Break a leg. If I ever make it to New York I hope you are playing a low key joint somewhere.

Love the cover

I have a still sealed copy of the Cobblestone one with Pat Martino in the band. I am waiting for my LP 12 to be set up again before I return to vinyl listening. This is waiting in line to open and play. I hope it's not warped. I thought I would dig it, now I'm sure I will. What is the title Long Road Back referring to. Something autobiographical or just a catchy title?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SohDeUlu4p4 This looks serious. And with a heavy social outreach dimension to.

Someone has just posted audio of Kenny Burrell from the half note and what appears to be audio of the WGBH Boston TV taping from 1966....yippee. i am on an iPad and don't know how to insert a link on this thing...search Kenny Burrell 'last week' and it will come up....happy days!!!!

I remember reading Joel Dorn state (when he had access to the Left Bank tapes), that most had deteriorated to unlistenable and unreleasable condition. You insiders might know the veracity of that claim.

iTunes and I think there were some legal 4 or 5 lp groupings of these Grant Green albums released in a budget package by emi or whoever owns Blue Note these days. I think I bought one a year or so ago. Same Lps, same material. These non copyright labels are good when they bring rare and disperate records together...like the Grant Green participation on Bill Davis/johnny hodges Verve sessions...but why give money to some glorified version of a cd rip. Still I suppose there are plenty of young or curious music listeners out there who could stumble upon these and start a great listening journey...so yeah And 'the packaging gimmick' of 'the 1961 Summer sessions' strikes me as a lame way to grab attention.

or just download it for nothing.

More pointless ripoff releases.

Unbelievable some of these posts. Whether any of these women may or may not have been contemplating intimacy with Cosby is besides the point. The facts prove Cosby couldn't achieve satisfaction unless a woman was unconscious. Whether anyone was 'leading him on' or not....he clearly needed an unconscious female to 'get off'. I can only think something horrible and traumatic happened to him as a child or adaloscent that made this monstrous behaviour compulsory for him. It's pathological in that whether the victims were contemplating intimacy with him or not, it wouldn't have satisfied Cosby unless they were zonked out or unconscious.

Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue. Music Matters 33n1/3.

Papa Lou doesn't look a day over 80 there

Wow. Sad news RIP. Talk about a bombshell. He was a huge influence on the Post Punks I played with when I was younger. Low was the album they all loved. The Berlin connection and all. David Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop.

I love Kenny Burrell. I am just watching him now!

Great story. You didn't have to go any further than Organissimo http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/68498-grant-green-kenny-burrell-live-newport-1966/

I found a very engaging duo session with Sonny Greenwich in a cut out bin a few years ago that kinda reminds me of the quote upstream about I Got Rhythm. It's not exactly Undercurrent But l love it anyway.

Spelling mistake. Sorry. And the Attila Zoller track l've heard from this concert is a highlight.

As for the 'guitar workshop' part of this concert, it appears only George Benson doing CC Rider and a couple of Charlie Byrd tunes survive on film. The audio of one tune each by Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, Attila Zola and George Benson with his classic Columbia era band are out there in the Public Domain. I hope one day I am proved wrong.

Yep. Just because he's got a wierd Francophile accent these days doesn't mean he's not a Jazz Guitarist.

OK gotcha. Very interesting then.

I thought it was said 'somewhere', that the reason Sinatra had very, very moderate 45 sales was that 'his songs were too good for the top 40' or some such reason. And of course he always introduced 'Something' as the best love song Lennon and McCartney ever wrote.....'something in the way that broad moves....attracts me like no other dame'.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crxcy5nmaec

What is the resonance with contemporary Black American Culture?

Actually i just remembered that Sonny Sharrock used this devise that made his notes sustain for extra long periods...i think it was called an e-bow, and of course Santana was all about long sustained notes....so that is a connection for sure...i better re listen to high life

Actually Mr Sharrock does at least make guitar faces like Santana... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvkUSUlPkZs
