Resurrected, on the off-chance any newer board members have additional info... would still love to hear these dates!

You know Dwayne? http://www.myspace.com/clemonsbenkoquintet Cool. Miss seeing Dwayne gigging around town... he and James Clay made quite a front line.

Ancient history? Maybe. But further context? Maybe that too... http://wnew.radio.com/2009/11/17/rock-101-elvis-costello-and-ray-charles/

FWIW, a quick trawl of YouTube turns up a few more extended glimpses of Dunlop the musician, including what purports to be a Hammond B-3 performance from 1993.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space.

Listening again to Giuffre's 70's recordings... I guess he must have spent part of this down-time adding flute to his instrumental "arsenal." He'd not previously recorded any performances on this instrument, correct?

Larry -- would this be Joseph's Uptown session? Looking forward to it, whatever it may be. yes Fabulous news. Wonderful session.

I'm afraid I have no insights of my own, but do you know Martin Williams' essay "Jimmy Giuffre at Home"? It can be found in his WHERE'S THE MELODY, the full contents of which are available online via the Internet Archive. http://www.archive.org/details/wheresthemelody002622mbp The piece, in part, documents a rehearsal by the Giuffre / Friedman / Peacock trio.

Thanks Gokhan, all. For anyone who's interested: poking around the tubes, it appears that there is an Evans / Konitz performance (broadcast?) from this same vintage circulating. Location for the gig is given as Rome, and the set-list features much of the same repertoire as is covered on these Verve discs...

Duo recordings from 1980, originally issued on Verve in the early 90's, long OOP. All I really need are reference copies; I'm working on an Evans-related writing project and would appreciate being able to expand said project's scope to encompass these recordings. Thanks in advance.

Always really liked what that band is laying down there for McQueen and Bisset... sounds quite a bit like what Gabor Szabo's groups were doing around the same time... assuming Meridian West never recorded on their own (sadly).
