When I tried to place an order, I got the following message after putting in my credit card info: 'Your order was NOT accepted by the credit card processor Reason: Could not execute curl' Any ideas? Bertrand.

A belated happy birthday to a wonderful guy and musician. Bertrand.

'that´s where Dexter made his last studio recording in 1982'. I do not really agree with this statement. There are two further studio recordings: 1) The music from the film 'Round Midnight was recorded in the studio in Paris in July and August of 1985. 2) He recorded two tracks with Tony Bennett in 1987 - these seem to be his last studio recordings. Does anyone know when Dexter last performed live? I'm pretty sure he was at Blues Alley in D.C. in the mid-eighties. Sounds like a topic for the new Dexter forum! Bertrand.

1) Dewey appears on the tracks 'Doo-Bop', 'Oasis' and 'Caribe' on Tom Harrell's 1997 album 'The Art Of Rhythm'. For those who have this CD, Dewey does not appear on the other tracks, correct? 2) He also appears on a CD by John Ballantyne (not familiar with him). Which tracks does Dewey appear on? Thanks, Bertrand.

Wonderful news! Bertrand.

Can someone correct the typo in the thread title please? It should say 'Booby' not 'Bobby'

'We also learn that Morgan was legally married once to Kiko Morgan and now we know who is probably getting his royalty checks'. McMillan's book is indeed excellent, but that particular item is hardly new information - I've known this for 15 years. He and Kiko split up but never divorced, so indeed she is the legal heir. Helen More/Morgan is often referred to as Lee's common-law wife, but that is just plain wrong. It is a misunderstanding Lee did nothing to correct and may have had a part in propagating. In particular, Jimmy had Lee's copies of his own records, and they had 'property of Lee and Helen Morgan' written on the jackets. Bertrand.

I wonder if the mistake in separating tracks on One Step Beyond will be corrected for this edition. Was it corrected in the Moncur Mosaic? Bertrand.

They need to reissue the complete Mobley sessions, dammit! Bertrand.

He is in the second edition. Don't know about the first. Bertrand.

Always good to remember Long Tall Dexter and Woody Shaw - they left this world a far better place with their wonderful music. Bertrand.

A copyright deposit for 'A.S.I.A.' exists at the Library of Congress in the Gigi Gryce collection that I put together. Someone would need to talk to Don Sickler about getting it performed, as he is the publisher. Bertrand.

Chuck is alluding to a discussion on a thread regarding Gil Melle CDRs that were available on Amazon. Did we ever establish that this was sanctioned by Blue Note? Bertrand.

How is the Cecil McBee CD? Bertrand.

Chuck is right and it is very depressing. Bertrand.

'So I think it should be clear now that Ted Efantis didn't play with Fielding' Not at all - you've proven nothing. Ted told me he's on the record, Bonnie (who knew them both) has stated in this very thread that it is Ted, and your only evidence is the liner notes on a Spanish bootleg? Bertrand.

It looks like free shipping for 2+ CDs - nice offer. How long is this going on? I need to order some stuff. I can't recommend the latest Ben Allison CD enough. I love that record. Bertrand.

Also, Ted remembers that Leroy Vinegar is on some of this session, not just P.C. This needs to be independently verified, of course. Bertrand.

This is how discographical errors get propagated and copied as if they were gospel into such alleged 'definitive' reference sources as Lord's discography. Ted Efantis is a real person and plays every Friday at Columbia Station in D.C. with Butch Warren. He used to date Miss Fielding, and is on the recording in question, which both he and Bonnie have confirmed. There is no logical reason to dispute this claim. Bertrand.

Which came first - the Ernest Hemingway or the Herbie Mann?

Googling Dan Skea, I found out: 1) He moved from Vegas to Vermont and is actively playing and recording (CDs on CD Baby) 2) I found this article: http://www.seanemulholland.com/brian/BlueNotePaper.pdf which mentions this board, as well as the legendary Lee Morgan/Webster Young/Evolution thread. Interesting. Bertrand.

His name is Dan Skea. I was in touch with him and gave him a little bit of info, but we lost touch. He never migrated over from the BNBB. Bertrand.

I will be at Carnegie Hall on 12/2 for the Wayne Shorter gig. Is there anything going on afterwards in the clubs other than the 'major' ones? The only thing I saw at the 'major' ones is Grant Stewart at Smalls'. If there is nothing else in some off-beat place I'm not familiar with, that's where I will go. Thanks, Bertrand.

Jackie McLean might

I did go on Friday and Saturday. It was fantastic. Particularly good were the Gigi Gryce/Clifford Brown talks and Lewis Porter's talk. On Saturday, there was a panel with Jimmy Heath, Lou Donaldson and Benny Golson, three musicians who actually recorded with Brownie. There was a also a panel with family members, and several showings of a great new documentary on Brownie by Don Glanden who organized the conference. Particularly hilarious moment: Heath telling one of the two others about how killing the Roach/Brown Beehive set is, and when the other said he didn't have it, Jimmy said: 'I'll burn you a copy'. Coming in on Halloween day was a fucking nightmare. They had the parade for the World Series, and Broad street was packed - 2 million people. It took me an hour to cross from the West side of the street to the East side. And the cops weren't doing shit. It's amazing no one died that day - everyone was getting crushed. I snuck in through a back door of the building. Bertrand.
