  1. Totally different film. This one was directed by Dorsay Alavi.
  2. 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.
  3. I am saying there could be a correlation. There is nothing in the interview suggesting it.
  4. His cavalier attitude towards women could hide something more. Maybe not. We shall see.
  5. 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.
  6. I guess it can be viewed at LC, though that involves some hoops. Needs to be commercialized, probably will never happen.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I hope to see him at Twins if I am in town. Won't be that rhythm section, I am sure.
  10. 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.
  11. Can sexual harassment charges be far behind?
  12. 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...
  13. You need several second opinions.

    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.
  16. I hope this one has detailed personnel info. I would like to know who is on vibes.
  17. 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.

    Jimi Hendrix

    Other than the 20-minute Young/Hendrix piece, is there any other releasable material with Larry Young? Bertrand.
  19. 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.

    Update: The concert is happening on Thursday 1/18/18 5-7PM at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The leader is trumpeter Mike 'Bags' Davis, who played on those last two Mingus records. The rest of the band is Leo Maxey (trumpet), Brad Linde (tenor and bari), Harry Appelman (piano), Eliot Seppa (bass) and Jamieson Tobey (drums). FREE! Next month would be his 90th birthday, BTW.
  21. So the tracks you just sent are the same ones you sent a few weeks ago, correct? Bertrand.
  22. Isn't Lee wearing the same raincoat on the cover of City Lights? Bertrand.
  23. Man, it has been 4 years since Wayne has released any new music, and this is how it is offered to us
  24. What music is on this set exactly?
