Even though Stanley Clarke was pictured on the cover of the earlier album, it is not considered to be his date. I tried arguing with AMG editors to no avail, they said that's what the label gave them. I was often bored with the solos.

One thing Rollins did when Harkit started selling his live performances was to copy them and sell them as downloads on his own website. That's one way to beat the thieves, as Frank Zappa did with his two "Beat the Boots" boxed sets. European copyright law may be different, but it is still a form of legalized theft, the way I see it. Sort of like the eminent domain abuse approved in the infamous Kelo vs. the City of New London Supreme Court decision, where the five pinheads couldn't comprehend the value of private property.

Ed Palermo said that Gail has complained about his performing Frank's music. It's a shame, because he does a decent job with it.

The suite may have been Slickrock. It knocked me out when I heard Zeitlin performed live at the 2002 IAJE conference. I also have a duo version from a European broadcast that features David Friesen.

I'll have to admit I was sent a copy several years ago. It was very cheaply printed, with the type varying in clarity from page to page, often not parallel to the top of the page. It made it a chore to read and I finally gave up and threw it out. It comes off as a bit of a self-serving rant, though I'm sure that some of the claims Fischer makes about how the non-profit was undermined are true.

I would think that specific sales figures would be considered proprietary information by Mosaic.

Thread should be deleted.

I've always enjoyed Mulligan's "K4 Pacific," which I think appeared for the first time on The Age of Steam. I agree that the CD/DVD put out by John Snyder on Artist House is worth tracking down. I was rather frustrated when Concord failed to issue any of Mulligan's big band selections on the CD with Mel Torme and George Shearing (The Classic Concert Live). "K4 Pacific" should have been included, as it was played (I taped the NPR Jazz Alive! broadcast of the show).

I googled one song and found this link: http://everynote.com/songs.show/127605.note Ernesto Di Curtis is credited with writing both words and music, is this it?

I would be extremely careful about using AMG for composer credits, as it depends on what was listed on the CD or LP. As we all know, that information is often wrong or incomplete. I think I mentioned this in another thread, but one Steeplechase CD last year listed Thelonious Monk as composer for John Coltrane's "Locomotion," while the liner note writer made the same mistake.

Probably just a typo, but the Teddy Wilson is Verve material. He never recorded for Pacific Jazz, to my knowledge. Good luck with the Stuff Smith. It went out of print early because of legal complications, but it's a great set. I have a sealed copy of Cat on a Hot Fiddle available if you're interested (which went oop in March 2007), PM me.

Sounds like this second book gets carried away with the use of "masters." It gets a bit useless if everyone who has been at it a couple of decades is now a "master."

Pardon me, but I'll ignore Van Morrison this time around, too. I've never liked his singing. Nothing is more pathetic than his attempts to sing on a Chet Baker DVD, reading the words off the sheet music, as does the much overhyped Elvis Costello.

Don't forget that there is a track or two on the LP Here and There that did not appear on the three individual LPs nor the three LP Great Concert of Eric Dolphy LP boxed set.

It looks like CNN is at fault for the sloppy research. There is no mention of Duke Ellington being the "First African-American" on a U.S. coin at www.usmint.gov.

A new Duke Ellington commemorative quarter is being issued today, which CNN.com proudly proclaims marks "The First African-American to appear on a U.S. Coin." I don't know if the CNN reporter was totally inept at research or the U.S. Mint goofed in their press release, but Booker T. Washington appeared on a 1946 commemorative half dollar in 1946, while Washington and George Washington Carver appeared together on a separate coin. I ought to know, I've owned each of these coins for decades. Here's the link: http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/24/duke.elli...coin/index.html

Don't forget Herb & Lorraine Geller plus Jimmy & Marian McPartland. And it probably won't be long before Bill Charlap and Renee Rosnes record together.

One thing that is frustrating about these listings--the lack of details. No list of personnel, venue is often not listed, no songs, etc. I have a number of these broadcasts and many are plenty easy to identify. db.etree.org is a far more detailed source for broadcast traders.
