Isn't the purpose of museums to celebrate things historical?

The Cookers mostly play group originals though. They are not really a repertory band. Bertrand.

Meanwhile, no one seems remotely interested in the 60+ unrecorded Lee Morgan tunes I found at the Library of Congress 20+ years ago. Thomas will be doing a book signing at Sankofa bookstore in DC on 9/11 at 6:30 (near Howard University). I was going there anyway for the gig at 8, so I will try to stop by early and see what's up. Bertrand.

By that token, Hitler also enabled Blue Note records to be founded. Bertrand.

I think I remember an interview in which Belden said there was a tape but the audio quality was very poor. it might have been a different concert, but I do think it was this one. I'd be surprised if it was 'Falling Water'. Bertrand.

This month's Jazz Times has an interview with the cop who rode with Lee to the hospital. I thought the police report was AWOL per Jeff McMillan's book, so I wonder how they found him. Bertrand,

Unity alternates are 'If' (two takes), 'Moontrane' and 'Beyond All Limits'. Bertrand.

Jubilee Shout has an alternate that was not on the Mosaic? That bites. Bertrand.

Never understood what freemasonry was all about. Bertrand.

Just joined the Facebook group! Bertrand.

Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes! Time sure is flying... Bertrand.

This is shaping up to be the Battlefield Earth of jazz movies. Bertrand.

OK, just got a copy of Lonnie Smith's Move Your Hand from Deep Discount which sure looks like a CDr - the cover and insert looks like it was a Xerox copy, the label on the CD is black, not blue, and the packaging looks flimsy in general - the booklet doesn't even quite fit in the case. Was the original flimsy like this? I doubt it. Amazon also had this, marked as a CDr on their website. Deep discount did not label it as a CDr. Has anyone gotten CDrs from Deep Discount that were not advertised as such, and if so, did you contact them to complain? I will shoot them an e-mail later. Bertrand.

Is there any connection (harmonic or otherwise) between the Gerry Mulligan piece and the Wayne Shorter piece? I am wondering if that would explain the title Wayne chose. Thanks, Bertrand.

Curious that Jay Ferguson, the other surviving original member along with Andes, was not interviewed. He must be doing OK financially; didn't he write the theme to 'The Office'? Are there any recordings of Zep playing Spirit songs? Bertrand.

Thanks! I had googled but did not find anything this specific. I will try this but probably will not get a chance today. Bertrand.

Has anyone successfully made a Samsung DVD C500 player region free? Thanks, Bertrand.

Dang, I am not a big fan of needle drops, but how else can one get this music? Bertrand.

Is this two-fer legit or only in Europe? What is source for the tapes? Thanks, Bertrand.

I will try to find out. Bertrand.

I just got back from the gig. It was great to hear McCoy and Bobby together, and Norah Jones with Wayne Shorter worked out really well. I wish Wayne's quartet would have had more time, but I knew to expect a short set. I did meet Don Was briefly backstage after - seems like a real nice guy. Kendrick Scott really knocked me out throughout the night - is he a BN artist? Bertrand.

It's some of those tracks, but not all of them. Jean de Fleur will be there. Bertrand.

What is the release date again? I can't seem to find it... Bertrand.

Heads up - Blue John will have several extra tracks. Bertrand.

I have a personal connection to the Thai Place so I hope it wasn't them...
