*Marionette* by Warne Marsh, Sal Mosca, Frank Canino, Skip Scott Live At Village Vanguard 1981 (Zinnia). Amazing Marsh, then Mosca with extensive quotes from the original LT solo ...

Right ... but long gone, in my case. As I recall it was typed, a few pages - he updated every so often. Others maybe have them ... Chris might know. Q

Similar story here. I visited his apartment circa 1970, in the vicinity of 1st Avenue and 10th Street, saw an unbelievable number of tape decks and equipment and left with a Crown playback deck which I still have (although it hasn't worked in years). More importantly, I also left with six acetate discs of Mingus at Birdland (1961-62) from which I made open reel tapes for myself and a Mingus fanatic in England. Indeed these tapes have been the source of all the copied tapes and ensuing CD-Rs that have been circulating the globe lo these many years. BTW, I still have the acetate discs but haven't attempted to play them in years. "was it commonplace for acetates to be for sale? just like what he didnt want to keep? or did he actually cut you off your own copies?" He had an occasional catalogue you could order in DownBeat. I got his catalogue and simply ordered and received white label acetates of "Bird, Fats, Bud"; the "Lover Come Back to Me" session plus, "Lester at Birdland", "Lennie Tristano 1964 "Let's Look up and Live (side A), LT with Warne Marsh at the Half Note" (Side B)" and others. Thank you Boris. Q

Opera? Well, he "may" have been pleased with the idea. The result? Who knows ... I just hope Daniel knows (really) who he is dealing with ... Q

"Evergreen Review" period was nice ... then seriously downhill. Anyway, RIP. Q

According to the liner of the Munich concert CD from 9/16/53, the saxophone section was: Konitz, Schildkraut, Bill Holman, Zoot, Tony Ferina (bari). Q

Allen, why not relax with a taste of N.O. tabaccy and let Bud take you for an aesthetic ride? Q

Peter Pullman’s encyclopedic “Wail – The Life of Bud Powell” mentions this session on page 270, with a subsequent footnote: “Levy gave Powell a Monday night to play at Birdland, so that he could record him leading a quintet and issue it in stereo on Roulette. (55) Footnote 55 An early example of live, stereo recorded in a nightclub, the music has great fidelity. Powell leads a quintet with younger soloists - Donald Byrd on trumpet and Phil Woods on alto saxophone. But aside from Byrd, the playing is ragged, and the music will probably never be authorized for issue in a commercial format”. I think the sound is reasonable. I would definitely disagree that the playing is “ragged”. – rather it’s hot and spontaneous. To my ears, this is great Bud, stretching out on the changes as only he can. It’s also an excellent front line. Phil Woods is on fire and Donald Byrd plays well, although to my ears he perhaps plays one or two choruses too many on some tracks. The rhythm section is also fine, although again personally I could have done with a few less choruses from Paul Chambers (bowing).

How come? Beer contains animal products? Q

Fine review can be found here: http://artsfuse.org/95189/fuse-book-review-wail-a-great-biography-of-a-jazz-legend/ Q

Thanks to this thread I now dislike Whites, Blacks and Jews ... (but still like jazz that swings ... is that OK?) Q

Time is 53:47

Apologies for the delay - this is the real deal. Q

Sent bread. Received? Q

Should be available 11/25 - great Bud. Q

Hopefully it falls on Phil Woods. Still, the cat could play. The Bud Powell at Birdland '57 is evidence of that. Q

Anybody who would bankroll a WARNE MARSH record date would be unlikely to do it for the bread alone ... Those Steely Dan guys must have had good jazz ears. Fagen writes about the likes of Mort Fega, Jean Shepherd, Ray Charles and others. Book release date is 11/24. Q

The thread took a turn ... I meant his Billy Eckstine Biography. Q

Nobody read the book? Q

Art Pepper is featured on member James Harrod's "Stars of Jazz" site. Q

I suggest you do a search for a 3 CD set recorded live by the band at the Cotton Club (Cleveland Ohio) in 1956. A fine production ... Q

I dont think Ronnie Ball's "Quintessence" has been mentioned - an incredible line based on "All the Things You Are". Q

Art Pepper with Hampton Hawes on Discovery - the early days with a tinge of Lester Q
