Okay, here's what I can verify: On the soundtrack recording there are two versions: Version one Billie sings with Charlie Beal accompanying her on piano. Version two Billie sings with Pops' band in the film accompanying her. Louis doesn't even as much as go "Uh Huh," or "MMMMMmama" on these. Mum's the word! The V-Disc version from Carnegie Hall DOES seem as if it is two separate performances merged. Perhaps the only times that Billie and Pops actually sing together are on those wonderful Decca studio duet numbers?

Hey, that Leo Parker is from a TOCJ. It sounds great. Doesn't have the alternate that was on the US edition though. That one too is coming up in the RVG program according to Kevin (I think).

I DO I DO! I appreciate the fact that one obscure BN recording surfaces in this series from time to time - LIKE the Leo Parker, Lonnie Smith ("Think"), and the Mobley "Poppin'" I ain't a-gettin' any younger waiting for BN USA to get these in print, so for now... ← Think is scheduled for a summer RVG! Gonna be a good one!

Evan, I do enjoy the sound of some of the RVGs (and even a few Connoisseurs) more than the sound of some Mosaics. A remastering engineer CAN make a difference with material, to the better or the worse. Maybe I'm imagining the differences I hear on my system, but I hear them. I happen to like the way that RVG transfers and translates the sound of the tape to digital. And I happen to like the sound of say TOCJs and RVGs of the Lee Morgan material to the sound of the Mosaic. The sound of the Larry Young material on RVG and Connoisseur to the Mosaic. The sound of the Sam Rivers on Conn to the Mosaic. Etc. Age of the transfers and the technology use make a difference too. Now to many these differences are either not apparent, or not important, and I can understand that. I can even wish that was the way I felt; I'd have money in the bank!

I think that THESE charges were not accepted as true by the jury and they were dismissed. He may have been guilty of molestation, but so far he has never been found guilty in a court of law for molestation. In the sense that a jury found these charges unsupported and they were dismissed the system is working and I am glad it is.

Not unless you want to hear what RVG did to the tapes, or want to have a complete collection of RVG issues. (I'm guilty of both desires! I've got every RVG cd. . . And I'd like to hear what he does with this session!)

I need to add a smiley to the above! "Shades of Redd" . . . all blued over. . . would be hilarious to me!

I've been hoping to find a copy of "Shades of Red."

The Deluxe edition of "Round About Midnight" is out TODAY. Mine shipped from cduniverse yesterday!

From what little I know of artists AND their heirs, there are things to "see." -_-

http://www.worldsrecords.com/cgi-bin/store...saved=songstart http://www.worldsrecords.com/cgi-bin/store...saved=songstart Links to two cds that contain the Carnegie Hall version.

I have a copy of the Spanish cd of the soundtrack version of the "New Orleans" film (in fact, I have one for sale, as I also have this on the Jazz Crusade label) that includes a version of this, AND I also have, I believe, a different version on a Classics disc. I haven't played the latter in years and I'm not positive that they are not the same, but I believe the Classics includes the Carnegie Hall version with Pops.

Thanks for the info Chris.

What for instance if the Garner estage wanted there to be color cover reproduction and back cover reproduction, with original liner notes? That is not necessarily what Mosaic does. What if they don't like the price that they would have gotten, ultimately from Universal, not Mosaic? What if they are PISSED OFF AT UNIVERSAL for reasons we don't know and want to find a way to do things themselves in time? What if they wanted a better price than Uptown could deliver (okay, Chuck may have said it isn't about the money, I don't know if he did or not, but the estate may have assumed that Uptown would never be able to give them what they wanted)? What if they wanted the Garner portion of the concert to appear under its own banner, not lumped in with the Bird and Diz, so that Erroll wasn't overshadowed by Charles and John? I don't know. I just think there are possibilities out there that we don't know about, and frankly I don't expect anyone here to actually have the answer to deliver FOR the estate.

Tha's a lotta blue!

I saw a digital pic of what purported to be the earlier cds circulating; had a little sticker on it identifying it (legitimately or not I don't know, not being able to firsthand analyze or familiar with the label's work product) as a "work tape" version for the label's use. I have burns of these six earlier discs and they sure do NOT sound "bootleg quality." They sound VERY GOOD. The ebay item is I believe a different animal from the earlier cds circulated.

Yup, my hunch proved correct: someone already has it on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW

Yes, I share your joy. One correction: my error: the critic (Ken Dryden) posted this on All About Jazz. . . he may post at Jazz Corner too, I don't know, I don't go there at all often.

One critic that posts on Jazz Corner has indicated that he received last week advance copies of the Cellar Door box set. . . . Which makes the September 20 release date look. . . probable.

Maybe they have their own plans, maybe they want to have more control and are waiting for the creation of a project/product line that allows them artistic and marketing control, I don't know. In a way. . . I sortof admire what may be their stance. They could be respecting the image of the artist and his work, and attempting to methodically produce the very best possible vehicle to present his oeuvre. Possibly. Without information I'm not going to condemn them!

ARGH! I probably have all this stuff already! Which is nothing to complain about!

I'm a big Lex Humphries fan as well! Anyone that Coltrane and Lateef and Sun Ra want to employ is okay with ME! Check out this page: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/hardbop/Humphries/Humphries.html Some favorites of mine: the various Ra appearances Have Trumpet, Will Excite! Nights Of Ballads And Blues Eastern Sounds The Centaur and the Phoenix The Three Faces of Yusef Lateef Giant Steps Coltrane Jazz Soulnik First Bassman Seems as if he disappeared into Philadelphia in the seventies . . . . Died there in 1994.

Such great deals there. . . I wish I hadn't paid more for most of the series before finding them on sale at DG! My last purchase from DG was "Brown Sugar" by Freddie Roach, and the "Shorty Rogers Quintet featuring Jeri Southern". . . .

"Louis Armstrong Plays W. C. Handy" was the lp that got me caught up in the world of traditional jazz. I found that lp in a Chicago area record bin my first year in college and it slowly worked its magic on me, and made me a Pops fan for LIFE. Maybe for post life too. The one that made me move from being a blues-rock and blues fan to a fusion and then jazz fan was "Filles de Kilamanjaro". . . . Freshly returned to the states from Swaziland, very lonely and blue in a small rural Ohio town, I found this in the library and it opened up my ears! It had a little bit of Africa in there, which helped. I borrowed it and listened to it for several weeks. Then went into Cleveland and found a copy of "Miles Davis at Fillmore." I was from those weeks forward an electric Miles fan, and then from that artist forward I began to follow sidemen and discover the world of acoustic jazz. . . .

It's one of the "hot" Byrds!
