Somewhere out there are also the original, carefully notated songs. I assume the Mingus organization has these. Have they ever been played live by the Mingus ensembles?

Is the Redman a needle drop? Check track 4.

Personality was written by John Patton.

Is this vinyl and download only, no CD option? Also, in what way was it 'lost'? 'Ignored' is more appropriate.

So it looks like this is how the preorders work - they didn't just go ahead and charge and ship, they wanted me to confirm that I wanted to proceed first and I had until Sunday 5/23 to pay. I confirmed and payment is being processed, so hopefully it will ship soon. Shipping is $3, which I think is a bit cheaper than shipping a single CD under a normal order. If this is new, it is a great feature - good way to guarantee to get something they may only get one or two copies of. There is a disclaimer about abuse of the system, which makes sense - someone could find it elsewhere cheaper and cancel the preorder. It could be that I will see this one cheaper elsewhere, but so far the only option is Japan. So it is definitely an approach I will consider for future Japanese releases, after a bit of shopping around. Edit: The order has shipped.

So this just popped up: Jimi Hendrix 1969 KPFA Tapes by Alan Douglas : KPFA : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive The Young/Hendrix Jam 14:49 caught my eye, of course. This one is halfway between the short version and the long version, lengthwise. This has a date of 4/2/69, the Hendrix site claims 4/14/69. Is it possible there were TWO Hendrix/Young jams, two weeks apart? I will download and compare, but maybe someone knows off-hand what is the deal...

It seems you cannot combine it with other orders, that was my original plan. On the plus side: the shipping is $3 for a box, once a week. So if you preorder several CDs, and they all arrive the same week, you play a flat $3. I paid less for shipping on this one CD, less than if I had made a regular order.

Is Billy Brooks still living?

Does anyone have any experience with Dusty Groove pre-orders? I see this: Placed May 13, 2021 Order # 1545856 1 item Order in process and a total with shipping. Does this mean it is definitely coming? I did not get an email yet, but that may come when it ships.

I'm not buying the story with Grant Green being on loan from Blue Note. Larry had not even recorded Unity yet... I think John Patton told our fellow member that it was Larry. For me, the fact that the organist plays the Love Supreme vamp pretty much all through Go Down Moses points towards Larry.

No this is different - these are the contracts signed by the artists. If that Grant Green Left Bank tape is ever located, no one could put it out without clearance from whatever label he was signed with on the day of the recording. In this case, it was probably no label, but no one wants to be Palo-Altod.

The saga never ends. The subject of Wayne Shorter's Vee Jay and Blue Note contracts came up on the Mosaic/Frank Wolff photos Facebook page. So I asked about Grant. Apparently: 1) Grant was on loan to Verve and still with Blue Note in 1965. Does it say courtesy of Blue Note on the King Funk record? 2) The contracts still exist in the vaults but not available for us to see. I am sure Cobblestone said 1967 because by then Grant was a free agent. They probably did not know the date but were not about to go digging. I wish Blue Note would at least release the contract dates, I don't need to know about the bread. If that 1966 Left Bank session is to be released ever, someone needs to know if he was a free agent at that point. He probably was.

My friend David Grundy in the UK is writing an article on Larry Young for publication in the online journal Point of Departure, for which he had previously written about Alan Shorter (see below). Any information, would be appreciated, especially about gigs, particularly those from the later 60s and into the 70s, outside of the Tony Williams LIfetime and Santana/McLaughlin gigs which are extensively documented. Some gigs he already has information about include: 1) Larry with Dewey Redman and Rashied Ali at Slugs' in 1968 2) Larry with Byard Lancaster and Eric Gravatt 3) Larry with Billy Brooks and Leo Wright 4) Sidemen gigs with Houston Person, Jimmy Ponder and Lionel Hampton (as pianist) 5) A large group under his own name called 'Continuous Prayer' around the time of Lawrence of Newark (1973/1974) Anything about his later career would be most appreciated (especially those of you who may have seen him live), as well as any leads on tracking down his album 'The Magician'. Thanks! Bertrand. "Why?": The Parabolic New Music of Alan Shorter, by David Grundy (pointofdeparture.org)

I had the pleasure of shopping at Daedalus in Columbia, MD. I sure miss that place.

Such sad news.

It could well be that Billie was a bit on the wild side, but there is no reason an actress should be asked to debase herself to replicate this part of Billie's life. It is one of the things that prompted me to give up on film as an art form, films have become soft core or even hardcore porn films. In a Lubitsch film, when a couple is about to do the deed, they draw the curtains. That's all we need to see. That was art.

Yes, depends on who is putting it together of course. Fitzgerald and Cohen are my go-to guys for composer credits.

Ingrid Jensen plays it on her Here On Earth record.

The film is a mess, and her performance is a mess too. And the sex scenes are EMBARRASSING.

All discographies should have composer credits.

Larry and Ulmer also played together at Keystone Korner, but Todd Barkan does not remember the year. My guess is same tour.

Who do we know at Denon? Is there a branch in the US or Japan only? I can't keep these conglomerates straight. And where is Savoy now? At some point they were with Muse.

Yes, a detailed musical analysis could help. Remember that Dixon said Patton could never play like that. The Master Tape could have some studio chatter. Joe Fields purchased it, so in theory Barney Fields could have it. When Joel Dorn reissues it on 32jazz, did he go back to the master? I doubt it.

It would explain why Verve can't find the tape... It is odd that he arrived at the studio at the tail-end of the session, if there was a session. If I was paying for a session, I would be there to make sure it is happening. And was Pittsburgh the only town in which he needed some money in a hurry? Did he make it a habit to offer to do a quick record date on the fly and give up all rights to it? Where are all the other sessions? I have a theory that Lee Morgan may have made some secret sessions for Roulette, since he was copyrighting mystery tunes in Morris Levy's publising company. I checked with the people who would most likely have the tapes - nothing. All I know is that Morris Levy would not have given Lee some money without expecting something in return.

Mike Fitzgerald thought part of the head was flat out missing, That is not true.
