  1. I'm not sure that anybody could have. I've got all the recordings from that tour, and nothing is like that night at Olympia. It's like Trane just let it all out, all at once, everything that he had eve3n been thinking about doing but was having to put on hold to do this tour with Miles. I't an almost literal crack in the fabric of time, seriously. I don't know what caused it, but nothing else on that tour sounds like this, it's all, to one degree or another, a bit more "reigned in". I'd have to think that some people,, including those on the stage, might have been a little shook up (maybe eve4n scared?) by what they heard that night.
  2. Totally. But I'm not looking for reasonable, I'm looking for cheap. I already have the music, now I'm just looking for the object. So, some slightly used set with all the particles intact enough will be good enough for me. No matter, yeah, Olympia is one of the greatest moments of the 20th Century, period.
  3. Monday's got an ever-expanding "What Is Jazz?" playlist going on Spotify and the selections are, to put it mildly, eclectic. Old farts, neo-cons, and anybody else who feels a need to own the word and/or the music will seldom be pleased. although there is music from Art Blakey, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, Joe Henderson/Alice Coltrane, a.o., there's a lot of other stuff that is nothing like that. But this is one person's experience...and it includes both Doug Carn and Woody Herman, Shirley Horn and Earth, Wind, & Fire, so it's not like I can't relate. Oh, and it's got this little gem:
  4. Having all these bootlegs, I'd like to get this iteration for the cleaner sound, and the popularly sanctioned distribution of wealth engaged and implied therein, actually, but I'm going to need the prices to drop first, to be frank, honestly.
  5. I'm not totally sure about this, but weren't some of this session released as boncus cuts on the Sixth Scents CD?
  6. Watched this on Netflix this morning...pretty mediocre as a story, and no that does not sound like Chet Baker, either playing or singing, but I did enjoy seeing "Dick Bock" in action. I think Richard/Dick Bock would make a good documentary subject, actually. From Gerry Mulligan to Ravi Shankar to Bud Shank Pop hits to Buddy Rich/Gerald Wilson and on and on. Did not enjoy seeing "Dizzy Gillespie" in a beret. Overall...why do they make movies like this? Why do people watch them? I watched it to have something to drink morning coffee to on this Sunday morning. Now that that's all done...
  7. Netflix. Awesome.
  8. Pleasant enough, but essentially unnecessary. Or vice-versa, if it suits you.
  9. If I pay cash, can you thrown in The "Roger" Sessions?
  10. If given better, I will do better. Until then, I will wait for Cuscuna to step up to the plate one last time in a home run of glory for the Mosaic of yore, who would do stuff like that because it needed to be done before it couldn't be done. To be blunt - I will get the Savory set, but all this pre-bop sets with out anything else in the mix...i'm probably going to save enough money to buy multiple copies of the Bill Barron set, whoever puts it out legitly.
  11. I'll buy a record with Billy Higgins on it even if I don't know who anybody else is. Not just a drummer, a SPIRIT!!!

    "Rosetta" from Hip Cake Walk. Also a longtime favorite album cover! Another favorite:
  13. But how are things in Germany food restraunts these days? https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/grandmas-food-how-changing-tastes-are-killing-german-restaurants/2018/03/19/de4c4994-0b93-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html?utm_term=.46fe5b74ee18
  14. And perhaps more wearisome to keep running into bullshit to call. Especially the same bullshit. But that's the way of the world.
  15. This is why we call bullshit. It's an obligation.
  16. You guys who feel cheated by "history as written" would be well served to resuscitate the liner notes written by Joe Goldberg (and to a lesser extent Stanley Dance) liner notes for various "Soul Jazz" records from the late 50s/Early 1960s. Goldberg presents as well aware of the audience/milieu for this type music, as well as its general exclusion from the landscape of it from the general "jazz discourse" of the time. But again - telling people what they don't know is one thing, saying something that is flat out ignorant, is something else entirely. It's the difference between saying something like Gene Ammons was more popular than Cecil Taylor (very true, and needs to not be overlooked at all) vs. saying that Gene Ammons had more of an influence on how "jazz" globally evolved in than did Cecil Taylor (at best, wishful thinking). And talk about wishful thinking - the Gene Ammons popular legacy does in fact exist most overtly in the quiet storm/smooth jazz that we all have little to no use for (and usually find to be not "jazz" at all). And the Cecil Taylor musical influence is still reverberating in the musics of people the world over that a lot of "jazz fans" don't think of a "real jazz". So, all you "real jazz" fans take note - you're in love with a snapshot in time. Reality has taken that moment and gone all kinds of different ways with it. Wishing otherwise won't make it so. I'd like to think that enjoying an occasional George Howard record AND an occasional, say, Evan Parker record should be something that shouldn't be too difficult for anybody who's aware of and appreciates the way things have gone and continue to go.
  17. Expanding known history with facts and truths and rewriting it through willful omissions, lies, and in this guy's case, apparent ignorance seducing itself into a perceived "knowledge" are not even close to being the same thing.
  18. I don't see why it's a point of contention to be offended by "rewriting history". The only people who get to play at that are the living, and they don't do it to actually change things that happened, good luck on that, but to change the way the present appears to be heading into the future. And until further notice, that's someplace I will be, so...yeah, better look out for them liars, preachers, popular personalities, and other con-men in general.
  19. Ah, it's from the same period of recording activity that produced The Birdlanders. Got thrown by seeing Jerry Newman listed as engineer. Between the Vogue and The Periods, does that cover all this particular activity by Renaud? https://www.discogs.com/Oscar-Pettiford-Sextet-Oscar-Pettiford-Sextet/release/9736134 + https://www.discogs.com/artist/1756929-The-Birdlanders is any overlap a duplication, or alternate takes?
  20. Google Translate does a good job of faking it, I guess: Complete Last Recordings / Thelonious Monk Jazz · Giants, Thelonias Monk's Last Studio Recording is the long-awaited reply for the first time in 20 years! The master of jazz piano, Seronius Monk celebrating 100 years of birth in 2017, was in Europe during the fall of 1971 A valuable session that remains in the history of jazz which contained the full picture of the last studio recording by solo and trio at London's chapel studio. Upon recurrence this time it was the 50th anniversary of my founding that was a 50th anniversary of founding Shinjuku's own jazz tea ceremony "DUG" owner and a wonderful photographer Mr. Hozumi Nakahira famous for his jazz and photographer as a jazz photographer The double paper jacket specification released separately for covering. Truckle Tinkle (Take 1) which had not been recorded at the time of last time was added as a bonus track additionally.
  21. And yet time seems to compress. That's why I like to keep my lies straight and my truths even straighter. One day I'm going to wake up dead and somebody's gonna have to clean up that mess. Paying it forward, as the people like to call it.
