Hardbopjazz Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) I remember back a good 6 or 7 years ago, someone on the old Blue Note forum claiming to have a copy of the Coltrane and Montgomery Monterey concert from September 1961. Does anyone remember this? Edited January 10, 2009 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I remember seeing an ebay auction about it, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I remember that discussion too, but don't remember the poster. I can't remember what the consensus was: whether or not a tape actually exists. On the same note — does anyone remember when Stan Getz's son posted on the BNBB?

BruceH Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 On the same note — does anyone remember when Stan Getz's son posted on the BNBB? Yes! I seem to recall that. But after a small number of posts he never posted again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 He posted a touching (well, to me) story about how his dad would call him on his birthday, from wherever he was, and play Happy Birthday over the phone. Kenny Dorham's daughter posted once or twice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The alleged Wes/Coltrane tape (1961, Monterey?) has come up for discussion several times before, both at the BNBB and here, I believe. I think Porter lists a reference to it in his bio...45-minute audience recording? I remember somebody saying that they'd been offered a cassette copy of it for the low, low price of $2500. Speculative consensus seems to be that while we'd all like to hear it, it probably would not blow anybody's mind. What mention of the Wes/Trane gigs is there in the updated Coltrane reference book?

ghost of miles Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Didn't Warne Marsh's son post here several times as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I believe so, as well as Al Haig's widow (board name "Grange Lady Haig Rutan"). And I thought someone else's son or daughter, as well...but don't recall who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Dookie Coleman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yep, the Dookie thread: "I Am Dookie Coleman!" That was a winner. I wish he'd sign up and enliven the scene here. I actually half-believe his story. Aggie — I think maybe you're thinking of Joe Albany's daughter? I think she posted either here or on the BNBB. Joe Albany At Home is one I've been spinning lately. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Gene Ludwig and his wife (?) have posted here. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 There is actually a recording of Wes with Trane? Much as I like them all, I can't really imagine Wes with Trane and Eric Dolphy. What a ridiculous mismatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'll bet it would surprise you. Doesn't seem like a "ridiculous mismatch" to me. Three original front line voices, spurring each other on . . . . I'd buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 There is actually a recording of Wes with Trane? Much as I like them all, I can't really imagine Wes with Trane and Eric Dolphy. What a ridiculous mismatch. I was thinking about this, and then Lon posted pretty much what I was going to say. You remember how Wes "smoked" on Impressions? I actually think there would be quite a bit of compatibility. Three great soloists, each with their own individual voices, all playing on the same field, if not the same position, yet inspiring one another. I bet Wes would have sounded great with Elvin behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I wouldn't go as far as ridiculous mismatch, but I probably wouldn't buy it until Shrdlu did. But then, I confess to not being that big on most jazz guitarists anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
