There may be the complete tapes of the Stanford performance that was part of Autumn, but no more studio material.

Hank Mobley wrote a whole bunch: Old World, New Imports East of the Village Funk In A Deep Freeze My Groove, Your Move No Room For Squares Hi Groove, Low Feedback Don't Get Too Hip

Geez - I have that RCA reissue ... thanks for pointing it out; that may have been the reason I never ordered the Mosaic CD. My sound card was okay - after some giant Windows update last night everything was working like before .... no idea what was going on.

Seems to me the Lee Wiley Single CD is new to the Last Chance list - can anybody comment on this disc? Have trouble playing the samples - my notebook's sound card seems to be defective ...

Perfectly stated! impossible to top, so I just second it!

Cal Tjader should have made a Christmas album ...

Just used it - perfect and easy - great idea!

Nice that you play Wes' tune, great playing by all, but I kinda like the groove of Wes' recording a bit more ...

Those Jon Hendricks liner notes to the Prestige twofer are a piece of jazz poetry, or whtever you may call it. I will keep the LP just for them, eventually. "Measure for measure. To invite you to listen to King sing is my very great pleasure." Who else could have thought that up, besides Hendricks?

I get back to this fine offering every Christmas season. One of the nicest jazz Xmas albums I have.

Don't know very much about Mr. Beeks' biography (who knows?), but what was he doing in California? How did he get there?

Listen Here could be from the Eddie Harris Quartet set - Ubu, do you remember?

Then why, for goodsakes, didn't they add Listen Here as second bonus track to the anniversary CD?

I think in Germany Naxos has been outdone by Brilliant Classics, who are offering more bargain box sets on a much broader scale. But their new releases of original productions are on the same price level as Naxos' - who do not license recordings from other labels, whch is an important part of Brilliant Classics' approach at their box sets.

Sad news - he was consultant to Christopher Hogwood's Mozart and Haydn recordings. I always learned something new from his notes.

Yes - in his notes to the Montreux Festival anniversary CD reissue Joel Dorn admitted they had to dub the bonus track, Kaftan, from the videotape.

Does anyone know the order in which the tracks on the legendary concert by Les McCann & Eddie Harris at the Montreux Jazz Festival were actually played? The Master numbers are in LP track sequence, which is different. I know that "Cold Duck Time" was the encore. The video of the concert should have the correct sequence, does anyone have that? Thanks, as always.

Thanks - as I have the soundtrack and the DVD, too, besides all previous CD reissues, downloading single tracks from Qobuz seems to be the option for me. Still it's too bad they didn't go for completing those concert recordings - or did they? Anything previously unissued?

Only Not quite - see my post above. Only the second version of "Don't Blame Me" was in the soundtrack.

The track "Blues" (often mistitled C-Jam Blues) with Brubeck from a Mexican tour was in Brubeck's Summit Sessions album; Thelonious Monk Quartet And Dave Brubeck : Charlie Rouse (ts) Thelonious Monk (p) Dave Brubeck (p-1) added, Larry Gales (b) Ben Riley (d) Live "Auditoria de la Reforma", Puebla, Mexico, May 12, 1967 Green chimneys (unissued) Don't blame me (tm p-solo) Columbia Legacy C3K64887 [CD] Evidence (unissued) Blues (cr out,1) Columbia C30522, CBS (Eu)S64377, Columbia Legacy 88697-99580-2 [CD] Note: Columbia C30522, CBS (Eu)S64377, both titled "Dave Brubeck : Summit sessions". "Blues" mistitled as "C-jam blues" on most issues. Monk's solo on "Don't Blame Me" from the same concert was first issued on the 3-CD box Orrin Keepnews had compiled for Columbia, "The Columbia Years '62-'6". But there's another version of that tune: Thelonious Monk (p) Live, "Atlanta Stadium", Atlanta, GA, June 16, 1967 Don't blame me CBS 45358, (Eu)466103-1, Col CK45358 [CD], CBS (Eu)466103-2 [CD], Columbia Legacy 88697-99580-2 [CD]

Fresh Sound has reissued the contents of this LP as bonus tracks to two reissues of Les McCann and Curtis Amy, respectively, as it was their bands playing with Bumble Bee Slim:

If you know Pleasure's complete output of just three LPs worth of material, it's not that much different from his average form. But he was in better form on his last LP for United Artists from 1962, which includes a masterpiece, Swan Blues, a vocalese on Gene Ammons' Hittin' The Jug. In comparison, the Golden Days LP has superior sidemen. Nice to hear Matthew Gee in such a relaxed mood.
