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?

Yes, happy b-day!! 73 is definitely still young, my Dad turns 90 next week!

I just bent/broke off two of the four tabs on the second disc of each 3-disc fat-boy on my Bee Hive set. Still(!!) surprisingly more than just a little tough to get out, but far preferable to "damn near impossible".

I got my Bee Hive box day before yesterday, and did get a sort of shipping notice from Scott in a really nice email, in reply to an email I'd sent when I first made the order. Haven't had the chance to spin but 3-4 discs. Damn, that second disc of every fat-boy box is nearly impossible to get out!! -- which I'd read here before, several times, but I never dreamed just HOW difficult it is to get out safely. Will have to break off two opposite tabs on each one (as someone suggested here).

I never connected with Soundgarden (SG) particularly, but I did genuinely like Audiosave -- better than either SG or Rage Against The Machine even (a minority opinion, I know). And he was clearly a hell of a vocalist. My wife has been SG fan going barck to the early 90's, so the news came as quite a surprise to her this morning on NPR at 6:30am.

Been a fair while since I've read Szwed's Sun Ra book, but I very specifically remember loving his Miles biography, with lots of insights I don't remember having read previously at that point. That, and he's just a damn good writer, iirc.

Just came out of an11am showing here in DC. Very impressed, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm not as deep into Trane as many here, I'm sure, but - I thought - the portrait rang very true. Tons of great photos, and the silent footage of him at home and such, and snapshots by friends on the road, and personal photos presumably by the family, all made for a very meaningful experience. It's been well over 15 years since I've seen any of the other Coltrane docs (aren't there two? - I vaguely remember more than one). Anyway, highly recommended.

At $29K(!), one would hope.
