Tried. "In store only".

I saw the original production of Pacific Overtures in NY while it was in previews. I was stunned by how good it was and was bragging about how we were lucky to see it when we did because once it officially opened it would be impossible to get tickets. Then it opened, got shit on by the critics and disappeared. (It was revised years later in a much smaller production and was better received.)

My local record store didn't get a cd copy and Amazon is saying they're out of stock. I'd ordered it from Amazon in June but when I track the order it says "Not yet shipped We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date." I don't know whether that means they've put one aside for me but just haven't shipped it or I need to wait for another shipment. (Does that even happen with record day cds?). I don't know why I care so much-- I've got everything on it except one set that Peter Losin says isn't that good. Track package

I thought he did a great job both playing piano and arranging on Jimmy Rushing's Lp "The You and Me that Used To Be".

I agree. I've seen Pharoah with McCoy Tyner at the Lobero and with his own group at a rock festival. Liked him both times.

Do you think the trajectory of Archie Sheep's playing has anything to tell us about "what if he had lived"?

Saw the quartet in Montreal in '64 or '65. I was sitting on Elvin's side of the stage and I only heard Jimmy when he soloed. I was writing a jazz column for the McGill daily and might be able to find my review.

Did anything Mancini do before Peter Gunn hint at what was coming? (All I really know is the score to A Touch of Evil which is good but which you wouldn't think was by the same guy.)

With orchestra. Here's the result of my research: check March 9, 1974. http://tdwaw.ellingtonweb.ca/TDWAW.html#Yr1974 Don Georges's description of this concert is quite moving. And I was wrong that this was EKE's last public appearance-- he and the band played at least two more concerts later in the month.

A long time from tonight but I just got tickets to. https://www.laphil.com/events/performances/1362/2022-01-20/symphonic-ellington-new-world-a-comin-with-gerald-clayton I might have dithered over going if it were any other piano player.

Bitch's Brew?

Which ones are his early fusion records?

Roger Williams was very popular when I was young.

I saw Strozier live with Harold Mabern 50+ years ago and in the vernacular of the time it blew me away. I'd never heard of them at the time so it taught me to not just go hear your favorites. I've bought several of his records since and though I like them all nothing has reached what I heard then. I'll have to give this a try.

That's a tough one to miss but better to be safe ...etc

Got my booster shot the other day as has almost everyone I know. (I guess most of my friends area over 65.)

Were they not together live at Newport before the recording was made?

Some of them have been pretty essential: The Monk /Coltrane concert, Diz and Bird at Town Hall , the Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall and everything so far released from the Savory collection. You can hear the unissued (often for legal reasons) material from the Savory Collection on a computer at The National Jazz Museum of Harlem.

The recording reminds me of when I heard the quartet live. I was sitting on Elvin's side of the stage and I only heard Jimmy when he soloed. Actually I listened to the cd on head phones this am and had no trouble hearing everyone though Elvin was a bit loud.

IIRC (and I often don't) someone here posted a link to a story that explained why Coltrane chose to play ALS that night but I can't find it. Anyone remember where it was from? Also imagine someone hearing this who had never heard the studio version. When they finally heard the studio version would they find it too tame?

Yes. That's my point. I guess I should have said between the 2 sessions done for the record. but people didi get to hear it before the record was released.

Probably past tense. However in studying the history there are cases where the recordings show us what had already happened live (Birth of the Cool) and recordings that tell us what we're next going to hear live (KOB-- though in that case the famous tv version of So What was done in the midst of the recording session).

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with paper inner sleeves? Is there an alternative. (This really is just being curious-- I don't have a turntable.

But not to my house. Just got an e-mail that it's coming tomorrow.
