And most of them were jigsaw puzzles, in a way. As I understand it, the vast majority of what Kinkade's galleries sold were reproductions (of his own original paintings) that were hand-painted by trained artist 'replicators' (not sure what else to call them) -- and then he would personally sign each one, and literally add a couple brush-strokes of his own to the reproduction. Nothing seemed weirder to me (and I mean it, downright creepy) than knowing dozens of 'trained replicator' artists spent years turning out hundreds (or thousands?) of copies of his paintings every year. My wife's mother has at least a couple of his paintings hanging in their house, and my wife and I lived in fear every year at Christmas that she might have decided to give us one as a gift, which we would then have to hang in our home (gack). Fortunately that never happened, but there was a couple years there 10 years back when we were seriously concerned. EDIT: My wife just reminded me that her mom had a specific painting all picked out and ready to purchase, and that she (my wife) had to politely but very firmly telegraph that we really were just fine in the art department -- and that we really (really) didn't need any paintings, thank you much. (I'd forgotten it had ever gotten so close to an actual gift, but I guess it did.)

The single most disappointing thing I've ever heard with either Lee Morgan or Billy Harper. Iirc, weren't all of Humphrey's parts (including solos) fully written-out? Yeah, I think this is the only time this has appeared on CD. Applause issues of Blue Note titles are among the very worst sounding things ever. I've seen 6 or 7 different titles over the years, and they always sounded like 5th generation cassette dubs using a cassette deck badly in need of having its head's cleaned.

Yeah, but specifically 1) the "Medina/Spiral"-era of Harold (i.e. the Harold of 1968) -- with 2) the "Miles Smiles"-era of Miles (i.e. the Miles of 1966). That, or else specifically the "when he was with Carmell Jones"-era of Harold (early 60's) -- with the "Four & More, Live in '64"-era of Miles.

FWIW, the rehearsal takes of Herbie's own "I Have A Dream" and "Speak Like A Child" from the 65-68 box are fascinating (as is our own David Weiss' recent take on Miles' take on "I Have A Dream). I would about kill to hear any other let's call them 'Miles-influenced' interpretations (real, or even imagined) of other Wayne and Herbie tunes from that era -- meaning compositions that Wayne and Herbie only recorded by them under their own leadership. And an absolute 'holy grail' for me would be the entire "Speak Like A Child" album done "2nd Quintet"-style. Yes, thinking about rewriting history is a perverse hobby of mine, but one can dream, can't they?

15 minute interview with Joe on PBS (Charlie Rose), from November 1997... CLICK Edit: Gack, listening to the interview, I'm reminded how little I listen to Charlie Rose interviews (and with good reason, to put it politely). At least Joe and Sco play, starting around the 9:20 mark, which is worth a listen.

Seems as good a place as any to post this, Bobby Hutcherson speaking at a tribute to Joe, at Yoshi's in July of 2001.

Was Joe ever in any version of the Jazz Messengers? I would have thought 'no', but he was for at least this one night...

And a full 50 minutes of INTERVIEW...

two clips, with Don Grolnick!!

two different clips (though performances of the same tune), both with the George Gruntz Big Band...

Here's parts 2 & 3 -- with part 1 up above -- comes to a total of 45 minutes.

A full 40(!) minutes of... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmicYq2MlE8

99% positive that Joe's in all three of these clips, but no soloing from Joe (again, drat! ). Thad Jones & Mel Lewis - The Groove Merchant (1968) Thad Jones & Mel Lewis - Once Around (1968) and this clip is entirely different than the first one (different concert)... "Groove Merchant" - Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Orchestra 1969 Edit: Joe is positively ID'ed in the last clip, as is the entire reed section.

OK, this doesn't fit my "pre-1975" goal, but here's footage of 8(!) tunes by Joe, from 1977. I think this group never recorded either, come to think of it... Steve Erquiaga - guitar; Ratzo Harris - bass; Mike Hyman - drums >>>> Joe Henderson Quartet Part (1 of 8) 1977 <<<< This link goes to a Youtube play-list that should automatically play all 8 tunes in sequence.

Here's some footage (from the same Youtube user), from I'm guessing 1973(?) - though still no solo from Joe ( ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWUKVBjXUWE Can anybody find ANY other "pre-1975"-era Joe Henderson footage??

Saw a used CD in the classical section years ago in Kansas City, with this composer's name on the spine... Franz Schuberth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qywMA_vrvsc Alternate upload of the same footage: horace silver 5 antibes feat. joe henderson roger humphries No solo from Joe ( ), but is there any other footage from this gig out there?? But it does include a great solo from Carmell Jones!! - and footage of him is not easy to find.

Holly crap, Andrew Hill in 1956!

Actually, a ton of interesting photos there. Did a search on Larry Young, and this came up! - certainly one I'd not seen before... "Larry Young on TV special with The Tony Williams Lifetime from Jazzhouse Montmartre Copenhagen, Denmark, June 1971." Edit: in case the image doesn't come through, here's another link.

From the article... Not sure, but I think there's a good chance that April 27th discussion may turn up here: http://press.org/news-multimedia/video.

Never a more fitting composer to get the 'multiple image' treatment.

That Greg Osby disc (Symbols of Light) is fantastic, one of my two or three favorite Osby discs - well worth checking out.

Swedish or Norwegian?

Since the books are all already sold, just give another update stating that the "bboks" are also all sold, and that should about cover it.

Most memorable, roughly in chronological order: Either/Orchestra (my very first ever jazz concert, circa 1990, in a club in my college town of 35,000) Sun Ra Arkestra 3 or 4 times (including once with Sun Ra at The Cubby Bear in Chicago in 1991, getting to meet June Tyson and other Arkestra members between sets -- and then hearing the Arkestra (sans Ra) 2 or 3 times in Kansas City in the late 90's) Joe Henderson (twice!) Dave Holland Quintet (twice) Jackie McLean Bobby Hutcherson Greg Osby with Jason Moran (3 times) Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter (that dreaded 'duo' tour), then later Herbie w/ Gary Thomas (much better! - and Thomas is a favorite), and Wayne's current quartet (OMG!) Brad Meldau (trio once, and also solo recently) Chick Corea playing his own piano concert (with the Kansas City symphony) John Hicks in Bobby Watson's group in Kansas City once Andrew Hill! Sam Rivers! Grachan Moncur playing recently, backed by those AMAZING Mark Masters octet charts (heaven!) Billy Harper & Eddie Henderson on the same gig. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others of importance, but those are the first ones that come to mind.
