New music up on the site!

Hey, if it were me I would really try to have this come out on the Monk family's estate (the Coltrane tape). Think what juice that would give to their product line (which in my opinion is a very good product line now!)

If I'm not mistaken Alan Lankin's site says that the Legacy Edition WILL include this. (PLUS a 1956 Pasadena show, a brief Gene Norman produced event, which is in killer sound and a great performance). I wasn't disappointed when I first heard this on the "Miscellaneous Miles" cd. I didn't have big expectations, and it would have been a great set to see!

Disc eight is very far from FILLER!

Columbia seems to be putting the Miles out soon as part of a two cd "Legacy Edition" of "Round About Midnight."

Yes, it was a duplicate. . . now in good hands.

Ah Mr. Applebaum. . . hold that more carefully would ya?

The Miles thing came out in Europe. . . not sure if it was "legitimate"--doubt it. . . Jazz Door I think. Not sure what the deal is on these. There's potentially quite a bit of Newport material that they could have available, and maybe even more stereo "concoctions" might be possible like the Columbia Duke!

I think it just happens to grow wild in a lot of back yards in the South and Southwest. . . .

I feel sorry for him too. I know it's not a happy, or a wild and crazy guy, that does this. . . . And I can guess what type of life he just gave himself.

Yes, I think that FF is probably not going to be Fantastic. . . . But I have a sliding scale for these summer movies. If they give some wow factor along with the cool AC and allow a little escape from the weekly grind, they're worth their weight for me. I'm never expecting great art in a movie theater, and so I'm seldom disappointed along those lines. Hadn't heard about THAT movie but you make it look interesting Ray!

Thanks Brownie! WOW!

Yes, that should prove interesting!

That's a good question. . . I see that it was an MPS originally, I guess that has to be at least a largely contributing factor?

Yeah, I'm sortof down on Proper boxes. I think they could sound better, but don't for obvious reasons, like they don't have original source metal masters, etc. nor a big remastering budget. The booklets are okay. . . they don't speak to ME because they're not geared to ME. So to new listeners to players I guess they work out fine. I also hate how they rarely include complete sessions and again, a new listener won't be too worried about that. So it's a good recommendation Ber. I believe I have the concert on a GNP Crescendo disc, but yeah, the Classics don't have this. But what they do have is so good!

Four big escapist extravaganzas I'm looking ahead to: Fantastic Four Episode Three The Kingdom of Heaven the new Batman There are more, but the hype machines have me hungry for THOSE. What about y'all?

Up for some viewing

Up for some scrutiny

And welcome! I'll see if I can find one of those threads and bring it up.

Well, you'll probably get differing views on this here. AND there are a few threads on the board under reissues forum I think that will spell those out. For me, it's essential. I really dig any of the Miles sessions or gigs with the Kelly Trio behind him. And I do like Mobley with Miles, though he doesn't offer that vivid contrast that makes the Coltrane and Shorter combinations so pronounced. This is nice also in being two successive nights in a working band's life in a famous jazz club. . . . I couldn't wait to hear the set and was so glad to have it. I'd say I break this one out a little more than some other Miles releases.

The original Saturday lp was the one I had first and for years before I found the Friday. . . . That is why I automatically thought "Saturday!" BUT there's really little to choose from between the two; I would say get either myself. Just as long as you later get the other.

What the. . . ? Somebody call Bill Cosby!

Hey, I could lose thirty pounds, and it would only add three years to my life according to that quiz! And boy would I be hungry and thin! For a LONG time!

Except for the radio business, I could have written that post. I've got a job that require extroversion, I love how it draws me out of myself, but I need time alone to recharge.
