Are the in-line images showing up for you guys -- meaning visible within the thread? They were for me shortly after I uploaded them, but after I rebooted my PC here at work over lunch, now they're not. (I could go back and edit them out, because they're still taking up a huge amount of space -- just not showing -- and I could leave the imgur link to the album.) This is my first ever attempt uploading images to a hosting site, and then trying to link to them within the board software.

OK, I think I successfully scanned and uploaded the three (3) images of the interview -- since they were too big to upload directly to the Big O board, the whole album of images is here: http://imgur.com/a/k6zIl And here they are individually...

Been a good ten years since I first saw this photo, and immediately fell in love with it. SO cool to see Jimi in this kind of context, mixed in with other musicians like that. One of my favorite Hendrix pics, and certainly not very well known. Can't remember where I first saw it (and now I'm wondering).

This link claims "the most unusual feature of the track is an overdubbed brass section of two trumpets and two saxes, arranged by Larry Fallon." http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/artists/14238-jimi-hendrix-and-jazz Is "Larry Fallon" any sort of clue here? Is he perhaps one of the horn-players? Another idea, post this same question on the Steve Hoffman Forums (with the picture), and see if anybody there knows. Or maybe collectively they can come up with it (and knowing them, the colors of the baffles in the background, along with the particular combination of styles of microphones and microphone stands -- will all be a dead giveaway to some other clue, which will of course narrow it down considerably). EDIT: This link also mentions Larry Fallon as the arranger of the horns... https://books.google.com/books?id=JEdeJ6TcNM8C&pg=PA196&lpg=PA196&dq=jimi+hendrix+South+Saturn+Delta+horns&source=bl&ots=lfvQhhzf-x&sig=YOit6b0jzxsAobt8USng4rRT3j8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi90s2WgYvQAhUqsVQKHdqWA4c4ChDoAQhAMAc#v=onepage&q=jimi%20hendrix%20South%20Saturn%20Delta%20horns&f=false And this source says they were "four top New York session players" (and also mentions Fallon as the arranger)... https://books.google.com/books?id=o6ty_6SqPE4C&pg=PA106&dq=jimi+hendrix+South+Saturn+Delta+larry+fallon&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjR4Ov_govQAhXMzIMKHcuoAEQQ6AEIKjAC#v=onepage&q=jimi%20hendrix%20South%20Saturn%20Delta%20larry%20fallon&f=false EDIT2: Hell's bells, here's an interview with Larry Fallon about this specific session with Jimi. Fallon says (down at the bottom), he has no memory of who the horn-players were... http://jimihendrix.forumactif.org/t751-larry-fallon It's a couple pages of interview (and worth reading), but here's the main bit asking about who the players were... EXPERIENCE HENDRIX: Do you remember whom the four horn players you arranged were? LARRY FALLON: You know, I don't have the slightest idea. At this point, I don't really know. I hadn't heard that track since 1968 until about maybe a year ago, first time I heard it when I was first given a copy. Which was very upsetting because I really wanted to hear it.

It's an actual interview, almost three pages. I can probably scan at work this week, but not sure if I can upload pdf's to the forum.

To tell the truth, I would have loved to have heard what Elvin thought of Mitch Mitchell (more so than either Baker or Moon).

Someone on Reddit was looking for a copy of Elvin Jones' Blindfold Test (presumably for Downbeat), specifically where Elvin talked about Ginger Baker and Keith Moon. I have a complete set of DB's from early 1965 up through at least 1987 or maybe closer to 1990 (my uncle was a faithful subscriber, and I inherited his collection). So I probably don't need a copy, but I'm having trouble tracking down the exact date of the specific BF test in question. Google led me to the 12-Oct-1972 issue, which turns out to be Elvin's second DB BF test, but no mentions of Baker or Moon. That issue mentioned his earlier (first) BF test from 17-Nov-1966 -- but no dice there either (no surprise, being from '66). Anybody know which BF test Elvin would have discussed Baker and/Moon? (Anyone have a specific date?) Assuming Downbeat, but were any jazz publications doing BF tests over the years? Thanks!! PS: FWIW, the Reddit thread is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jazz/comments/58dsk0/where_to_find_elvin_jones_blindfold_test_with/

Love it, every bit as good as the earlier two Tolliver big band dates for Strata East.

Sad day. Amazing material that shouldn't be out of print.

Was there a (supposedly legit) "Billy Harper Fanclub" CD-R edition?

Grant Green doc? When'd that happen??

Knew this was in the works, but had lost track of the release date. Found myself in Best Buy on Sat, looking for something else, and stumbled on a copy on sale for $9.99. Hell of a recording!! - every bit as good as all the other BOG material released from these four concerts. Well worth picking up!

Irespective of availability, who's on the front line on these Horace Silver dates from 65/66? Surely Joe Henderson, and either Woody Shaw or Carmelle Jones (if I've got my time-line right). Or did either of these include anyone else instead?

From a 'glass is half full' perspective, I've sometimes thought how interesting it is to hear Byrd reacting to a situation so out of his more natural element. He may not fully rise to the occasfion, but it's nice (and I think interesting) to hear him reaching.

Is there a track-listing yet? 2 CD's, iirc. Very tempting!!

How's their earlier Freddie Hubbard date from ~1980? - the one with Phil Ranelin (and a live version of Giant Steps). I've been tempted by that one for a while, maybe now's the time.

These last couple Bootleg Series issues of Miles Davis material have been a bit of a surprise, especially Vol. 5 (mid-60's studio reels, with rehearsals and early/incomplete takes, including studio banter, etc...) So what other crazy things could Columbia plausibly have access to, that might make for some other interesting releases in this series? I know other discussions have focused on particular years of live recordings, but is there anything else that might be of interest that is pretty outside the box? Lets keep things at least semi-plausible, but dare to dream...

Can somebody remind me of all the various labels he recorded for the most regularly back in the 50's, 60's, and early 70's?? Blue Note and Impulse, of course, but I know there were others -- some of which I could half-remember right (and as many that I would probably get wrong). Could anyone hazard a guess at a list of said labels, in some rough order based of the number of albums he did for each (over his first 20-odd years in the business)? Trying to get my head re-wrapped around his total involvement in all that he did, especially back in the day. And maybe, then, (roughly) the years he was associated with each?

Yeah, me too. I must have 20-25 of them, all in various Mosaic boxes with the receipts for each purchase. Never planned it that way, just kinda made sense.

A lot of the on-line tributes to McLaughin mention that his was the grandfather of the whole Crossfire "in your face" style of political debate on television. But while often (always?) spirited, I always felt that the participants on the McLaughlin group were really debating things at a slightly different level than Crossfire ever got to (as I recall). Crossfire always seemed to be WAY more adversarial (and argumentative), among people who would likely never face each other again. Whereas the cast of characters on the McLaughlin group had a pretty core group of about 5-6 people, who knew they would mostly be facing each other again the week (or quite soon), and on a regular basis. So while the arguments were real, they were also a little more lighthearted. I don't want to overstate the significance of the show, but I thought it did elevate the discussion a bit, and highlighted (at least for me, in my younger days) some of the more classic arguments on both sides of many issues -- and early on helped me form some of the basis for my own political opinions (back in the 90's). Also, I have a fondness for PRINT-journalism types (as a sort of archetype), and most of McLaughlin's revolving cast of pundits -- practically all of them, in fact -- were print-columnists (and not TV-types). It was good to see them talking in real-time about issues, and NOT just spouting memorized (well-performed) sound-bites, like so many of the talking-heads on the cable-TV news shows are like today (though I too have said shows on TV in our household more often than not, especially in the run-up to elections). I for one will miss McLaughlin's charm (if you can call it that), and somewhat acerbic whit. RIP.

Another fantastic list worth noting -- this time "city-centric": Jazz Capitals Of America: A Bibliography http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/jazz-capitals-america-books/ Could it be added to as well?

I thought McLaughlin killed McLaughlin years ago. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/mclaughlin-halloween-cold-open/2869203

Still waiting...

That's for sure!

Yeah, that's been told too. I'm just remembering an email exchange I had (personally) years ago with Michael C., when he said that McLean/Tyrone tape was actually lost (which I've since always presumed was really "lost").
