I was thinking the same thing.

Here's one more.

Took a bit of digging to find it on the Concord site. The new issue will be called Live On The Sunset Strip (which doesn't come up when you search on Whiskey). (A number of typos in the press-release style product description.)

I've got (or at least had) a Lee Morgan Left Bank date from about '68? - on FreshSound, if I remember. The piano was so horribly out of tune, I think I gave it to a friend. It was one of those CD's I put on the trade pile, would look at it a month or two later and think there was no way I could get rid of a live Lee Morgan date, then I'd put it on, which would immediately remind me why I'd put it on the trade pile in the first place. Did that sequence twice, if I recall, before I finally got rid of it (unless i still have it, I'd have to dig for it to confirm).

Pretty sure they're couw's designs. Sammich!

Has "Spanish Bitch" ever been issued on CD?

Anything with Nils Petter Molvaer (trumpet) could be interesting. Saw him live in Washington D.C. just last June - at a Nordic Jazz Festival kind of thing, at the Swedish Embassy. It was just Molvaer, and a sound-effects guy (don't mean to dis the 2nd guy with that description, but he was doing all kinds of electronic stuff, none of it with a keyboard though). Very ethereal, but beautiful and lyrical. The two Molvaer leader dates I have are wonderful (both on ECM), though I have to be in the right mood to want to hear them. A lot of his ideas remind me of Don Cherry, but with more of Miles' lyricism and coolness -- all backed with spacey and sometimes beat-driven 'ECM-ness'. Anyone else think highly of Molvaer??

Here's some infamous ones...

I've forgotten the specifics of their rationale... ...but somebody I know on this board thinks that Lee was VERY likely headed into doing work with the Mizell Brothers.

Thanks! Looks interesting.

Just out of curiosity, what was the Parlan disc? (Not aware there was a DVD of material with him.)

I was just wondering if I'd ever "heard" that newbie's "voice" before myself.

No ideas about where to research, 'cept to say that my grandfather (my dad's father) and Miles' father were both dentists in East St. Louis at the same time (likely two decades or more). My father and Miles were both born the same year too ('26), so I'm wildly assuming (because of that), that they were within 10 years of each other (age-wise). 15+ years ago I asked my grandmother if she thought there was any chance that Miles' father and my grandfather ever had any reason to know of each other, or cross paths. She said, essentially, that since they were of different races, that the likelihood of them knowing each other was extremely slim (to none). (My grandmother (father's mother) was born in 1897, and lived a full and wonderful 100 years, passing away in late 1997.)

Just scared the crap out of my wife when I showed this to her. El Camino del Rey (6 minute youtube clip) If you don't have time to watch the whole thing, at least take a look at these specific parts (all from the same Youtube clip as above)... 1:20 - 1:40 4:40 - 5:00 5:35 - 6:00

OK, we have a winner. My wife likes Nikita best of all. She liked Nica (2nd best), and Tasha (or Natasha) 3rd best. BTW, I found the origins and meaning of Nikita on-line, and discovered that Nika (with a 'k', not a 'c' - but pronounced the same way, as in "Nica's Dream") is a closely related name to Nikita (source and source). And at least one claims "Nika" is used as a name for Russian pets, as a shortened or 'diminutive' form of "Nikita". (source: "Nika (Russian pet form) and Nikki (Dutch and English pet form) are variants of Nikita.") So she might get called 'Nika' from time to time as well, as a nickname.

Well, gosh. Not less than an hour ago I just listened to the Complete Birth of the Cool (Mike was on the live material), and heard Symphony Sid mention Zwerin's name a couple times. The disc is still in my car stereo, ready to pick up where it left off. RIP

Everything in 7/4?? I'm totally there!!

Great album, lots of fun. I think it only came out on CD in Europe and/or maybe the UK. Don't recall it ever being available stateside.

Does Ornette really play on a track on this Bruce Hornsby box set?? - Intersections 1985-2005. The AMG thinks so.

Boots/tapes of him sitting in with the Dead exist (one of their free tune, isn't that the 'space jam'? -- and one 'conventional' tune), live on stage when Prime Time opened for them. Among the only recordings of the Dead I own, on cassettes I haven't seen nor listened to in 15+ years.

:tup :tup

Why can't you have a coffee maker? Starbucks make a big deal out of their new instant coffee several months ago (within the last year, at most). Never tried it myself.

OK, so a few months ago I stumbled into a free copy of the Jazz Heritage (JH) issue of "The Fabulous Fats Navarro", which really isn't like the other non-JH albums of the same name (near as I can tell), or maybe only partially so. The CD I have is nearly ALL Tadd Dameron compositions (save for one), and has the following... 26-Sep-47 -- takes plus alternates of The Chase, The Squirrel, Our Delight, and Dameronia - with Fats, Earnie Henry (as), Charlie Rouse (ts), Tadd, and the rest of a rhythm section. (produced by Alfred Lion) 18-Jan-49 -- Sid's Delight and Casbah - with Fats, Kai Winding (tb), Sahib Shihab (as), Dexter Gordon (ts), Cecil Payne (bs), Tadd, a rhythm section, two percussionists, and Rae Pearl on vocals (Casbah only). (produced by "Capitol Records" according to the JH issue.) and 21-Apr-49 -- John's Delight, What's New (Haggart-Burke), Heaven's Doors are Wide Open, and Focus - with Miles Davis (no Fats), J.J. Johnson (tb), Benjamen Lundy (ts), Cecil Payne (bs), John Collins (g), Tadd, and rhythm section. (produced by "Capitol Records" according to the JH issue.) Interestingly, the third date has John Collins on guitar, an instrument I'd not ever heard with Miles prior to Joe Beck in or around 1968. As most of you know, I'm not really into be-bop a whole lot, but these Dameron tunes really have a LOT of harmonic twists to them, and I'm interested in hearing more of his work (especially his compositions and arrangements). What are your personal "top 5" dates with or by Dameron, and by dates -- I guess I mean "top 5" CD's with Dameron dates (probably multiple dates per CD). In other words, where do I go next?? I included "Tadd tunes" in the thread subtitle, in case there are any really good Dameron tribute dates out there -- feel free to include anything like that.

Anybody know how to pronounce "Pannonica"?? I'm assuming the stress is on the "o", as in "Puh-NO-ni-ka"
