I had to wear a long sleeve cotton pullover today, since the temperature dropped down to the low '70s. Still dressed in shorts and sandals, though. B-) (I don't miss the northeast - where I'm from - especially at this time of the year)

Indeed. I "grabbed one" from a fellow Org member off the "Offering and Looking For" topic just a few months ago.

Thanks, but with all due respect to the variety of tastes on this board, this disc had much too much grease and funk for me. One of the few pieces that made me stop and listen for the whole track was track #20 whcih reminded me of my teenage years when I was into doo-wop, both black and white varieties. This is one of the latter examples: It is track #6 on HERE.

That's a very good record that I have on LP only. Has it ever been issued on CD?

Huge Jet fan here, season ticket holder since '67. How do I get over this past Saturday's fiasco? I know all you Patriot fans would rather we have won, because if it's Belichick/Weiss vs. Herm/Hackett, it's just no contest. Still, it would have been nice to knock off the Steelers on their home turf.

I was there that night and even remember meeting and talking to Ornette Coleman in the lobby during intermission. I also still have the program and ticket stub (price: $6).

I just went down to the "archives" where I got the following info from either the back of the LP record jackets (1979 - 1983 issues) or from the record labels themselves (1974-1976 issues). I'm sure you're aware that only the year of copyright and release is stated, not the month. I don't have any of the CDs in question.

As it is, I only recognized some of your titles, not all, as having been led by Archie Shepp, Kenny Dorham, Dexter Gordon or Anthony Braxton.

I have a substantial collection and have moved several times over the years. I have never insured my collection, believing that it would be a major hassle to document everything for insurance purposes and, quite frankly, not wanting to have yet another insurance bill to pay. Yet, many people when seeing my collection for the first time will invariably assume that it is insured by asking the question expressed in the topic title. So who here has done it? If so, how much of a hassle was it? And also, what does the bill run?

I have a database too. But how does that help you when you're out and about and you see a CD that you may want to buy? Do you carry a printout with you?

January 19th. Recorded on this date: 1) 1957, Art Pepper MEETS THE RHYTHM SECTION: 2) 1959, Bill Evans with Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones record (Riverside): "You and the Night and the Music", "How Am I to Know?", "Woody'n You" (2 takes), "My Heart Stood Still" and "On Green Dolphin Street". 3) 1968, Nat Adderley leads a group that includes Joe Henderson, Jeremy Steig*, Joe Zawinul, Victor Gaskin and Roy McCurdy that records (Milestone): "Unilateral", *"The Scavenger" and "But Not for Me".

Ditto. That's the easiest way, although when you place Albert Ayler next to Louis Armstrong, it can be a little disconcerting to the jazz knowledgable visitor looking over your collection.

Around the same time as the Columbia LPs, a live session was issued on the Fontana label, titled "Oscar Brown Jr. Live in Washington". That is also quite good and very much on a par with the Columbia studio sessions

January 18th. Recorded on this date: 1) 1955, Clifford Brown & strings, 1st day of a 3 day session (Emarcy): 2) 1959, Jackie McLean records part of JACKIE'S BAG with a quintet of Donald Byrd, Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones (Blue Note): 3) 1993, Bennie Wallace records THE OLD SONGS, 1st day of a 3 day session (AudioQuest or JVC):

Indeed, I do have the Celluloid 2 LP set of "The Complete Amsterdam Concert, 8 December 1957". For those wondering how "complete" subsequent CD reissues are, here is the list of tracks on this set: Side 1: Woody'n You (5:03) Bags' Groove (7:00) Side 2: What's New (3:38) But Not for Me (6:49) A Night in Tunisia (7:15) Side 3: Four (4:28) Walkin' (6:34) Well You Needn't (5:26) Side 4: 'Round Midnight (5:33) Lady Bird (5:30) Since the timings above check in at under 57 minutes total, it's obvious that the entire concert can easily be accommodated by one CD.

If you're ever possibly considering the Trane Atlantic box set, PM me. I have an extra one for sale and AFAIAC it's just as essential, perhaps more so, than the Prestige box.

Regarding Chris Capers, in addition to the Dec '69 recording session discussed above, I have a private tape of a Dewey Redman led group that includes CC: Location: Washington Square Church, NYC Date: 21 March 1971 Personnel: Dewey Redman, Chris Capers, Leroy Jenkins, Richard Davis and Eddie Moore. Titles: unknown title, "Landing on the Sun What" Guess I'll transfer this along with the '69 session (eventually).

Hey guys: I came upon this thread a little late it seems, but I've got good news. I have a large treasure trove of private stuff on open reel tape (ask Dan Gould), most of which I have catalogued into an Excel spreadsheet. All of it was collected in my single days i.e., between 1970 and '84 when I traded tapes with a lot of people from all over. Somehow I didn't catalog this session perhaps because it was not a concert, rather an unreleased recording session. To get to the point, I do have this session. Date as noted is correct, but don't know the label as all I have in my notes are "unreleased recording session". Not sure if it's all of it but I do have 4 cuts: Personnel: Dewey Redman, Chris Capers, Bob Cunningham, Rashied Ali, Ed Blackwell and Eddie Moore. (Not sure since the latter 3 names are all drummers that they all play on each of the cuts, more likely they substitute for each other during the session). Titles: "Interconnection " (take 2), "P.S." (take 1), "Look for the Blackstar" and "Appleitis". Now I can probably transfer it to cassette but I would like to transfer it to CD-R. If Lon's reading this, maybe it's time for me to get the HHB burner because I don't think I have the patience (at this point in my life) to hook up an open reel deck to a PC and then navigate through Goldmine software. Caveat: A few of my open reel tapes have begun to squeal, making them inaudible. Let's hope this is not one of them. Martin

I'll second that. A very good book, which tempted me to read his subsequent biography regarding Dylan, Richard & Mimi Farina until I realized after a couple of pages (having loaned it from the library) that I simply don't care anywhere near as much about the music these subjects have produced as I do about various jazz greats. B-)

Having driven from southeast Florida to New York and back on several occasions, I learned a long time ago, say around 1975, to keep quite a load of jazz cassettes, and now CDs, in the car to pleasurably occupy the time. Of course, this did not work a year and a half ago when I flew in to New Jersey and drove back my mother-in-law's 1988 Mercury Sable (totally clean and only 35,000 miles on it in 14+ years!) which - strangely believe it - did not have a cassette player and (of course) not a CD player in it. That was one LONNNGGGG ride back home.

January 17th. Recorded on this date: 1) 1951, Charlie Parker Quintet with Miles Davis, Walter Bishop Jr., Teddy Kotick and Max Roach record (Verve): "Au Privave", "She Rote", "K.C. Blues" and "Star Eyes". 2) 1951, Miles Davis appears again the same day, this time as a leader of a sextet that includes Sonny Rollins, Bennie Green, John Lewis, Percy Heath and Roy Haynes for Prestige. Group records: "Morpheus", "Down", "Blue Room", "Whispering" and "I Know" (last cut has Miles on piano and Green and Lewis are out). ****Anyone know which session was recorded first that day?**** 3) 1957, Duke Ellington and a septet that includes Paul Gonsalves and Clark Terry record: "The Riff", "Bluer", "Wailing 'Bout" and "I Cover the Waterfront"; available on DUKE ELLINGTON, THE PRIVATE COLLECTION, Vol. 7 (Saja). 4) 1960, Donald Byrd Quintet with Hank Mobley, Duke Pearson, Doug Watkins and Lex Humphries record most of BYRD IN FLIGHT (Blue Note): "Ghana", "Gate City", "Lex", "Child's Play", "Carol" and "Soulful Kiddy". 5) 1961, Freddie Redd Sextet including Jackie McLean, Benny Bailey and Tina Brooks record REDD'S BLUES (Blue Note).

I've had the Mingus Mosaic box set of LPs for many years as it was among the very first issues by Mosaic. This discussion makes me want to put the LPS on my turntable again as I have only been listening to CD-R copies of the Mosaic Mingus CD box that a friend made for me some time ago. The convenience and programmability of CDs are the reason that so many of my LPs have languished on shelves for a long, long time.
