Sad news. RIP

Damn! RIP

Happy to help!

Wow, I didn't realize that the bluenote board archives still exist.

That was one of the very first books that I read about the Blues, and I still consider it to be one of the best. I PMed you.

Luckily, I have everything ripped and don't play CDs much anymore. But this is still a problem. If I had everything is alphabetical order, I could find stuff a lot better. Instead, I have this fetish of having everything in complicated suborders that approximate the chronological, stylistic, and geographic significance of each artist. I have no trouble locating my CDs of major artists who made lots of them (in my collection). But it is the more obscure artists, or artists for whom I have few CDs, that can be hard to locate.

Very sad to hear this. RIP Ebo Taylor.

I just re-listened to the first recording. While sound is indeed terrible at the very beginning, it gets significantly better. Loud audience voices are the primary distraction. The music is fantastic.

Thanks, Romualdo! I actually downloaded at lot of that first session somewhere online. I can't remember where. I don't have any of the second session, where I presume the pending Giant Steps and Satellite are coming from.

Yes, and now we need Mosaic to come along and do the exact same thing that they did for the Dean Beneditti recordings!

The Sparks Brothers first recorded it in the 1930s under its current title. Memphis Slim reworked it somewhat, although he called the song "Nobody Loves Me."

Yes, there is one on YouTube. Somehow I missed it.

Actually, my reaction was just the opposite. Holy shit!! As far as I know, there have so far been no known Coltrane live recordings of either of those two songs. Am I wrong?

Yea, it took me a long time to get through it. But, as Jim says, it does have value. A lot of work and research went into it.

It's about time, isn't it?
