On Coltrane's Blue Train, there are alterntive takes of Blue Train and Lazy Bird. The Blue Note discography list these 2 alterntive takes. I was speaking with someone that claims to have gotton a copy of this session of Cotrane, a bootleg that conatains many more takes of every tune from that album. He said Blue Train alone, there are 4 other takes then what's been issued. Do more takes exists from that date? I would think they would have been listed in the Blue Note discography.

The sadest part of this post is, that he had to get money from Max Roach to get home. Dispite how great a musician he was, Woody never really made much money. I guess that could apply to many jazz artists in the 1970's and 1980's. Hopefully it has gotten a little better.

How about Phil Woods?... No wait, he only played with Bird's wife and Bird's horn. I guess that doesn't count.

Sad indeed. I watched that show every week. Even went and saw "The Nude Bomb" when that came out in the late 70's early 80's.

I believe it worked. I tried to sign-up a second time and it tells me I am already in their list.

Sorry Haroldo Rivera, this vault will have many gems... Horace Silver is about to open his vault, so to say. He has just launched is offical web site. http://www.horacesilver.com/ I can't wait to see what gets released.

That's right, Harry Carney as far as I knows, was always Ellington's band.

I started to wonder of any musicians that remained with bands for an extreme long period of time. Those that come to mind are Freddie Green with Count Basie orchestra. He was there even after Basie died. Then there were Johnny Hodges and Billy Strayhorn who were always in Ellington’s band. Can you think of any others?

Yes, I even have a real poor sounding Parker album with both of them on it. I totally forgot about that record.

I forgot Jay McShann and Peterson.

The only ones that come to the top of my head are Max Roach and Hank Jones. Are there any others?

He's up there for me as well. In the top 3 Trumpet players in my book

Lost an arm too. That really sucks. Only 44. Man he left some real great music behind.

Neither did I. Found out here. Dead Musicians

Being in New York, and Woody Shaw being killed by a train, just wondered which subway line was he hit by that caused his death.

Welcome to the board.

Sad news. 96 is a long life. He did such a great job for justice and making the world never forget what took place.

I was doing some searching on the web and this popped up. This forum in lo-fi. Organissimo

This is off the subjects, but browsing these sites and looking at the covers makes me think, how much shit there must be in the vaults of some of these companies. Most will probably not see the light of day again. I would like to get a hold of this one.

Heard some music today, When the DJ named who was on the B3, I thought I should listen to more of his playing. Any recommendations?

Kitten update: Last week, the 10 Spot detailed a Lexington, Ky., radio station's promotion in which an on-air personality named Kitten will have one piece of her clothing removed from a billboard after each University of Kentucky football victory. With the Wildcats' 41-29 win last Saturday against Idaho State, Kitten has doffed her shirt. As it turns out, though, she was modestly wearing a T-shirt under her white button-down oxford. UK visits another perennially lousy football school, Indiana, this Saturday in another winnable game. 2. A Colorado arrest warrant was issued on Wednesday for ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman after he missed a court appearance stemming from July charges of speeding and reckless driving. Rodman accepted the news happily, though, saying it's the most wanted he's felt in years. 3. Shaquille O'Neal helped Miami Beach police make an arrest over the weekend. The Heat center first trailed the car of a man who allegedly assaulted a gay couple, and then alerted an arresting officer. The alleged assailant said that he wasn't expecting the double-team. 4. A Rams executive will be disciplined by the team for leaving a threatening message on the voice mail of a sports columnist. As punishment, the exec will serve as liaison to Rams alumni, starting with Kyle Turley. 5. Many readers wrote in to suggest a successor to Mark Messier for the title of Greatest Head in Sports, though most interpreted the category as Greatest Bald Head. Shaq garnered the most support, with votes also cast for Andre Agassi, Kevin Garnett, Evander Holyfield, Michael Jordan, Larry Walker, Jay Buhner and soccer ref Pierluigi Colina. Dave of Atlanta suggested that no vote for the best bald head in sports could be complete until readers get a chance to look at what is (or is not) lying underneath the 10 Spot's hat. (For the record, I am not bald, though that likely won't be true forever.) In the end, I have to agree with Chad from Honolulu's suggestion of Grizzlies forward Shane Battier's curiously furrowed noggin. As Chad puts it, "What other cranium allows science to track the lobes of the brain without actual brain surgery?" 6. One of the world's top stallions, Dubai Excellence, was supposed to be shipped from England to Australia in February for the upcoming breeding season, but an apparent mix-up caused an Irish-bred horse to be sent in his place. It was several months before anyone noticed the switcheroo. On a darker note, though, some equine activists believe that Dubai Excellence's travel was disrupted by ethnic profiling.

Your name: Your e-mail address: Your home town: Enter your question: 7. Injury report: Fellas, you might want to turn away before reading the next two sentences. Our Injury of the Week comes from German soccer, where Chavdar Yankow sustained a three-inch cut in his penis from a hard tackle. Incredibly, Yankow stayed in the game after receiving six stitches and later scored a goal in a 2-0 win for Hamburg 96 over Frankfurt. Down under, meanwhile, Australian rules football player Brett Backwell had one of his fingers amputated on Tuesday in an attempt to improve his game. Backwell has suffered pain and restricted movement in his left ring finger since breaking it three years ago, and much like former 49ers tough guy Ronnie Lott, decided it would be better just to lop the digit off. Fortunately, Yankow should avoid any amputation of his injured body part. 8. A strange play in Wednesday night's Red Sox-Blue Jays game highlighted an obscure and, to our thinking, bizarre rule. With Boston's Gabe Kapler on first and one man out in the fifth inning, Tony Graffanino homered over the left field wall. Kapler, who was busting hard in case the ball didn't clear the wall, collapsed after rounding second with a ruptured left Achilles' tendon. After five minutes on the turf, Kapler was carted off the field. Pinch runner Alejandro Machado was allowed to replace Kapler at second base and trot home in front of Graffanino. According to the story on mlb.com, baseball's rule book includes this provision: "If an accident to a runner is such as to prevent him from proceeding to a base to which he is entitled, as on a home run hit out of the playing field, or an award of one or more bases, a substitute runner shall be permitted to complete the play." That just seems odd. When two outfielders collide and fall to the ground injured, for instance, the defense can't call timeout. A freak injury that occurs during a live play should be accepted as part of the game, albeit an unusual and unlucky part. I'd allow Kapler to be replaced, but Machado would have to stay on second. 9. The University of Southern California will no longer sell alcohol during home football games at the L.A. Coliseum. Students will now have to smuggle it in like everywhere else. 10. Reader submission from Scott of Pittsburgh: "Lance Armstrong recently announced his engagement to Sheryl Crow and shortly after revealed that he would resume training with his Discovery cycling team in December. What some guys will do to avoid choosing china patterns." Thanks as always for all your entries, though we have decided to hold off on the next all-reader-submission edition until Friday, Oct. 7.

Have agood one.

A speedy recovery Johnny. The worlds a better place with you in it.

I wish I could have seen this show.

That's great to hear. Hope it will keep up. There's no startion in the NY area playing them.
