Click on each title, and a page will appear with the CD title. The first one, for example, is Cannonball's Somethin' Else.

I also like the A. K. Salim "Pretty For The People" (the first album that shows alphabetically by artist for me in iTunes) and "Ernie Wilkins Presents Five Trumpets."

I don't think they had 8-track recorders in the early 60's; they had 3, maybe 4 tracks to work with.

Interesting. I was just listening to Art's The Discovery Sessions (Savoy), and thinking that the unison sections with Art and Jack Montrose sounded very Tristano-ish. I followed the above link to the Art & Lee album, and there was a banner on that page for the Art & Warne session at Donte's. So was Art, even peripherally, in the Tristano camp?

A quick perusal of the Brubeck discography at jazzdisco.org shows this: The Dave Brubeck Quartet Paul Desmond (alto sax) Dave Brubeck (piano) Gene Wright (bass) Joe Morello (drums) "Newport Jazz Festival", Newport, RI, July 5, 1959 Gone With The Wind Moon (It) MLP 028-1 Lonesome Road - Blues - Blue Rondo A La Turk - * Moon (It) MLP 028-1, MCD 028-2 Dave Brubeck/Paul Desmond - St. Louis Blues This is the only live recording shown for July 1959, and it isn't from New York. As for "In Europe," I'm thinking these are the bonus tracks (again, not from New York): The Dave Brubeck Quartet Paul Desmond (alto sax) Dave Brubeck (piano) Norman Bates (bass) Joe Dodge (drums) live in concert in Ontario, Canada, 1956 Shish Kebab Joker (It) SM 3804 Fairy Day - Don't Worry About Me - Lover Come Back To Me - Royal Garden Blues - Love Walked In - How High The Moon - * Joker (It) SM 3804 Dave Brubeck= Blue Vox (Swi) B/90174 Dave Brubeck Feat. Paul Desmond - Live Together

Track #8: Has to be Gato Barbieri. From Chapter 4: Latin America? Track #9: Sonny? Boy, that sounds like something I should have, but I don’t. Wonderful track. Track #10: What is the name of this track? Is it an Erik Satie composition? They used to play a version of this all the time on free-form FM radio in NYC in the early ’70’s. This is another very nice performance; I have no idea who it is. Track #11: Round Midnight. A different take on it; I like it. No idea who it is.

My notes thus far: Track #1: Hmmm…The Dartmouth Drunken Frat-Boys Sing Love Songs To Dick Cheney And Other Embarrassments (Rounder)? Track #2: An interesting approach to string quartets. Sounds more composed than improvised. It reminds me of the Villa-Lobos string quartets as performed by Cuarteto Latinoamericano. If it does have a jazz provenance, is it Mark Feldman on violin? Track #3: Jean-Luc Ponty? Or Michel Urbaniak with Urszula Dudziak? Nice; reminiscent of that whole mid-70’s time, when jazz-rock ruled. Track #4: Pensive, tender, stately. I don’t recognize the musicians. Nice; the solos are well-played within the composition. Track #5: Overtones of Blue Note, but the way it stretches out makes me think the CD era. Since the trumpeter reminds me of Freddie, is this V.S.O.P.? Track #6: Ah, that glorious era of gospel-tinged jazz. Powerful trumpeter with ease-of-control. Interesting that the sax only comes in with his solo. Sounds like Sonny! Is the pianist Walter Davis Jr.? Track #7: The vibes player has that lush Milt Jackson tone, but I don’t think that’s him, mostly because of the style of music. Nice track; I like the interplay of the vibes and piano.

There was the lawsuit against Herb Cohen, one against the Grandmothers, the Royal Albert Hall... I think there were more: Rykodisc?

Don't forget how many lawsuits FZ participated in.

I remember Bob Belden posted "Politician" on his website many years ago.

An appreciation in WSJ.

Two thoughts: 1) Amazon.com. A quick search revealed many replacement batteries such as: https://www.amazon.com/Outecc-Samsung-GALAXY-T4000E-T2105/dp/B0118UBB80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467084330&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+7+replacement+battery 2) Contact Samsung. I'm sure they have a customer service office in Tokyo that you could call.

Do your speakers have midrange cones?

Just noticed on eMusic: the Felsted box on Fresh Sound, $6.49 members, $9.99 non-members. See: http://www.emusic.com/album/various-artists/the-complete-stanley-dance-mainstream-jazz-recordings-1958-1959/16517235/

The singer is doing the tapping. I did not know of the singer, but she was of enough historical importance to merit a New York Times obituary upon her passing. Another oddity about the recording is that there are two pianos.

We just saw The Man Who Knew Infinity. Excellent movie, highly recommended. Somehow they took a story about mathematicians and created a compelling, watchable movie that doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence. Great acting in all roles, but especially (for me) Jeremy Irons. The movie touches on themes that should be compelling to jazz fans: the ineffable nature of genius, spirituality vs. rationality. Very well done.

Latest update. Apple now has the 3rd generation Apple TV for $69, so I bought one. It has an optical out, so I'm looking for powered speakers with an optical in. The Vanatoo Transparent One has some outrageously good reviews, but I've never heard of the brand. There's also the similarly-priced Klipsch R-15PM. Klipsch still has a great reputation, even though they've been owned for awhile by Logitech.

This is an actual LP. Pressing is from the GRT days. If someone here has the Argo LP, it'd be easy to tell within a minute whether side 2 leads off with a false start. But I have no idea why anyone would rearrange the order for a later pressing. Side 1 seems accurate.

Thanks for that help, Mike. I've analyzed side 2 using Amadeus Pro software, and have concluded that, at least for Cadet LPS-637, the actual sequence on side 2 is as follows: The Moody One (False Start) The Moody One Brother Yusef All The Things You Are Yvonne There She Goes. A false start is a false start, so that's pretty obvious. Brother Yusef has Moody playing arabic-sounding flute. ATTYA is self-evident. The last two are based on matching the timings to both the LP back cover and what Mike posted above. No idea why they got the sequence wrong.

Does anyone here have the Argo pressing?
