The jury's still out on what Concord will do with Fantasy. Has anything been pulled from the catalog yet? I don't think so. Remember the Fantasy appreciation thread I started? They were going to have a big meeting in October. I'll try to find out more. Bertrand.

I think Milton Nascimento was still not very well-known when Wayne Shorter recorded his 'Vera Cruz' in 1970. And, of course, Joe Chambers was totally unknown when Bobby Hutcherson recorded 'Mirrors' on the album finally issued in 1999 as The Kicker. Bertrand.

Michael, Didn't know that you recorded 'Walter Davis Ascending'. Jackie played it at Lincoln Center in 1990 and it was on the radio broadcast, but he never recorded it on an album. How did you get a hold of this piece? Also, his tune 'Fort Apache' has only been recorded by the Fort Apache Band. But I think Jackie falls beyond the scope of this thread. Bertrand.

Sony is practically BEGGING people to bootleg this set! Vincent Wilburn is an idiot, and a crummy drummer. Bertrand.

Questions: 1. Will the EP be included as well? 2. What is the source for the remastering? Recall that the tapes were destroyed by Capitol, so the Fred Cohen reissue was from LP (so the EP must have already been issued before). Did they find a tape source, or will this CD be remastered from vinyl? 3. Will this really come out??? Bertrand.

Carter died a tragic death on tour in Austria in the early 90s. His health problems were brought on by alcohol abuse. Previously, he had been badly beaten up by a mugger. There was a benefit at the Austrian Embassy to bring his body home to D.C. - the Austrian govermnent wouldn't release it until his hospital bills were paid. Wynton M. was involved. I saw him a few times in D.C. Just a few months before he died, he co-led a quintet at the One Step Down with Jack Walrath. They did a live recording session. I wish I knew where the tapes went. It was a great gig. Bertrand.

I will never put a copy-protected CD into my PC. However, will I always know if they are? Is it legally required for them to indicate this? Bertrand.

It's just that if I'm going to NYC, it might as well be when there's a great show happening. That week-end looks just so-so, but I'm waiting fo the Jazz Standard. I might go up to Vermont instead, if I can figure out how to do it without a car. Bertrand.

I was thinking of going up to NYC on the week-end of 12/9, but I checked the major clubs and there doesn't seem to be really anything worthwhile going on. Any other leads Thanks, Bertrand.

Refresh my memory - which were in July and which were in August? Thanks, Bertrand.

The Redman is excellent. Is the Tolliver disc a tribute to Maz Roach? Bertrand.

Amazing, Mike, that was EXACTLY what I was about to post! I know his mother (Miles's sister) was in charge ten years ago, but she must be too sick or even dead by now. I was told that at one of the Miles conferences in St. Louis, she looked up and down at a woman's Miles T-shirt and asked her if it was 'authorized'. Looks like the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. Bertrand.

Bon anniversaire, Guy! Bertrand.

Why don't you just wait for Verve to put them out Bertrand.

Miles was supposedly one of only 7 people or so who heard Shirley Horn's Ashes And Embers when it first came out, so anything is possible. I also have a theory (exposed elsewhere on this forum) that Miles heard Mother Ship before he recorded Bitches' Brew. I need to follow up on that. Bertrand.

Hasn't MC been trying to put together a box set of Miles quintet stuff? The hoops are indeed outrageous; look what happened to the Cellar Door. Bertrand.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in the Library of Congress vaults - why don't the record companies go after that now that the Monk/Trane is selling like hotcakes? Bertrand.

I need to get that Harold Land - I gave up on Verve. How does one order from Tanno? With customs etc., how much will these set me back? Thanks, Bertrand.

So, is it copy-protected If not, you can all make copies for us, because it sounds like no one in the U.S. will ever get it Bertrand.

Yes indeed, a very happy birthday to Daniel! Bertrand.

Better yet, Miles could have helped Quincy Troupe write his autobiography. He would have just lifted quotes from previous Troupe biographies and attributed them to Troupe himself. Bertrand.

Interestingly, though, I don't hear 'Impressions' at all in Larry Youngs' version of 'Pavanne'. What am I missing? Bertrand.

Wasn't it determined that Stevie Wonder stole "I Just Called..." from some unknown aspiring songwriter? I know there are always claims like that, but I think this one actually was verified. Bertrand.

All the discographies I've seen show Wayne (2 tunes), Cedar (2 tunes) and Curtis (1 tune) as the arrangers. No one mentions an arranger for the closing tune. Did Freddie arrange that one? Bertrand.

I missed the first part of this, but caught then ending. It indeed sucked, plus I always hated that song. A couple of questions: 1. Who is that drummer? He sounds unworthy to play with Herbie. 2. Does Aguliera always masturbate the microphone like that? I was expecting it to squirt any minute. Bertrand.
