These were the tracks I got. They are unedited. There is some idle talk between numbers. The preformace opens with the DJ, speaking in Germany, the tunes and the musiciands names. The unissued numbers, Wes is just comping cords, no soloing. Not sure if any are unissued. Since I am a big Wes nut, I thought I had tracked down all of this music from this date. But there are tracks I didn't have. If you like, PM me and I'll give you the e-mail of the source. It is listed in a different thread I listed. NDR 1. Blue graas (+Ansage) (Ross) (5:52) 2.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Blasting music can be hard on the ears and the neighbors, and now researchers say it can also pack enough punch to collapse a lung. Reporting in the medical journal Thorax, they describe the cases of four young men who suffered a lung collapse -- technically called pneumothorax --that appeared to be triggered by loud music. Three of the men were at a concert or club when the pneumothorax occurred, while the fourth was in his car, which was outfitted with a 1,000-watt bass box because he "liked to listen to loud music." A pneumothorax occurs when a small rupture in one of the lungs allows air to leak into the space between the lungs and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. Symptoms include breathlessness and chest pain on the affected side. A small, partial collapse may resolve on its own, but more severe cases may require the insertion of a chest tube to allow the air to escape the chest cavity. Often, an underlying lung disease or chest injury is the culprit in pneumothorax. But so-called primary spontaneous pneumothorax happens in the absence of an underlying disease, typically striking tall, thin, male smokers. The cases described in the Thorax report suggest that loud music may be one cause of this type of pneumothorax. Though the report cites only a small number of patients, lead author Dr. Marc Noppen told Reuters Health he suspects more cases of music-induced pneumothorax will now be caught. Since the report's publication, he said, doctors in a few countries have told him they've seen similar cases. If more doctors routinely ask pneumothorax patients about their exposure to loud music, the number of injuries attributed to blasting tunes will likely go up, noted Noppen, who is with the Academic Hospital in Brussels, Belgium. In two of the cases his team describes, the men were standing close to large loudspeakers when they suddenly felt chest pain. A third case involved a 23-year-old smoker who had suffered several episodes of pneumothorax. During a follow-up medical visit, the doctors mentioned having seen two music-related pneumothorax cases, and the patient suddenly remembered that two of his attacks happened at heavy metal concerts. Noppen said he and his colleagues suspect that loud music may damage the lungs due to its booming bass frequency, which can be felt as a vibration going through the body. The lungs may essentially start to vibrate in the same frequency as the bass, which could cause a lung to rupture. It's probably a good idea, according to Noppen, to stand back from the speakers at concerts and clubs and to ease up on that car-stereo bass. It might also save your hearing, he added.

I was able to land a copy of the full April 30th session. It includes the un-issued material. Wes isn't soloing on those numbers. This is probably why the tunes remained un-issued. Still nice to have them.

I went saw Lou and his working quintet for the night. The band was tight. Lou even invited some guess to come up and sing a few tunes. Lou did a very nice job backing them up on alto. This was the first time I saw Lou without DR. Lonnie Smith. He changed it up somewhat. No Whisky Drinking Woman, but he did do a different vocal blues called "Cigarette Smoking Man." Also played "Blues Walk" and many Charle Parker numbers.

I saw both shows Saturday night. Brubeck brought his A game. 84 and his chops were still clean and fresh. Keiko Matsui, what the hell is this music? There was more sequencing in her music then in a bride's wedding dress. I couldn't believe that people left after she played. They had no idea who Dave Brubeck was. Sad state of music. Anyone that uses computers while preforming live can't cut it in my book.

Lou is doing a free show this Monday in NY. I will have to check this out. No organ, just a quartet of Alto, Piano, Bass and Drums.

Can anyone tell me more about this session? Where was it recorded? I'm assuming it is live. I don't seem to have this one, but there is so many versions of his stuff out there, I don't want to end up with the same music. AMG has a date of Feb 12 and April 30th. I'm sure I have music from April 30th. The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery [Definitive]

I made contact with someone in Austria who has just about all of these. I going to make a trade, but if they are out and commercially available on CD, I rather buy them. I've searched, but I can't fine them at any place where I've bought CD's before.

Anyone have any of these sessions? I was wondering if they exists on CD. There were a lot big names on these dates. I would love to find some of this music. Here are some names, Kenny Clarke, Lucky Thomson, Wes Montgomery, Johnny Griffin, Oscar Peterson, Ben Webster, Sahib Shihab, Carmell Jones, Lee Konitz, Cecil Payne, Slide Hampton, Phil Woods. NDR

My only knowledge of his playing, is that of the work he did with Django and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. He had a real long life, and did record a lot after his time with Django. What would be a good session to pick up of his post Django works?

I bought the very first Mini Disc player in 1995. Sony MZ-R2. I loved it. I have a MZ-R30 as well as a unit that is part of my stereo setup. Get one.

I never heard Landslide before, but I love every other session he's done for Blue Note. I voted for Go! as well. It has the whole package. I love Reid Miles' cover desgin and of course the music swings.

One more note, Heath's composition, was very powerful. I would highly recommend this when it gets released.

My wife and daughter. When it comes down to it, that's all that matters.

Yeah, I will go, she's opening for him.

Dave Brubeck will be playing at the Planting Fields on Long Island 8/28/04, along with Keiko Matsui, with whom I am not familiar with. Anyone know anything about her playing? AMG lists her as jazz, but I have never heard anything from her.

That may have been his name. Too much applause the one time the band was introduced for me to hear it clearly. Yes, that's who it was. I was up front and did get to hear his name. Great shows.

I just finished this book The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time and now I am on this one. Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory

AAJ board was getting really boring.

Sunday I was at the Carlie Parker festival in NYC. There was a vendor in the park selling CD's. All were live recordings or long OOP session of some know artists, such as McCoy Tyner, Eric Dolphy, Chet Berker, and a number of Blues performers. I asked the vendor if these were legitimate releases where the artists are paid. I never heard of these sessions before. He didn't answer the question, so I didn't buy anything. I would have liked the Dolphy CD. It was 10 dollars there and 15 on line. Anyone ever heard of this label?

I just stumbled across this DVD series. I bought my first one. Dexter Gordon show and a McCoy Tyner set. Anyone one else here have any in this series?

I bet they will try and sell them on ebay. Entertainment - AP Munch's Famous 'Scream,' 'Madonna' Stolen 56 minutes ago By KRISTIAN KAHRS, Associated Press Writer OSLO, Norway - Armed men stormed into an art museum Sunday, threatened staff at gunpoint and stole Edvard Munch's famous paintings "The Scream" and "Madonna (news - web sites)" before the eyes of stunned museum-goers. The thieves yanked the paintings off the walls of Oslo's Munch museum and loaded them into a waiting car outside, said a witness, French radio producer Francois Castang. Police spokeswoman Hilde Walsoe said the two or three armed men threatened a museum employee with a handgun to give them the two paintings, including "The Scream" — Munch's famed depiction of an anguished figure with its head in its hands. "No one has been physically injured, and the suspects escaped in an Audi A6. We are searching for the suspects with all available means," Walsoe told The Associated Press. Many museum visitors panicked and thought they were being attacked by terrorists. "He was wearing a black face mask and something that looked like a gun to force a female security guard down on the floor," visitor Marketa Cajova told NTB public radio. "What's strange is that in this museum, there weren't any means of protection for the paintings, no alarm bell," Castang told France Inter radio. "The paintings were simply attached by wire to the walls," he said. "All you had to do is pull on the painting hard for the cord to break loose — which is what I saw one of the thieves doing." Castang said police arrived on the scene 15 minutes later. Visitors were ushered into the museum's cafeteria. "We don't have all the details on the situation, but we are searching for the suspects in the air and on land," Police Spokesman Kjell Moerk told the public radio network NRK. It was the second time in 10 years that "The Scream" has been stolen. In February 1994, the work was taken and remained missing for nearly three months. Police ultimately recovered the work, which is on fragile paper, undamaged in a hotel in Asgardstrand, about 40 miles south of the capital, Oslo. Three Norwegians were arrested. At the time, investigators said the trio tried to ransom the painting, demanding $1 million from the government. it was never paid. Munch, a Norwegian painter and graphic artist who worked in Germany as well as his home country, developed an emotionally charged style that was of great importance in the birth of the 20th century Expressionist movement. He painted "The Scream" in 1893, as part of his "Frieze of Life" series, in which sickness, death, anxiety, and love are central themes. He died in 1944 at the age of 81. The National Art Museum owns 58 paintings by Munch.

Tommy Flangagan is no longer with us.

How about Frank Wess, Frank Morgan; Jackie McLean; Frank Foster; Phil Woods. Reece is still alive, but I don't think he is playing.
