Would there even have been an Lp in '89? I can't remember.

Stephanie Stein did the liner notes to a Gil Evans band cd called Tribute to Gil (it was done after he left town.) I got a CDR through Amazon but it doesn't include the notes. Does anyone here by any chance have this and could copy them for me. If you're wondering why I didn't get this earlier it's because although I'm an Evans completist I avoided the ghost band. Then I saw them in London once and was really impressed. By then the cds weren't readily available and I didn't care that much. However I recently learned that this cd contained the only recording of the last arrangement Gil did: Robby Robertson's The Moon Struck One. I've never gotten a CDR from Amazon before and almost didn't notice that it was one. The front and back of the insert look like what I presume the original did but the inside of the insert is just an ad for more Soulnote records. I only learned that there should be liner notes when I was looking for information on AMG.

There's about a dozen cuts from the Smile sessions on the "Good Vibrations" box set. Though I never bothered to do it I always thought that you could make your own "original" version using those cuts with the new version as a guide. Notice the difference between Mike Love's lyrics to "Good Vibrations" and those that Brian seems to prefer. The only time I saw the Beach Boys live was when they were touring in support of "Holland". No Brian, but Blondie Chapman, 'The Captain (sans Tennile) and an extra drummer as well as several other musicians. A great show but but Mike Love acted like a jerk.

BTW I don't think the notes answer this question: What was the first record (single, 10 inch or 12 inch) on which the group was called The Modern Jazz Quartet?

NY Yankees 1956-61. Now I'm for anyone but.

Joe Farrell Follow Your Heart The Essential John McLaughlin Columbia on a local show (KCBX San Louis Obispo) called "Freedom Jazz Dance".

I did it because it was easy and free and so far have just found it to be a pain in the ass. Adds an extra step before you download to your computer and never found a reason to use it on other devices.

Great interview!

Happy B'day and many more!

They obviously don't ship then in order. I just got 0140.

I used to have this problem. Then I found this product. It works embedded in Safari and FireFox. With Google Chrome, the audio file gets downloaded and automatically played in QuickTime. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/windows-media-player/wmcomponents Thanks. Did the trick.

I can't get those samples to play. My son thinks they can't be played on a Mac and that the Mosaic websites is antiquated. Anyone here with a Mac able to play them?

Saw Taj Mahal on Thursday. Lot's of blues, which surprised me since last time I saw him he was more into his island thing. Then Saturday night, my wife's bands MYNX. No blues (wife can't convince the rest of the girls to try it) but lots of fun. http://www.independent.com/news/2011/jun/01/girls-are-back-town/

What year did Floyd Smith write the letter? (Maybe it's there and I missed it.)

Haven't looked at this yet so can't comment. Should we start a Wolfgang's Vault thread? I'm hoping they'll post the 1958 (IIRC) Prez with Pee Wee Russell set.

So is Way Out Wardell available from ACE?

Right now it only seems to be available on Amazon as an import.

"My Life in E-Flat". Chan Parker's autobiography.

The Columbia Jazz Masterpiece edition lists Larry Keyes as doing the digital remaster but doesn't mention Vlado Meller; just says "all digital engineering and mastering at CBS Records Studio, New York". BTW Am I the only one who thinks that "Le Souk" is one of Desmond's great solos? Certainly one of his bluesiest.

This is weird: On their web site it's still listed as an "upcoming release".

I meant to mention him in my post. The height of modernism, so much more modern than many contemporary arrangers. I certainly would have mentioned Gil Evans but I presumed this was about active bands. BTW I even liked the Gil Evans band after Gil died. Didn't think I would but saw them once at Ronnie Scott's in London and they were great.

Clayton-Hamilton band. Maria Schneider.

Someone once suggested that the Schwan catalogue would be a good source of release information. There seems to be an on-line version for classical music but not for anything else. I would presume that some libraries would have a complete run but I've never found one that did.

This whole thread is pretty impressive.
