than he offends me every time he opens his mouth.

Where would I find such a deal? Got Birdland '51 today for $8 at Borders'. Killer music. The first and third dates are perfectly acceptable sonically. There are some issues with the second date - there's a couple of long stretches of really annoying tape hiss, I'm not sure what it is exactly. Bertrand.

Great, now i have to buy TWO CDs, including a twofer Bertrand.

This is one of the few Miles CDs I do not have yet. It seems there are two versions out there: 1) A single CD set with the original LP + 4 bonus tracks 2) A 2-CD set with a second live CD, containing one track from Miles' Newport comeback plus other live tracks. Is the live CD worth it? I seem to remember there were audio-fidelity issues with the live stuff which made me want to stay away - same reason I avoided the '51 Birdland set on Blue Note. Thanks, Bertrand.

Thanks so much for this. So it now appears the lost quintet was still in existence as late as 1/17/70, and Airto had most likely joined permanently by the Ann Arbor gig (2/21/70). Tangentially, this is a rare occurrence of Wayne Shorter and Keith Jarrett playing together. Are there any other documented meetings? Perhaps I am forgetting the obvious. Bertrand.

Yes, there are Washington post reviews for both these shows that Mike found that confirm the dates. The second one is 1/12-17/70. Now I hope you can answer a key question: were both of these gigs the lost quintet, or was Airto on board for the one in 1970? The post review does not mention Airto in 1970 and does make a point of lisiting all the others and specifically commenting on the performance of each. I would lean towards thinking Airto was not there unless you remember otherwise. Edit: somehow missed the second half of your post. If you say usual group + Jarrett = sextet, that must mean no Airto. Did they specifically announce that Jarrett was there for that night only? The post review published on Wednesday 1/14/70 is of the opening night (Monday) as far as I can tell; Jarrett is not mentioned. Going out on a limb: do you happen to remember which of the 6 nights you were there (Monday-Saturday)? Bertrand.

Jack's first gigs could well be at Duffy's if these took place in the first weeks of March. There would still have been time for Jack to fly back to the U.S. after a 2/26 gig in Paris. So the lost quintet's first gig was probably at Duffy's in early March 1969. As for the last gigs, I had previously missed this: 'While larger groups were recording new compositions in the studio, the Davis Quintet (and, after the addition of Airto Moreira in mid-December, the Sextet) was booked at several venues on the east coast: Colonial Tavern, Toronto (December 2-9: Sonny Greenwich is alleged to have joined the Quintet on at least one of these nights!); Village Gate, New York (December 12-13, 19-20, January 2-3, 6-10); Cellar Door, Washington (January 12-17); Spectrum, Philadelphia (January 18).' Mid-December seems to imply that Airto joined the band either for the first or second December gig at the Village Gate. So the band ended in early December 1969. So this band probably lasted about 9 months, from early March to early December 1969. There is no evidence that they played any gigs at all in either 1968 or 1970. Bertrand. P.S. But did Airto really join as early as mid-December? If not, the above falls apart.

Exactly what I thought when I first saw it. I tried to get more details from Wayne through Michelle Mercer when I put together the appendix to the paperback edition of the Wayne bio, but nothing came out of this. Bertrand.
