He was a total jerk the one time I met him.

I hope his family can continue his wonderful work. Bertrand.

Yes, what will happen to the Left Bank tapes he never put out? He got about 20 total. Bertrand.

Great record! I wish I could find the other one with Dewey.

Looks like they are in a man-cave!

Totally different film. This one was directed by Dorsay Alavi.

It's Buddy Bolden's.

So it is preferable to go through Jazz Foundation rather than the link above? I once gave George and Cecil McBee a rise to the hotel from a gig. Very nice, graceful gentleman, and wonderful player. Hoping for a full recovery. Bertrand.

I am saying there could be a correlation. There is nothing in the interview suggesting it.

His cavalier attitude towards women could hide something more. Maybe not. We shall see.

Rooster or I can contact them and see if they have it through the ask a librarian feature. I have viewed things there before. They had a BBC South Bank Show on Blue Note. Interviewees included Lion, RVG, Reid Miles, Horace, Wayne and McCoy. McCoy plays a brief piano piece, maybe the only footage of someone playing at the RVG studios.

I guess it can be viewed at LC, though that involves some hoops. Needs to be commercialized, probably will never happen.

I was also told that Gil Goldstein prepared the charts for the 1991 Miles at Montreux concert. This source may not be so credible though.

News to me that TS and the Monk Institute severed their ties in January 2016. No wonder the last competition was in November 2015. There was supposed to be one in October and semifinalists were even chosen, but it was postponed. I used to volunteer for the competition until it moved to LA. I am really out of the loop. Bertrand.

I hope to see him at Twins if I am in town. Won't be that rhythm section, I am sure.

So the tune Green Acid has never been issued? I think there is a lead sheet at the Library of Congress, so at least in theory someone could play it.

Can sexual harassment charges be far behind?

We were just talking about this on Facebook. Hank with Miles is Blackhawk, Carnegie and Someday My Prince. But Hank was in the band from late 1960 to late 1962, apparently. Are there really no other recordings with Mobley? Not even an audience boot? Let's no even talk about the band with Strozier...

You need several second opinions.

Reminder: Cal Massey celebration this Thursday in DC 5-7PM, Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Has anyone checked out the Cosmic Surf Club record? Sounds 'different' vibe-wise. I will buy a download. I got Fred Ho's book. Great article, but there are a few errors, most notably the claim that Lee Morgan played at a Massey-organized concert on 2/22/72. Bertrand.

I hope this one has detailed personnel info. I would like to know who is on vibes.

Of course, I just got the other box, which sounds fine to me. This one has Model Shop so will have to get it. Bertrand.

Other than the 20-minute Young/Hendrix piece, is there any other releasable material with Larry Young? Bertrand.

It's a long shot I know, but would anyone have this issue of Jazz Hot Magazine which features an interview with Cal Massey? Thanks, Bertrand.
