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

Paul Bley - Nothing to Declare (Enja)

We call them "Airborne Distress."

Listed for pre-order for $11.87 at CD Universe.

Entitled "Too Damn Hot" !

Maran, Thanks for the thread. I'm a dad as well. (Two girls, 16 & 10.) The bad news is that I've been fighting off a fever for almost a week. And I worked about 60 hours last week including at midnight at 3 am this morning. Bah. The good news is that my kids will be coming over to my house this morning. Maybe we'll walk over to the coffee shop; I'm not up to anything more ambitious...

Kevin, Sorry to hear the news about your Dad. Good luck to him, I have a friend who beat it. I lost my own dad last year, so I'm thinking about him a bit today.

When a friend of mine was student teaching, he had a student named Vagina Butts! (Her siblings were named Monday Butts and Friday Butts, after the day-of-week of their birth. Their mother must have had a somewhat limited imagination!)

So, it's come to this: Trammell Starks - Come Away With Me: The Music Of Norah Jones (Life2) June 29

How many Knock-Knock Jokes does it take to change a lightbulb?

And Dave Burrell has a new release out with William Parker and Andrew Cyrille: Dave Burrell's Full-Blown Trio - Expansion (High Two Recording 001) June 8 Stride meets free jazz meets Jelly Roll Morton.

Or you can order it from CD Universe for $13.29.

I have it and am enjoying it. The combination of musicians could well have brought on a train wreck, but it does seem to hang together. And I just learned that the group will be playing in Philadelphia on 6/23!

It shrunk in the dryer.

My favorite Lacy with Aebi vocals is his Tao suite, "The Way."
