Bought that one, but haven't gottten to it yet. How's Griff?

Get well!

No health problems for Cuber, just taking gigs on tenor to get the work.

I'm asking around. If I hear something, I'll let you know.

He's playing tenor on some of those Bob Belden videos too.

We're already on it! http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29505 Great work, btw. Thanks!

Isn't that often how it happens, though? You dodge the big bullets only to get hit by a freak one?

Glad to hear that they're legit! The LPs were on Japanese Why Not/Trio (maybe Chuck can sort out the specifics as to which was what?). India Navigation leased Air Song for American release, and that's where I have it. Both were released on CD on Japanese P.J.L.The Antilles session was totally theirs, I believe. All are excellent, to put it mildly.

And throw in this one for good measure:

DAMN this is some good shit!

Ditto to all the above.

YAH!

Dude, New Mexico really does move at a slower pace than the rest of the US, doesn't it?!?!?!

not his b'day, either? No. But at least we didn't miss it!

Dolphy. iirc.

Duke Pearson produced Super Nova & Odyssey of Iska, so wtf does Wayne have to bitch about? Iska could've been recorded better though... I remember a Shorter interview from the 70s(?) where he talked about Pearson going around telling everybody to record whatever they wanted, that they were "opening the company up" or something like that. My take on that has been that Pearson saw the writing on the wall, that the Liberty, and later UA, buyout spelled the end of the label as they knew it, so go on ahead and do whatever the fuck it was you wanted to get done while you still had the chance. Considering that Dr. Death, er...George Butler was already waiting in the wings (he co-produced Elvin's Genesis w/Wolff), I'd say that Pearson's actions were not without merit. Certainly most of the "serious jazz" material that BN released after the Liberty buyout was produced by Pearson. And what could Pearson have done to prevent the Butler/UA manuvers? So, unless Wayne knows something about all this we don't (a distinct possibility), then I think he might just be being a little bitchy here.

I have Air Raid on "legit" Japanese CD. Air Song has been released on CD by the same label. Who's doing this "self-releasing" - Threadgill or DMG? Agreed, great music. Carpe diem!

Dude - he was either 21 or 22. He didn't "look" young, he was young!
