I've never seen Lebowski either, I'm afraid.

Can any of these silences be added to fix some of Keith Jarrett's more vociferous recordings?

Wondering if any footage of him in Death of a Salesman will ever surface? Hadn't realized he was ever in a production of Salesman, and in retrospect, he would have been amazing to see in a live theatre setting. (Or if any significant live footage of him on-stage, for that matter.)

Third. Huge loss. I imagine he elevated every film he was in - certainly those I saw.

Couldn't resist the UK price from Amazon, pre-ordered.

Footprints in 1970?!! Crazy! Never even knew he ever played the tune after early '69. (Well, other than that one all-star gig in Paris(?) in '91.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3inZNj3ZcQ

Best guess as to the year this is from? Will definitely be checking this out later.

Now THAT's tempting! Thanks for the tip!

The first Japanese edition that came out in the early 90s was only seven discs, because they cut a couple solos here and there (slightly) probably bass solos. 95% of the music is the same as the US, but the US edition is just slightly longer here and there on a couple of disks, if I remember correctly.

Thanks Chuck, appreciate the offer. Truth be told, I'd really love to read all the reviews from those two years - and probably half the articles too, for that matter. Anything/everything about the usual suspects you know I obsess over -- but really almost anything from those years that I (admittedly) fetishize. Which is to say I'm not sure I have as much one specific interest -- as I do MANY general interests from that specific period. But thanks! - I do appreciate the offer.

About a year ago, I inherited my uncle's complete collection of Downbeats, starting with the April 8th, 1965 issue (all the way up through 1987) -- so 20+ years worth, complete. I'd LOVE to supplement my collection by obtaining the complete years of 1963 and 1964, and also the first three (3) months of 1965 (which would complete that year for me). Any advice for how to track down a couple full years worth of DB's? - like I need - short of looking on eBay for what I imagine might take quite a long time? All my very earliest favorite Blue Note titles came out in 1963 and 1964 -- so while it might be a challenge to find 2.25 years worth -- I figure that's a lot less impossible than going all the way back to 1957, for instance. Anyone here have any to offer? - or any leads? (Or should I try to buy them all, one by one --which would be almost 60 specific issues.) Am also curious what others here think might be a "reasonable price" for such a purchase? What's the "going rate" these days? - particularly for complete years of DB from the 60's?

If you stayed that long I hope you bought a book or at least a coffee. I did! -- Second Story Books here in DC -- best used classical CD selelection of any store I've frequented in maybe forever. I rarely get out of there spending any less than $50, mostly on music.

Let's just say this -- early, middle or late -- I've never heard a Don Cherry release where he plays trumpet pretty much exclusively, that wasn't well worth hearing. At least to my ears.

Heard all of Pink Floyd's "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" in a used bookstore here in DC a few months ago. Not jazz, but it was the highlight of my day!

Nearly all the Old & New Dreams dates (there's four, right? - but only four, I think) are all worth having. Some of the best 'post-Ornette' Cherry I know. Also really liked his (few) collaborations with Sun Ra -- also a great context for him to appear in.

I seem to remember a piano concerto of Davis' (with the Kansas City Symphony, probably initially why I first picked it up), which I remember having enjoyed. Not sure if I kept it when I trimmed 2,000 discs before moving to DC -- I should look this week. (I was ruthless in what I cut from my classical CD's -- over half my classical got the axe.)

Looking up to confirm that the original Star Trek theme was a m7 (and not M7), I stumbled on the following - which may be helpful... http://www.people.vcu.edu/~bhammel/theory/resources/macgamut_theory/songs_interval_recognize.html http://music.tutsplus.com/articles/boot-camp-for-your-ear-detecting-intervals-with-song-associations--audio-4118 http://www.earmaster.com/products/free-tool/interval-song-chart-generator.html The last one has Youtube links to all the examples, and appears to even let you build a custom page with just the specific examples you select.

Ditto, and (iirc) all piano-less too! -- a very 'open' sounding group, really top drawer.

LOVE that Johnny Dyani leader-date, which I rank among Cherry's finest. Remind me what he did with Dollar Brand? (Thanks in advance!). And, was it all/mostly trumpet? - or another Cherry as multi-instrumentalist sort of date (which I don't mean to seem derisive about, even if that isn't my preferred Cherry incarnation).

Agree, "Complete Communion" is in my all time top 10 Blue Note list too! Similar feelings about the later material too. Love his very last studio date, though, on ECM. "Dona Nostra" iirc.

Me too!

Does Cherry play lots of trumpet on either or both dates? Or (judging from the line-up listing), is he all over the map with a little of everything. FWIW, Caprice is definitely a legit lable -- I have/have had a number of classical, jazz, and even Swedish folk CD's on Caprice over the years. Do they have any other documents of "live" jazz recordings from the 60's or 70's (I'm naturally wondering).

It's not really a major "Joe Show" per se -- his soloing is never really way out front, in a "jazz" sort of way. But he plays on nearly the whole damn thing, and he's always there in the mix -- with that classic Joe tone.

I do really miss getting new Osby/Moran albums, FWIW. Not really "torn" about not getting Osby's more recent output. More disappointed about not getting new material that would be more to my liking.
