  1. Just got my newspaper-format catalog from oldies. They are selling a Miles Davis CD called Highlights From The Unplugged Nickel. Bertrand.
  2. Happy birthday! Bertrand.
  3. Joe Chambers should be on that list. Bertrand.

    Maybe Jazz Times needs to hire a fact checker. Bertrand.
  5. I've been hanging around Freddie for the last couple of years and have heard him play a lot of these pieces several times; there is no doubt he is the composer. I do wonder how soon before the session these were composed. One piece from The Connection appears on an earlier Tommy Potter session, so some of the Shades Of Redd pieces may have been composed earlier as well. The arrrangements on Shades Of Redd are amazing. I am curious how they managed to get those together. I'm willing to believe that may have been a collaborative effort, like the Brooks/McLean sextet session from Jackie's Bag later that year. Definitely something I need to ask Freddie about. I wonder how much Tina was responsible for these arrangements. Bertrand.
  6. No, definitely still want to get this, just haven't had time to follow up on it. Thanks for the link. Bertrand.
  7. Take it easy and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Bertrand.

    Why is Ruggiero infamous? Bertrand.
  9. I assume film footage of the Tonight Show appearance does not survive, or is there a chance? Bertrand.
  10. A prime example of something that belongs in an archive and not on ebay. Bertrand.
  11. Thanks to everyone for their advice. I actually went to Micro Center (where I bought the PC) first thing on opening Saturday and got a very competent and friendly technician who cleaned it for me. He ran a second scanner as suggested above, something that does not run in real time which he therefore did not recommend for home use. I then sat there for an hour while a scan was done. Cost me nothing since they never checked it in for diagnostic. I scanned at home again which found one more infected file, but ran it again a few times and nothing more came up. Those funny websites are gone, and 'defender' does not come up with anything more. So I think I'm OK, knock on wood. I will definitely look into malwarebytes. As for Mac vs. PC, I asked around and apparently Macs are starting to get viruses as well. However, they are much less frequent, so there is a good chance my next computer will be a Mac. This one is still quite new... Bertrand.
  12. It looks like a virus tried to come to my computer. I think I got rid of it except it looks like my browser keeps trying to access two sites which my antivirus ESET NOD32 keeps blocking (bigbadhead and zonedg seem to be the name of the sites). What can I do to get the computer to stop trying to access these sites? Thanks, Bertrand.
  13. If some of these are going to have tracks left off, that's just annoying. Bertrand.
  14. Managed to get it from Borders with 50% off (so $15 or $16). It was backordered but did show up eventually. 2 questions: 1) The labels are inverted (CD1 says 'CD2' and vice versa). Is this true of other people's copies (no big deal but I am curious). 2) Is the tune 'Scandia Skies' an alternate title for another tune? It sounds familiar... Bertrand.
  15. Do we have song titles? Bertrand.
  16. Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes. And Valerie, Happy Birthday to your son as well! Johnny Depp and Michael J. Fox and Kenny Barron all share it as well. Bertrand.
  17. This set and other tracks from the same gig were all put together on one Fresh Sound 2-CD set called Live At The Lighthouse '70. Get the later version, which has correct track titles and composers, not that anyone is getting royalties. Bertrand.
  18. Were the tracks with Joe and the tracks with Victor recorded on the same day or two different days? Bertrand.
  19. Quick question: on which tracks is Joe Chambers the drummer? I know he alternates with Victor Lewis. Bertrand.
  20. Was the guitarist Yotam Silberstein? He's playing with the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra on Monday. Bertrand.
  21. Supposedly the 2001 Canadian documentary on Dewey Redman is out on DVD. Both Amazon and CD Universe show it as unavailable, and I tried ordering through Barnes And Noble (who still list it) but they cancelled the order. Has anyone been able to track this down? Thanks, Bertrand.
  22. Perhaps Paul Combs, author of a forthcoming Dameron bio, has an idea. I will try to dig up his e-mail. Bertrand.
  23. Rooster, You are arriving at a good time. There are some great gigs lined up in D.C. for the Fall. I'll post details when all has been firmed up. Bertrand.
  24. Excellent! Give me a buzz. The Heath Bros. will be in town. Bertrand.
