I was lucky to hear and meet Jacques last November in Baltimore. He was in town for a conference called Paris/Algiers at Hopkins. The first day focused on the BYG days. Shepp, Moncur, Burrell, Cyrille and David Murray were also there. Burrell, Coursil and Murray also did solo sets at An Die Musik each night. Coursil did a short set. A bit of poetry, a bit of trumpet. The second night was historical. Archie and Grachan joined the two Davids for a 20-minute jam. Jacques did not join them. Archie was on fire!

Actually, I found a copy of the Vogue CD on Amazon, I went with that.

Is there a CD?

What is the Buzz Gardner/Rene Thomas record?

DEEP was an asshole. No great loss.

Just saw this, I will check it out. I believe Eddie Khan is gone...

This is a CD reissue?

Warren Wolf and Sean Jones are playing the music of Hutcherson and Shaw from Keystone Korner tomorrow. 6PM, link good for 48 hours.

I know, I was being facetious. I was not sure if he deleted it or you did. His originally words were cretinous and many of us reamed him on Facebook. I have had my problems with this guy in the past.

When we first started our livestream, musicians were ready to what?

What the 'Theme' is could be the topic for a whole other thread. I will dig out the DVD later, but I assume it is the standard theme that Blakey plays at the end of sets, sometimes with Pee Wee yakking over it. Don Sickler was involved with this series in some capacity, and he is very keen on making sure the title 'NY Theme' is used. It is a Kenny Dorham song, there is a lead sheet at the Library of Congress. Miles plays his own theme which I guess he wrote. But it is a different piece, I think there is a full version on Prestige. Lazy record labels have mixed them up for years. Which means Miles has sometimes gotten royalties meant for KD. It would be great to straighten this out, which records have which. The Miles theme is called 'Go-go' on some records.

Please remind me what the missing track is? This vinyl only trend is stupid. First of all, the sides are too long for a vinyl, I think you lose quality after 16 minutes or so, I was told Rudy wanted only 12 minutes a side. Second of all, it is missing a tune due to length. This should have been a CD.

Is Labyrinth a Swainson composition?

Great, hope I get mine soon.

Looks like it shipped...

He plays on only one track, Worried About You.

Orgasm and Four for Trane and Mephistopheles are probably the highlights of his discography, but there are some other outstanding moments. Not sure I would want to hear bootlegs of the crazy Paris concerts, even if they existed I am sure there are a couple of private recordings out there. I need to track down the New York Art Quartet tracks, Pitchin' Can and Coral Rock. Sorry I passed on those limited America reissues. I only have the Marion Brown ESP as a download. Is there a CD with all four pieces currently in print?

Is he still living?

It does help in that it clarifies what the Giganti di Jazz record is, but not the one I found at the Public Library free download site called Jazz for a Sunday afternoon. It seems there is some overlap. Good to see that Lord corrected his discography (I have an older CD-ROM I got from a friends who got a newer version), I knew it could not be 1961. Billy Kaye, not Connie Kay. SMH. So Giganti has only four tracks, not 5? Two by Zoller, one by Kenny and one by Grant? The Sunday afternoon record has a Kenny Burrell song called Blues Bag, possibly the same track as Newport. It has Grant doing Canteloupe Woman (labeled Blues In Green). The track labeled Canteloupe Woman is actually the Attila Zoller piece called Extension, presumably played by him. Is this an extra piece from Newport? The rest is tunes by O'Donel Levy, Bucky Pizarelli, Jimmy Ponder, Georg Freeman and Charlie Byrd. Could some of these also be from Newport? Who knows. In any case, I will assume Grant played one song at Newport (not two) and that the version I am about to download is that tune, same as on the Giganti LP. Would love to hear the Giganti track to compare. The timing on the one I am about to grab is 6:03. What a mess. Bertrand. PS: Is the Zoller quartet track really Straight, No Chaser or could it be a mislabeled Extension?

Wayne made some noises about digging up some Alan pieces, but it never happened. The article says he took over for Miles at the Vanguard once, possibly the quintet with Wayne was in the bill. If only that had been recorded!

The Grant Green track is from Newport? Interesting. Is it just the trio I listed because I think I hear a piano. So how about the rest of this. The recording I mentioned has only one Grant track, the other credited to Grant is Zoller I think (his tune in any case). How does it overlap with what Dan posted? Does the Europa track have two Grant Green tracks or one? The only other overlap seems to be the Kenny Burrell. So how much of this is from Newport? The CD I originally mentioned has a lot of O'Donel Levy. Are those from Newport? Anything related to LRC/Sonny Lester is always a discographical mess.

I ordered from Rarewaves since they were down to 6 copies. I guess they are fulfilling. I downloaded 6 tracks for free from the public library and listened to the other two. I did get the Shirley Scott from Amazon and got the downloads already. Good thing since the release was postponed.

Is Climax the DeJohnette piece?

Found my Miles diary. It seems to end at the May 1961 Carnegie Hall concert, so can probably not be of help for this.

It is now published: http://www.pointofdeparture.org/PoD71/PoD71Shorter.html
