How much video footage from that gig survives?

Hell, Massey Hall! and not just edits, total overdubbing!

What year did you buy this record? I bought it in 1970 and this is the cover it had. It's still the cover to the record I think of, when I think of it at all, which is really....never. Why would you?

Dude, I hope you tip your barber really well.That haircut is totally on point. Seriously!

not with winterizing your turbines, you didn't.

Cybil Shepherd, by all accounts i've heard, don't take no shit unless she decides to do it.

"Desafinado" was a Top 20 hit in 1962.

Not for everybody's taste (and only sometimes mine), but Barbarito Diez is rightly considered a legend, and the arrangements (a precursor to charanga, just that these are danzons) have more detail to them than a casual listen might at first suggest. Bottom line - Panart. Ain't no bullshit there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarito_D%C3%ADez

this too. Now...she was a woman, and a singer, and not a universally respected one at that (I love her and think she only got better with time, but mine is not a unanimously held opinion...all i can say is check out the live video from, whenever it was, late 20th Century?. STRONG!!!). So she was not going to have volunteers lining up to do right by her. That part I get, totally. But...if you're going to deal with sharks, get one of your own, right? And turn into one yourself, just to have the skill set for if/when you need it. Talk to Carla Bley, ok?

This.

I'm at the crossroads of keeping good/great music that I've more or less imprinted on by now and continuing to explore new/under-familiar music. If it was up to me, I'd keep it all in the house, but it's not up to me, it's up to the size of the house, which is a fixed quantity.

No, the article implies that she was a total naif. And I can believe that, but only up to a point.

"Playground" & "Schizophrenia" are intense.

I remember her having really long feet. Was that for real? Indeed they are. And still relevant.

What you see is what you get. Clint Houston provides some nice compositions and Loui' brother Gerald play good alto. Stubblefield & Tolliver are who they are. In 1999, this wasn't exactly "fresh" but it was far from tired either. It's a good record with no small amount of spunk.

I can get perfectly stoked by "First Official Release" of "Previously Unissued" or something like that. That's accurate language, and is indeed a reason to be excited. "Lost" or "Never Before Available" and shit like that, no, that's usually not true, not in the least. The recent Hasaan things, yes. This Mingus and other such stuff, no. The inability to hype without being able to resort to what is, objectively, an untruth demonstrates a core lack of imagination that is only a few steps (or less) from an actual grift. Sign of the times.

The real bebop is whats left after the raw song goes away.

Hmmm... that's the damndest "one mind" trio I've heard, it's all one idea (literally) played by three instruments of the same mind. Then again, I've always felt that a trio was the purest route to realizing wholeness. Call me pathetically retro that way, like Willie Nelson, my heroes have always been trios.

Love that Bob!

It's funny...I recognized the "keening" sound, but went straight from Booker to billy, not once registering Bennie. Bonehead

I have this, but have not yet really dug into it. Yet. Largely because I'm just now fully disengaging myself (as a matter of necessity rather than desire)from this one: As much as I love Sirone...the triangulation here is damn near godly.

Maupin, DOH!

This one is easily overlooked because of its tangentiality....but shouldn't be!

Slippery slope...
