wow, where did you find those?!?!?!?!

So, yes, it has been reissued since then, although I can't say that they've fixed it. I would certainly hope so!!!!!!!! https://www.discogs.com/master/174510-Sonny-Rollins-East-Broadway-Run-Down?format=CD funny story about the title cut. Around the time i hit high school, the local (Tyler Tx) Soul station (KZEY 690 AM SOUL 69!!!!) adde a Sunday afternoon jazz show hosted by a lady named Teddi Davis, and she would play that cut from time to time, my assumption being to give her time for either a smoke of a bathroom break. She NEVER back-announced it, but I was mesmerized by it, especially the very end, the neck and then mouthpiece solo. It wasn't until I got access to a more urban envirponment that had real record stores and I could little by little buy the Sonny Rollins records I had yet to get (the in-print ones, anyway...) One of the first was East Broadway Rundown, and putting it on for the frst time, THERE IT WAS, that unmistakable head (comparisons to "Pent Up House" are instructive). I got so excited that I stopped people walking by in the dorm...LISTEN TO THIS, THE FIRST PSYCHEDELIC JAZZ RECORD!!!!! So, that has become one of my "imprint" records, and that first botched CD REALLY pissed me off. Thank you for listening.

Players respect players. Talent respects talent. People roll their eyes at Bird digging Jimmy Dorsey, but they shouldn't. If you do the work yourself, you know that the other guy has done it too, and you have to respect where they've gotten with it. Those Philly guys (including Heath) were all working on the same ideas. But they all put them into their own tone and phrasing. So yes, they do and don't sound like each other. That used to be the way it was supposed to work.

There's only one w/Hodges that's live. It's a boot, and very worth searching out. Rabbit didn't play a lot and turned a lot of the space over to Trane.

He's got a live record or two that have some REALLY strong Ricky Ford on them.

Thus weakening the argument for Darwinism. Dammit.

Dexter had profile years (a decade or so) before Dexter, though. Trane openly acknowledged the influence.

It would not be on the RCA box. Not sure if it has been improved. I threw up my hands and decided to stick to the LP.

Our partners include Wayne Shorter and Tony Zawinul's production companies, Zawinul Legacy Productions & Gang of Four Films. We strive to provide Weather Report and Zawinul Syndicate fans with quality products and exceptional customer service and we hope to grow with each coming year.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about and it still pisses me off to think about it. That shit should never have made it to market. It's not there on the LP.

One way of another, Bird influenced EVERYBODY who came up with and after him. In the Encyclopedia Of Jazz (IIRC), Trane lists Dexter as an early influence, and Stitt as a favorite, along with Stan Getz. Biographies list even earlier influences as Johnny Hodges and Lester Young. Tab Smith even gets a mention along the way, from Trane himself! And he speakes with a certain reverence about Earl Bostic, gleaned from his time in Bostic's band. In other words, he was not unique in his response to his musical/cultural winds of his time. Check out the live record of Trane playing in Hodges' band. A lot becomes evident there.

While visiting Detroit, we spent a few (not nearly enough) hours in the Detroit Institute of Arts and took in a wonderful exhibit of Ghana/London photographer James Barnor. I could not help but notice that Barnor's London work that was shot in color and for the cover of a local African Lifestyle magazine (Drum) could easily have been used for Blue Note covers with little to no modification. Wondering if there was an awareness of Barnor's work over here, especially in the Grandassa circles. Or vice-versa? At the very least, Barnor (who began his odyssey in Africa - Gold Coast/Ghana), but moved to London in 1959) was displaying a very early awareness of the Black Is Beautiful aesthetic that the Braithwaites were, and at about the same time. Some examples: There are a few things that show an awareness of earlier BN designs as well: https://www.artsy.net/artwork/james-barnor-elrin-ilbrack-drum-cover-girl Erlin Ibreck was/is an incredibly beautiful woman and would have been great on a Blue Note cover if she had been there for that. I confess to being totally ignorant about Barnor and his work until this exhibit. Failure now at least partially remediated!

Or they could have done the cost-effective thing and just let him drown eventually.

This. RIP.

A Sonny/Max duet, even as a spontaneous 10-15 minute one-off would have been possibly wonderful! There was that trio, Graz 1963, that is wonderful, even if it is in severe need of severe pitch correction.

My favorite YEAR would be 1965, including all the live things that are out there. But that's not an era, that's just one year and the apex/culmination of a band. My favorite RECORD would be Interstellar Space. But that's not an era, that's one day that ended up being a nearly-overwhelming culmination/summary of an entire lifetime. But the guys been dead 50+ years now, it's all been one story, and we know not just how it ends, but how it got there pretty much every step of the way. For me, that overrides the notion of having just one "favorite" in the sense of "desert island". Can't have a favorite chapter in a great novel, can you? That's how I see it anyway.

Two things that never happened and I still wonder why: 1. Lester & Billie never recording together on Verve 2. Max and Sonny never again playing together, on any occasion. The White House Jazz Festival would have been an ideal opportunity, they were both there.

Not about paying for me with stuff like this. Honor among thieves is a real thing. Judil Poohills does not appear to have and/or display it.

I'm sure the band & band name were incorporated. That leaves all sorts of possibilities.
