a funny/bizarre customer review of GG -Live At The Lighthouse http://www.amazon.com/review/R1TP1DSSE7OBD6/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000006DGG An amazing album for both hardcore jazz folk and newbies, April 26, 1998 By A Customer This review is from: Live at the Lighthouse (Audio CD) Two years ago, a friend and I drove from NYC to Atlanta for a weekend at the Olympic Games. We had a cassette copy of an scatchy old LP release of this recording. We drove all day and night both directions and the cassette didn't leave our deck. He and I listened to Grant for 18 hours straight, twice, and may (sic) times after, and still have yet to tire of this rocking album.

i can't remember if this album was any good.

i think if you re-record onto an old cassette, then after a time you will hear the bleedthrough. if you re-record onto a fairly new cassette, then it's ok.

reminds me of a funny story about a classical pianist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Hatto#Fraud http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2125348/Pianist-Joyce-Hatto-Husband-reveals-fooled-world-fake-recordings.html In February 2007 it was announced in a series of articles in Gramophone and the magazine's website (after editor James Inverne commissioned an intensive investigation from audio expert Andrew Rose and others) that the CDs ascribed to Hatto had been discovered to contain copies, in some cases digitally manipulated (stretched or shrunk in time, re-equalised and rebalanced), of published commercial recordings made by other artists.

that conversation took place when they first met, so 1974 would be correct.

I totally agree with Mike. As a matter of fact, everything I've heard Gould do I found horrible, I avoid his performances like the plague. I have 2 versions of the complete Mozart piano sonatas, one by Ronald Brautigam, the other by Maria João Pires (her later DG cycle), but, as I said earlier, these works are not really my cup of tea. gould recorded all the mozart piano sonatas, not just some of them. they're all on the 4cd box. and if you listen to these two movements from the box, you may agree that even though he didn't necessarily like them, he could interpret them probably better than anyone else (at least these two movements). http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Complete-Piano-Sonatas-Fantasias/dp/B0000028NT cd3 1. Sonata No. 11 in A Major for Piano, K. 331: I. Tema: Andante grazioso and 5. Sonata No. 12 in F Major for Piano, KV. 332 (300k): II. Adagio

if you like bach, then whichever mozart set you get, get the gould set too. it's refeshing to hear his bach infused interpretations of some of the mozart sonata movements.

the only miles 1970's sax player who's solos i don't skip is Bartz. the last two guys after liebman weren't overly annoying either. and i even learned to enjoy jarrett's playing on the 70/71 shows. still can't tolerate the shorter, corea, and liebman contributions to the music. as for liebman, my guess is that, at that point in time, miles had a white guy in the band so that concert booking people/club owners wouldn't be turned off by an all black band.

anyone have a jpg of the poster that's included in the box set?

yes, all studio. basically the original lp with bonus tracks, put into a 'correct' sequence order. whoever wrote the description on the storyville site must have been drunk. details of the studio dates are in the attachment below. thanks my people as actually performed on-stage here assembled from various studio recordings

it seems that all sources -amazon reviews, storyville, and the above posts- are purposely(?) vague about the contents of this release. the original lp is studio with strayhorn on piano, and duke sidemen. i still can't figure out if this new cd is supposed to be the studio lp with studio bonus tracks, or a live performance (no duke/no strayhorn/no duke sidemen) with some studio filler for missing portions. conflicting statements in the above posts. either way, duke's not on it.

i now have the back cover of the THE CHARLES MINGUS MEMORIAL ALBUM Burning Desire MBDRM010 can anyone confirm that track 5 "Danny's Beat" (2:49) is not the mingus group. thanks

i can confirm that the easily available 4 cd box called "Tresors" is an exact duplicate of 1: Bechet Creole Blues (1949-50) 2: In the Groove (1950-51) 3: Petite Fleur (1951-52) 4: Embraceable You (1952) from the above box set. and a slight date correction old 5: Nuages (1952-54) new 5: Nuages (1953-54)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeUWgwCH3F4 1965 berlin at about 5:50 tyree glenn starts off with 'without a song' and then turns in a very entertaining solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzOvJ8wYA1I from australia 1963 dvd Arvell Shaw solos on How High The Moon, and almost scrambles the video camera signal in the process.

http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/2013/07/stan-bernard-interviews-malcolm-x.html here is a good debate. towards the end of the text, malcolm debates this poor Gordon Hall guy into the ground, as far as i can tell. malcolm's just too logical for most of the people who he encountered. too bad there's no audio of this debate.

spike's movie, as deficient as it is, is the best biopic i've ever seen. biopics are usually quite bad. the Bayard Rustin debate is included in this dvd. it's an unusually good malcolm x debate, because Bayard Rustin uses logic to back malcolm into a corner. there's a great dvd of audio video malcolm, almost complete. only $20. http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/2006/08/malcolm-x-collected-speeches-1960-1965.html they actually undersell the amount of short video clips. i counted about 1hr40min of short video clips. note: the video portions are mp4, and will not play on a regular dvd player. need either a media player, or play on your computer. the audio speeches are mp3. malcolm x is at his best after he left the noi. before that he was kind of brainwashed by the teachings of the noi leader. luckily for us, most of the preserved malcolm x speeches are from 1964/65 - after the split with the noi.

the funky tunes on the live cd3 -at the bitter end, nyc 1971 are as good as the funky tunes on 1972 'live' album release (recorded 1971). but on this new material, the bass guitar is muddy, and is in the background. doesn't seem that they were able to get the multitracks - sound quality is completely different. willie weeks' bass solo on 'Voices Inside' is not nearly as good as on the well known version. as for hathaway's mellow tunes, well, they just suck.

what years does the 6cd version cover? it would be strange for them to release a 9cd from 49-58, and then also release a distilled 6cd version covering the same frame. i don't think that alternate takes is a factor, as i'm guessing that neither box has alternates. there has to be a 9cd version, because these catalog numbers are for 9 cd's 1169512/522/532/542/552/572/582/592/602

thanks for the info. i have a 4 cd box called "Tresors". seems to be complete vogue studio recordings 1949-1952. if anyone knows where i can find the complete 9cd box, please PM me. thank you

from an online bechet listing: " Subsequently Vogue issued a CD box comprising all Bechet's studio recordings (*), but - in general - the 'master takes' only. (* = The box number is 74321165972, and the individual CD numbers (although I do not think the individual elements have been officially released) are 1169512/522/532/542/552/572/582/592/602) " what is the name of this box set? thanks

as some have pointed out, i'm sorry to have started this thread. it's just naming anyone who has played the bass clarinet. i guess i'm interested in the *type of music* being played by a group with a bass clarinet as one of the soloists on all versions of spiritual and less so on india from coltrane's 1961 village vanguard box. and also on 'springtime' from dolphy's 6/11/64 paris show. i'm sure that everyone has the coltrane box, and here is 'springtime' from dolphy's 6/11/64 paris show. his solo starts at about 10min into the tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjgSHCGBh2o thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9udeWOjjls at about 16minutes into this 1988 documentary, there's a 1min clip of monk playing with haynes, Abdul-Malik(?), and rouse in a u.s. club. probably 5-spot 1958? looks like one of those march of time type promos. it's not mentioned in sheridan's book. is a longer version of this available anywhere? thanks

to me, no other instrument in the world sounds as good as when dolphy plays the bass clarinet on the above named tunes. i've checked out david murray live material. it left me unimpressed.

My favorite dolphy is his bass clarinet playing on all versions of spiritual and india from coltrane's 1961 village vanguard box, and on 'springtime' from dolphy's 6/11/64 paris show. Is there another musician who plays the bass clarinet in this fashion?
