Got an email about this from Blue Note. And I guess I've been asleep at the wheel, did not realize Don Was had become president of Blue Note. Don't think that can be a good thing, can it? http://www.bluenote.com/spotlight/donald-byrd-live-at-montreux-july-5-1973 Blue Note Newsletter To view in your web browser, click here DONALD BYRD, LIVE AT MONTREUX JULY 5, 1973 As a special tribute to this Jazz Immortal and as a gift to the legions of aficionados who, like all of us at Blue Note Records, treasure the music he's left behind, we are honored to present - for the first time - Donald Byrd, Live at Montreux from July 5, 1973. As teenagers in Detroit during the 1960s, my friends and I regarded Donald Byrd with the same lofty respect reserved for other hometown musical heroes like Smokey Robinson, The MC5, Elvin Jones, Mitch Ryder, Aretha Franklin and John Lee Hooker....they were all amazing artists who were changing the face of music by exporting the sounds of our city to the rest of the world. The music of Donald Byrd was ubiquitous back then...cats like the legendary Motor City jazz disc jockey, Ed Love, would hit tracks like "Nai Nai" from "Free Form" and "Christo Redentor" from "A New Perspective" on a nightly basis...Later on, in the 1970s, Mr. Byrd started adding a healthy dose of Detroit-style funk to his records and his innovative music could be heard blasting out of dashboard mounted 8 track players and back seat subwoofers all over town...He was a Motor City Trumpet Revolutionary and his timeless music will never be forgotten. Shortly after Mr. Byrd's passing on February 4th, we got an email from the noted British music icon, Gilles Petersen, inquiring about a legendary performance from 1973's Montreux Jazz Festival. Blue Note's Curator-In-Chief, Michael Cuscuna , told us that it had, indeed, been recorded and subsequently mixed for release by Bob Belden in 1999. Inexplicably, it has remained hidden in the Blue Note vaults - until now. The tapes are wonderful and reveal a far more raw and gritty side to Donald Byrd's 70's music than his studio recordings might suggest....

Ol' wooden ears is in for a DL

You should be able to go through the moves just as on amazon.com, login also should work, address and all should be there already ... if you need help, drop me a pm, but I'm signing off for the night just now. Got it done, thanks. 32.03eu + 5.46eu shipping to USA, so 37.49eu total, which is $49.50. Amex will add on their $2.50 or so, which puts it at $52 for 35 albums on 20 CD's.

So what's the most economical and practical way to get this box if you live in the USA and can't read German?

Miles Bootleg vol. 2 new $22.95 + $2.98 shipping from amazon marketplace sellers, if you don't mind waiting for delivery from UK.

"See What You Can Do With That Teo - Part 3". Parts 1 and 2 were entitled "At Fillmore" and "Live-Evil". Parts 4 and beyond would continue to come out the next few years.

and of course that is such a great pairing because the feel of the albums are so identical...

OTOH, I don't own the Carter/Bradford or the Steig, have never even heard them, and can't wait to pick them up. Daley is totally unknown to me, so would be less of a priority.

'Kooper Session' with Al Kooper is a good one.

PM sent on the Bradford/Stevens set and the Threadgill box.

Some of the heavily orchestrated Creed Taylor stuff with Don Sebesky arranging. In my youth, it sounded "commercial". Still just OK with the Bob James arrangements, and still don't like the David Matthews arrangements.

PM sent on Teddy Edwards - It's About Time (Fresh Sound) $7

I remember hearing a story about Art Blakey being with a very young band of his in the studio. It was not going well because the young players were nervous, and he told them "If you play a wrong note, play it loud, and then play it again, and they'll think that's what you meant to play". And I saw Javon Jackson spend a whole show with the Harper Brothers (Penn's Landing in Philly, circa 1989) where he seemed to be doing exactly that.

PM sent on Miles Davis & Gil Evans - Complete Columbia Studio Recordings 6CD Metal spine $25

New Under $27 shipped from Amazon.com resellers now. Mine was $23.77 + $2.99 shipping from Avatar Music.

Power to the Multiple Canyon Lady People Elements at the Lighthouse in Japan!

I'm a big fan of the live album with Leon Thomas. Also of what he did for Gato Barbieri on the 27 minute title track of 'Swiss Suite'. And Danny Moore is pretty great on that album, too.

REISSUED Spacey improvisational ECM PIPE ORGAN music!

I love the conception of the title track on "Free Form". He had quite a career.

Spacey improvisational PIPE ORGAN music!

Understand that there is zero "jazz" content to this release. If Jarrett the classical guy is appealing to you, go for it.

If we're changein the rules to include live cuts, then Billy Harper's 31 minutes of "Cry of Hunger". And Lee Morgan "Absolutions" from 'Live at the Lighthouse'.

Muhal Richard Abrams - Young at Heart (29:20).
