I've never heard any of this kinda of material (nor much Manfred Mann at all, come to think of it). Can anybody point me to some audio-samples (on-line), or maybe is there a cut or two already uploaded to something like Youtube?? I'd be curious to check this out.

Well, gosh golly, maybe there IS some evidence of BS&T with Joe Henderson... http://www.rdrop.com/users/rickert/fielder.html Jim Fielder Interview (by David Callow 10/99) Jim was one of the founding members of Blood, Sweat, and Tears, playing on the first six BS&T albums. Since then he has played with a large number of groups and has appeared on a variety of different recordings. Now, the questioner says "recorded" and also mentions "Salty Tears" (as if it's been released, and implying that Joe's on that one). But then Jim Fielder only says "rehearsed" (implying that everything in his answer was rehearsed, but NOT recorded -- although the beginning of his answer implies that all three were recorded). I'm afraid I don't know squat about BS&T -- is "Salty Tears" something that has been released from this era?? Also, FWIW, I'm pretty darn sure that "No Me Esqueca" (Don't Forget Me) is a later alternate title for one of Joe's very best known tunes, " from his very first BN album (and damn near a jazz standard, by most measures).

Found a quote earlier tonight that implies that maybe there's one Blood Sweat & Tears tune with Joe that got recorded, and maybe a couple of Joe's tunes(!) they actually rehearsed.... I just posted this on the Steve Hoffman board, and here 'tis again...

Yup, that's gotta be it. Just dug out my BN discography (2001 edition), and there it is on page 235, just as jay2b2's typed up for us (thanks!). So, I guess that makes this an actual BN project, from the very beginning (i.e. non-prostituted). Gack! - what a cover...

The original image is long since gone, lost to the sands of time -- but the message is still as heartfelt as ever... HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM JOEL AND THE CATS!!

...Or a few gray-hairs into Radiohead. (One could only hope.)

I lobbied strongly for both the Andrew Hill BN Select, and also what ultimately came to be known as "Passing Ships" (the Conn). BTW, my suggested title for "Passing Ships" was "Tomorrow is Now!!" -- based on one of the tunes being called "Yesterday's Tomorrow" -- and I think one of the other tunes was listed in the discography as being "Now" -- but the title of "Now" was changed to something else for the release (as best I can remember, and my discography isn't handy). In all cases I got very good feedback from Michael, and some real encouragement that they'd like to revisit those sessions someday, "maybe", etc... I think I was also but one of dozens of similar suggestions Michael received over the years about all that unreleased Hill material.

Probably 10+ years ago I had a friend who took a longish vacation to Hong Kong, and spent over $3,000 (legit purchases she really made, I think including her airfare) on one of her credit cards. A short while later a bunch of OTHER charges started appearing -- in total over $2,000 above what she had actually paid for. The bank ended up canceling the card, and despite some effort on her part (how much, though, I really don't know), the bank ended up eating the ENTIRE balance -- INCLUDING the $3,000 she had actually spent. Free trip to China, and loads of souvenirs (expensive stuff too, rugs and pottery and such).

What a story. Sheesh!!

I was at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square about 10 years ago -- and went through both their classical and jazz sections pretty much A to Z -- and couldn't find even three (3!) CD's in the whole store, that I couldn't easily find a number of other place (yes, I'm including "online" from like Amazon), and find for at least 30% to 40% less to boot. Sure, their inventory was fairly robust, but I never saw even ONE title that made me stop in my tracks and say "I need to buy this NOW". It was just disc after disc after disc (must have scanned the spines of several thousand discs), "yup, I've seen that -- yup, I've seen that -- yup, I've seen that". I'm guessing they had 50% to 60% of all the domestic, in-print, "available from every mass distributer out there" CD's in their distributer's database -- and ALL of it at absolutely FULL list price (if not even higher). I've found WAY more "gotta buy this now" stuff in random Barnes & Noble or Borders Bookstores (though not lately, that's for sure), than I think I'd ever find in any Virgin Megastore.

Don't want to overstate this, but the cadence of Miles' voice here reminds me a little bit of Sun Ra's voice. Seriously.

Parlan and Mobley too. (Those were the four I saw.)

Any opinions of this album?? Approximately Infinite Universe (1973, double-LP originally on Apple) I've heard a number of on-line clips, and two or three full-length tunes (from Youtube), and I've been tempted to try and track down a copy. Tempted a few times, but not enough to actually get it yet. Should I??

One of my favorite sessions with Lee Morgan as a sideman. Great to hear him backed only by bass and drums -- the only time I think that ever happened on record, right??

Like it or not, this is not quite a kosher topic around these parts.

Supposedly this tape circulates (and no I don't have it, nor have I ever heard it). Not really looking for it either (to keep this thread legit), cuz supposedly it sounds awful... ...but I couldn't help but wonder who might have been on it - or at least who the horn might have been... Artist: HANCOCK, HERBIE Show date: ??/??/1965 Venue: Quartet:- ? Location: - ? Grade: C Show notes: awful quality My guess is Wayne, as I've heard rumors of the Miles 2nd quintet doing a couple one-off dates around that time without him (which I've also never heard - seriously).

Holy shit, you won't believe this... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7fd_1227028754 <<<=== Autumn Leaves Gobstobbingly beautiful. As the text above the video says, just wait till 2:30 when she kicks in the bass line. I've NEVER heard a theremin played THAT well in tune, ever -- not even close. Not that I've heard a lot of theremin, mind you, but still.

Ah yes, 'tis true. (I've got one, though.)

Too late, all gone.

Reminds me I also really need to get vols. 3 & 4 of the Highnote live Woody Shaw series (since vols. 1 & 2 are so wonderful). Not to confuse things, but here are the details of that series (which is NOT the same thing as the Elektra live recordings)... I think we're really lucky to have so many LIVE Woody Shaw recordings out there (over 10 hours, by my rough count). There's these two Elektras, the four HighNotes, the larger 'Berlin' group on Muse, the double-disc on BN (the one with a bunch of Monk tunes), plus a couple probably grey-market Reds out there too. I may even be forgetting one or two others, maybe. I think some of them are worth their weight in gold. When Woody was 'on' (which I'll admit, wasn't 100% of the time), but when he WAS on -- he was maybe my all-time favorite trumpeter ever.

If you want to talk about specific discs, and not material -- then the TOCJ of Lee Morgan's "The Procrastinator" is kinda hard to find, as I recall. It had an extra session on it as well, which has since been issued here in the U.S. as bonus material on the "Sonic Boom" reissue (and is easily available now). But for a good while there, though, that Japanese "Procrastinator" CD was the only way to get that extra session anywhere in the world on CD.

Here's the discographical details (which I couldn't recall very well -- I don't have the LP's myself, though I think I may have heard one of them years ago)...
