It's a promotional device, to draw traffic to their website and sell stuff. Labor of love, perhaps, but it serves a business purpose first and foremost, I'm sure. I too have scrolled through the Gazette having to look for things -- that's just the way it works. In the process I've often stumbled on things I hadn't expected, or overlooked the first time. And I've spent more time on the Mosaic website as a result, sometimes reminding myself of what their current offerings were (and checking out what's on the running-low and last-chance lists) -- all of which is the whole point of it.

Somewhere I have a CDR (audience recording that I acquired from gosh only knows where, as I honestly can't remember)... ...of just Geri and Wallace playing as a duo -- interpolating nearly the entirety of Birth of the Cool album -- from a performance at a Museum (iirc), some 20(?) years ago, give or take. Will have to dig it out, as a recalling it having been some really inspired and very creative playing by both of them. And "interpolating" is really the best word I could use to describe it, as it was really quite a free-form (and sometimes very "free-leaning") performance, iirc. RIP.

Goodness. I'm seeing she just turned 60 a couple weeks ago. Thoughts and prayers.

Holy cow, this is billed as "Max Roach and Northern Colororado University Big Band Montreux 1971", and the comments also mention George Cables. But (uncredited) it's none other than Charles Tolliver(!) conducting (and playing some, I now see too), and supposedly it's HIS tune/suite (according to a YouTube commenter). Am at work, haven't had the chance to listen super-closely to this yet (to see if I recognize the tune) -- and I'm now reposting this (from a few months ago, still haven't had the chance to really listen to this). Most of the brass section players are ID'ed in the YouTube comments too, FWIW.

Speak for yourself, cuz I'm definitely 20 lbs heavier than I was back in the 1990's.

Hmmm, I was only aware of the Sunday Gazette (which seem to come 2 or maybe 3 times a month).

Here seems to be a live version. Very nice!! (And I know this tune quite well, having owned (and loved) Seeds of Time on CD for a good 20-going-on-25 years.)

How deep/good is the late 60's coverage in this book? If there's much about Speak Like a Child -- and The Prisoner (especially!) -- I may need to get this. (Just finding out about this book now, searching for Prisoner-related stuff, to contribute an all-Herbie thread on the Steve Hoffman board.)

I'm intrigued by piano trio (and other solo piano, or guitar-trio, solo-guitar, or groups fronted by vibes, etc..) versions of tunes that are MUCH better known in versions that have one or more horns on the front line (as in their de facto performance line-up would include one or more horns). For instance, piano-trio versions of tunes by Charles Tolliver (of which I've stumbled on a couple), and the like. Anyway, here's a damn fine one I just discovered a couple days ago. Please list some more of your favorites, and YouTube links too (if you can). Larry Willis w/ Buster Williams and Al Foster -- "I Have a Dream" (Herbie Hancock) ...and Jimmy Ponder covering "Milestones" on solo guitar...

Jim, you of all people HAVE to see the recent documentary "Obit" -- about The NY Times 'obit' department. Saw it here in DC in a theater a month ago, and it was one of the best documentaries I'd seen in a good while.

Some info/speculation that it may NOT even be Herbie at all (or anyone from his group), from THIS THREAD over at the Steve Hoffman board (where there's a long Herbie thread going on, and I posted it over there too). (And whoever the trombone player is, he's got that insanely aggressive tone that Garnett Brown has at times.) Link above (which goes to the plosin "Miles Ahead" site) has this info... Graham Collier Group Pinède, Antibes March 21, 1969 (2 items; TT = 24:54) Pinède, Antibes Source/Quality: RB (B+) Harry Beckett (tpt); Nick Evans (tb); Stan Sulzmann (ss, ts); Stanley Cowell (p); Graham Collier (b); John Marshall (d) 1 Unknown Title 12:16 2 Aberdeen Angus (G. Collier) 12:38 According to Stan Sulzmann, Karl Jenkins, Collier's regular keyboard player, had to miss this gig because of the death of his father, and Stanley Cowell was enlisted to play in his place. Thanks to Terry Sullivan for help with this session.

Sounds more like Garnett Brown to me, than it does Priester (I love Brown's tone on Booker Ervin's Heavy!!! for instance). And the trumpeter doesn't sound much like Eddie Henderson to me, and does sound a bit like someone who at least plays a bit more like Coles to me. FWIW.

Well lookie, lookie what I just stumbled across on YouTube, 25 minutes of LIVE Herbie from Antibes, July 24, 1969. We all know the two sets of Miles from these concerts have been issued, and I know there's a full set of Bobby Hutcherson from one these same concerts too (that I've had on a nice silver-disc greymarket boot for years). But until just tonight, I had no idea Herbie had even played at this event. Cut-n-pasted the info below (all in red) from the YouTube description. I concur that it's Johnny Coles and Garnette Brown, which both seem very clearly them, to my ears. Definitely NOT Joe Henderson (if it were, I'd be in absolute heaven with this! -- but it's a hell of a find, as is, either way). And so I agree that it could very easily be Bennie Maupin. Also, "Tootie" seems as logical a guess as any on drums. Can anyone ID the two tunes?? Published on Mar 7, 2017 Recorded at the Jazz Festival Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, July 24, 1969 I don't have much information about this record, maybe someone can help me out. Excerpt of the concert: 1 unknown Track 2 unknown Track (starts at 12:20) Herbie Hancock (p) Johnny Coles (flugelhorn) Garnett Brown? (tb) Joe Henderson? Bennie Maupin? (ts) Buster Williams (b) Albert "Tootie" Heath? (dr)

Whole album seems to be on Youtube now...

I think I'm pretty much the same. Maybe one package (one at most) in 30 years, but even then, I can't remember what (or even if there really ever was one). Never had an airline loose my suitcase either (and I've flown 2-3 times a year since I was in my mid-20's).

Ahhh... April? 1969: Woody Shaw-t; Tyrone Washington-ts; George Cables-p; Scotty Holt-b - Wollman Auditorium, Columbia University, NYC (February 24, 1969) [db 3/20/69 p.15] - Loeb Student Center, New York University, NYC (March 3, 1969) [db 3/20/69 p.15] - Fillmore East, NYC (March 9, 1969) [db 3/20/69 pp.14, 52] Black Bottom, Montreal, Canada (April? 1969) [Coda 6/69 p.34] Café La Boheme (early April-early May 1969) [Voice] [this is questionable considering the below activity]

I recently often (always?) had trouble getting to the Bee Hive disco, and usually (always?) had to finally google it. Just the basic discography, I wasn't trying to get to the printed one.

I've had the same problem, though I think it varied from set to set (the discography came up for some, and not for others). I could have sworn it worked sometimes for specific set, and not at other times for the same set - but I could never discern a pattern (like it worked on my phone, and not on my laptop). Anyway, you're not alone.

I hate -- really hate -- having to keep track of downloads. The idea of having to back-up music I've purchased, and somehow have it survive multiple software and OS upgrades over the next 20-30, or even hopefully 40 years -- seems like insanity. Though I suppose expecting there'll be machines to play my shiny discs that far in the future is a gamble too. In any case, anything I download, I expect to only be able to enjoy 5 or maybe 10 years at best.

That was about my same experience getting the Bee Hive set a couple weeks ago - about 2 weeks and maybe a day or two. Didn't get a shipping notice per se, but I think I did get an email to the effect that it was in the shipping dept's hands and that it would ship in 5-7 days. If their communication isn't 100%, especially with this influx of orders, no great worry far as I'm concerned. I'm just glad they're getting enough increased business that they're kind of backed up in shipping for a change.

Just saw this on the Dusty Groove site... https://www.dustygroove.com/item/844308 It's a grey-market release (or so I've heard told), but it's very (very!) high-quality (I own one myself, back when they first became available), with surprisingly decent liner-notes, and it's on a silver-CD (not a CDR) -- probably as good as you're likely to ever see any of the Horo material on CD.

I posted this in the "Hey kids, Mosaic's in trouble!" thread, but also wanted to mention it here... I've really been enjoying the Bee Hive box I got on Wednesday. Have spun about 60% of it (discs 3-4, & 6-10), and everything so far has been a very solid 7/10, with a couple albums closer to 8/10. A very consistent set, with a number of real winners. Anyone interested but on the fence, I'd suggest going for it.

What's this the cover too? Looks like something I should probably know. EDIT: Found it via the URL of the image, and here 'tis!

Anyone here happen to have a line on this?? http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/looking-for-a-jazz-tune.672600/ I am hoping someone can assist. My (Steve Hoffman Forum member "CybrKhatru") late father was a huge jazz fan.. he's half (or more than half!) the reason I love jazz too. I knew a lot of his favorites, and many of them became mine as well. He made many mix tapes from his collection, and one of them had a tune that I cannot find ANYWHERE. Sadly, he's no longer here for me to ask. Even when he was alive I think I asked him about this track and he didn't remember whom it was! The song SOUNDS like Tony Williams' "LAWRA", but this piece is slowed down and has a slightly altered melody. It's similar, so I'm wondering if someone else covered and recorded this in the 70s.80s with a quintet lineup (trumpet, sax, piano, bass, drums). It's NOT the original Tony recording, and it's NOT the two live VSOP takes. I have already ruled them out. (Tony's original has no horns, and the VSOP versions are too fast). Can anyone help me here? Or make any suggestions?
