ghost of miles

I saw that too, Clunky. I don't mind the omission, but it does seem rather odd, given the "Complete" title. This is such a fantastic set! I just finished Gene Lees' LEADER OF THE BAND biography (a good book despite the annoying jibes against rock 'n roll) and listened to the set again while doing so. I'll be revisiting this one frequently.l

The archived programs are finally available: ArchivedNightLights

Alejo, thanks for the comments & suggestions--I think that would make the "Book Nook" list more readable, and we could probably wrap the text around a small picture of the dust-jacket. Mike, I've thought about that, as I'd like to do something on Gryce for the new program. I might edit what we did down to a 2-part, 2-hours-total special (total time for the original broadcasts was about 150-160 minutes after subtracting news, underwrites, etc.). I'm planning the January-April programs right now & will probably throw that into the mix--most likely March.

BTW I screwed up on the tag at the end of the Parker show--next week's program will be "Four Women: The Philips Recordings of Nina Simone." The program on THE CONNECTION will air on Sept. 11.

Well, I'm not sure--but the vine material was evidently booted from broadcasts taped by Boris Rose. Who has oversight of the Rose-taped material now? I'm assuming the Coltrane estate rightfully wants control... a conflict between them & the Rose owners? I honestly don't know, as there were no specific references in the Coltrane list post, but I hope it gets settled & that we can eventually hear this music.

Hey, thanks, Pryan! It's weird to have it posted on the site before it's even been broadcast, but I'm glad folks don't have to be up late to hear it now. The BOSTON 1952 disc is awesome, esp. the first half w/the Twardzik/Haynes/Gordon/Mingus line-up. The booklet is pretty amazing as well.

Just picked up a nice used copy of YOU JUST FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE a couple of days ago w/out realizing it was nearly his birthday... love you always, Prez.

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.

Thanks for the feedback, folks. We'll be adding pics of the book covers to the "Book Nook" link & doing some other things to give the site more visuals--a bit text-heavy right now, I think. The webmaster's wife is due to give birth any day now, so it may be a week or two--same w/the archived programs, which are on the server but not yet linked to my page. If you know of any particularly good Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Kansas City or other midwestern jazz sites, let me know & I'll add them.

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

Any lined up in the Michigan area yet?

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!

Not yet added: Joe Milazzo's article on Ran Blake and Mike's book about Gryce. Should have those tacked on next week. Suggestions for further website/book additions are welcome. I just realized that the Parker show is already up for listening, under the "Current audio" tab... guess I'd better post the playlist, huh?

ThisweekonNightLights The home-page is up, as well as all links save for the archived programs (hopefully by the end of today): NightLights The link to Jazz Internet resources features this forum prominently at the top. Mike Fitzgerald and Alan Lankin's sites are mentioned as well: JazzInternetResources We'll be tweaking the site in the days & weeks to come... adding cover shots of the recommended books, replacing the link addresses w/titles, etc. Please feel free to post feedback & comments here or to e-mail me at the address given in the contact info. Next week: "Four Women: The Philips Recordings of Nina Simone." Coming soon: shows on THE CONNECTION, the early recordings of Charles Mingus, and the Herbie Nichols Project, including an interview with pianist, co-leader, and Organissimo poster Frank Kimbrough.

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.

Hmmm.... might make for an interesting read: I'd still like to read a really well-done bio & have yet to encounter one. (Shelton's book is fairly good up through the mid-60s and then really disintegrates IMO.)

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.
