No, but it is the original LP, in original running order, with a bonus cut at the end. Right? I think it's the disruption of the original running order(s) that got everybody worked up. I can see that, but hey, don't be dropping new shit for no apparent good reason once you've put it out.

LTB turned on the tv this morning, and it was on the Music Choice "Sounds Of The Season" channel for some reason. Probably El Carlitos' nocturnal doings. Anyway, since there's no "seasonal" music for right now other than the sound of sweat and desparation, they seem to be playing acid-jazz/nu-jazz/whateverthefucktheycallit. The music ranges from dreadfully boring to fairly stimulating, but what stopped me in my tracks was when heard a rather distinctive alto tone. I looked at the screen & saw the name Sonny Simmons. WHOA! And WTF? The album was called The Best Of The Rhythm Section and the cut was called "Tachyon". Nothing earth-shattering, but still, Sonny Simmons! A little research turns up this bit of info: No real reason for posting this other than to provided a bit of discographical trivia for Sonny Simmons fans. No need to rush out and find this unless you're a true completist.

That's the first time I've hear about the Sinesio/RAI connection, but that would explain a lot of things. Fascinating bit of info if true!

People bitched because the original album contents/sequences got all screwed up. They did the same thing with some Mobley shit, put sessions back together that had been split over albums and reissued them under the origian titl, and people got pissed. So they decided to not do that any more. Personally, I don't give a fuck. I prefer to have complete sessions together and then break it back into original release sequence on my own, if I ever feel the need (which I seldom do, since I got most of the stuff on LP anyway, as well as a functioning turntable & CD burner). But that's just me. The people spoke, and the people were heard. Still, ain't it a bitch to have once had everything (minus that one trio cut) out and now not to? Power to the people!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't those two tunes recorded in two pieces each? There's a countoff at the beginning of each side, iirc.

A few friends have sent Aldo Sinesio e-mails, trying to buy the LPs at his price. Those e-mails have gone unanswered.

Yeah, chieu-tchoo, your word on Tiberi sounds like "gossip" that's so far removed from the source as to not be taken seriously. From what I hear, the holdup to Tiberi's cache is that he wants what they're worth to him, and ain't gonna settle for less. Might not be a good "business move", but considering his personal attachment to all those tapes (I think he made them all himself) & his natural dislike/distrust of "the business", it's understandable. I was hearing a few years ago that a deal was imminent. Why & how it fell through, I don't know. But the word that he doesn't want to let them go because that's where he steals all his licks from is flat out bullshit. You might be able to get a grain of truth out of some things you hear from 157th generation sources, but a grain will be all it is, and you're lucky if you get that much. Remember that, ok?

Hey chew-chu - Chan Richardson is Bird's widow.

She's young and enthusiastic, sings reasonably in tune and with good phrasing. Doesn't sound like she's absorded the Massive Grandeur Of The Tradition, if you know what I mean, but then again, why should she at this age, time, & place? We've got enough people too busy pretending they're of a different age, time, and place as it is. I'd say, based on this one cut, that she's somebody to drop in on from time to time to see how she's doing. Might be something happening, might not be. The spirit is definitely there. The rest, we'll see.

Gave this one a sustained listen last night, and I think the thing that bugs me the most is that the sax player seems to be one of these guys sho's spend a lot more time on his fingers than on his embouchure. That's gonna bug me from now until the day I die, I reckon. But... I really, really got a feel for what the rhythm section is up to, and I like it a lot. Fans of Strata-East type "spiritual" jazz (ah, the Bastards neologisms!) will probably dig this one for the emphasis on modality and vampage. But I swear, I can honestly hear this as dance music, and I can actually see a club full of people dancing to a lot of it. Seems like what they're doing is taking Milestone-era type Tyner-esque vamps and making them a bit more "punchier", just a tad more stacatto and a tad more accented, with the emphasis being less on "flow" and more on "beat". And on the cut w/Pharoah, it all comes together. Pharoah has definitely put in some time on his embouchure. I gotta confess, the notion of people dancing to this type jazz is an appealing one to me. Ain't nobody listening anymore, but plenty of people are dancing. "By any means necessary", as the man said...

It's not that far from "On The Corner" to a lot of things, although again, not too many of them are "jazz".
