Blue Train Posted November 8, 2013 Report Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I know there is an thread about his health, but I think this was deserving of it's own thread. There is a tribute concert to help him financially for those in the area. http://www.shapeshifterlab.com/portfolio/nov-22-benefit-tribute-to-the-great-arthur-blythe-oliver-lake-amiri-baraka-vernon-reid-bob-stewart-kelvyn-bell/ Even if you can't make it....there is the Arthur Blythe Parkinson fund you can use to donate .

Blue Train Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Bumping this. Even if you can't make it....there is this. http://gusttsilis.com/arthurblythe/ Edited November 13, 2013 by Blue Train Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for the info and here's wishing Arthur the best, or at least the best possible. Quote
Eric Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 I have always thought his core Columbia recordings would make a great Mosaic Select. I don't know if he would see any of the money or whether it would be significant. Quote
Blue Train Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) I don't think royalties from some dream release from a fan is what he, or his family are concerned about. This is about making whatever time left is better for him. Once again....for anyone that wants to help him....and not turn this into a reissue/remastering/etc. thing (seriously!).....you have no idea what I really wanted to say to your post. http://gusttsilis.com/arthurblythe/ Edited November 15, 2013 by Blue Train Quote
mjazzg Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Listening to Lennox AB right now and hoping that Mr Blythe is able to find comfort and respite at home. Thanks for highlighting the donation possibilty. Maybe folk could donate what they would pay for that "wish list" Mosaic? Blue Train - just wondering whether it might be worth considering changing the Thread title to highlight the donation possibility. Many may not look if they think it's a show they're unable to attend geographically. just a thought Edited November 15, 2013 by mjazzg Quote
