Available again in this Japanese configuration. But can two discs really cover the "complete" 1967 Montmartre recordings?

Question to the board: • What record, to your ears, contains Henderson's most out playing? Interpret "out" however you like. The general idea is "outside" of standard changes or even standard pitches.

MUZAK (Looking forward to picking up the Ben Webster.)

Deep Jazz Reality is now reissuing titles from the Trio label, under the banner "Jazz Legends in Japan." These two Cecil Taylor titles are coming back into circulation: Solo • 1980¥ • available May 20, 2020 Akisakila • 1980¥ • available May 20, 2020 I've had the music as digital files for ages, but have never owned any sort of hard copy. This can now change! CD Japan has been slow to list Deep Jazz Reality titles, but they do eventually show up on their site.

Agreed. I purchased the compact discs when they first came out and was always a little bugged by Henderson's sound, though his solos were spotless. Back in 2013/14, the Japanese market reissued "Super High Material" versions of these same discs; the improvement in sound is (to me) only minor. I've always had a soft spot for Henderson's cover of "Boo Boo's Birthday."

Good to know! Would be nice to be able to hear the whole show some day.

Here's a handy discography for Adderley.

Bam.

Do you mean duo (Darling/Soph)? I was at North Texas in 1988, when Ed Soph was still there, and Jamey Aebersold gave one of his clinics. I have to say, the guy, no matter what people think of him, can play. Ed Soph was on the gig, but for the life of me, I can't remember the bassist. I don't think it was Darling. I think they brought in the bassist from the 1 O'Clock, who, at that time, was a 15 year-old wunderkind. I remember walking back to Bruce Hall thinking Damn, Aebersold's for real.

Graas hadn't had his tonsils removed. Not yet at least.

I'll sign the petition.

Dig.

Wayne Darling is so damn good on this record. I'm listening to it right now. Darling might have been the bassist for Joe. No joke. Listen to the way he anticipates Joe's moves: when to keep with the arco, and when to go into a walking line. EVERY Joe fan should have this record. Sound is decent — not bad, not great. Thank Ghawd this 1977 gig (just "Barcelona," actually) was recorded. Dig. Agreed on all accounts. Stanley Crouch and Wynton Marsalis were in attendance for the Blue Note trio recordings. Maybe they had an effect on Joe's performance? I like those records, but they're a little subdued for my taste.

Well, at least the music's out there. Another version of "Power To The People"!

Do we know for sure that this album is a bootleg? The session came out, circa 1983, on Everest. At any rate, it's available these days as a download. (Over-priced for three tunes, in my opinion.) According to discussion here, the three tunes were indeed recorded at The Lighthouse.

This album came out on compact disc, and there was also a second disc ("More From An Evening With Joe Henderson") with three more tracks from the same date. The seven tracks together (80 minutes) can fit on one disc. 1. Ask Me Now 2. Serenity 3. Beatrice 4. Invitation 5. Visa 6. Rue Chaptal 7. All The Things You Are To me, Joe's sound is far more robust than on the Blue Note trio dates of the same period. Okay, just checked: the title More From An Evening With Joe Henderson might be download-only (and not a disc as stated above). I have it as a download. The music is excellent. Weird that all seven tunes couldn't have been placed on the same disc. Apparently Henderson told Charlie Haden that this was his favorite recording of himself. As much as I love Charlie Haden's playing, I don't find him a good fit for this particular setting. He doesn't take away from the music, but I keep wanting to hear, say, Richard Davis. But that's just me. The album is strongly recommended nevertheless.

This album is new to me. Thanks for the heads-up! Interesting to hear Rosnes with Henderson:

Just finished watching the documentary of the same title: Perhaps the only documentary in existence where both Wynton Marsalis and Woody Allen are interviewed. (Bob Wilber, George Wein, and Bechet's son are also interviewed.) It's a good doc with some excellent film clips from the period (including Bechet's wedding). Warmly recommended.

You're probably right. (I never really know who owns what.) Does that mean a Mosaic set is theoretically possible? It's at least available on Amazon as a download ... Dig this trivia: In 1975, Adderley appeared in an acting role alongside José Feliciano and David Carradine in the episode "Battle Hymn" in the third season of the TV series Kung Fu.[13] Adderley's character name was Trim Delaville. More trivia: I didn't know that Adderley was married to Olga James.

That is a title I regret not picking up when it was available in Japan in 2013. Cannonball's solos are burning.

I'd guess either 7 or 8, but more if you include the Riverside titles that were brought over to Capitol. If Mosaic can put out Hank (every track but one previously on the U.S. market?), it seems like a Cannonball set (where not all albums saw a U.S. release) would make sense. But I guess Sony doesn't lease out recordings from its archive any more? (Do I have that right?) It would be a fine Mosaic, and I bet there's unreleased material that could be added.

Probably isn't. Split-hemisphere meta-realities.
