I just downloaded a version of the Joe Henderson Quartet playing 'Isotope' from iTunes from a compilation entitled Monterey Jazz 1958-1980. Who is playing with Joe, and what's the date? A google search gave me no personnel listing. It sounds like Bobby Hutcherson with bass and drums. Thanks in advance, Bertrand.

Hmmm... The 'details' page on my account gives me the option of changing countries. I tried to do that, and they said I have to spend my $23 credit first (a Christmas present)! I only buy a song here and there from time to time, so that will take me a while. I hope the tune I want is still there when I'm done! Bertrand.

This has been going on for 35 years. So that's about 1,000 a year, i.e. 3 a day, every day, for the last 35 years. The mind reels... Bertrand.

I noticed a couple of rare tracks I would like to buy from one of the European iTune stores. How does one proceed? Can I use my U.S. credit card to open an account? Each tune is .99 euros. Will I basically be charged this price at the current exchange rate, or will there be a bunch of hidden fees? Obviously, there are none of the customs fees and shipping fees some of you are slapped with! Is it secure. or will my credit card number be stolen (happened to me in France 2 years ago)? Thanks in advance, Bertrand.

Lucky Thompson on tenor? Bertrand.

Which Chambers are we talking about here? Bertrand.

Clifford Jordan's Soul Fountain on Vortex (w/ John Patton) would be nice! Bertrand.

Yikes. The obituary in today's Washington Post makes a point of saying that he leaves no survivors. Oops. Should I try to correct them (no time today), or just let it be? Bertrand.

Who is the author? Jack Chambers? If anything, Downbeat was responsible by giving True Blue a crummy review. Bertrand.

First the Koran, now the Fantasy catalogue - what else are people going to try to flush?

Clementine must be out of town, or he would have been all over this article. Bertrand.

Do we know recording dates/locations for the 9 tracks, including the bonus cut? Thanks, Bertrand.

'Lord', 'Lord' is also on the Lucky Thompson Candid. 'Father And Son' is an edited version of a tune on the Cal Massey CD. I'm pretty sure these takes of the Mingus tunes appear elsewhere. The last track is a bona fide rarity. Bertrand. P.S.: Vassarlean = Weird Nightmare = Smooch

Nate, What Mary Lou piece is it borrowed from? Did she ever record it? Thanks, Bertrand.

The song with the words: 'Blue Skiddoo, we can too' (or something like that) borrows a little bit of 'Rhythm-A-Ning'. Not enough to warrant a copyright infringement suit. Bertrand.

God knows she gives us plenty enough opportunities otherwise. Bertrand.

So, where can I get a reasonably priced copy of the Japanese CD? Alternatively, can the bonus track be purchased through iTunes or something of this nature? Is 'Zero Gravity' a Shorter composition? Thanks, Bertrand.

AMG claims that this is the track order for Geroge Braith's Laughing Soul. Is this correct? Are the composers credits correct (AMG claims #9 is by Braith, but I know it's Dixon)? Is the title 'Chunky Cheeks' or 'Chunky Chicks'? Thanks, Bertrand. 1. Hot Sauce (Braith) 2. Chopsticks (Braith) 3. Chunky Cheeks (Ben Dixon) 4. Crenshaw West (Braith) 5. Please Let Me Do It (Braith) 6. Coolodge (Collage) (Braith) 7. With Malice Toward None (Tom McIntosh) 8. Little Flame (Braith) 9. Cantelope Woman (Ben Dixon)

Apparently a 45 single came out with a short version of 'Our Miss Brooks' from this session. Is this just an edited version, or a different version recorded especially for the single (like the two tracks on Hubbard's Breaking Point)? If it's the latter case, why was this version not on the Connoisseur CD? Thanks, Bertrand.

Any record with Jackie McLean on it automatically transcends the 'routine'. Bertrand.

Thanks to everyone for their very kind wishes! I didn't go to the Clifford Brown Festival in the end; I just didn't feel like being outside and getting poured on. I did get to hear the Monk/Trane Carnegie Hall tape on Friday. I'll post my impressions later in the week. Bertrand.

Robert, Is this tune a bona fide Shorter composition, or a group improv? How did you get the Japanese edition? The only ones I saw online are a fortune. Bertrand.

Robert h, I can't believe they're doing this Japanese-only bonus cut thing again. I thought that was over, since Alegria did not have this problem. What's the name of the extra cut? Perhaps it will show up on itunes. Bertrand.

I'll pass on the CD and buy the three extra cuts from itunes if they're available. Fortunately, I have the LP burned onto a CD. Bertrand.

Thanks Jim, this fits perfectly. The missing 48 seconds are solved. Why on earth is it not mentioned on the new CD that this version is uncut? Bertrand.
