He's registered here. Perhaps he could post and explain his business model to us. Bertrand.

Happy birthday. Michael! Bertrand.

Actually, I was wondering about the rhythm section for the multi-tenor thing. Lonnie Smith is Lonnie Liston Smith (who is also on Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith aroung this time), not Dr. Lonnie before he got his PhD, correct? Bertrand.

I assume there was a rhythm section as well? Bertrand.

Brownie, So you also saw the Bobby Hutcherson/Harold Land concerts at Juan-Les-Pins? if so, you are a very lucky man. Bertrand.

Brownie, Had you already done the interview before Felice posted this? If not, I will say: 'Boy, that was fast'. Felice, Please tell us more about this book. Is it specifically on the lost quintet? I know of another book in the works on the previous quintet (the one that is fortunately not 'lost' at all). Although I never saw this band, perhaps there is some information I have uncovered in my research on Wayne Shorter that could be of use. I will try to find out more on professor Veal later, but I have to go out now to try to get some supplies for the approaching storm. I'm looking forward to hearing more. Bertrand.

The Wayne Shorter video on their website is stunning. Bertrand.

Can anyone recommend a DVD player that is region free and accepts PAL and NTSC? I want to buy something that plays all DVDs. My current player is on the fritz anyway, so I want to get something that can handle everything to replace it. Bertrand.

A Waldron bio is in the works. Bertrand.

How many Level 3s are allotted? Bertrand.

Not sure why you are selling these because you can't find the one title, but someone is offering the one you were looking for on your other thread (Claude, I think) for a reasonable price. Go for it, it's by far the best version of Cookin'. Bertrand.

The Hutcherson is back; I've been waiting forever. Ordered it yesterday. Bertrand.

I remember the thread but I wouldn't know how to find it. I can tell you that I'm 99% sure the track is an out-take from the session that yielded the first side of Ernie Henry's Last Chorus. One of the things I remember about the thread is how absurd it was that Keepnews claimed that Cannonball was immediately recognizable on the 'mystery' track, when in fact it is Ernie. Bertrand.

John L. on 1/14/08 posted a quote regarding a lost quartet session on 3/6/63. Do we know anything more about this? Bertrand.

Glad to hear that someone else likes this music as much as I do. Bertrand.

Mike, I'm very sorry to hear about this and I hope things start looking brighter for you soon. Bertrand.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier to save you a trip, but I think he's back in China. It's starting to tick me off, because now he's taking his sidemen with him. If you are near Utopia tonight, I highly recommend the Sarah Hughes quintet playing Mulligan/Konitz music. I won't be able to come due to early meetings tomorrow, but I highly recomend it. Last week's Ornette Coleman retrospective with 2 altos, tenor bass and drums was brilliant. Bertrand.

Probably music from Three Blind Mice, which was on UA. Bertrand.

OK, I think their sets were excellent. You are free to disagree. That's just what my ears tell me. Bertrand.

Those are the two extra tracks: 'The Intellect' by Moncur, and 'Plight' by Tolliver. They probably reordered the CD to keep the sets together by artist. I'll have to check the liner notes, it's possible the artists played in the CD order: Coltrane, then Shepp, then Tolliver, then Moncur (not sure where Ayler fit in, since his tune was dropped). The LP was probably sequenced to accomodate roughly the same amount of music on each side. Moncur and Tolliver's sets that night were brilliant, with Bobby Hutcherson a big asset in both cases. I just wish they had done more than two tunes each, but such was the nature of that particular concert. Bertrand.

'BTW, I don't think you should completely discount the fact that Redman's dad Dewey was friends with most of the judges. While I would hope that wasn't a deciding factor, I don't see how it could hurt Joshua if everything else was equal.' I don't think this is an accurate statement. The judges were Jackie McLean, Jimmy Heath, Frank Wess, Benny Carter and one more (possibly Branford Marsalis?). I have no reason to believe any of these gentlemen had anything against Dewey, but I don't think any of them hung out a lot with him, so I doubt this would have weighed strongly in their opinion. I was in the audience when Joshua won, and he just played better than anyone else that day. Since then, I have been more interested in Potter's work than that of the others. Bertrand.

It seems the CD of the New Wave In Jazz compilation on Impulse! has a different track order than the LP, probably to accomodate the bonus tracks. Can anyone confirm the LP track order below that I found on the web? Thanks, Bertrand. Nature Boy (John Coltrane) Holy Ghost (Albert Ayler) Blue Free (Grachan Moncur III) Hambone (Archie Shepp) Brilliant Corners (Charles Tolliver)

Now I feel bad about my crack in reference to his appearance at Amougies. I hope all the best for him and a speedy recovery. Bertrand.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Bertrand.

'What's the story here? Is Jarman out of the Ensemble again?' Mitchell and Moye told him he couldn't play with them again until he put some pants back on. Bertrand.
