amg still lists pharoah sanders 1974 Voyage to Uranus Capitol

are these tunes the same?

she was drunk every day of the last years of her life. on the sound of jazz video, she's probably drunk, and lester's probably stoned. maybe they should have scrapped that performance in subsequent releases and tv airings. >"With obvious good reasons" are you saying that it would be better if the video footage of those two songs was never released? it's only 2 tunes, about 5 minutes total. there is very little video footage of holiday, as opposed to hours and hours of the other people that you mentioned. and she sounds great on the 2nd song. it is foolish to defend Europe 1's decision not to release the holiday footage until now.

so, let's recap. all known billie holiday footage is now available officially. 'The Genius of Lady Day' at cduniverse has -both 7/58 art ford jazz party appearances, 3 songs each. all complete. -2/59 bbc 'chelsea at 9' appearance (one of the three tunes is a bit incomplete) - two songs from 11/58 paris which were discovered only a couple of years ago. she looks great/healthy in the paris footage. and the dvd includes the regular stuff: new orleans film excerpts; 1950 L.A. with basie; saddest tale. at amazon.com in cd search, "the ultimate collection" cd/dvd. the dvd has the previously unseen 'stars of jazz' appearance in los angeles 1956. 3 songs. and the usual sound of jazz appearance. and if that weren't enough, there is new lester footage. on the coleman hawkins 'centennial collection' cd/dvd, the dvd has coleman on art ford jazz party 9/58. on the last 8min tune (jumpin' with symphony sid) there's lester! doing his little shuffle toward the mic when it's his turn to solo (i don't think there is other footage of his walk/shuffle). trading fours with coleman at the end of the tune. great camera angle shots of lester. the ironic/moronic thing is that lester is not mentioned anywhere on the cover of the cd, and mentioned only in passing in the liner notes by morgenstern. as in 'oh, by the way, coleman and lester were good friends, and you can see them trading fours on the dvd portion of this set'. run, don't walk.

if only 5% of the people replying to this thread would reply to my 'looking for' items, and be able to supply them, i'd have some cool oop stuff.

plagiarism should be against the law.

after reading this thread, and checking out some of the releases mentioned, i made a compilation cd of grant green funky jazz tunes. admittedly, i mostly end up listening only to the green solos, because he doesn't improvise when someone else is soloing, but here is what i have: ain't it funky now 1970 the rest is live: houston person -real thing 1973 pain crazy legs at the lighthouse 1972 windjammer jan jan 'alive' 1970 let the music take your mind hey, western uniion man sookie, sookie

the only jazz covers of stevie wonder songs that i have are kirk's My Cherie Amour, and houston person 'you are the sunshine of my life' on 'the real thing' lp.

i've been working on taking them down a notch for a year or two (musicians who everybody likes because they're taught/told to like them). can't do that kind of project in one day. read past posts. btw, by all written accounts that i've come across, evans was in top form in 1980. and supposedly his left hand playing was very busy during this period (#6 - comparing to tyner's left hand chinese water torture on the coltrane concerts, i.e. mft), which is why i got those '80 boxes in the first place. what a waste of time that was.

no matter.

thanks, but i'm not subjecting myself to that thing again. i learned my lesson after giving the bill evans 1980 live boxes a chance - time and time again. they never got any better. soulless, extremely overrated musician. perhaps not as a pianist, but definitely as a jazz pianist. i wouldn't even call it jazz. and he plays standards either too fast or too slow. just doesn't seem to know how to get into the right groove. days of wine and roses, for example. a tune that people usually play in a lush, relaxed manner. he rushes through it like he's going to die the next year.

in the above sentence, i think you meant to say the beatles. Burt Bacharach would probably also beat stevie in that category.

so, i got the dexter gordon complete prestige recordings box from my library. the ballads are nice. and i'm making my way through the rest of the box, though dexter wouldn't be in my top 20 saxophinists list. one thing i noticed is that one of the tunes "Boston Bernie"(?), sounds quite a bit like all the things you are. the library is also getting art pepper complete galaxy box. i'm trying to decide whether to give that one a listen. i've seen his jazz casual video, and saw a long documentary from his late period. not impressive. which brings me to this. i figured as long as i may check out the pepper box, i might as well give another white box a chance - one that i've continually ignored: "The complete Paul Desmond RCA Victor recordings". it took me only the 35min drive to work, skimming through 4 of the 5 cd's, to confirm that this is terrible stuff. his embouchure has serious problems, his tone and attack are exactly the same on each tune, and i now understand where this reviewer is coming from (although the reviewer does not seem like he's much of a jazz fan). http://www.trageser.com/archive/music/album-desmond.html review: Bachelor pad kitsch The Complete RCA Victor Recordings By Paul Desmond RCA Victor/BMG; New York, N.Y.: 1997 by Jim Trageser This review first appeared in the December 13, 1997 edition of the American Reporter. Much as with Herb Alpert and Stan Getz, Paul Desmond spent the early '60s putting out bachelor pad albums — what was packaged to men of the time as smart and sophisticated and guaranteed to attract the chicks but which in retrospect just seems dumb, kind of like wearing Playboy bunny cuff links. The album covers tended to feature a sultry, scantifly clad young woman on her back, just waiting for her hipster man to put the right music on the hi-fi, profer a vodka martini and seduce her with fancy talk of Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal. It was music for cocktailers who found Sinatra and Basie too heavy, who thought Dean Martin wasn't quite mellow enough, who were too hip for Ray Conniff — but just barely. In other words, this was the soundtrack for folks who wanted their apartment to look like the set of "That Girl" and who basically thought "jazz" was an accessory you bought in the home furnishing department at Sears. Thank God that nightmare is over. Although, should you miss it or, like Henry Kissinger, actually remember it fondly, a new boxed set of Desmond will take you right back. The five LPs reissued in CD format on "The Complete Paul Desmond RCA Victor Recordings Featuring Jim Hall" are like a time capsule from 35 years ago: mostly inconsequential music, cover art that's a scream. To be fair, in many ways Desmond was closer to Getz than Alpert in having a serious jazz side that got caught up in a silly fad, a fad soon swept away by lava lamps and bell-bottom jeans. Desmond was a decent alto saxophonist capable of writing intricate, interesting songs that might have proven to be more worthwhile if given a fair chance. And Jim Hall, featured sideman throughout, is an outstanding jazz guitarist with a reputation alongside that of players such as Joe Pass and Barney Kessell. But unless you actually think Hugh Hefner is anything more than a curiosity, you won't find much on this set either. end.

http://www.rogersvideo.ca/ the above video rental store carries the documentary in ontario, and british columbia. if anyone lives in one of those places, i'll make it worth your while. thanks, len

up for the documentary. does anyone have documentarychannel.ca/ http://www.documentarychannel.ca/schedule/index.asp they have 'vinyl', and 'bukowski: born into this'

yes, the site above is the reason that i'm asking about this. but, i prefer a 2nd source confirmation. gotta verify.

the Far East Suite has many good movements. and the b&W suite on film which has the choir singing around the bed of the dying woman. i believe it's the first one on this video: Duke Ellington and his orchestra, 1929-1941 : stars of the Cotton Club. 1. Black and tan (1929) -- 2. Symphony in black (1934) -- 3. Hot chocolate (1941).

Lenny White 'Venusian Summer' 1975 is larry young on only one tune on this album.

the miles davis 1964 appearance on the steve allen show exists on video.

there is a second sax. tenor. because there is a rhythm section, this is the most accessable lancaster as-leader show that i've heard. this show is unissued.
