If I could use something from The Trainwreck, I could at least be assured that there was almost near certainty it was indeed MY phone that was ringing.

Happy day!! How many more b-days for you *this* year!!

Oh, I had the impression that these were the color separations. Looking at them again, though, clearly they are just regular negatives as best I can tell anyway. Thanks for pointing that out, Chuck!

I presume these are actual album-cover size, correct? (Can't imagine they wouldn't be.) If Black Fire was among the lot, I can't say for sure that I wouldn't be bidding.

Jimmy Heath - really?

PM sent on Speak No Evil. Thanks!

Much love for Black Love!!

This is a FANTASTIC date!

The more adventuresome 3rd of this set had way, WAY more meat on the bone than I was ever expecting (about half of which was previously unreleased) -- in part because of energetic, interesting group interplay (the members of the trio bouncing off each other). And another third was still pretty tasty, mostly because of cool originals and/or modern standards I already liked. And the last third was a little more "sleepy".

...and actually, I think the previously unreleased material from the Zeitlin Select is often some of the more/most interesting material on the set. Definitely among the more challenging selections on the set!

A good bit of the Zeitlin is among THE most interesting 60's piano-trio recordings I've yet heard. Reminds me I've been meaning to program a single-disc of the more/most progressive and -- maybe 'agressive' isn't quite the right word (nor is 'in your face') -- but more forward-thinking tunes from the Zeitlin. Put 'em all on one disc, mostly the higher-energy stuff, and a few choice covers (Maiden Voyage). Really top-notch stuff. Get it while you can!

I'd always hoped some 60's footage of Woody with Horace Silver might turn up some day. Either with Joe Henderson, or better yet, with Tyrone Washington!

Whoa!! Footage of Woody Shaw from the 60's!!

The Zeitlin is fantastic, grab it while you can!!

How early is the early footage? Hope to check this out soon, more likely in a day or two than tonight.

So, what Worrell leader-dates are recomended? I used to have Funk of Ages, and remember liking it quite a bit (no idea what happened to my copy). From Wikipedia... 1978: All the Woo in the World 1991: Funk of Ages 1993: Pieces Of Woo: The Other Side 1993: Blacktronic Science 1997: Free Agent: A Spaced Odyssey 2007: Improvisczario 2009: Christmas Woo 2010: I Don't Even Know 2011: Standards

Wow, solo piano! - this could be very interesting!

Infinity is my favorite Lee/Jackie pairing, and (IMHO)!maybe the finest straight hard-bop date with Lee's name on the spine.

Probably the most eye-opening Lee date -- for me -- was Larry Young's "Mothership". Some really amazing playing! ...and not just because of the context (for me, Young's most progressive date), but Lee really steps up. Hadn't ever thought of this before, but I sure wish Lee had recoded on a Tyrone Washington leader date. At least we do have him on Hill's "Grass Roots" and "Lift Every Voice" -- the later being probably the more interesting (for me)

Won't be long until 16-Aug-2018 gets here! :-)

Re: Zappa, in addition to "The World's Greatest Sinner", he also composed the score to the 1965 film "Run Home Slow". Here are the opening credits, with a theme Zappa revisited a few times over the years following... ...and given the thread topic, I guess I'll mention that this is totally safe-for-work. :-) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oEP0huRwDyc

Zappa, really? I thought he did an audio-only project (a commission, iirc), that was deemed 'pornographic' by the local authorities -- or something like that. I'm not as deeply steeped in Zappa lore as I once was 10-15 years ago, so my claim is certainly not authoritative.

I agree. I would think anyone under 35 or 40 who knows about Herbie, might easily not know of his connection to Miles.

After Wayne left, the saxophone chair never became much of a focus for me with any of Miles' 70's bands. Some are certainly better than others, but they are clearly not the linchpin holding everything together -- nor the primary draw, by any means.
