At the end of the month I will visit doctor on one year anniversary of hearing "diabetic level of A1C" as well as 275.5 on the scale (I'm 6' and a fraction). I had A1C at acceptable level three months after, and expect to be around 85 pounds lost when I see the doc - which per BMI would no longer be overweight but I believe another 10-15 is needed. I've done it thru elimination of most of the foods I enjoy, and starting mid-September daily walks, eventually with a 20 pound weight vest and 4 pound handweights. My drop-dead deadline (no pun intended) is to reach goal weight by my 60th in September.

How much have you lost Kevin? Since I don't mind oversized shirts I don't need to part with any of my jazz or blues tees.

Y'all won't believe it but I did think Bird. Being so bad at guessing I didn't go with it.

You were not kidding about being skewed towards enjoyment. This is one of the least bothersome (for me) BFTs I can recall in a very long time. As usual I have no good guesses but I noticed a plethora of guitarists and doorbells, not to mention so many tunes I know but can never summon from memory. About the least favorite was number 11, a cover of a pop tune I also couldn't bring up from memory. Not a favorite by any means and the performance didn't do much for me. But really, a nice BFT and I will watch the discussion to see if any are ID'd I should have known. Thanks!

As the former Gene Harris Fanatic on Board Krypton, shame on me for not at least sampling a BFT that had the man himself. I did note Thom's reference in his post but it didn't occur to me check the track out. Welcome to the world of BFTs and the board @Matthew Wade Shapiro and I hope you will contribute with commentary on the efforts of others. We've been lacking (mostly) comments outside of the usual suspects.

The last page has it. I am just surprised that they would not follow the template of, I don't know, every single other CD reissue in 40 years?

Just received the CD and truly a WTF moment when I turned it over. No writing credits, no track times, courtesy of Don How Was it done before? Who cares! That's f-ing bullshit.

Clearly, like Just Coolin' Don Was has different conceptions of what "rejected" should mean. Not that I am really complaining, its just interesting when I think of how Michael handled the first CD reissue vs this "Complete Masters".

Thank you for this ... my copy of the new release is due for delivery today, unheard Tina Brooks will be nice. This is now two BN artist recordings of what I think was Junior Parker's biggest hit, "Next Time You See Me" - a part of me really wishes Tina was on that one.

I gotta say I am leaning heavily toward the d/l FLAC thing. Burn a disc, save another, back up the files to a hard drive or two. I'll be good until I kick.

@david weiss Are you aware of any other tapes that this gentleman had? Did he finally find a buyer with Zev or did his heirs sell this one?

What Jim says is true in the sense that what i suggested is not an ironclad rule. 20 years ago I let people "talk amongst themselves" and stayed out of the discussion thread. But that was when participation was a hell of a lot higher than it is today.

How is the music/sound, @bertrand ?

The way it works is that specific guesses get responses from the compiler in this thread. The full reveal is a separate thread in which you give all details you wish to give on every single track, with the option of your own comment on any particular track.

This doesn't fit in the Phil Schaap thread, because its from the Leonard Gaskin Collection at the Smithsonian, and doesn't fit in the Percy France thread since it doesn't involve Percy. Duke Jordan interviewed by fellow Brooklyn jazz artists Ray Abrams and Willie Jones (Leonard Gaskin operated the video camera and is heard but not seen). Never seen by anyone since it was recorded at Leonard Gaskin's home on June 15, 1989. Leonard Gaskin Papers, Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution.

Thank you!

What about deleting the 11,000 and starting with auto-approve, or a presumption of legitimate interest for most accounts, going forward?

Definitely sad to hear, I am sure this will hit Allen Lowe especially hard as I believe they were close.

As I posted in reply to Jim's question, the account seems to have disappeared. Perhaps FB's system watches for banned IP addresses.

I do not know. But the account seems gone again so they may have killed it by targeting his IP. Which suggests a VPN might fix his problem.

Allen is looking to build back his friends list under a new account, Lowe Allen. If you were following Allen's FB posts before please consider sending a friend request.

I put a track from the Billy Mitchell on a BFT many many moons ago.

This place needs new posters. Or else it will consist of what are you listening to now, punctuated very occasionally by actually interesting conversation. Nobody wants spammers but why keep the door shut 99.9% of the way? Avoid the extra work of banning someone who spams and removing their posts?

I am hoping for reports on this one especially sound compared to original tape that circulated among those in the know or with connections or, I imagine at some point, an internet connection and Bit-Torrent software.
