Toronto is one of my radar, and also Zoom Club 1972 and Hyde Park 1969. Marquee 1969 was tempting but the reviews say the sound is awful. The ones available on the DGM site are pressed CDs? Japanese reissues seem to be a different series entirely. Bertrand. Asbury Park has some overlap with USA, but more tracks, correct?

I have never bought any of these but am eyeing a couple. 1) Are they real CDs or CDrs? 2) I know some sound terrible. Are there any to avoid at all costs? Are there any that are essential?

I have the privilege of knowing Joe personally, we talk on the phone periodically although it has been a little bit. I always pick his brain a little on all the history, he is one of the last eyewitnesses to the Golden era of Blue Note. One of my all-time favorite composers. It is amazing that this seems so overlooked. His music is brilliant. Joe would love to get back out there gigging, but a challenge these days of course. He turns 80 in June. We have talked about doing an oral history of some sort. I would need help setting this up, especially in terms of equipment. Bertrand. That record changed my life.

They tried to bring this band to Left Bank Jazz Society on 9/28/69 (with Richard Davis) but in the end Richard Williams filled in for Thad. A recording of part of this concert exists.

Ronnie also had an unholy alliance with Doug and Dinsdale Piranha which proved to be his undoing.

Which Beatles record?

Was she drunk when she recorded this? There is no other possible explanation.

I started looking, not a whole lot there.

Someone asked and they are claiming no one was buying the downloads and it was costing them too much, I don't buy it. Any suggestions on what I can do with my $240 credit between now and December?

How many labels out there that are still active and older than Blue Note?

That song is the pits.

Just picked up this release. Junior Cook really does shine, in particular because he picks up the bulk of the soloing. My ears only hear Woody Shaw on 3 tracks: 1 and 3 on CD1, and 2 on CD2. He was a full-fledged member, not an add-on for this gig. The liner notes do not address this. Maybe he was ill that night? I can understand one or two features for Junior but not 4 out of 7 tracks.

Far worse bands came along after GFR. You dodged a bullet. Foreigner springs to mind...

I find it interesting that Blue Note is OLDER than Capitol.

It seems they have officially called it a day. Last gig was in Tokyo. It was a great run! Bertrand.

I have a $240 credit to spend. Group gift...

My new theory is that the Goerge Wein Estate made a fuss. Lucky I grabbed most of the good stuff years ago.

Copyrights don't tell me much, but Stern recorded it in 1998 on one of her records (with some sort of vocal choir), whereas Bonner never recorded it again, I lean towards Stern as composer. Bonner may have told Lacy that he was the composer, I assume they knew each other,

PC's last date shown in Tom Lord is a Wynton Kelly trio date on 8/4/68. He played Left Bank with Blue Mitchell on 9/15/68. The rest of the band was Sonny Red, Bobby Timmons and Lennie McBrowne. He died on 1/4/69. Based on a secret list I have, a tape existed 20 years ago. Not sure if John Fowler still has it, but PC's very last recording may still be out there and I am sure it is better than the Wynton Kelly date. Not sexy enough for Zev Feldman, I guess. Bertrand. PS: It is also one of the last Bobby Timmons dates. He was at Left Bank with Dexter Gordon on 5/4/69, and that seems to be his last recording.

Well, I am not sure what I may find. Possibly nothing. Unless proven otherwise, the composer is Stern because she was listed on the LP. The odds that Lacy is confused because Bonner is on the record are fairly high.

PC played at Left Bank after the last date listed in Lord. If that was recorded, it would be his last date. I will dig up details later.

Konitz and Stern were actually an item for a while, per Konitz. I met her once or twice in DC, and I am Facebook friends with her. I could message her asking how Woody came to record her piece. I will leave out the Lacy/Bonner bit. I can also check copyrights later.

Frank Haynes is awesome. I wish more was known about him. I have never even seen a photo.

It is on Woody Shaw's Love Dance. Credited to Peggy Stern there, but Frank Lacy recorded it recently and says it is by Joe Bonner, who plays on Love Dance. Where else did Woody record it?
