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?

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.
