It is curious that it never seems to have had a commercial release. I wonder why Sony didn't try to get the rights at the time of the JJ box.

Please don't let Geraldo Rivera host the special.

Wasn't Hank with Miles for about 2 years, going by Losin's website? As far as recordings, I see Someday My Prince was recorded in March of 1961, and his last appearance with Miles on record is the Carnegie Hall date in May of that year. And I don't think his tenure with Miles was that much longer than that window. Where do you see otherwise? Here's the relevant section from Miles' autobiography: http://hankmobley.blogspot.com/2004/10/miles-davis-autobiography-mentions-of.html Hank was replaced by Rocky Boyd (not Rocky Body).

Yes, I saw Mixon once, at the Gate too, I believe it was Spring of '76. I wonder if those Keystone Korner dates in the discog are in Todd Barkan's collection. Might we ever see an official release, maybe courtesy of Sue? I also wonder why Sony wouldn't release the earlier Ronnie Scott's date they recorded that was superseded by other projects.

Mobley was one of a number of saxophonists in the interim period between Trane's departure and the George Coleman edition with the new rhythm section. And Mobley wasn't with the band that long, it's just that the amount of recorded material gives that impression. IMO, Mobley is coincidental to the overall sound; I think the rhythm section is the key to the change in tenor (no pun intended). For me the highlight of the Blackhawk sessions is the amazingly high quality of the Wynton Kelly Trio, as they would shortly become. Miles didn't like Hank, Tony didn't like George, maybe Miles wasn't happy with Sam (but Sam also said he felt constrained), but Everybody Loves Wayne. As far as Sam and Miles, I think I said this on another thread, it's funny to think that Sam was too "out" when you listen to what Wayne was doing at The Plugged Nickel. There are hints of something (Milestones), but on the whole Mile's playing with Bird was pretty raw - nowhere near Fats or Diz. In fact judging from his early playing, as a horn player it's remarkable he became as great as the critics said he did. Q The Milestones (orig.) session was Miles' first date as a leader (hence Bird on tenor), and it gives a hint of his mature sound (as does some of his playing on the Royal Roost sessions toward the end of his tenure), but don't forget that Miles was very young when he played with Bird, and MUCH less experienced than either Fats or Diz. Still, the lyricism you hear on his Milestones/Half Nelson date and the Royal Roost appearance with Dameron (very different from the Paris date) shows the special lyricism that he'd further develop. There's plenty of "bebop greatness" on some of Miles' 1953-56 Prestige and Blue Note recordings, IMO.

You might want to add some commas--at first I thought she was abused by Dr. Miller. Before: mia, a beautiful rottweiler, was rescued after years of unthinkable abuse by dr. miller and the loving staff of ashland road animal clinic.
