I believe his wife is French and a non-native English speaker so this may have something to do with what sounds like odd sentiment and syntax.

The first two I would search for are Max Roach +4 (with Rollins/Dorham) and The Max Roach 4 Play Charlie Parker (Dorham/Mobley or Coleman). These are both tremendous records with everyone in peak form. "Jazz in 3/4 Time" is not as strong or consistent overall, though Rollins plays his ass off, especially on "Valse Hot," where he's wilder and more creative than on the original version on his own record a year earlier.

There was only one of those. R.I.P.

Cool podcast series about the history of jazz concerts at the Museum of Modern Art. https://www.moma.org/magazine/articles/1066?sc_src=email_6099927&sc_lid=604885617&sc_uid=aS5gTmJNVc&sc_llid=41242&sc_eh=6b33ec2e2398ebc11&utm_source=Emarsys&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MSHIP_Engagement_Roundup_20240628_All+active&&mi_u=119402927&mi_ecmp=6099927

See Lewis Porter's Coltrane biography, pages 98-99. Some measured negative comments about Coltrane from Nat Hentoff in a Downbeat review of the quintet's first LP on Prestige. Quotes from Sy Johnson also provide context.

That's a LONG version -- too long, really. Gonsalves was often great at sustaining extended solos, but not every time ...

Answering the opening question: Audiophile LP reissues mastered at 45 rpm have been a thing for a long time.

I have this box -- love it

Morgan and Hubbard also both appear on Blakey's "Golden Boy" recorded in late spring 1964.

That's Benny Golson on the left.

Wilder.

There are a handful of listings for Tate on bari in the Tom Lord Jazz Discography, though, curiously, the record with Dollar Brand is not one of them. But that's obviously a bari he's playing on the way out on Poor Butterfly.

That's definitely a baritone saxophone on the out chorus.

Nobody like her. Singing Ligeti ...

His official X (Twitter) account confirms: "It is with sad and heavy hearts that we convey to you the loss of internationally renowned, 6 time Grammy Award-winning, saxophonist, David Sanborn. Mr. Sanborn passed Sunday afternoon, May 12th, after an extended battle with prostate cancer with complications." https://x.com/DavidSanborn/status/1790051862961344992

I never gave much thought to what Padma Lakshmi likes to listen to in the kitchen, but if I had, I certainly would not have guessed that Alice Coltrane's "Journey in Satchidananda" would be on the list. #JazzFromDetroit.

Blue Note Records has confirmed that Cuscuna has died at age 75. Damn. He was a hero and a mensch. I had many interactions with Michael over the years and cherish them all. I always learned something from him. He supported my work and made it possible for me to use several Francis Wolff images in “Jazz from Detroit,” including the cover. A HUGE loss.

My copy arrived today and the music sounds AWESOME. These are easily the best digital copies I've heard and, on first listen (and without actually doing an A-B comparisons) serious competition for the best of my many LP versions.

Thanks. No need to go too deep into it all here. I was just offering up one example that's circulating widely to suggest the relative strengths/weakness of the records as "records" has to be balanced against the live performances that tell the story from a different a different -- and for many a more rewarding -- perspective.

In addition to the live recording, there's also this broadcast tape from the same period. Terrific songs and performances.

A reliable musician source confirms the social media posts I’m seeing that Tootie Heath has died at 88. Tootie was great on record, but you had to hear him live to really feel how alive his cymbal beat was, how high he lifted the bandstand, how deep his swing and groove were, and how many wild chances he took. The videos let you glimpse it. Tootie and Dexter were extra special. From 1967.
