Well, please tell Mr. Hurt in FN French he just lost another FN fan. Uhh, why? Because he's "Fluent in French, Hurt maintains a home outside Paris."?

That's the one on iTunes. The other Amazon link "Japanese import version: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008K75...8&s=music" seems to contain three of tracks with just haawkins.

Just looked for a copy of a pm I'd sent last week and saw that there's nothing in my "Sent" folder that's less than year old. Is there some setting or preference I've screwed up?

The cd in the Amazon link seems to be a diffferent one than the cd in question. However 3 of the cuts from it are on the iTunes download though Eldridge and Hodges do not play on them. What's the song list on the Hawkins! Eldridge!.... cd. It's not given on AMG.

Who's the rhythm section?

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.
