Thanks. I ordered a copy too.

I miss "over-the-top" feminists. If we still had them, maybe we wouldn't be in the state we find ourselves today, where many woman seem to enjoy supporting an obviously misogynistic politician who has admitted to sexually molesting random women.

Are there more copies available from the same source? I would like to pick this up as well.

Lack of class is putting it mildly. Eddie was an incredible guitarist but he had a massive ego. I've read enough stories of people's encounters with him to realize that he is not a guy that I would have wanted to sit down and have a beer with. Life is too short to deal with people like that.

Wow. There's goes a biggie from my youth. I was an early rider on the Van Halen bus, being an early buyer of their first album and seeing them on tour at a tiny (<7,000) concert venue with only about 1,000 of us in the crowd.

Nobody seems to have that commercial. It only ran that one time and it sounds like the copyright lawsuit stopped it from being shown again. I've searched for it for many years and never found it. I figured that since it was during a World Series game, but no, no footage seems to exist from this.

If there is, I've never found it. Bartz has a Bandcamp page and it's not there. There are several that are download only too.

Is there some special reason why this is in the "Miscellaneous - Non-Political" forum instead of the "Artists" forum? You can like or dislike her music, but you cannot deny that she was an artist.

I can barely read the writing on my signed LP.

Me too... I also had him sign my Connoisseur LP of "Judgement!". He wrote over almost the entire black wall of the cover.

From what I've heard, that thanks extends to Bruce Lundvall, Michael Cuscuna & Tom Evered as they supposedly tore up the old Blue Note contracts and re-did them to match current recording contracts, which resulted in artists like Andrew being able to able to make a few bucks off of their back catalog.

There is such a thing as too much of the same... As much as I love Dexter's playing, I won't be buying another live date from this time period.

Just don't ask Gary why this hasn't come out on CD. I don't think he'll be polite with his answer. I bet he doesn't care one way or the other. He told me he hasn't made a penny from any of his earlier records. In fact, he told me to just copy it. He didn't care because he didn't make any money either way. He was very bitter about it. I gather he's not a fan of the music industry.

He was pretty prickly about some topics... I'm sure you are not the only one he unfriended over some slight political disagreement. He had an especially thin skin when talking about the military and/or veteran affairs. Given his years in the service, he had firm beliefs about that, with little wiggle room, especially if you hadn't served yourself.

A longtime contributor to the old Jazz Central Station & Jazz Corner forums, Gary Sisco, died on September 17th. Even though I haven't seen or heard from Gary in many years, this still bums me out. He was quite the character, both on-line and in person. He used to live in this beautiful house on a hill in Jeffersonville, Vermont that he designed himself to make it so that Bronwyn could get around in her wheelchair. Being fellow Jazz fans, I used to plan my regular business trips to IBM in Burlington so that I could go to a show or two and visit with him & his wife Bronwyn at their manse. Bronwyn and Gary were great hosts and we stayed up into the wee hours of the night debating world events, usually over a few beers or in Sisco's case, a few joints. I was shocked when he told me they were selling that beautiful place and moving to Kentucky to be in horse country. I still remember that beautiful view out the windows. RIP Crispo. The world is less one cantankerous old devil and we are the worse for it. https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/obituary-gary-sisco-1954-2020/Content?oid=31314782&fbclid=IwAR0hrovhGsFd6EoNsfftbKp1GaYJsnbpyXfL9500DEEWUoPZ2eabz5uUKuc

I thank that I was there with you and I'm almost positive it was at Birdland. Maybe that band played at both venues, but I saw an incredible show with a bunch of Jazz Corner forumites at Birdland. I've never been to the Knitting Factory. I think the show I went to was recorded too but something happened to the tape so they didn't release that particular show but another one recorded a short time later.

Michael Cuscuna tells me that 2months ago, Blue Note had Malcolm Addey go back to the 8 track analog masters for "Passing Ships" to remaster them for the new analog cut for a Tone Poet LP release.

There doesn't appear to be a 1990 CD release of this title: https://www.discogs.com/The-Charlie-Mingus-Jazz-Workshop-Pithecanthropus-Erectus/master/176929 I have a copy of the 1987 release and I don't recall it sounding terrible. In fact, given that a lot of the later releases could be compressed a bit, it might be the best that this date will sound on a CD release. The 1987 release has an alternate cover:

I've actually been able to see Bartz perform live a lot more in the past 8 years than I had in previous 25. For some reason, he just didn't seem to come through Boston at the right time. Great player. His 2012 release, "Coltrane Rules (Tao Of A Music Warrior) is a great record. I can't believe he's 80.

The story I read said that there was evidence that a lot of the UK outbreaks are coming from colleges & universities, not grammar schools.

Israel & France are inching closer to a complete shutdown. The UK is not far behind. The second wave started when they sent their kids back to school.

Warne Marsh - Star Highs (Criss Cross). Although this is listed as a Warne Marsh date, it sometimes feels like a Hank Jones date. Hank plays very nicely on this.

Ron Carter - Foursight - Stockholm Live (In & Out Records). Beautiful-sounding records.
