(I did a search on Larry Young going back 6 months before posting this, so don't shoot me). Something caught my eye in this month's DB (page 18). January 23 was Larry Young day in Jersey. There will also be a festival on Memorial day in Atlantic City (?!?), and there is a new website which seems to have been started by his son (larryyoungmusic.com). Add to that this article which I was made aware of a little while back: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=16789 Enough news to keep any Larry Young fan happy for a while. Bertrand.

Lon, You say you know a label rep for Tuff City? Elsewhere, Jim had posted a thread concerning a Dewey Redman LP on this label called 'Jazz Horns for DJs' or something like that. Could you ask your friend how we could score a copy of this? Thanks, Bertrand.

I'm with Soul Stream on this. So he posted a thread on a topic already discussed elsewhere? BFD. Guy, What $2 are you alluding to? I know a story involving Horace and $2, but I don't see where it is mentioned. It's a great story. Bertrand.

Ok, that's the same e-mail I have. He actually lists the boots!!! What a cool guy. Bertrand.

This session also sounds muddy in the Mosaic box. You take what you can get... Bertrand.

I was just teasing you, or course. I hope you realized that. I have an e-mail address for him, so I was going to use that. I don't quite see the contact info on the web page... Bertrand.

Thanks for posting Erskine's contact info. I need to write to him about something. Bertrand.

The song they play on Tribute To Blackwell is 'Guinea', not 'Togo'. It's a mix-up on the CD cover. Bertrand.

Tell me more about this snowstorm - I was thinking of taking a bus up from DC on Saturday. Guy, The cover is $30 everyday, week-end or not. Bertrand.

The sacking of Shukat is no great loss. He's given bad advice to many estates. The 1967 DVD is LONG overdue. Apparently, a DVD circulated with promos of the 60s quintet box (probably the same). Why the fuck it wasn't commercialized at the time is a mystery. It's also excellent news because it means the Mosaic box of live 60s stuff may be closer now. Bertrand.

Yes.

I see no one has mentioned Comes A Time yet? Bertrand.

Did she and Mingus know each other (well or at all) back in 1964? I thought they met a bit later. Bertrand.

Long John Silver is a total mess. Bark has its moments, though. Bertrand.

Does Reggie Johnson live in Paris? Bertrand.

Prediction: he will die stumbling over a sofa. Bertrand.

Man, I bust my ass to get 'em to finally correct the composer credit on 'Trapped', and then they go and attribute 'The Gigolo' to Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. I'm so pissed off right now I can't see straight! Bertrand.

Ron, I am trying to go also, either Friday or Saturday. It would be great to meet. Bertrand.

Chuck is being way too generous - the sound on the two Left Bank Jazz Society sets is actually quite bad - distorted piano, nasal alto etc. It's especially problematic when applied to Jackie's unique tone - it really sounds 'off'. The playing is great, but I really have trouble listening to these too often. Montmartre and the two Dexters are fabulous; Lullaby is only 'very good'. Bertrand.

Daniel, I was thinking the same thing! Bertrand.

Could the LP have been released both ways at the time? Or could there have been a mix-up in the pressings at the time, so that some of the covers came out with the sides flipped? The latter scenario is not impossible - my LP of Little Feat's Feets Don't Fail Me Now lists some songs on the back cover that did not appear on the LP, and omits others that did. Bertrand.

Don't forget that Bitches' Brew was inspired by Mother Ship... Bertrand.

Thanks Brownie! Strange that the Watkins was flipped. Bertrand.

Thank you! Bertrand.

Are the track order below correct? Thanks, Bertrand.
