Shit! I just noticed this. He was great. I really missed him when he stopped posting. Now aI guess I'll never be able to thank him for all the knowledge he brought here.
I'm in Lisbon and was visiting a huge bookstore when I saw a sign pointing up a flight of stairs saying " Jazz Messengers". Of course I went up and it was a great selection of Lps with a pretty good cd section. I asked if this was the "Jazz Messengers" who shipped overseas and they replied that they ship from their store in Barcelona. Is this the organization many people here buy from?
I've been having trouble posting photos (due to ineptitude) but i took some and when I return home I'll attempt to post them.
Looks like the film might have been slightly "undercranked". i.e shot at less than 24 frames per second. Hence the slightly speed up look (e.g. Dizzy walking across room).
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.
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.

What do I have to do to make this image show?
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.
