I don't recall this one being in the blow-out sale... Bertrand.

A couple of days ago, I saw pop-ups about future titles by Andrew Hill and others; it sounded like the recent RVGs. There's still hope. I used a Borders' coupon plus a personal shopping day and got a bunch of RVGs for $8 each. Hardly worth waiting for yourmusic. I'll keep my membership until the end of the year, but if the inventory doesn't improve before then, I'll drop out. Bertrand.

Please do keep us posted, I'd be tempted to go sometimes. Do we know who's with him? He can get a little smooth for my taste, but when he plays straight ahead, he's a killer. Years ago, he did a retrospective of Wayne Shorter's Blue Note years at the Smithsonian. This gig is one of the things that got me curious about looking up copyrights at LC. Bertrand.

On the topic of Dewey, how many tracks of Jane Bunnett's Radio Guantanamo is he on? Thanks, Bertrand.

I've ignored the Hubbard CTI dates, mostly because I heard First Light and didn't like it (cheesy strings). How are Red Clay and Straight Life? Joe Henderson is on both, which makes them tempting. Any strings on these, or are they pretty much straight ahead? Thanks, Bertrand.

How many tracks does Dewey play on? Bertrand.

Has the McPartland been formally issued? Bertrand.

I assume the Mobley footage is AWOL? Bertrand.

If Joe Henderson was on Rosie, it would have been very near the end of his career. Any more details? Bertrand.

I put it in my netflix queue, but I may have to get this. Never heard Wayne play 'Love Supreme'. I got both the Santana/Shorter CD and DVD but have yet to spin them. Bertrand.

When is the Atlanta Jazz Festival? Sounds like a possible road trip. I guarantee you the Miles estate is getting a cut from Claude Nobs. Bertrand.

I strongly recommend the film Why Do Fools Fall In Love. It covers the life and death of Frankie Lymon. A fascinating, contradictory personality. The Platters singer is played by Halle Berry. The courtroom scene with Morris Levy is hilarious if you know anything about what a crook this guy was. Bertrand.

Is Wayne on the whole thing or just some tracks? Do he and Ravi play together at any point? Thanks, Bertrand.

Set 1 D Minor Mint One Of Another Kind Blue Spirits Birdlike Red Clay Set 2 Intrepid Fox Up Jumped Spring Jodo

I sent you a PM with my cell. Bertrand.

Do you mean they charge $10 plus a minimum or just the $10 minimum? That's my experience - no cover at all in the second set. Going to call in a few minutes to reserve. Bertrand.

I thought Kei Akagi was awful. I saw Miles for the last time at Wolf Trap, September 1989. His chops were totally shot, and Akagi did most of the solos. It was a very sad gig. I had seen Miles several times in the eighties, and he played great. Bertrand.

It's still looking very likely that I will be there Saturday with sometimes poster shadowhillway. I plan to reserve tonight. They told me that you can always stay for the second set with just another minimum. Is this true? I would hate to come up from DC and be kicked out after one set because so many people reserved ahead and I didn't. I've been to the club 3 times (Jackie Mac's last gigs in NYC in 2004, Joe Chambers and Grachan Moncur last year) and I've always been able to stay over. But this might be fuller because it's Freddie on a Saturday. On the other hand, Jackie's last NYC gigs should have been packed to the rafters - no comment. I saw Jackie at the VV on a Sunday in 1999. I had put my name down for the first set (you didn't have to pre-pay), but I hadn't thought of the second set. Fortunately, I had a 'connection' who convinced Lorraine Gordon to let me stay

From 82-87, I was studying Applied Math at Universite Paris Dauphine (#9 of 13 such schools). Our building was formerly some International Government Building (NATO or Unesco or something). The Math Department was small, the school is mostly known for Econ and Business. One morning in '85 or so, I get on the elevator and there's this REALLY good-looking blonde woman. I figured she was an Econ prof or something, and I was thinking 'Man, I should switch majors - they have some really hot teachers - this one looks like Farrah Fawcett, but better.' She smiled at me and pushed the button for me. Later, I see someone on the elevator who I immediately recognize as French actor Feodor Atkine. There's also an American guy on the elevator, so I ask him what's going on. Turns out they are making a TV movie about Nazi Hunter Beatte Klarsfeld (sp?) starring...Farrah Fawcett! It was her. They were using out builiding as a stand-in for NATO. Later, I saw it on TV. There's a scene where she is denouncing some Nazi in a big meeting. It was filmed in the amphitheatre where I used to take all my exams! Moral of the story: Farrah Fawcett was much better looking in public than on TV in her heyday. Bertrand.

'Jesse Jackson physically pushed me aside two times. Once in the '60s and once in the '80s'. Why? Did you berate him for not using the search function when he asked if there were any threads on organissimo about him

I hope to be there Saturday. Anyone else from organissimo going? I agree with Valerie. Bertrand.

Didn't the story on the other thread have Concord claiming they were not doing a wholesale delection of the Fantasy Catalog? It seems Chuck could list a bunch of titles that are gone. I can only spend so much on music; I can't try to grab all the Fantasy Titles I could possibly want in my life now because Concord is dumping them. Right now, I have zero interest in Lennie Niehaus. Will I feel differently in 10 years? Maybe. I know there will be times when I will look at the catalog and think 'man, I wish I'd gotten this back then', but I can't buy everything today because of that. We all know that the sale to Concord was going to lead to titles disappearing en masse. Don't need a crystal ball for that. At least, through the blow-out sale, I was able to grab a few things that had not previously come under my radar screen. If I find something else in the catalog and I can't get it through the normal channels, I know I can hear the music somehow by hook or by crook. Bertrand.

Will they be playing the unrecorded Monk tune 'Harlem Is Awful Messy'? How about 'A Merrier Christmas'? I won't even ask about 'Two Timer/Five Will Get You Ten'. Bertrand.

The grammar alone tips you off that it's an Andorran production! Bertrand.

I had just decided to go and Tom's recommendation sealed the deal. I was being facetious - I can tell he's no idiot like Coulter, although articles I found while googling show that he is very opinionated. Coulter is a special case of psychosis. I'm off in a minute - I'll report back. Bertrand.
