  1. but it really has also been overhyped IMO. Just be thankful it wasn't put out by Resonance
  2. I am very honored that I was invited by Robert Shahid at WEAA in Baltimore to discuss the new Freddie Redd and Butch Warren releases on his show Masterclass. This will be from noon to 1PM EST on Tuesday 4/27, the link is below. Hope you can tune in! Bertrand. WEAA | The Voice of the Community
  3. That is great! Has he had his reel to reel tapes transferred?
  4. Thanks, that's it except it does not have the post-event interviews. I missed part of that. Was listening to an interview about Hasaan.
  5. Yes, please find out what you can. This stuff needs to be digitized and placed in archive. I may have to start my own damn jazz archive...
  6. I watched most of it but had to stop around 9:45. Why the heck was the video taken down???
  7. Listen to WPFW online tonight just after 10 for an interview with Lewis and Alan Sukoenig.
  8. Did anyone ever contact the guys with the tapes so they could at least be transferred? Commercial release of a whole other issue, but get them preserved before they rot! And don't just hand a stack of tapes to Zev...
  9. Is it audio only? I think that is what is confusing me.
  10. Those last four are tempting. Is there a fee to get in or is it by donation?
  11. Thanks! I will pass this on to her. Her name is Sarah and she is studying at Georgetown.
  12. Is there a way to interview Corky? I know a student would would like to talk to her.
  13. The (W) means wife/widow though. So they passed themselves off as the missus? Corky Hale the harpist? Is she still around? Asked on Facebook and I got this from August 1944: (193) Bobby Socks - YouTube
  14. Betcha $1 it's Public Domain, and not just in Canada. Bernie's Tune - Wikipedia So actually it was renewed in 1981, but that was 40 years ago. Where does it stand now? Type of Work: Music Registration Number / Date: RE0000094853 / 1981-06-23 Renewal registration for: EU0000333602 / 1953-09-10 Title: Bernie’s tune. Music: Bernard Miller. Copyright Claimant: Ruby Jewler (W) & Bernard Miller, Jr. (C) Variant title: Bernie’s tune
  15. Lewis Porter plays a never before recorded Hasaan piece, 'Never Too Late, Fate': Playlist Live Sessions: WRTI @HOME (npr.org) Go to the bottom, click on the photo of Lewis and the video will play,
  16. Dang, there are a couple of alternates.
  17. There's a feature in Jazz Times on Basra and Steve Swallow gives his recollections. He also accuses Alfred Lion of stealing the publishing for Eiderdown.
  18. Michael did not say which record it was. The main issue here, I think is that this is an LP which had been released at some point. There are many factors that would make an LP hard to find, and how 'good' the record is is rather a minor factor in the equation, IMHO. Is Kind Of Blue the best jazz record ever made, and that is why it is easy to find? Now unissued sessions or live tapes is another matter. But they were talking about a released session.
  19. Did they ask Wayne if he was OK with them pulling a 'Turkish Women At The Bath' on him? It is not even a photo from the same era (see Pet Peeves thread). What they should have done instead of messing with the cover is try to find the bonus track, Remembrance. It still existed when Stuart Kremsky was the archivist. It is a piano solo.
  20. Michael Cuscuna shared his personal recollections somewhere. This intrigued me: I mentioned to Bob that I had finally found one of the rare LPs on my want list and it was very disappointing. With a strong stare in my direction, he intoned, "you know, most rare records are rare for very good reason." I somewhat disagree with this statement. Discuss.
  21. There is an incredible resource called RIPMjazz which has digital holdings of many jazz periodicals. Alas, it is only available to those with an academic affiliation to a university that subscribed to it. My understanding is that once the DC Jazz Archives are reopened, I can access it in person. Sounds like a great retirement project, if I can ever retire.
  22. The music he is holding is the project in question, Iphigenia. I thought the Kennedy Center was at least partially funding it. Maybe not. I hope there is a livestream option...
  23. Yes, they play a few excepts. LOVE what I am hearing. Can't wait until the Library of Congress reopens so I can go listen to that solo piano set in the Max Roach collection.
