Yeah, hard to imagine me not getting this at some point too. (Not urgently, but I’m sure I can’t resist it for too long.)

The (separate) sessions specifically with Tolliver and Goykovich weren’t ever released before — and I would dearly love to have to have them on legit CD’s (I do have burns of them, but that’s not the same).

First ‘single’ — all 20+ minutes worth. Damn!!

How many discs do we think the Sonny Clark will have? I think I have about half his BN leader-dates, but I haven’t done my homework to work out what I’m missing (FWIW, I have 3 or 4 discs, iirc).

Looks a little like the facial expression Billy Crystal uses when he does his Muhammad Ali.

9 of the 10 here — I’m missing one of the two Impulses.

And “Black Drops” is damn near as good too (I go back and forth about which one of the two I like better).

The only Dylan album I have is Oh Mercy from 1989 (plus a promo-single of a song, “Series of Dreams” from the same sessions, that really ought to have been on the album too) — and it’s a lovely album I enjoy a lot. But I never got bitten by the Dylan but. I did own a (free promo) copy of the very first Bootleg Series Vol 1 set — that I got back in college, but never kept. It gave me some insight as to why Bob is so important — but I still didn’t feel the urge to get lots more. That said, I’ve toyed with getting a couple more of his from the 90’s.

Never hurts to ask. There’s also this, fwiw: https://lostmediawiki.com/Jazz_Goes_to_College_(partially_found_BBC_jazz_concert_series;_1966-1967) also this… https://missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/2633/jazz-goes-college and this… https://londonjazznews.com/2016/11/07/feature-ghosts-and-spirits-remembering-albert-ayler-at-the-london-school-of-economics-in-november-1966/?amp=1 this too… https://www.theguardian.com/friday_review/story/0,3605,401760,00.html

Wow, what a great album to start with!

I mentioned my Hendrix fanaticism my last two years in high school (including a couple dozen bootlegs, and damn near every legit release I could find)… …but then I also got into Frank Zappa quite a bit when I first got to college — and then in the year before I got into jazz, I got the first of Zappa’s live 1988 releases with his very jazz-tinged, horn-driven band (the album Broadway the Hard Way). So that helped too.

I feel like Joe’s last BN leader-date, plus Power to the People having an ‘all-Miles’ rhythm-section (Herbie, Ron, and Jack D) — plus Miles’ last all-acoustic Second-Great-Quintet album — all set me up pretty damn well. Plus, I listened almost nothing but Jimi Hendrix my last two years in high-school (more true, than not) — which set me up for electric-era-Miles too. A near perfect indoctrination, far as I’m concerned.

Try googling the headline of the article, and then click on the NYT link from within Google. That usually works for me, to get behind their paywall — or at least it does within the Google app on my iPhone.

Two C90 cassettes that I made in the Fall of my junior year of college (1989)… Side 1: Mode For Joe + “Gary’s Notebook” from The Sidewinder (also with Joe Henderson). Side 2: Power to the People Side 1: KOB Side 2: Nefertiti + “Prince of Darkness” off The Sorcerer Played both those tapes 100 times each over the first few months I had them.

It’s not that hard, but it might have been an added expense (to Mosaic) to do that — I’m just wildly guessing — and perhaps they felt the added expense wasn’t worth it (especially if there were data quality issues with their old system). To be clear, I completely *agree* it shouldn’t have been that hard (and shouldn’t have cost extra) — but there’s no telling how the company that they bought (or ‘rent’) their new system charges for things (and data-conversion could have been an ‘a la Carter’ expense they had an opportunity to avoid). Given their margins, anything’s possible.

Me too!! I’ve got about 3-4 of those Atlantic Hubbard dates on CD, and they’re mostly all pretty darn good.

Yeah, they were both on the standard CD reissue of Blue Spirits… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Spirits?wprov=sfti1 6. "The Melting Pot" - 7:36 Bonus track on CD 7. "True Colors" - 9:53 Bonus track on CD Tracks 6-7 Freddie Hubbard - trumpet Joe Henderson - tenor saxophone Hosea Taylor - alto saxophone (6), bassoon (7). Herbie Hancock - piano (6), harpsichord (7). Reggie Workman - bass Elvin Jones - drums Notes: On the CD reissue of Blue Spirits, track 7 is listed as Hancock performing on the celeste, although it sounds like a harpsichord.

I didn’t notice any previously unreleased tracks, fwiw. If I was made of money, I’d get this — but alas, I’m not.

Speaking of Chicago, I super-vaguely remember like I read gosh-knows-where once, that Chicago did a sort of half-‘traditional’ big band album of some sort (or maybe it was just a few tracks). I never heard it, nor was I terribly curious — but now I’m wondering if I’m just imagining I heard about it once online. Ring any bells for anyone??

Absolutely love that CD — and, yes, the big band tracks especially (but the whole thing, really). One of the best historic releases of its kind (in a sort of quiet, unassuming way). Would that every source of such material — notable soloists being backed by European groups and sidemen — be unearthed, and released so well (on CD).

Such a nice surprise too! — like outa nowhere — BAM! — there it is. Short as it is, it really feels like a revelation. We’ve got footage of Tina Brooks (with Ray Charles) — and of Dupree Bolton (of all people! — along with Curtis Amy)… and I’m sure I could cite a dozen other notable but obscure players from the 50’s and 60’s. And now, suddenly… suddenly there’s footage of Hank — where this time yesterday there was none. Kind of its own little (tiny) moment in jazz history… the day that suddenly we could affix the memory of a moving image in all our minds, to one Hank Mobley. I suppose I’m being a little silly and over dramatic about it. But seriously, how many of us will remember this footage when we think of Hank in the future? — and this time yesterday, NONE of us could do that (other than Dan, who’d already seen it). That’s not nothin’.

SS1! Good to have you back!!

About to start now (at 11pm eastern).
