The SuperDrive recognizes the CD right away. Faster than the cd drive in my old iMac.

I just got a new iMac and purchased a USB Superdrive from the Apple Store. I haven't had any problems transferring music from CD to my iMac hard drive. Just open Appie Music and, when you load a CD into the Superdrive, the Superdrive shows up on the left side of Apple Music, right under the iTunes store. Just click on it and then it works just like iTunes worked in terms of displaying the CD and importing the CD into the computer (that is, uncheck any songs you don't want to transfer and then click on Import) At least, that is how it has worked on my computer. It seems absurd that you would not be able to do the same thing with a 2017 iMac. Is your iMac updated to the latest operating system? Transferring the music from the iMac to an iPhone however exceeds my current skills.

Art Ensemble of Chicago, Urban Magic (AECO)

Ravi Shankar, A Morning Raga/An Evening Raga (Angel)

Well, I don't know, I enjoy Johnny Coles' playing. He can also be heard with Gil Evans, who had a pretty good ear for interesting stylists. I heard him in person with Mingus Dynasty back in 1983. But at least, there are plenty of recordings from the 1964 tour without Johnny Coles, if he is not to your taste.

Laurindo Almeida, Guitar Music of Latin America (Capitol)

John Hicks in Concert (Evidence)

That track is wonderful, but in addition, Kenny Dorham and Curtis Fuller are also in top form in their features.

Yes, except the rhythm section is the same throughout: Ronnie Ball, Ben Tucker, David (?) Bailey (Donald Bailey?). Aside from the fantastic Abdul-Malik featured track: Red Door has Zims and Cohn; Lover Man features Herbie Mann; It's All Right with Me features Curtis Fuller; Autumn Leaves features Kenny Dorham, and Wee Dot has Mann, Dorham, Fuller and Sims. The Vogue LP I have appears to be a German pressing. The Notes say it is originally recorded by Roulette. .

John Coltrane, Live at Penn State '63

Thanks. Very interesting.

Joe Chambers/Larry Young, Double Exposure (Muse) Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Abdul-Malik, Curtis Fuller, Kenny Dorham, Herbie Mann, Live in Rio (Vogue)

Clifford Jordan solos first.

I stumbled across the website below of a musician named Henry Robinett, who if you scroll down a bit, has some interesting reminiscences of spending time with Mingus towards the end of his life. Bio - Henry Robinett The only discouraging thing for me during this period was listening to the gorgeous music Charles had written for her, which he called Joni 1, 2, 3, etc. He’d have various pianists come by and play this written music, which was thoroughly notated. This alone was amazing enough as he had a pretty well advanced form of Lou Gehrigs Disease, or ALS. He no longer had the use of his limbs, so he had to dictate the music, which he’d do by calling out the notes to a transcriber, mainly Paul Jeffrey, but sometimes also Sy Johnson or his long time trombonist Jimmy Knepper. I suspect I was being groomed for that task. Then he’d have Armen Donelian, or on one occasion, Phineas Newborn Jr, play through them. And I had already considered Phineas was one of the greatest pianist of all time. What a thrill to sit there, just a few feet away from Phineas as he played songs and talked to MIngus about the old days! This was a very heady time for me, indeed. But the music Charles wrote for Joni was so achingly beautiful, as it was played on solo piano. By the time Herbie and Jaco and Erskine and Wayne Shorter got to it, the music had been so transformed, it was barely recognizable. I was just bitterly disappointed. Nothing against those brilliant musicians, heroes of mine all, or Joni. Somewhere I understand there’s an alternative recording with people Mingus wanted to have play. I can only hope it’s released someday, but I doubt it.

So that means the tapes are in Sue's closet?
