WPI’s Jazz History Database kicks off a hot listening session Thursday September 2 on Zoom 3pm Ornette Coleman at Slugs 1971 (JHDB From the Lab) passim King Perry 78s with Bobby Bradford 7:00 Abbey Lincoln singing and talking https://wpi.zoom.us/j/97495476280 [more options below] All Times are Eastern (EDT) All are welcome to join any time. Details: From the Lab (JHDB) 3:00pm to 7pm At the brink of his 1971 Science Fiction recording sessions (and a major pivot in his working method) alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman’s sextet played a weekend at Slugs Saloon in the East Village. We mark the 50th anniversary of all these events with some rare sounds from those performances. If the sages favor us, our session will be joined by the surviving musician from that engagement, trumpeter Bobby Bradford… the icing on an already great cake! Along the way we’ll take the opportunity to play and reflect on Bradford’s first recordings session, from nearly 20 years earlier in the band of King Perry. (We’ll also tip a cap to Worcester’s Jazz history with some music Bradford made 40 years ago here in town) 7:00pm to 9pm We hear vocalist Abbey Lincoln in some timeless classics of her career and also in interview narration about those music-making episodes. Drop in any time, and pass the word to a friend. More Zoom connections: Ben Young is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Fascinating. I read the article in which Jackie said Connors ruined the date. And now he says he never heard it. And Cuscuna said Wayne said that his session was a disaster and blamed Duke Pearson. Yet, when I was trying to find out what the pieces on the session were for Michelle Mercer's book, Wayne told her that he had never heard it either. Interesting parallel.

Thank you for posting this! Irene is a wonderful artist and a good friend of mine. I got her a couple of gigs in the DC area and catch her when I can. I contributed towards this project. Looking forward to hearing it!

Certain releases get an extra dose of hype...

Yes, the Jazzology ones. I am thinking of the Sonny Stitt/Sadik Hakim.

Oh, good, so the CDs won't get scratched being right next to each other. The bottom photos almost made it look like two CDs are in one pocket. Thanks!

I am very glad this came out and I am looking forward to getting it very soon. Sorry to be a bit negative, but I for one am already done with all the media hoopla. What exactly is the discovery here? We knew this was great music back when they released the 3-CD set, and that package added a lot to the original 2-LP set, if only for all the extra Bennie Maupin compositions. But this set has no additional compositions, just additional takes. A dream in any case for Morgan fans and fans of great music in general, but ultimately, there is no real discovery. All the takes could have been released years ago. One Blue Note manager just over-ruled a decision made by a previous Blue Note manager. Oh, so two CDs are together? Is it one to the left and one to the right or are they right next to each other? Looking at the case that is opened up, it look like there is only one opening on the right and both CDs are in there.

So it is about 4-CD jewel cases wide? I guess the CDs are in slim cases?

I am eyeing a title on Progressive records. I have at least one CD on that label that is a real CD. Am I dreaming or did it come up later that they are now making CDrs only? Maybe that was VSOP. So, simple question: has anyone bought a Progressive CD that was a CDr or am I safe? Thanks! Bertrand.

Staying out of the wrong hands. LOL. I will get it at soon as I get confirmation there are no pitch correction issues. Think Palo Alto.

I plan to get this in a couple of weeks after I make it through some backlog. I have a question about the packaging - is this the size of multiple CD jewel cases (how many roughly?) like the previous 3-CD set or is it a big-ass Mosaic-style box? I want to figure out if it can fit on my CD shelves or I have to plan to keep it with the Mosaic boxes. Thanks!

Is it possible the song titles were jumbled rather than the running order?

I will get this, but definitely keep us posted on your guesses!

Offering is the one from Temple?

Quick post, don't have much time. Check out my post in the live shows forum about the Worcester Hot Club This MAY be a rare chance to hear the 1961 Messengers gig with Shorter and Dorham. Not 100% sure that is what is being played. Also Andrew Hill and Rahsaan in the mix.

WPI’s Jazz History Database kicks off a hot listening session Thursday August 19 on Zoom: 3pm more Newport news: Rahsaan, Getz, and Art Blakey (JHDB From the Lab) 5:30 Dinner music – appetizers for tonight’s session on the Delta/Memphis blues. 6:30 Worcester Hot Club session on the Delta/Memphis blues, with Rick Hendra. 8:00 A little exit music, from Memphis. https://wpi.zoom.us/j/97495476280 [more options below] All Times are Eastern (EDT) All are welcome to join any time. Details: From the Lab (JHDB) 3pm to 5:30 More historic Newport Jazz sounds. We’ll focus on a wrinkle in the festival’s history, the transitional years of 1961 and 62, for sets played by Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Stan Getz, and The Jazz Messengers. Among the starring sidemen are Roy Haynes, Andrew Hill, Scotty LaFaro—and is that Wayne Shorter? 5:30pm to 8+ This week’s session on the Delta/Memphis blues is the 4th episode in Hendra’s Zoomentary-in-the-making, The Story Of The Blues, which is the story of the Great Migration set to music and pictured in some detail (the Zoom advantage). We’ve already broadcast the previous three sessions on the classic vaudeville blues, the Piedmont Blues, and 40’s Jump Blues/R&B here on Thursday's Jazz Potpourri. The fifth and final episode, on the Chicago Blues, will air right here again in September. Drop in any time, and pass the word to a friend.

They may be able to improve it sonically also. The old version is 20 years old or more, right? The last gig at Left Bank was 'most likely' not recorded. I am talking to the guy who would have recorded it (in lieu of Vernon Welsh) but he was assigned to take photos. Can't do both I guess. Maybe Coltrane asked for no recording, but that is strictly speculative.

Is the Olatunji CD really unlistenable?

Tell me more about the 1965 live date with Shepp...

I thought it was coming out on Friday? Their coupons are usually only for in-stock items.

The Argo date I would like to see on CD is Thornel Schwartz's Soul Cookin' with Larry Young (under the pseudonym Lawrence Olds).

Only 15 minutes extra? Hopefully I can find a friend to hook me up...

How do we get the word out to them that Young Men From Memphis has an extra track? The mono take of Things Ain't What... is DIFFERENT than the stereo take. Ben Young discovered this...

I thought it was a whole week...
