I've heard that Carla Bley is working with Haden on a new Liberation Music Orchestra work.

Alan Lankin's Jazzmatazz, you mean... Unfortunately he hasn't posted a link yet. He's come in from the cold and has now posted a link. Miles Davis - Seven Steps: Complete The Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis, 1963-64 - 7 CDs (Columbia) Sept 28 -- includes material from the following albums: -- Seven Steps to Heaven (studio, Apr-May 1963), with George Coleman (tenor sax), Ron Carter (bass) and either Victor Feldman (piano) & Frank Butler (drums) or Herbie Hancock (piano) & Tony Williams (drums); includes previously unreleased alternate takes of "Joshua" and two of "Seven Steps" with Feldman and a rehearsal take of "Seven Steps" with Hancock -- Miles in Europe (Antibes, 27Jul1963), continuing w/ Coleman/Herbie Hancock/Carter/Tony Williams, with the previously unissued tunes "Bye Bye Blackbird" (16'47) & "Theme" (6'06), plus the unedited versions of "Autumn Leaves" (13'55), "Joshua" (11'36) and "All of You" (16'54) -- the complete Philharmonic Hall concert (12Feb1964), with both sets complete and in performance order (originally issued out-of-sequence as My Funny Valentine and Four & More); includes previously unissued tune "Autumn Leaves" (10'40), plus introductions by Mort Fega & Billy Taylor -- Miles in Tokyo (14Jul1964), with Sam Rivers on tenor sax -- Miles in Berlin (25Sep1964), with Wayne Shorter on tenor sax; includes a previously unissued version of "Stella by Starlight" (12'54) -- in all, set includes over an hour of previously unreleased music

None of whom are related to Stan Lee. [sorry, I couldn't resist!]

But, seriously, if a thread has a lot of pages I generally look at the first page and then, if it seems interesting, I go to the last page. I then back up a page by page until I've gone back a few days or so and then go forward. (The problem is remembering where you've left off if you don't visit every day. I must confess I sometimes keep track of thread pages numbers in my calendar...)

The "Funny Rat" thread sure has grown:

See my email reply...

I have extras of a few of the Jazz Tribunes of Armstrong, Benny Carter, Benny Goodman 3-4, Fletcher Henderson 5-6 and Earl Hines 5-6. See salelist.Jazzmatazz.info for details...

Good points, Chuck. How long do you think copyright should last, though? The current human life-span or...?

I like this better than the original. I kinda like this one, but it makes me think of electronica (circuit-like street diagrams?) rather than jazz.

Thanks for the info Brownie. Gonna place an order for it at CDZone UK, about the only online store that offers to procure it. Will probably be backordered for ages, but no harm trying. Yikes! Just found my Lunceford vol.8 hiding under a stack of other long untouched discs. Time to rein in the unbridled buying. Gotta cancel that order too. I think I have an extra Lunceford Vol. 8. (As well as a few of the earlier volumes.)

True, he did approach me. I replied after a few days, offering to collaborate. He declined my offer, saying he found some other guys to do it. I also no longer see a link to my site.

Up.

Ian Rankin - "Dead Souls"

Oh yeah, it sounds great! I just listened to "Miles in Berlin," which I hadn't heard before. Great Wayne Shorter playing...

"Ivey-Divey" - out 9/21.

No photo, but it looks like I'm also a library director...

Here's a tan for you:

2005? Strange, I just got some press info which still lists the 9/28 date. In any case, here's my summary of the release: Miles Davis - Seven Steps: Complete The Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis, 1963-64 - 7 CDs (Columbia) Sept 28 -- includes material from the following albums: -- Seven Steps to Heaven (studio, Apr-May 1963), with George Coleman (tenor sax), Ron Carter (bass) and either Victor Feldman (piano) & Frank Butler (drums) or Herbie Hancock (piano) & Tony Williams (drums); includes previously unreleased alternate takes of "Joshua" and two of "Seven Steps" with Feldman and a rehearsal take of "Seven Steps" with Hancock -- Miles in Europe (Antibes, 27Jul1963), continuing w/ Coleman/Herbie Hancock/Carter/Tony Williams, with the previously unissued tunes "Bye Bye Blackbird" (16'47) & "Theme" (6'06), plus the unedited versions of "Autumn Leaves" (13'55), "Joshua" (11'36) and "All of You" (16'54) -- the complete Philharmonic Hall concert (12Feb1964), with both sets complete and in performance order (originally issued out-of-sequence as My Funny Valentine and Four & More); includes previously unissued tune "Autumn Leaves" (10'40), plus introductions by Mort Fega & Billy Taylor -- Miles in Tokyo (14Jul1964), with Sam Rivers on tenor sax -- Miles in Berlin (25Sep1964), with Wayne Shorter on tenor sax; includes a previously unissued version of "Stella by Starlight" (12'54) -- in all, set includes over an hour of previously unreleased music (You can see the multi-color listing over at Jazzmatazz.)

This one reminds me of another great drummer-led session: Andrew Cyrille Quintet - My Friend Louis (DIW), with Hannibal, Oliver Lake, Reggie Workman and Steve Colson. I found my copy, with a water damaged, unopenable booklet, in 1996 in a thrift shop in Johnson, Vermont for 25 cents!

I never thought I'd be in the top twenty! (Of course there's a rapid fall off from the first few posters...)

Found sounds? Here someone to check out! ----> Tony Schwartz has been documenting life in sound and pictures since 1945, when he bought his first Webcor wire recorder and began to record the people and sounds around him. From this hobby developed one of the world's largest and most diverse collections of voices, street sounds and music, a collection that resulted in nineteen record albums for Folkways and Columbia. Tony Schwartz: 30,000 Recordings Later - a feature on NPRs "Lost and Found Sound" "New York 19" (Folkways 5558) - An audio study of New York 19, a postal zone in Midtown Manhattan where Tony lived. The material on this record was selected from thousands of tapes, dating back to 1952. It was during this time that Tony recorded the exotic sounds of blind street musician Moondog.

I don't, but it seems some think her intonation sucks. NOT ME THOUGH! Don't you mistake me for "some"! Or you will be immediately de-capitated by my royal troops! ubu I am deifinitely this very some. Sheila Jordan ruins this Rudd disc for me (and I am not a vocal-hater in general, as other some here). I will listen to it again (I bumped upon this CD recently, so why not listen to it - who knows when I find it next time?). Wow, give it another listen! I think that Sheila Jordan's rendition her of "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" is one of the most haunting jazz vocal performances ever!

Sam Rivers/Adam Rudolph/Harris Eisenstadt - Vista (Meta 009) Sam Rivers on sax and flute with two percussionists. Recorded the day before Rivers's 80th birthday! Sounds very good on my first listen...

Thanks for posting the photos, Dmitry! I hope I can attend this one: Ornette Coleman -- The Kimmel Center, Verizon Hall, Broad & Spruce Sts, Philadelphia Sept 17 (Fri) - 8 pm
