FIRST, LAST & ONLY LIVE CONCERT FROM KIMBALL HALL, OTTERBURN FLINT MI LABEL INFO (BORIS ROSE FOR SURE): BIG CHIEF JEROLLOMO SBBH 1947 STEREO OH PS: the reason i got it was cause it has FLETCHER HENDERSON on piano! live!

im pretty sure ive seen this before prob. in print material- looks familar

50 cent samples bob james & ray brant?

now i wonder if there is video record of this too....raw footage leftover from the film--- cause this whole concert WAS filmed...right?

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT: ARE YOU SAYING THERE IS AN OFFICAL BLUE NOTE RELATED ITEM OF NEW, CURRENT, 1980'S-RELATED HANK MOBLEY MATERIAL, ISSUED BY BLUE NOTE IN THE 80'S? IVE SEEN THE ONE NIGHT W/ BLUE NOTE LPS BUT NEVER DID I LOOK INSIDE THEM FOR A 45. WAIT IT WAS ONLY PART OF SOME SORT OF "SET"? I NEED CONFIRMATION ON THIS! WAHT IS GOING ON HERE? I NEED TO HEAR THIS ITEM!!!!!!!!

wait what was hanks speech that night again? didnt someone here recount that?

bullshit, dude i talked to stormin' norman, for like 90 minutes on the phone in the early 90s and he told me all about his mobley releated jazz flyers he has from the years. THAT was one of them. this concert REALLY happend. maybe not the whole board can see it cause its not in the artists or misc. forum. i am telling you this really took place. george coleman and jimmy heath are alive. frank foster is too. can any of you write them a letter and ask them aobut it. this really happened u guys!

that is good to know, beacuse i mostly have ron mccmasters: i recall i replaced a few discs. sidewinder. goddamit why did i do that. i thought i was getting the cooler one. DAMIT. is it really that different? will i still enjoy the sidewinder. no room. but thats ok i have it on lp so its all good. um i think i have a new perspective on rvg too. now japananese rvgs are different though....you guys like the sound on those ones more, isnt that right? or whats the stevehoffman board verdict on those, i dont recall thankfully i have mostly mcmasters, are those harder to find now? does blue note now only ditrbute rvg discs as far as reissues go? is that what is happeneing?

thirdly, i notice you have a lot of letters. each letter has its own little point or idea it is trying to get across. And some all connect, like that one guy a few pages back, who ended up mailing you those annoaymous [sic] letters: sounds like something that could happen on Organissimio! lol. so back in the day you used letters to communicate, and it traveled slower and you might receive news back from a letter you send out, weeks later, maybe even months?

how much did you immerse yourself in the rock scene though? like i saw you had a Procul Harum ticket stub in there. they are one of my favorite bands. did you just go to the concert just cause you got a ticket, or did you know they were an amazing band and it was going to be a great moment in music history.

this is very interesting. i gather from this, you knew a lot of great pre-big band era jazz musicans, but in the later periods, like great musicans from the 20s, but now its like the 50s and they are older. Did these men and women tell you about the history of jazz, and what jazz was about for them, and how everything was in jazz back in the 20 and stuff like that? did you take that knowlege into the modern bebop era, and apply it in your modern bebop era related dealings? i do not know who Alberta Hunter is, but seems like you were her friend and you helped her music. So she was recording with you at riverside, but john hammond came ripped her away and took her to columbia but she still liked you best as a person? is that what i gather from this- i hope im not misguided? your life is so much better than mine, i think every body on this board is in some fashion indebted to your insights on jazz. DID YOUR CAREER IN RADIO PAVE THE WAY FOR ALL YOUR LATER ACCOMPLISHMENTS? HOW DID YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU COULD BE A WRITER FOR STEREO REVIEW AND PRODUCING ANY RECORD YOU WANTED. WHAT IS THE MISSING STEP, BETWEEN: RADIO << ------------ >> BEING A WRITER FOR STEREO REVIEW OR PRODUCING ANY LP YOU WANTED missing step how many instances are there of you having to trace a musicans whereabous, like you heard about someone, and you went out and met them, and chilled with them and stuff, and tryed to get them back into music. i heard back in the 50s people used to scour the south for rare Paramount blues 78s. Well did the same thing happen with people? How many instances were there of music lovers and people with a genuine interest in music, find people in other lines of work who have stopped making music, but are still awesome, and should therefore start making music again. is that dvd on her life it says you wrote about her, is that hard to find? I would like to view that docu ---------------

this must of been insane. surely some of you remember this!

okay okay that is disappointing to me in a way that its a radio b'cast, beacuse i want to hear Hank strech out. I've heard the Steve Allen tape, and it is like a slap in the face to hank (to be most blunt): they play avila n tequlia, with hank soloing for .3 of a chorus before an extended art blakey drum solo. nonetheless it still is pretty cool there was Hank, aged 25, on a mainstream national televison program. too bad the guy recording it didn't have a VTR! (video tape recorder) oh ps; u think it was a boris rose-related item. im in love with that man

The Preacher ------------------------ you guys know, from the hank mobley discography website, that these two horace silver events are documated on some sort of reel to reel style tape recording. the guy who has either it, or a copy of it, is in JAPAN. back in the early days of the internet i communicated with him. His repsonses were always very short or terse, every now and then revealing a shred of information, in small gulps. like one sentance per email. finally i squeezed out of him his (i assume) whole mobley list. these items were upon it. Tosiyuki Nomoto - 07/13/99 10:49:50 that his name and last time he emailed me: have you ever heard of this dude?

i cant believe it was in 1986 and no one recorded it

the Roulette masters are buired in a concrete casket with Jimmy Hoffa

my question: is this track the only item from the dvd w/ bjp- or is this a whole bjp concert? my comment: i am flipping out of my gourd with bjp-related happiness, god bless you big john

whats the one about the brother on the titanic

i thought there was this other guy at savoy, Ozzie Cadenna, what about him- where the two partners, a la wolff & lion? or whats the story.

what was his show like? did he do his comedy bits or did he sing too? i almost saw him once but didnt, i am regretful.

i find it amazing that hank didnt just pack up and quit if he was in so much pain: he was still playin' gigs in 1986. that is a true dedication

michael, come on, do you remember one thing about how hank was improvising and sounding in that whole Hank Mobley experience? was it a quartet INCLUDING the singer, or was there a piano player too? Pressing into riskier memory territory, do you remember which ones of hanks old songs he played, if any?
