  1. That's a tough one to miss but better to be safe ...etc
  2. Got my booster shot the other day as has almost everyone I know. (I guess most of my friends area over 65.)
  3. Were they not together live at Newport before the recording was made?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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).
  9. https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/coltrane-love-supreme/ Iverson on it.
  10. 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.
  11. But not to my house. Just got an e-mail that it's coming tomorrow.
  12. Because people are influenced by what they hear on records. Not everyone lives in a large city where they can hear live music. Even in large cities an audience that's had a chance to listen to a band's new music on record is going to react differently than if they haven't. E.g. Had the audience that heard Miles at Newport in '55 heard Musings of Miles or the December 24,'54 session?
  13. I have an image of thousands of Amazon trucks making deliveries tomorrow....
  14. It took me years to figure out the release dates of Miles' recordings. I think Losin was able to nail most of them. Old Schwann catalogues help. Release dates really change the history.
  15. I've always liked Rushing Lullabies. The You and Me We Used to Be-- the very last record he did-- is very good.
  16. This is one includes Bird's set.
  17. Looks like it was released: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064107/reference
  18. Me too. On Amazon it was a couple of hundred bucks.
  19. I bought tickets about 2 years ago for a concert with the Marvels. Cancelled for covid but rescheduled with Gerald Clayton, Reuben Rogers and Justin Brown. (It's ok, I've seen him with the Marvels, including Lucinda Williams, a couple of times.) I first heard him when Kieth Jarrett was still with him so that must have been nearly 50 years ago. Then didn't see him until I moved to Santa Barbara. i think I've seen him here 5 times in the last 20 years. Charles is 83, stood for the whole 2 hour with no intermission concert and danced a lot in a manner reminiscent of Monk-- including throwing his right elbow up as Monk did IIRC. Began with Dirge and then spoke about the passings of George Wein, Phil Schaap and Mikis Theodorakis. (He explained he usually didn't speak much at concerts but felt it was ok since he considered The Lobero his living room. ) I've never heard him sound better and I was very impressed by the rest of the group.
  20. http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Sessions.aspx?s=590402. The tv show is on the expensive CBS 50th. Anniversary of KOB set.
  21. He also wrote "Duel" the tv movie directed by Steven Spielberg.
  22. I think that the second refrain in Splanky is iconic-- and I hate that word.
  23. He was very prolific and very nice.
  24. Wow! Thanks so much. Just looked at it. The English translation of the story is dedicated to me so I narcissistically collect all the different editions of it I can find, but I don't have the one they show. Pepper Adams read The Bass Saxophone after he'd been diagnosed with cancer. He contacted Josef and invited him to a club engagement where the three of us sat and drank between sets.
