How do we get the word out to them that Young Men From Memphis has an extra track? The mono take of Things Ain't What... is DIFFERENT than the stereo take. Ben Young discovered this...

I thought it was a whole week...

Oh, so they list not just dates that were known to be recorded, but any known performances, OK. Still possible that there are dates that were not known at publication time. I need to get this at some point, but it is the kind of book I always postpone getting because I know that the day after I get it, a new expanded edition will be announced LOL. That is exactly what happened with a Love A supreme. I held off on getting the 2-CD set, and right after I got it, the 3-CD set was announced. Grrrr...

Could there have been other dates at the Penthouse just not listed in the book? I doubt he did just one night.

It seems Sheila is now saying it is probably Ronnie Ball on piano. Duck Baker got a review copy and really did not think it was Herbie Nichols. Bertrand.

I have not heard this, but could the tenor be Mobley?

Yes, he should have been given this to listen to since it could be him.

Originally from DC, now in California. I really like her voice. I am fussy about vocalists Is there a new date yet?

So too late to change the 'personnel unknown'. Some sleuths may figure it out after the fact.

Whether it goes where we are hoping it goes is mostly out of my hands. It took years of cajoling this guy to get as far as I got. Five years ago, we were at 'I think I still have some tapes in my basement, I will try to dig them up one day'.

Thanks for finding the clips! A first listen does not rule out the possibility that it is Nichols. There is no smoking gun one way or the other.

Oh, OK, I see your point. Isn't Chewy an attorney in his 40s by now? His youthful exuberance must surely have been tempered by now. I feel the urge to call up Lou Donaldson suddenly. Good times.

What other acetates might be in there?

Not sure I follow. Chewy has expressed the correct opinion that an archive is the ultimate destination for such material. This does not preclude the possibility of commercialization. I was just adding the information that the Left Bank DC chapter also has a Hank Mobley recording. I am pursuing all the angles I can to ensure proper preservation of this material. My goal is to avoid another Uptown Left Bank debacle.

Working on it. They have a Hank tape also. Be patient.

Lord does not even list that one.

They have no been at Morgan State for years.

It was sponsored by the DC chapter of Left Bank, and the concert took place in Hyattsville, MD.

Another mystery. Philip Glass had a label with a similar name, but much later. Did they ever release anything? Who owned it? Could it be a demo and Sheila just slapped a bogus name on it? Who still alive played/recorded with Herbie Nichols. We have Sheila, Steve Swallow and Archie Shepp. Larry Ridley did a gig with him. Who else?

There are a lot of gaps in the story, and not much time to fill them since it is coming out next month. I am working under the assumption that Capri would prefer to identify the personnel before the release date. I assume they have made some attempts at doing so, but what attempts we don't know. How long ago did they find this? - Sheila does not remember the session or the personnel. Has she listened to it and still recognized no one? - Some names were thrown in the mix, including Herbie Nichols and Steve Swallow. Has Swallow been given an audition copy? David Frishberg is not mentioned, but he preceded Herbie. Another guy I would give an audition copy to. - Have any Herbie Nichols experts been asked to weigh in? From his reply on Facebook, it seems Mark Miller was not asked. If it were me, I would run it by Duck Baker and a few others. - The media got a preview track. Can any journalist say for sure it is not Nichols? I will ask around. There are some more avenues to pursue.

I was able to get Eastern Moods as MP3s through my Public Library, so at least I have heard it. Would love to see it on CD, I have all the others on CD.

(will post the comments here for those who avoid Facebook, check for updates) Me: In the discussion about the new Roy Brooks Left Bank CD on the Organissimo Jazz Forum, the question came up about the food that was sold during Left Bank concerts. Did people usually bring their own food for the most part or did they buy it? And it was BYOB, correct? BYOB but Left Bank supplied table set ups (Chips, pretzels etc.) most attendees brought food and there was some smoking chicken served for sale from the kitchen. And I mean finger licking good! And Gladys the cake lady. Fried chicken and set-ups. You could always get a pint across the street at the Wigwam It was great to see folks arriving still dressed in their ‘Sunday best’ church garb, some of the gentlemen had small briefcases that contained flasks and shot glasses and jiggers. LBJS provided the ice!

Watched my friend Danielle's livestream tonight. It will be up on YouTube for a while: (125) Danielle Wertz - 08-7-2021 - YouTube

I think it was BYOB. but you could bring your own food, or buy. Let me ask on the Facebook group.
