They're good. Some are of mainly of historical interest (e.g the march on Washington) but all are well chosen-- the best of the concerts they're sampling I believe.

Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Cutting-Edge-1965-1966-Bootleg-Vol-12/dp/B015LDCYDG/ref=sr_1_2?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&qid=1535083463&sr=1-2-mp3-albums-bar-strip-0&keywords=bob+dylan+bootleg+12 I expect they didn't make the offer to cheap skates like me who ordered the download instead of the cds.

Hmmm I bought the complete vol 12 but as a download. (And a hard copy of the 2cd set.)

IIRC at the same time as the Smith/Ewell cd was made there was a CBC TV program made with them performing. I interviewed The Lion at that time (I'm embarrassed to say I didn't really understand his significance at the time). That program may still be in the CBC archives.

I just got the Bob Dylan Live 1962-66 set. The print on the notes is so small and blue on a black background (WTF!) so I can hardly read it. However It does seem to say of 8 cuts "Download from the Bootleg Series Vol 12. The Cutting Edge 1965-1966 Collector's Edition". What does that mean?

From his FaceBook profile: Louis Armstrong Historian, Author and Archivist; dedicated family man; piano abuser; donut enthusiast Director of Research Collections at Louis Armstrong House Museum And producer (with others) of several reissues, including the last Armstrong Mosaic.

Ricky Riccardi strikes again!

That's funny! Bur I think they're in the wrong order: I remember them as Huey, Dewey and Louis.

This may explain Avakian's decision to leave. BTW Did you find this just by Googling or is there a Billboard website that's searchable?

Does anyone know who worked for whom when George Avakian and Mitch Miller were both at Columbia? Avakian was supposedly in charge of popular as well as jazz recordings (he did discover Johnny Mathis) but Miller seems to have a pretty free rein-- he takes credit/blame for keeping Columbia out of the Rock and Roll business until the '60s.

I thought the original article was pretty good-- covered all the points that Myers brings up. And I'd argue that the Franklin sisters should get a piece of the copyright on their version just for adding the "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." All the Times article is arguing is that the original "only the writers get paid for air-play" was unfair. I've never studied the history of it but I presume that it's because when radio started ASCAP was more powerful than the AFM. As to whether she got a fair shake from Atlantic: I've always found it ironic that the Erteguns were so active in The Blues Foundation or whatever it was trying to get royalties for older performers when one of the companies the performers complained about was Atlantic. (I remember Charles Mingus complaining that he never got any royalties until RCA released Tijuana Moods. ) All this may explain why just a few years ago when I saw Aretha , a friend of mine who was playing in her band told me to watch her put her purse under the piano. Even then she got paid in cash and took it on stage with her.

One that I think has never been released on cd.

Yes! Though he's most famous for some of his shots of rock musicians (he took the one of Johnny Cash giving the finger) Marshall took some great photos of jazz musicians . His book entitled "Jazz" has one of Gil Evans I've never seen elsewhere. I was planning to buy a print from him as a present to myself but he died before I did so. (A friend of his had given me the book as a catalogue when he heard I collected photos of jazz musicians. )

OK I just looked in my Pepper Adams discography and not only does it give 1956 as the date but has a couple of quotes from Curtis Fuller that make it clear they thought they were getting Mile's group but Red never showed. (The quintet was at Storyville that week.) So just ignore my first posting here.

I listened to the Music Jazz channel one night and was surprised to find it pretty good.

That's weird in that Cuscuna is the producer of this cd. OTH 1956 makes more sense to me now that I've listened to the cd.

I just noticed that only 2 Trane discographies I've got access to list this date as being from 1956 not '55 as the cd notes say. Is there a definitive discography?

I just got the Blue Note cd from an Amazon seller and haven't listened to it yet but looking at the notes I realized that the 3 cuts from the Transition session are from before Chambers, Philly Joe and Trane joined Miles. Only Philly Joe had recorded with him before but only once back in '53. Tom Wilson seems to have put together most of the first great quintet before Miles did. I've never read that any of the three had recommended the others to Miles but.....

For some reason she never allowed the release of a concert film that the late Sydney Pollack shot. I think it was the concert that was the basis for the "Amazing Grace" Lp. BTW I think her Columbia recordings get a bad rap. Didn't John Hammond produce them, or at least sign her?

I've been thinking about artists who go through many changes at the beginning of their careers but settle into groove they like for the last half of their life that may seem less adventurous than what they were doing at the beginning: Miles, Dylan, Sonny, Dizzy-- anyone got any other examples? Who knows what Coltrane would have done in the last twenty years he should have had. And I think I saw Sonny in every decade since the '60s. The only time I was disappointed was in '64 or '65 when it seemed to me he was too influenced/intimidated by Coltrane. IIRC he was accompanied by Grant Green! (Did I hallucinate that?)

Harmonica Frank for example. To whom, both Griel Marcus and Allen Lowe give credit. And speaking of "God Didn't Like it": Allen, did you ever release or post the "soundtrack" to it? And I agree that "What Was the First Rock and Roll Record" is a great read. And "Blues part 2" from the first JATP concert is the first and earliest record they list. (Though I believe it wasn't released till several years after the concert took place.)

My copy of the cd jewell box has a hole punched in it so I must have bought it remaindered.

Did they pick up the whole band when they did shows in the west? How long would this group have been together?

OK, but who are they? Or rather what else have they released? (Am I just showing my usual ignorance here?)

Yes. He died. There was a thread about it on this forum.
