Bertrand, I've never taken the time to totally work out the provenance of all the tracks on Live/Evil (but look below for analysis) . . . MOST if not all of them come from THIS night: Directions (J. Zawinul) 14:44 Honky Tonk (M. Davis) 21:12 What I Say (M. Davis) 20:53 Sanctuary (W. Shorter-M. Davis) 0:40 Directions (J. Zawinul) 18:39 Funky Tonk (M. Davis) 23:56 Sanctuary (W. Shorter-M. Davis) 2:02 It's About That Time (M. Davis) 6:42 Sanctuary (W. Shorter-M. Davis) 1:18 (two sets recorded of three that night) Miles Davis (tpt); Gary Bartz (ss, as); Keith Jarrett (el-p, org); John McLaughlin (g); Michael Henderson (el-b); Jack DeJohnette (d); Airto Moreira (perc, voc); Conrad Roberts (narr) Here is the information on Live/Evil track breakdowns on Pete Losin's "Miles Ahead" website: In an interview with Teo Macero, Chris Albertson describes the 87 minutes of live material on Live-Evil as a "distillation" of "ten to fifteen" reels of tape recorded during the group's performances at the Cellar Door ("The Unmasking of Miles Davis," Saturday Review, November 27, 1971, p. 87.). Here's a rough comparison of the issued material with the unedited masters: "Sivad" (15:12) Master 0:00-0:01 (drum roll) Directions (2nd set) 0:00-0:01 0:02-3:24 Directions (2nd set) 11:30-14:44 + Honky Tonk 0:00-0:08 3:25-4:14 Honky Tonk (studio, 5/19/70) 4:15-9:11 Honky Tonk (2nd set) 5:23-10:20 9:12-15:12 Honky Tonk (2nd set) 15:13-21:14 "What I Say" (21:09) Master 0:00-20:50 What I Say (2nd set) 0:00-20:50 20:51-21:09 Sanctuary (2nd set) 0:00-0:18 "Funky Tonk" (23:23) Master 0:00-2:54 Directions (3rd set) 0:47-3:41 (theme excised) 2:55-4:53 Directions (3rd set) 3:54-5:51 (theme excised) 4:54-16:14 Directions (3rd set) 6:20-17:39 (theme excised) 16:15-16:50 Directions (3rd set) 18:03-18:39 16:51-20:12 Funky Tonk (3rd set) 0:00-3:21 20:13-20:18 Funky Tonk (3rd set) 3:59-4:04 21:19-23:23 Funky Tonk (3rd set) 4:15-6:20 "Inamorata" (26:28) Master 0:00-16:34 Funky Tonk (3rd set) 7:21-23:55 16:35-16:47 Sanctuary (3rd set) 1:50-2:02 16:47-23:08 It's About That Time (3rd set) 0:00-6:21 23:09-26:08 It's About That Time 0:00-2:59 [see note] Narration by Conrad Roberts first 0:43 26:08-26:28 Sanctuary 0:00-0:20 [see note] Note: these items not from Cellar Door

Cranking them out, just like they did at Hitsville USA! Thanks for the info!

Wow, it showed to be in stock when I posted! Weird! Fast work on someone's part maybe!

Well, it's not over til it's over, but I hope the release date holds true this time. Been a long time since this!

The Connoisseur set might also include a few tracks from the Japanese cd "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs"?

www.dustygroove.com currently shows in stock an 8 dollar lp and a 23 dollar Japanese cd.

Definitely not! I do really like his remastering work of disc-recorded sessions and his own sessions; guess it's a matter of personal tastes. . . . I'd rather he than McMaster handle his sessions tapes. . . decidedly.

Listened to some Kirk from the complete box set last night, about two hours worth from four of the discs. I just keep realizing what an amazing artist he was! I shouldn't be surprised by now, but he keeps on surprising! Not an easy trick. . . .

Cellar Door Miles Davis was preordered this morning via cduniverse.com

Preordering now possible through cduniverse.com

I think the two Shearing MGM cds are available from the Verve Vault. . . .

Great music! I've had all the music here for a long time. If these were RVGs I'd grab them all. I'll get whatever comes out on yourmusic.com

On cduniverse, Retrievals show up under Challenge Records. . . They are the distributor if not the home label.

I agree with Chuck, from a marketing standpoint this is a natural. . . they might as well get on the RVG reissue wagon as Blue Note and Verve (and even the Monk Family) have used him . . . There must be some money in it for the labels. Concord might as well come out of the ropes with something new and proven. And I happen to be one of those who likes his remastering work a lot. . . . I'd be interested in hearing these. . . I'll probably get a few.

They share the Dial sides. . .but differ otherwise. I'd recommend the Chronogical Classics under Howard's name. Well, I was being serious in a way. . . I think the McGhee stuff is important enough to have it all and the Classics discs are great.

If one opens the first link that EKE posted for Challenge, the Retrieval appears. . . .

In both cases I think you have the case of an out of print Japanese single lp reissue, and an out of print American combination/compilation release. . . .

Phantom Navigator made it to cd in the US. I have it somewhere, can't bring myself to spin it. . . not a favorite.

That's what I thought! Thanks Chuck.

I think Challenge=Retrieval. Challenge is the father company of Retrieval, it was Retrieval I believe that Harold and I meant.

Are you sure that the out of print cd in question is not of recordings originally done on disc? I have this somewhere and think that may well be the case. I've downloaded a half a dozen or more titles from the Vault and they sound fantastic! Most I've gotten are Japanese cds digitized directly. . . . Really great sound!

Problem is that. . . in reality. . . gasoline is firmly a part of American politics. . . national, international, local. . . . Wish it weren't; we'd have seen real innovations long ago!

Do any new jazz items appear this week? I didn't see any. BUT the Rene Olstead album has replaced the Chris Botti album as "Featured Album." What would they think of our musical tastes?

I'd recommend that one too; the sound is better than any other source I've heard the material on. Wnen introducing others to twenties jazz material, the better the sound the easier the task.
