Where can I find this: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/sunny-murray-khan-jamal-romulus/change-of-the-century-orchestra.p/

Very odd that Hank apparently told Litweiler specifically that it was Atlantic City. Maybe he played with them elsewhere instead?

When is this coming out?

But ultimately, does it matter? The argument that somehow releasing this would sully the reputation of any of these fine musicians was absurd back then, as it would be now that is has been released. In a way, it is like comfort food - we know what Hank sounds like, it is always great to get another helping even if it was not the best of all the meals Hank could have cooked up for us. Blue Note will make more money off of this than it cost them to put it out, that is a guarantee. And Zev Feldman will get another Jazz Detective of the year award, so he goes home happy. I doubt there will be one single negative review questioning Blue Note's wisdom in releasing this. It is also probably the last studio date by both Lee and Hank that we will ever hear, which is bittersweet. I know there is still quality live stuff out there, but it is in the grips of those sociopaths who do not believe in sharing, or are simply to removed from reality to figure out how to share with the world and still make a little bit of money. And do it all legally, too.

Does Ray Draper get any solo space on this one?

For those of you on Facebook, I just put up a lengthy post regarding the possible composer of Jimerick. Perhaps with enough shares, we will find someone in the world who recognizes it. Jeremy Pelt has already weighed in, so it could get very interesting. I hope to milk the ever-powerful exponential function as a revenge for all the grief it has given me.

Forget the Algerian war thing for a minute - Mobley played with Brownie and Dameron in Atlantic City?

I know I have brought this up before, but this kind of fell off my radar and now is back on. Amazon sells a few Region Free DVD players, they are pretty cheap. Do they really play any region or are there glitches? Are these legal? Do people care anymore? Right now, I just need it for one DVD, Weather Report Live in Cologne, but there are others I had my eye on I did not buy because of this issue. Or is it still possible to find a secret code online that unlock my Samsung DVD player? I can look up the model if needed.

Is Tolliver prominent on this or is it a guest appearance? Does he solo on the Lee Morgan piece?

Missing from my copy also. I actually had started a thread about this a while ago.

Oh right, I have the Murray. Which of the recent ones should I start with?

Oh, I did not understand that you had bought it. So that settles that. I do not expect a reissue any time soon, and even less for the bonus tracks to ever surface. I don't even know who has access to the vaults.

The story has always been that the 6 extra tunes were lost. The titles did not come out of the blue. The sheet music for a couple of these just recently turned up. Is it possible they never actually got recorded at the session and were just on a list - yes. If they had been found and slapped on to a reissue, I hope the word would have gotten out. This does seem to be a generic description. I have seen Japanese reissues that do not list the bonus tracks on the cover, e.g. Duke Pearson's Angel Eyes. I saw the Nichols CD in France, considered getting an upgrade even though no bonus tracks were listed, and decided against it. My experience with the Pearson had made me wonder. Then I saw this listing yesterday which made me wonder even more. Ideally, someone on the board would have bought this, but apparently not.

https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/CDSOL-45506 Anyone know what the bonus track(s) is (are). Please don't tell me they found the missing 6 tunes and no one told me.

Thanks, I was misinformed then.

Am I correct in my recollection that the CD reissue of this is a needle drop from a scratchy LP?

Are these up for good?

What is the ESP one?

That is my policy as well.

Mine is delayed from Amazon, but got the MP3s already. Needle drop? Really?

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.
