But this concert was after other Japanese concerts that did feature Shorter pieces. Maybe the incomplete pieces are Shorter tunes.

Not with COVID. Yup. That is probably why he gets mixed up, but, as I said, he tells the story as if the accident happened in August.

So how do get to hear this music? There is no reason we should not be able to.

A rare recording is up there now also.

Yes, contracts are out there but those who have them are not getting the research importance. Blue Note has contracts which would prove when an artist was signed to them but they are hanging on tightly to this info. It is needed whenever a tape shows up and it has to be determined which label, if any, has jurisdiction. This will be an issue if that Grant Green Left Bank tape ever surfaces. I think he was not with Blue Note, but they may claim otherwise. The Left Bank archives at UMBC does have a few contracts, let me see if I scanned any of that when I visited last August. I know the fee for a Duke Pearson Big Band gig was shown, and maybe a couple of others. To watch someone in action claiming contracts are of no historical importance, please watch the YouTube panel discussion I was on last year. You should be able to find it by searching for 'Baltimore Jazz Alliance Left Bank Jazz Society'.

80 is the new 90 these days. Re: Benny Golson. I have heard him tell the Clifford Brown story many times. He always gets the month wrong and says the accident was in August. It was June.

Agreed, this should have been a single CD, although they left off some other tracks.

So these were two different concerts on the same night, and neither concert is complete because some tunes were cut short? Which tunes were incomplete?

Today is the last day to watch, not tomorrow, correct? How long is the film?

An old school discography will not allow the manipulations that Felser wants to do. I will play around with Jim's suggestions.

Is he willing to make MP3s so we can hear the music? PS: What's up with the LP on the floor? Hopefully it is Kenny G.

This sounds like a group project several of us could collaborate on! The basic data is at jazzdisco.org, need to figure out how to import it. Maybe creating an excel from there is the way to go.

Apparently, you were just supposed to go to ebay and search for Jutta Hipp. Sorry about the confusion...

Yes, that is definitely a motivating factor here.

I am totally confused. I just clicked on it again, they are there. Does ebay have different settings for different users? I hate ebay.

I was thinking the tapes still exist. Are they still owned by Blue Note or did they revert to Ornette and now Denardo? If Blue Note still owns them than that is what they should put out, not this dumb package. If Denardo has ownership, then our only hope is if someone who has a test pressing is willing to make a transfer for posterity under the 'you can't take it with you' argument. Denardo had no interest using any Ornette archival material, according to my sources.

I still see artwork listed when you scroll down e.g. a drawing of Horace Silver for $300. One item sold so far that I know of.

How do we convince him to make a digital version for circulation before it is too late?

So there must have been more material on the 2-LP test pressings than on the single LP ESP disk. I wonder if any of the test pressings survived.

Did Quentin Warren ever take solos with Jimmy Smith?

Excellent!

I wonder if Hasaan was aware of Nichols. Perhaps through Elmo Hope. Autely.

Yes, those are the ones I was referring to. Are they presumed lost in the Universal fire? Could Ravi have copies?

I still don't quite understand what happened to all the other 1967 Impulse sessions. Are they presumed lost in the fire? Why was Stellar Regions not lost?
