At the Albuquerque concert there were 2 groups. The "opener" was a local group called The Rumble Trio (2 basses & tuba) augmented by a woman bassoon player from Los Angeles. They played 30 minutes of "noodling". Sam & his trio then played for the previously mentioned 35 minutes. Did get in all of his instruments. An "encore" was enthusiastically requested by the 100 or so people present. The person who runs The Outpost came out & apologized saying "there's a lot of altitude here". Sam was obviously having trouble breathing. Those were the only 2 groups that night, so I'm not sure I'd call it a festival.

That should be cool. I have no idea what was performed in Albuquerque as no song names were announced.

86 & sunny in Santa Fe.

Perhaps he'll have more stamina at Tucson altitude. I'd go.

According to the Mingus website it's supposed to be released in June.

The good news is that he signed the Mosaic booklet. He also played well. The bad news is that the set was 35 minutes(& there was no 2nd set), he looked alarmingly thin (to me), & he was obviously having trouble breathing presumably due to the altitude.

I'm seeing him in Albuquerque tonight. I guess I'll bring my Mosaic booklet along & see what happens.

Is the drummer Roy Haynes' grandson? I believe he's on the new Iyer Savoy CD.

Coincidentally I just started Wolves Eat Dogs.

It's on my short list.

I'm not a big fan. Sorry.

A little slower again this a.m., but not too bad.

Yes - much better.

I ordered from Dusty Groove & received shipping confirmation. It gets sent today.

I'm still getting intermittent error messages or failures when I try to go from thread to thread.

This is still not working properly.

Mine was more than $16, but i'm happy to get it.

Found & bought a new copy today.

It really doesn't matter to me. I do use my credit card more than I use PayPal. Incidentally, FWIW, my PayPal purchases go through my credit card(not my checking or savings account).

As well as an excellent cover, the music is fine too. Really!

BTW, where are they getting 20 cuts from on the Hope? I only count 17.

Very nice.

Great Mosaic set. Enjoy!

I like Harlem Blues. Besides the usual suspects (all mentioned previously), Young Men From Memphis is fun.
