I have some questions, I guess for James Harrod. 1) Will we be able to watch the Max Roach segment again? 2) Better yet, will this ever be released commercially? 3) They play Minor Mode Blues, Scene Is Clean and Love For Sale. What is the opening and closing theme? 4) They were at Monterey just before that. Is there a recording? Many Monterey gigs were recorded...

Thanks! The DVD also has some tracks from Belgium. Other than the Jazz Icons DVD, is there any other footage?

Mingus Festival starts tomorrow! Jazz Education — CHARLES MINGUS (also Charlemingus.org - same site)

OK, so 'most' of them are not on DVD. I thought I was missing something! I went through the discography. I have all the official recordings from the tour (inlcuding the Mosaic box and the DVD), and just got the Copenhagen bootleg which is great. I think one or two of them I only got as downloads, I need to look into that. I also have a download of at least one bootleg. This makes me wonder how many of these were filmed beyond those discussed above... Bertrand. EDIT I only got Revenge! as a free download from the Library, I wonder if it is still in print. I also have a download of Stuttgart, I think there was a bootleg. I actually made a playlist from the tour (and US pre-tour). Here is what I have. Am I missing anything? Cornell 3/18/64 (Blue Note CD) Town Hall 4/4/64 (Fantasy CD - partial concert; full concert in the Mosaic Box) Concertgebouw 4/10/64 (Mosaic Box) Copenhagen 4/14/64 (Bootleg CD on Hi Hat) Bremen 4/16/64 (Sunnyside CD) Paris 4/17/64 (Revenge!) Paris 4/19/64 (Great Concert) Wuppertal 4/26/64 (In Europe 1 and 2 on Enja) Stuttgart 4/28/64 (Bootleg CD?)

How many of the 64 concerts are on DVD? This is news to me.

I wonder if MP3s of the Roach tracks are floating around.

Oh. I did not know about this book, is it in print?

What is OP and is the book still available?

What, associate executive producer emeritus is not good enough for you

The Flamingo Lounge recording? I would try Cory.

Radam wrote a dissertation on the topic? Where can we read it?

Will do!

We have live recordings from Smoke?

Jim is very active on Facebook!

1) How any other recordings from Slug's are floating around? Sound quality is a secondary concern. The Dewey Redman/Larry Young gig would be most welcome. 2) That Paypal would have issues with the name Rashied Ali is beneath contempt. Bertrand.

Would Universal/Impulse still have the Masters?

Trolling around Bandcamp Friday, I came across a Zappa/Mothers date called More Pig Music. I guess it must be from around 1968, 11-piece band with the Gardners, Don Preston, Ian Underwood. It was free. What's up with that? Does the estate know? Any other free downloads on Bandcamp?

Also from Holland like that Rollins record but won't get as much fuss, I assure you. Combine this and the 1967 Newport date and you would have a nice little CD, about an hour long.

Yes, it was recorded on 1/20/85, the day after the Lonely City record, which was the same trio plus four horns (including Jordan). This new release has a couple of songs in common with that trio date. That is great that you have a DAT copy, because it is not clear what the family plans to do with his holdings. His son has expressed some interest in continuing from what I heard, but nothing concrete yet. I am very intrigued about the other material with Jordan...

Edited for clarity.

Crap, yes, Jim is talking about Maynard, I was talking about Horace. Definitely Wayne with Maynard. I was hoping Jim had the Silver concert. Dang. The only way to hear that is at LC. Maybe next year. I found a flyer showing Wayne was scheduled for Newport with Horace, but here is the evidence that it is Jordan: 1) LC says so 2) The review in Downbeat says so 3) The Burt Goldblatt book says so 2) and 3) are irrefutable, I think. 1) not so much, don't get me started...

(disclaimer - I have no financial interest in this release) When I first met saxophonist Brad Linde in DC, we talked about some of our favorite unsung legends, and we both immediately thought of the great composer and pianist Freddie Redd! I knew Freddie was living in LA and gigging on occasion, but I was not able to find him when I was there in 2004. Brad suggested we track him down and bring him to DC, and thanks to Michael Cuscuna we were able to do so! There were many memorable night at Twins Jazz, And Die Musik, Creative Alliance, Bohemian Caverns etc., and Freddie and Butch Warren even co-led a quintet for a while, which presented a Take 5 concert celebrating Thelonious Monk at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in July 2012. Freddie lived in the DC/Baltimore area for about 5 years, before moving back to his home town of New York City in 2013. Before he left, Brad organized a recording session at An Die Musik in Baltimore (special thanks to Henry Wong!) and the results are now out for all to enjoy! Brad and Freddie are joined by four very special guests: Michael Formanek, Matt Wilson, Brian Settles and Sarah Hughes! Digital downloads are available now, and a limited run of 300 CDs will come out next month. Note: Several of these pieces are previously unrecorded by Freddie. 'Love Is Love' in particular is a gem!

Jim, I would like to discuss this with you some more. There is info I cannot post here. How can I reach you? There are photos from this gig showing Clifford though. Very odd... Maynard Ferguson & Orchestra live at Newport Jazz Festival, Jul 3, 1959 at Wolfgang's The Maynard is above as an example. There is a download for $5 button on the top right. Does that work for you?

1) Apparently Wayne did not make the Newport gig and Clifford Jordan took over. There are photos with Jordan. They also have it at the Library of Congress, I hope to listen to it one day. 2) You don't need to be a member anymore - $5 per download, no commitments. No more FLAC, just MP3. 3) They seemed to have stopped adding new titles.
