I am one of those Grateful Dead fans who usually felt lukewarm toward Weir's contributions. But I know now that I used to underappreciate him. His counterpoint was often a valuable complement to Jerry Garcia's playing and Sugar Magnolia is a damn good song. RIP

RIP. I remember him from the time I was living in Paris. Thanks for posting.

I also joined in March, 2003. Some of us go back not only to the Blue Note Board and Jazz Corner, but to Jazz Central Station before that from the mid-1990s.

I think it is crazy that most AI programs will have it spit complete bullshit before ever admitting that it doesn't know the answer to any question. .

Very sad. RIP

I think that part of the problem is the way that it was presented. Maybe they should have called it: Jazz - The First Half Century." In that case, I might have felt moderately favorable toward it. But to exclude the next half century as if nothing was going on outside of Wynton Marsalis is absurd.

Interesting. For the case of the Pablo Box, I guess that it might have been too difficult for Eric Miller to admit that his "European Tour" box contained some music that wasn't even recorded in Europe.

As I recall, he wasn't. But I am not sure. Eric Miller was the one who put it together, and I believe he was defiant in the face of criticism.

The worst thing about it is that Pablo (1) did not consult with expert Coltrane discographers like Wild before issuing the set and (2) did not make corrections even after they were confronted with convincing evidence of the mistakes.

David Wild lists a corrected discography for the Pablo box on his website: Track Title Box Set Dates Previous Issue Correct Dates 1/1 Impressions Paris 11/18/61 Stockholm 11/23/61 Set #2 1/2 My Favorite Things Paris 11/18/61 Rhino R2-71255 The Last Giant Stockholm 11/23/61 Set #2 1/3 Blue Trane Stockholm 11/23/61 OK 1/4 Naima Stockholm 11/23/61 OK 1/5 Impressions Stockholm 11/23/61 OK 1/6 My Favorite Things Stockholm 11/23/61 OK 2/1 Mr. P.C.

Yea!

With all respect to Jackie...

Yea, I don't see that a CD comeback is in the cards. They will be collected by some only as artifacts, and the huge supply of many of them will keep prices low. With LPs, you have analog sound that some people still value, as well as attractive packaging. With the capacity of hard drives and computers so high, CDs no longer have much value as a storage of sound. People can talk all they want about their perceptions of "real product," but the bottom line is that real product is sound in this case, plus information that can also be digitalized.

I just heard this. It is an interesting concert, surprisingly "inside" all the way through. However, I can't help but feel that it doesn't live up to potential. If Rivers and Waldron had played together more often, there could have been a lot more.
