I was lucky to see him live years ago in Hamburg ...

I saw him in Velden in 1979 with Mark Soskin, Jerome Harris and Al Foster. It was shortly after he had recorded "Don´t Ask" so some of the material was on the set, as well as "Isn´t She Lovely" and "Carneval" from other recordings from 1977, 1978. And had seen and admired Al Foster some years before with Miles, so I was very happy to see him again with Rollins.

Sacrilege, maybe, but I think I've come to admire these recordings more than I do KIND OF BLUE.

I don´t know that album cover. I thing the same personnel is on "Miles at Newport". Everything live I like more than studio recordings, and in my kind my admirering stuff more than KOB might be a same "sacrileg" since when I bought it I already had heard "So What" and "All Blues" in much more exiting versions (to me) with Hancock and Williams than the slower pathes of the studio album. 
And I like Miles Davis other pianists more than Bill Evans, that´s my personal taste.

its here! With another 10 dollar import fees ouch…. Music makes up a lot. Classic Tapscott stuff. Man it must have been something sitting in a church watching the Arkestra. Is it true that the other volumes will have improved sound or am I just making that up?

Is this the new one? I think I missed out on it. 😞

Sellout? Hardly. Naive is more like it. And simultaneously depressing and funny.

I'm listening to some live tracks and demos that Jack Wilkins had on his now-disabled website.  He had 50 demos and live tracks available for streaming, with 10 of those available for free download.  I can't get any of the streaming tracks to play on the archive site, but at least I have an hourlong sampler.

Yes the early Prestige have 2 good  examples if you mean these?

 

Is that from the Woofy 10 CD box?

 

Yes, that´s it ! And the Konitz session with Miles I think from 1951 with those strange titles "Odjenar", "Hi Beck" "Ezzthetics" . So actually I think I have three from Prestige.

I want to hear it. I have read much about it and I think if I remember right Impulse! in the late 60´s early 70´s  made efforts to make "Free Jazz" more accesible for wider audiences, some kind of "Free Jazz light" . I think this one sold quite well. I saw it in the record stores when I was a teenie, but was a bit afraid to buy it for two reasons:

I was hip to late Trane, to Ornette, to Pharoah and Sun Ra, but was a bit afraid that Albert Ayler would be too radical for me to enjoy, which he sure wasn´t . And I didn´t like the cover photo. For first sight it looked to me like an unshaved pelvis

I miss the days when artists streamed stuff on their websites. I wish I had saved more of it for future listening as chances are that this material will never surface again - certainly not legitimately at least. I have a ton of live performances from Jeremy Pelt & Greg Osby, but there were several other artists who stopped hosting live material that I wished I'd saved. Those days are gone I guess.
