What a piece of work... I read his blog a couple of months back. When he stopped getting free records from MM, he started bad-mouthing them. The SACDs of the corresponding material should sound the same as the MM vinyl. As was disclosed by the people who worked on these reissues, both were cut from the same source, at the same time.

Not the faux album cover, that is self-explanatory. I was asking about the photo I cropped and enlarged above it, with Pele looking at the sides. I think the annotation says Pele is chillin', listening to some tunes. I thought maybe it mentioned which records he was playing.

How's that Mendes record? Any good? Anyone understands Portuguese?

I'm assuming they are Brazilian. I want to know what music the King of futebol listened to. Maybe it'll make me a better player. That and losing 10 pounds. .

Is the German pressing also gatefold, like the original? As far as I know, this was put on cd only in Japan, under Jim Hall's name, and is going for big bucks now.

I just bought this LP, original CTI. A very-very enjoyable album. Highly recommended by moi.

I really enjoy Wade Legge's solo cd. His work with Rollins and Mingus was also first rate. Too bad he died so very young. STUDIO TRIESTE I'm spinning this one, and lovin' it. What a wonderful record! The playing, the arranging by Don Sebesky, are first class. Hubert Laws is shinning on Django. And Chet BAker is in fine shape. Just bought it a couple of weeks ago. This will be one of my favorites.

What is the best-sounding remastered cd or cd box set of his music?

We're going. A friend just hooked us up with some center-stage seats. Teremin, baby!

So there was a third album then! Great Scott!!

Ouch, so many originally-unissued tracks, more than enough for a third album. I seriously recommend picking up those two records or better yet, this 2cd set. I might just spring for it myself. Some really interesting stuff there. I wish Scott had recorded more. He was a force. BE contributions are largely secondary to the brass and clarinet front end, but he does provide elegant and thoughtful solos here and there.

Tony Scott - THE MODERN ART OF JAZZ original SEECO stereo. Bill Evans and Paul Motian as sidemen. Is this how they met? I also have Scott's FREE BLOWN JAZZ, co-credited to Jimmy Knepper, on CARLTON. Both LPs recorded on the same day, Nov.16,1957. I reckon both labels were under the same umbrella, or else one sold half of the session to another. Same exact personnel on both albums. Nice music. Is it on cd?

Rumor has it that's what she was listening to at the time

Not trolling. Just don't understand what you mean. That PF and SR have anything in common...don't hear any similarities, overt or otherwise.

Late to the party, as usual... Just read this interview, along with the NYT spread. My $.02. Hersch's playing, what I heard of it, is full of technical faculty, and short of much else. It's introspective, but not introspective enough; it doesn't swing where it has to, and it doesn't make me cry where it should. I'm also not keen on the persistent necessity of injecting his sexuality in both the interview and the article. Other than that, both were interesting reads. Wish him the best of health, and long years!

Rock own!

What is atmosperics?

Sounds like a book I might enjoy. Thanks for the snapshots, sgcim!

I don't know. It's just an anecdote. BillF thought it was sad, I think it was happy. Maybe after quitting playing he became a great farmer or a podiatrist or a firefighter. Do you have any examples of BE putting anyone down unjustly?I've read an interview with him in an issue of DownBeat from mid-1970s , seemed pretty level-headed.

On the contrary, Evans liberated this guy from wasting his life being a mediocre musician. So it's a happy story!

I am a PF fan, but I fail to see any connection between PF and SR. Yep, I listened to Agaetis Byrjun, and I'll be diplomatic....I know Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd was a friend of mine, and this is no Pink Floyd. Any other accepted post-rock masterpieces I should try?
