Excuse my ignorance but what is the JC Forum?

I'll make you a cdr if you want it.

Teenage kids do complain and they rarely tell their parents if they think they ( the parents) made a right decision about something as important as moving. So I would discount that a bit. However if they are not doing as well in school as they did before and truly seem depressed (not just talking about how "depressed" they are) you should probably take some steps. BTW You haven't made it clear (or I haven't understood) whether they say they want to move back to Arizona. Or have they just said they hate NY?

You're right: the tracks with Trane appear on the recent Concord release. But Miles Tones also has 3 cuts with Sonny Rollins from 1957 and a 1953 version of I Got Rhythm most of which is devoted to scatting by Joe Carroll.

Abdullah Ibrahim's African Herbs?

I think Sackville returned the tapes to Roscoe 'cause they could not remove the tape print through for cd release. Probably never see a "silvering" of this record. ← Does that mean the tapes are not usable? What are the prospects of making a master from a mint vinyl copy, can that be done with satisfactory results? Just curious, Kevin Hey I was at that recording sesssion!

The iTunes Music Store has added 2 Coltrane items: Live in Paris, and Live at the Half-Note. Apparently the first one is taken from a Charley release of '61, '63 and '65 concerts. The 2nd was was actualy recorded at both Birdland and the Half Note. They're 5 cuts and 4 cuts respectively and only $3.99 each (!) so I'll probably get them but does anyone know anything about them? They've also added a Miles Davis release called Miles Tones that contains lives recordings from the 50's. I would preseume that all of thtese are bootlegs so I'm surprised to find them on the iTunes store.

These aren't all "live performances" are they?

So called Duo/discs (dual/discs?- I forget how it's spelled) like the last release of Kind of Blue often have the entire cd in 5.1 digital.

I remember the day I heard he died (probably the day after his death) going home and listening to A Love Supreme. It was a complete shock. I hadn't known he was ill.

Mark Cantor has a very good print of it.

My guess is they've used 78s from private collections that were in excellent condition.

me too! Ditto. Before I read these last 2 posts I was about to write one asking "Am I the only one who's happy about this release?" I thnk we're being unjustly harsh with the new owners of Fantasy. They've repackaged a few things quite well. I just wish they'd do more: eg Shelly Mann at the Blackhawk and the 12/24/54 Miles with Monk session.

Hey I'm glad I asked too. Here it is only 5 days after my post and I'm already enjoying these cds. Actually, they arrived yesterday!) Good music, beautifully packaged. At $20 for 2 including shipping they're a bargain. I like the way they're recorded too: the bass on the first cd really gave my subwoofer a workout. BTW I presume "The Gears" had its origins in Night in Tunisia.

There are some cuts on each that aren't in the other package. (Though all the important cuts are on both.)

Wow! I just saw Tom Stoppard's "Rock n' Roll" in London. It's all about Czechoslovakia under the communists, a member of the British Communist party, and Syd Barret! As a result there were a lot of Pink Floyd and Syd Barret cds on display in various London music stores.

John, where can we buy this cd. (Or was that mentioned in this thread and I missed it.)

I just heard from Ron Mann that his film Imagine the Sound is finally going to be released on DVD with stereo sound. For those who don't know the film it features interviews and performances from Cecil Taylor, Bill Dixon, Archie Shepp and Paul Bley. It's been available before on Laser Disc and VHS but only in mono. it's a great film. (I'm not entirely unbiased: Ron is an old friend and ex-student of mine and I wrote the liner notes for the Laser Disc release.) Ron it will be available in September, but these things are usually delayed.

You mean you memorized all this dialogue!!??? Wow, I'm impressed. BTW Do you know how much, if any, of it was in the novel? Or is it all Faulkner/Brackett/Hawks/Bogart/ Bacall?

I don't think the earlier version makes much more sense than the later (imho, better) version. The original novel is the result of 2 earlier short stories cobbled together, and it's not entirely coherent. As I rememer it the famous horse race discussion is placed where one story peters out and the other begins . It's a better bridge between the two than anything in the novel.

"You're not very tall are you? - Well, I, uh, I try to be. So you do get up, I was beginning to think you worked in bed like Marcel Proust. - Who's he? - You wouldn't know him, a French writer. - Come into my boudoir. Speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I like to see them workout a little first, see if they're front runners or comefrom behind, find out what their whole card is, what makes them run. - Find out mine? - I think so. - Go ahead. - I'd say you don't like to be rated. You like to get out in front, open up a little lead, take a little breather in the backstretch, and then come home free. - You don't like to be rated yourself. - I haven't met anyone yet that can do it. Any suggestions? - Well, I can't tell till I've seen you over a distance of ground. You've got a touch of class, but I don't know how, how far you can go. - A lot depends on who's in the saddle. You've forgotten one thing - me. - What's wrong with you? - Nothing you can't fix. I liked that. I'd like more. She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up. I don't like your manners. - And I'm not crazy about yours. I didn't ask to see you. I don't mind if you don't like my manners, I don't like them myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. I don't mind your ritzing me drinking your lunch out of a bottle. But don't waste your time trying to cross-examine me. Do you always think you can handle people like, uh, trained seals? - Uh-huh. I usually get away with it too. - How nice for you." I think some of these lines are from the novel on which the film is based, but much of this dialogue may have been written by William Faulkner. (And I'll leave it to to Ubu to name the film.)

Mazel Tov! (as we say in California).

Is there another title to the song they call Tutti? (1st cut on disc 2.) It's very familiar to me and I think I've got a performance of it on another cd. But I don't see that title on any of my cds and I haven't taken to the time yet to listen to every cut on 10 cds.

Are you sure? That would mean that anything recorded before 1936 was now pd. I'm quite sure he's sure, because that's the way it is! I thought it was now 95 years as a result Disney's lobbying so that first Mickey Mouse cartoon wouldn't enter the public domain.

Well this one got made because Clint wanted to make it. He's known for working efficiently and most of his films are very profitable. Warners has let him do whatever he wants for a couple of decades. This script sat around for ages before he got involved.
