Someone needs to warn Herbie. Sep 12 Sun 8:00 PM Herbie Hancock September 12 Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie | Grand Prairie

Sounded fantastic on first listen to this version.

Yes, just for shipping purposes. I opened the box and there was a Stan Kenton record jacket, with a note to look inside. McCoy Tyner, Expansions (Blue Note Tone Poet) Willis Jackson, Thunderbird (Prestige) Newport Jazz Festival Tribute to Charlie Parker (RCA)

It is a bit pricey per minute, compared to CDs. Nicely made though (quiet pressing). For extra protection, it came hidden inside a Stan Kenton Creative World record jacket.

Neil Norman's liner notes say he found the tape in his father Gene Norman's garage in the 1990s. http://gnpcrescendo.com/wp/ LABEL, REPERTOIRE MUDDY WATERS LIVE IN LOS ANGELES 1954 JUNE 16, 2021 LEAVE A COMMENT >> Link to purchase<< • GNP Crescendo proudly presents a brand new, never-before-heard recording that is essential listening for any student of the blues. Live In Los Angeles 1954 captures the father of the electric blues, Muddy Waters, at the peak of his powers, in a riveting performance that easily explains an immense reputation that continues to this day. • Muddy and his band were appearing at one of deejay and impresario Gene Norman’s legendary blues and jazz promotions at the Shrine Auditorium, which drew unprecedented mixed race crowds to hear some of the best talent the black music world had to offer. On this particular occasion, Muddy’s ensemble featured such luminaries as pianist Otis Spann and harmonica legend Little George. • Their twenty minute set includes the blues classics made famous by Muddy, ‘Hoochie Coochie Man’ and ‘I Just Want To Make Love To You,’ along with exciting romps through ‘Baby Please Don’t Go’ and ‘I’m Ready,’ and there is the bonus of a brief interview with the great man. • The tape of the performance has lain in the Crescendo vaults for decades, until dusted off for this special issue. The sound quality is sensational for a recording of such vintage, and the package is presented on 10-inch vinyl in a deluxe tip-on sleeve, with art in the mode of the iconic early 1950s Gene Norman Presents releases.

Miles Davis and John Coltrane, The Final Tour

Muddy Waters, Live in Los Angeles 1954 (GNP Crescendo, ten inch). When you are Gene Norman's child and clean out his garage, what you find is a tape of a short live set (five songs) from Muddy Waters (the earliest live recording of the Chicago based Muddy Waters?). No Little Walter (Little George is on harmonica), but Otis Spann and Jimmy Rogers are present.

"The forest cobra is a generalist in its feeding habits, having a highly varied diet: anything from large insects to small mammals and other reptiles." There should be plenty to eat then.

Cancelling/Postponing all visits to Grand Prairie for the foreseeable future.

Louis is of course great.

The overvaluation of Louis Armstrong relative to Jellly Roll Morton and Sidney Bechet has gotten absurd.

The Monterey Quartet, Live at the 2007 Monterey Jazz Festival

In my one live experience with the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine many years ago (around 1984), they played Doll of the Bride to close a set. It was utterly fantastic.

The one I was missing that I wanted was the Billie Holiday, Banned from New York. Fortunately, there was a reasonably priced used copy on eBay.

Just listened to the first disc so far. Woody Shaw is on fire. Slow start on first track, but both Understanding and Billie's Bounce are terrific. Good sound too.

It's not the best. The guitar is quite low in the mix. The organ seemed to fluctuate between being too low to loud on the first side. I found it sounded better when I turned it up pretty loud when listening to the second side.
