I once drove from Toronto to Montreal to see Tim Hardin, maybe with this group. He was great but on this record the backing musicians almost upstage him with their power. I better listen to that Richie Havens record.

I have tickets, I have a hotel room: God willing and the creek don't rise (a serious concern where I live), I'll be there. (Tho I don't have airline tickets yet).

I guess this includes the publishing rights on Four. Actually Miles didn't own publishing on that many songs. I expect the records royalties are worth a lot more.

Thanks guys.

Where do people stay? The first hotel I tried is already booked up.

RIP I never saw The Turtles but I did see Flo and Eddie as members of The Mothers of Invention.

Philology Vol 9 says " possibly July '50 Bernie Leighton p., Ray Brown b., Buddy Rich dr." Of course perhaps you heard a a different recording, but Losin (whom I trust a lot) doesn't list any recording of the song by that lineup.

Maybe he would have made that record with Gil Evans.

Tnanks!

Is it heretical to wonder if Trane had lived longer would his path have been similar to those of Pharoah, Archie Shepp and Alice Coltrane.

Yes.

What I was trying to show was a picture I had taken of Pharoah at a rock festival. Mark Stryker's excellent notes mentions Sander's influence on Kamasi Washington. Right after I took the photo I can't seem to reproduce I walked about 300 feet to see Washington who was beginning to play at a different stage. The influence was obvious.

BTW The person who solved the mystery was James Accardi. I should have cited him in my last post.

Just got this from Bandcamp and Cadillac Records: This one is for our American friends. Because of the imposition of duty and the advance in the date of the minimum cost that duty is paid just bought in by the US goverment there may be some delay in sending orders. We have this advice from the Post Office here: From 29th August 2025 US customs requirements are changing. We’re temporarily withdrawing existing services to the USA on Tuesday 26 August 2025. We're planning for our USA postal delivery duties paid (PDDP) services, which meet new customs requirements, to be available to customers online and in Post Offices from Thursday 28 August 2025. So all things being well, there will only be a few days disruption. We are also being advised that "informational recordings" (including music) are exempt from tarrifs - we'll be trying to follow the protocols so that US customs don't add duty to our packages.

I just got a response from the Jazz Research group from someone who heard the original Boris Rose acetates. He says the announcer lists the group and Feather got it right, Buchmann-Moller wrong. (The other Discography I have doesn't even list the session. ) BTW He also says the announcer speaks just before and after Destination Moon and there's no mention of Jo Jones sitting in on that number as Buchmann-Moller claims he does. BTW Where did you buy the Ambrosia disc? Or see the Prez Box?

It could also affect Discogs where many of he discs come from out of the country.

But even if you find a shipper, isn't there still a tariff? And how do you pay it? When the package is delivered? Will you have to go to a customs house to get it and pay the tariff?

Thanks. Those are the 2 discographies I was working with. I'm pretty sure Feather wasn't present and I suspect that the cuts broadcast are from 2 or three different dates.

I posted this to a jazz research list serve and got no response. Maybe someone here knows. On a Jazz Club USA broadcast from (I believe) 1952 devoted to Arnett Cobb and Lester Young, Leonard Feather announces that Prez was recorded at Birdland and that his band consists of Jesse Drake, Earl Knight, Lee Abrams and Gene Ramey. However though all these players were in the band around the same period , neither of the 2 Prez discographies I own show them all in the band at the same time. The numbers played on the broadcast are standard for Prez at that time: "Neenah", "Ghost of a Chance", "Lester Leaps in" and "Destination Moon". Does anyone know when this performance took place and who the players were? (It is possible that the Jazz Club USA broadcast used numbers from more than one night, with different members of the band on separate nights.)

Lewis Porter has posted some unreleased Steve Lacy on his substack.

I saw her perform when she was in her 80s and to me she sounded just like she did on her records from the '60s. I loved it. (Of course now that I'm in my '80s I'm not as impressed with her age-- just her singing and personality. )

"Three Shades of Blue". I'd promised myself that I wasn't going to buy any more books about Miles Davis (or Bob Dylan) but a friend was reading this and wanted to talk about it. It's pretty good. He seems to have read everything ever published about Miles, Trane and Bill Evans and done some important new interviews. (He does point out how all the sources contradict each other.) However, at one point he writes of the AABA song form: "two choruses followed by a bridge (aka channel, release, or middle eight) followed by an out-chorus." I've never heard of the A eight bars being called a "chorus" nor of the final 8 being called the "out-chorus". I always thought a chorus was all 32 bars. Is his terminology at all common?

IIRC (and I often don't) California has a similar a"visual artists' rights" law.

Yes but Ted was with her. It was a tank from her side too.

I first heard of her when I bought biographical novel called "Waiting For Robert Capa". I'd bought it because I liked he title and the cover photo. It's pretty good. (I've also read a pretty bad "Young Adult" book called "One Last Shot" which is sort of a poem. ) Gerda died in the arms of Ted Allen a man I've met but before I'd ever heard of Gerda so I never asked him about her. A friend of mine who'd made a film about Ted told me she was the love of his life.
