I was wondering why it had been so long since the last issue. Has there been another issue since the one with Zorn on the cover? Bertrand.

But the best track from this period, 'Portia', is missing from this collection. I saw Miles a few times during this period. The September '86 gig in Paris was incredible. Bertrand.

Thanks for the warning, Cali, I'll stay away. Bertrand.

Why the fuck do the media need to report this fact? They could have just said 'the death seemed to be accidental' and left it at that. The internet would have spread the word anyway. Not that we really need to know. In general, when a 'celebrity' dies, why do some people feel they are entitled to know the cause of death? What if it is something embarrassing (as is the case here)? It just adds to the family's grief. Bertrand.

You cannot make copies of the recordings at LoC, that goes without saying. It's annoying to me that I occasionally mention these things here, and invariably someone starts asking about copies or PMs me. One time, someone was berating me because they knew someone who had successfully made copies and was suggesting I was a wimp for not doing the same. I've been going there for years, they've earned my trust, does this dude really think I'd throw that all away??? I'm sorry if someone felt the staff was overbearing, but I can assure you they did not interrupt because they did not trust them. Bertrand.

Yes, the Soothsayer thing was a fiasco. I decided to wait for the RVG to repurchase it, and I still hear some shrill parts (esp. on 'Lady Day'). Definitely improvement, but some of the problems must be in the master tape. Bertrand.

Are we talking about youmustbe? He was banned? When did that happen? Long overdue. Someone PM me the details please. After all the horrible crap he posted, I'm curious to see what it is that earned him a removal. Bertrand.

You can find a listing for a lot of interesting things they have on the SONIC database on the loc.gov website. I listened to a Dewey Redman quintet set from 1974 last week; mostly material from Ear Of The Behearer. Bertrand.

Why are 'Maids Of Cadiz' and "Teo' on the second CD of Sketches Of Spain? Bertrand.

Looked it up at CD Universe. RVG Volume 1 Fire Waltz Bee Vamp The Prophet Bee Vamp (alternate take) RVG Volume 2 Agression Like Someone In Love Number Eight (Potsa Lotsa) Booker's Waltz So 'Status Seeking' and 'God Bless The Child' are missing. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Bertrand.

Below is what jazzdisco.org has to say on this session. I believe all of this was in the Dolphy box. 1) Are there any tracks from this date that are usable that were not in the box? 2) Which tunes are not on the two volumes of the RVG? I'll check track listings later at CD universe. Bertrand. Booker Little (tp -1,2,4/11) Eric Dolphy (as, bcl, fl) Mal Waldron (p -1,2,4/11) Richard Davis (b -1,2,4/11) Ed Blackwell (d -1,2,4/11) "Five Spot Cafe", NYC, July 16, 1961 1. 3146 warming up and tuning Prestige rejected 2. 3147 Status Seeking Prestige PR 7382 3. 3148 God Bless' The Child - 4. 3149 Aggression Prestige PRLP 7294, P 34002 5. 3150 Like Someone In Love - 6. 3151 Fire Waltz New Jazz NJLP 8260; Prestige P 34002 7. 3152 Bee Vamp - 8. - Bee Vamp (alt. take) Prestige PR 24046, MPP 2517; Fantasy OJCCD 133-2 9. 3153 The Prophet New Jazz NJLP 8260; Prestige P 34002 10. 3154 Number Eight (Potsa Lotsa) Prestige PR 7334, P 34002 11. 3155 Booker's Waltz -

But there will still be a couple of orphan tracks, correct? I believe a solo 'God Bless The Child' is one of them. Bertrand.

What's also hilarious is that now the Vanguard makes a point of NOT serving food, or even coffee. They don't have a kitchen. Bertrand.

Kahn told me this should be ready by early 2010. Bertrand.

The Japanese CD of Sonny Stitt sits in with the Oscar Peterson Trio has 3 bonus tracks from 10/10/57. Anyone know the personnel on this? Jazzdisco.org seems to know nothing about this. Thanks, Bertrand.

No, the list of Nichols titles was in a trunk at his father's place which was later destroyed by a flood. I think the trunk contained some music as well. I believe the list was salvaged, and Roswell Rudd must have a copy. I would love to see this list to see how it differs from what was sent in for copyright. There are some tunes that are known which were not copyrighted. You can find the list of what was copyrighted at www.loc.gov; click on 'library catalogs', then do a 'basic search' by call number with the call number M1356.2 Bertrand.

Have a great one! Bertrand.

Actually something from the same tour (this one in Paris) popped up on youtube. The quality is much better. Can Reelin' In The Years put this stuff out? Bertrand.

It seems she can no longer play or compose, which is really a shame. Bertrand.

Groening is also one of Mosaic's best customers, I read somewhere. Bertrand.

Thank you, gentlemen, for rescuing this thread from the crapper.

'Chestnut roasting on an open fire'.

To believe an accusation like that, I would need a lot more than one source. This same source has proven to be sprouting BS in the past. Bertrand.

Another thread flushed down the crapper.

'I saw Don recently at a Blue Note event and he was as charming as ever'.
