I have the Andrew Hill and Freddie Redd shows which are wonderful.

Yeah, "Boogie Stop Shuffle" was the one I thought of immediately when I saw the topic.
Compare it to the Spiderman theme.

I'm not really familiar with Ben Sidran's oeuvre, but this one is pretty cool...JG's blowing too.
I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that Sidran asked about Sidran/Nardis to Miles himself and Miles was quite surprised and amused (but obviously it's just a coincidence).
It was in the Talking Jazz interview.

And yet I was at a gig the other day where they played Nardis and announced in all seriousness that it was written for Sidran.

Are people still hung up on this Nardis thing? The title has nothing to do with Ben Sidran.

This is so sad.

Dr. Lonnie Smith covered it on his last record with Iggy Pop on vocals.
What did Thomas play and what year(s) did he play with Byrd? Nothing in the Lord disco.

Miles Davis - The Lost Septet (2 CDs) - $15.39 prime
This is a CD-R though, right?

The place card on the table certainly looks like it bears the Slugs logo.
Yes, that is a clue.

How can he be contacted?

The Cooker is such a great record.

This disc arrived here only today! For unknown reasons it was returned to the seller, so I ordered some more, and he included it in that package. Really a nice album, but Rudy Van Gelder was a bit too generous with his reverb, for my taste.
An alternate take of I Wanna Blow, Blow, Blow can be found on the Jimmy Forrest Soul Street record, which is itself a compilation.
I got confirmation that it was a different take from Pepper Adams scholars Gary Carner and Frank Basile.

RSD is for vinyl only, right? I assume I can the Mingus Live at Ronnie Scott's (my title) online later?

The slurring is more pronounced in the last few years and sadly, may have been a result of his disease, not yet diagnosed at that point. Definitely noticeable on Montreux 1975.

Will there be a CD of this?

Yes, yes, yes! (Please.)
And ... I'm on board for the CD release of the Ayler too.
Apparently even the CD release of this set will be a limited edition also...

chuck, that is alvin queen's label. i also put this up on fb today and got a nice response from him thanking me for talking about john collins. we had a nice little exchange. that lp was eponymously titled john collins, and besides collins and queen feautured sweets edison. yes, it came out in the '80s. i used to own it. in the front cover picture mr. collins looks just as happy as in that nat cole video i posted. i bet he was a hell of a guy...
Has it ever been on CD?

So Mingus actually took the entire band back in the studio to record the edits? Someone had to pay for that, and I assume that someone thought they could insert them somehow. That is very interesting.
Mingus was one of the first in jazz to tinker with the recordings and not feel a need to present a session as is, starting with Mingus Ah Um which had many edits.
What annoys me personally about the marketing hype is the fact that I feel I am being talked down to. I can decide if a set of previously unreleased Mingus music is important to me or not, I do not need to have it sugar-coated. The problem with the over-hyped new releases is identical, plus in that case it is insulting to the other artists who were not fortunate enough to become media darlings. Lazy journalists are at fault there.
At least the release now has a confirmed target date and I will not be asked to take down any mention on Facebook. I guess that's progress.

I can get perfectly stoked by "First Official Release" of "Previously Unissued" or something like that. That's accurate language, and is indeed a reason to be excited.
"Lost" or "Never Before Available" and shit like that, no, that's usually not true, not in the least. The recent Hasaan things, yes. This Mingus and other such stuff, no.
The inability to hype without being able to resort to what is, objectively, an untruth demonstrates a core lack of imagination that is only a few steps (or less) from an actual grift.
Sign of the times.
I agree.

Slippery slope...

Calling something lost when its location has been known all along smacks of Hucksterism to me. At least they didn't try that with Just Coolin'.

Lost and unreleased are not the same thing. Were the tapes missing? It sounds like they were in a Vault the whole time.

Toronto is one of my radar, and also Zoom Club 1972 and Hyde Park 1969. Marquee 1969 was tempting but the reviews say the sound is awful.
The ones available on the DGM site are pressed CDs? Japanese reissues seem to be a different series entirely.

Asbury Park has some overlap with USA, but more tracks, correct?

I have never bought any of these but am eyeing a couple.
1) Are they real CDs or CDrs?
2) I know some sound terrible. Are there any to avoid at all costs? Are there any that are essential?

I have the privilege of knowing Joe personally, we talk on the phone periodically although it has been a little bit. I always pick his brain a little on all the history, he is one of the last eyewitnesses to the Golden era of Blue Note.
One of my all-time favorite composers. It is amazing that this seems so overlooked. His music is brilliant.
Joe would love to get back out there gigging, but a challenge these days of course. He turns 80 in June.
We have talked about doing an oral history of some sort. I would need help setting this up, especially in terms of equipment.

That record changed my life.

They tried to bring this band to Left Bank Jazz Society on 9/28/69 (with Richard Davis) but in the end Richard Williams filled in for Thad. A recording of part of this concert exists.

Not Mingus, but I always thought the first side of Jackie McLean and Co. Would be a great soundtrack for a spy movie.
