ghost of miles

Well, uh... Charlie just announced that he has yet another tape of outtakes from EITHER/OR that he's going to start posting (this is all being done with the permission of the family, btw). Amazing! So "New Monkey" isn't the end of it, evidently...

So has this been postponed? I don't see anything on it at borders.com or cduniverse Greg, According to someone on the Coltrane list, it's being held up due to legal battles over ownership of the tapes. Anybody know the scope of Verve's intended release? The vine that's been going around consists of 4 CDs: Seems like Verve could squeeze that onto 3 CDs, although it would mean breaking up the dates.

And one instance of a PM bouncing back because a certain much-loved poster's PM box is full!

Not enough of a fan these days to say for sure, but is this a combination of: (a) American players' drift from fundamentals catching up with them (b) the fact that our all-star teams play together only briefly, while the teams they're competing against often play together year round?

The few audio posts I've seen elsewhere from Greg over the past year or so have often included finger-wagging chastisements of others for not buying SACDs... He blames consumers for the format's failure (so far) to take off.

Johnny Rogan, A SEVERED ALLIANCE: MORRISSEY & JOHNNY MARR.

Talk about sleeping in!

C'mon, man--everybody knows he was murdered by Art Blakey. A group called Birdland Beboppers for Truth says so!

Charlie has recently posted the last outtake from EITHER/OR: NewMonkey Yet another good tune that got left on the cutting-room floor. Can't wait to hear the new album.

That disc has been out before, hasn't it? I mean, I have it! Unless it's another volume. Interested in the McCall (I've been enjoying her on the new Herman Mosaic) & Thornhill, and will also be interested in the Shaw if there's not too much overlap w/material that I already have.

The new Woody Herman Columbia, an absolutely fantastic set. I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion of it since it actually came out.

Thanks so much, Chuck. I'll take a look around at the station to see if we ever got a promo of that... if not, I'll do a web-hunt.

Started this yesterday: BeforetheStorm It's a book about Barry Goldwater and the rise of the modern right from the ashes of the 1964 election. I met the author at a party Saturday night and we yakked for quite a long time--great guy whom I hope to hook up with again. He's very much a liberal, but conservatives would enjoy this book as well (attested to by William Kristol's glowing review for the book). Perlstein's also done some very good writing about the 2004 campaign. He's the Village Voice's chief national political correspondent--you can find his pieces online here.

Has it ever been put out on CD? I'm doing a Jazz Workshop program including albums from Mingus, Russell & McKusick--would love to include Carisi if the material is available at all.

Exactumundo, JS--you beat me to it. I just taped that track the other day for a Parker program I'm doing this Saturday. Bud & Blakey play on that track as well. Also dig the Glenn Miller version of "Moon Dreams" to which you refer.

I picked this up at a half-off going-out-of-business sale but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet... thanks for the thread, I'll break it out tonight and give it a spin.

I was just in search of a special person named.......,"softsong". Wasn't she a distant relative of Ravi Shankar?

Oh, they've seen worse.... The round-table group from the new PBS Wall Street Journal show?

Now, now, you won't win any bonus points posting your infant pics here! Sad to see the Cheneyesque indoctrination the tykes are getting straight out of the crib these days...

Hey Weizen, I thought the thread title was referring to you! B-)

More kudos for this one. I sat on it for a long time (well, not literally) and finally ordered--very glad when I listened to it. Not material that's likely to re-surface again anytime soon.

Heard about this this morning at the station. Sad news... did he do other movie or TV-related work with jazz themes or tinges, in addition to what was mentioned above?

Ah, the Return of the Rooster! Should be an album...

What's happening with the Half Note Impulse release? I can't find it on the CD Universe website--wasn't it slated for release next week? Any idea how many CDs it will be? The tree that's been circulating contains four.

Superlative record indeed, featured it just a couple of weeks ago.
