In the new issue, a reader also writes to complain about the JOS piece. Great article of Lee Morgan - now I know the name of the woman he was cheating on his girlfriend with when he was killed. Bertrand.

Corrected my post above to make more sense. Bertrand.

And the song 'Heavy Dipper' may have originally been intended for Blue Train. I wonder if any further research has been done on this. Bertrand.

I think Quentin passed away a while ago. He was a bus driver, although he may have still been playing. Here's a GREAT article (despite the Dexter Gordon goof): http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=22403 Love the quote: “you’re not always in the mood for Monk. Sometimes you just want a Kenny Dorham tune.” Bertrand.

Indeed, I just recently found out that Quentin was Butch's uncle! Bertrand.

That Brain Salad site is full of it - it's much more than a 'quote'. Bertrand.

From the hospital described in this article: http://thebadplus.typepad.com/dothemath/20...tch_warren.html Bertrand.

Things are looking up for Butch - he will be out soon. I'll keep you posted as more details become available. Bertrand.

The Iridium has Joey DeFrancesco with Booby Hutcherson - not too shabby. Anything else? Bertrand.

That's the dumbest dress I've ever seen. Bertrand.

I've seen Oliver Lake a few times playing mostly Dolphy material - it was fabulous. I've heard very little WSQ. I've seen Murray and Bluiett a few times; I thought Lake was the best. Bertrand.

What's your friend's name? I'll keep an eye out for him. Bertrand.

Thanks guys. So I will definitely get it from yourmusic, since 5 of the tracks are not available elsewhere. Later in life, I might get the other stuff.... Bertrand.

Ed, Of course, you had a portable tape recorded with you that day, right? Bertrand.

During the WKCR Dewey Redman tribute back in September, Ben Young said that apparently Dewey Redman and Larry Young had a gig together at Slugs' in 1968 (with Rashied Ali). Discuss.... Bertrand.

I plan to get the single CD of this from yourmusic, which I assume matches the vinyl. I know there was a 2-CD set from this same gig. Stefan has told me that the tracks on the 2-CD set are from a different show than the single CD. So are the tracks from the single CD all from one show? Is there any overlap between the single CD and the 2-CD set? Thanks, Bertrand.

Robert Altman was my favorite film director, and McCabe And Mrs. Miller is my favorite film of all time. He was truly a genius. After Jackie, Dewey and now Altman, 2006 has been a REALLY bad year. I will never forget how much their artistry enriched my life. Bertrand.

I can't keep up - you guys must have found a secret to stretch the days to 48 hours! All right - so how much Hendrix with Larry Young has actually been issued? I know the track from Nine To The Universe was on LP - has it ever been on CD? I also know the track on the 4-CD box was NOT Larry Young. Is there anything else out there on Dagger records or elsewhere? Thanks, Bertrand.

If Quincy Troupe is involved, I expect the film to just be culled together from snippets of other jazz films. Bertrand.

I'm looking forward to reading this book to see what I can learn. Bertrand.

What's odd is that this half-session, to the best of the knowledge of everyone I've discussed this with, was not part of the later Roulette contract that Lee never got around to fulfilling. It stands out as an oddity. This being said, I do not claim to have done extensive research on this, just talked to a few people in the music business and a couple of Morgan and Dameron biographers, so perhaps some information has been uncovered by others since that would clear this all up. Bertrand.

There was a blurb in DB in '62 that Tadd was preparing arrangements for a Lee Morgan Roulette session with a large band (19 pieces or so). Of course, this probably never happened - Roulette signed Lee but soon dropped him because they couldn't pin him down for an actual session. To paraphrase Dick Cheney, he had 'other priorities' at the time. Should I move this to the political forum

I gave up on the Coen brothers after Fargo - I really HATED that film. Bertrand.

I'll have to watch the whole thing later, but this is fantastic stuff! This needs to be coupled with the Oslo gig for the next batch of Jazz Icons DVDs. Thanks Brownie! Bertrand.

Unlike a lot of people here, I don't buy Mosaic sets by the bagful. As much as I admire their work, many considerations (financial of course, plus the fact that I find the box set an unwieldy format in general) go into play before I take the plunge. In the end, I decide based on the availability of the material elsewhere. I ultimately bought this one because I knew Universal was not going to release most of this anytime in the near future. It was the presence of the Booker Little material that made me jump in - and this was worth the price alone. Go for it. Bertrand.
