She is adorable indeed. You and your wife are blessed. Bertrand.

Further research seemed to indicate that 'It's Too Bad' was not with Larry Young - it says somewhere on the Hendrix site who it is. Don't know about 'World Traveler'. The presence of Larry on the third track seems to be uncontested - it sure sounds like him. Bertrand.

'We Shall Overcome' is not actually 30+ minutes long on the Montreal CD - it's a typo on the back of the CD. They still stretch it out too long, though. Bertrand.

Ducats? Did you used to live in NYC and go by the internet moniker 'hardbop' The price of a movie ticket is a round 9-10 bucks, which is about how much a Blue Note reissue costs when Borders or Tower have a sale. Guess which one I will choose to spend the money on... Bertrand.

For what its' worth (not all that much), the entry on Wayne at jazzdisco.org shows the following: V.S.O.P. Freddie Hubbard (tp) Wayne Shorter (ss, ts) Herbie Hancock (p) Ron Carter (b) Tony Williams (d) 'Live Under the Sky', Tokyo, Japan, July 26, 1979 One of Another Kind CBS/Sony [J] 40AP 1037/38 Teardrop - Pee Wee - Para Oriente - Fragile - Domo - Stella by Starlight / On Green Dolphin Street - * Live Under the Sky / V.S.O.P. (CBS/Sony [J] 40AP 1037/38) V.S.O.P. same personnel 'Live Under the Sky', Tokyo, Japan, July 29, 1979 Skagly CBS/Sony [J] 40AP 1036 Finger Painting - Mutants on the Beach - Circe - * Five Stars / V.S.O.P. (CBS/Sony [J] 40AP 1036) I was really hoping that the US CD would include the four tracks from 7/29 - I'm really pissed off; this is one of the few Wayne sessions I'm missing. 'Circe' is supposed to be 'Atlantis'. I'm not sure about the alternate titles that C.J. gives for 'Para Oriente' - I knew this tune first as 'Angel Street'. Bertrand.

Sidewinder, I don't think the two vocal tracks are essential, but I still want to have them when these two titles finally appear on CD. If Blue Note were to, say, combine the two LPs on one CD and leave the vocals out for space limitations, I would be royally pissed! Bertrand.

Disagree - everything on Contrasts and Heaven And Earth is essential stuff, except the two vocal tracks. Bertrand.

You know I was kidding, right? Bertrand.

Especially because it is rumored he will playing the b-3 exclusively tonight! Bertrand.

I tend to avoid the 'Wingy Corner' and the 'What Jazz Album is Aric Listening to Whilst Pleasuring Himself Today Korner'. Bertrand.

The tune 'No Smokin' from this session is rumored to be by Bud Powell. It does appear on a Powell bootleg. Does anyone know anything more about this? Bertrand.

Claude, Street Of Dreams is missing from your list. Bertrand.

What's the recording date on this session? Thanks, Bertrand.

RDK, There are a couple of improvised pieces on the Black Lion sessions which are labelled as compositions: 'Chordially' and one or two others (titles escape me at the moment). Whether or not these can be called Monk's last compositions touches on the whole debate of composition vs. improvisation. Bertrand.

Brownie, Actually, 'Goldie' was originally recorded on Wynton Kelly's Kelly Great LP (August 1959) under the title 'What Know'. Bertrand.

Peter Watrous - there's a name I haven't heard in a while, and I'm none the worse for it. Bertrand.

A friend of mine is doing a recital in November of Horace Silver compositions. I am in the process of digging up all the copyright deposits (tons of 'em, all in Horace's hand-writing), but these are lead sheets. We were also hoping to find arrangements. There are two books out there available for purchase, one from Hal Leonard and one from Jamey Aebersold. Does any one know which pieces are contained therein? Thanks, Bertrand.

Thanks, Dan. So, this is essentially the Horace Silver quintet with Hugh Lawson and Bohannon in addition (what does he play?). The two 'Soulin' tunes must be the same since Joe is credited in both cases (I don't have Prairie Dog either). The only remaining mystery is why Roy copyrighted it as his own tune, even though Joe was given credit on the LP. Bertrand.

Man, I bought this two years ago with the Border's 50% coupon (< $5) and have yet to listen to it! How pathetic of me - looks like a nice set. Bertrand.

Brandon, This is an amazing find. How long ago were these purchased? I assume it is much more recent than the main collection, which they got in 1992/1993. What else is in there? How much music would you say was on these two reels? The score was never issued on CD mostly because the story is that there's not so much music there to begin with. Mingus was slow and only got one or two tunes ready for the film. They fleshed out the rest with Shafi Hadi improvisations. Considering that his output does not exactly glut the market, I would love to see this released. I may be able to get together this Saturday. I'll call you. Take care, Bertrand.

Very interesting! As I was looking up 'Soulin' (before I saw your posting), this is what I found: 1. Registration Number: RE-601-483 Title: Soulin'. m acJoe Henderson. Claimant: Joe Henderson [Author] Effective Registration Date: 16Dec92 Original Registration Date: 15Apr64; Original Registration Number: EU821331. Original Class: E 2. Registration Number: RE-601-609 Title: Soulin'; instrumental. m acRoy Brooks. Claimant: Roy Brooks [Author] Effective Registration Date: 16Dec92 Original Registration Date: 20Mar64; Original Registration Number: EU818027. Original Class: E Note that they were renewed ON THE SAME DAY, and the original copyrights are only a month apart. So I need some more information: 1. Are the two compositions (the one from Beat and the one from Prairie Dog) really the same? 2. Who gets composer credit on the Brooks album? 3. Does Joe play on the Brooks album? Note: I just checked allmusic.com; Joe gets credit for 'Soulin'', and they also do 'Homestretch', so I guess Joe is on this record. When was it recorded? This leads to a very thorny issue: in case of dispute over authorship of this piece, Brooks has the edge due to the earlier copyright date. HOWEVER, Joe's lead sheet alludes to a 1960 date of composition. Hmmm... Bertrand.

A correction: 1960 is the date written by hand on the copyright deposit for 'Soulin'' (which I was looking at at lunch today while gathering some Horace Silver stuff for a friend who's doing a concert in October). I assume this is Joe's handwriting. However, according to www.loc.gov, the copyright date is from 1964. 1960 must be the date of composition (although I could have sworn it said 'copyright 1960'). Bertrand.

Joe Henderson has a composition entitled 'Soulin' that he published in Horace Silver's publishing company. The only recording I know is on Duke Pearson's Prairie Dog (1966), on which Joe does not appear. But Joe copyrighted this piece in 1960, before he even started recording (which was May 1963, despite what AMG says). Was this recorded elsewhere, possibly with Joe on board? Thanks, Bertrand.

In addition to playing music from 2 records that hadn't been released yet, in July 1969 at Juan-Les-Pins, Wayne Shorter is quoting his composition 'Super Nova', which has not yet been recorded. Bertrand.

THE BASTARDS!!!
