Dead on in this case.... I was tasked with listening to a series of these a while back (from one source). The sound quality is not great, I believe this was a couple of mics in the room situation and not an each individual instrument being miced thing. I believe they recorded one night for a radio broadcast.  The usual stuff was great of course but as always, there are clearance issues or the labels in question were not enticed.  There is more Lee Morgan (not much) then what has been on the various bootlegs but after the huge Lighthouse set, I don't think Blue Note was interested in releasing what is essentially the same material again. It would probably be Atlantic Records for the Hubbard and Concord for the Henderson and who even knows where to begin.... There were other recordings as well but I'm not sure I should get into that except to say there was nothing else exceptional or mind-blowing....

Maybe your dog would enjoy a date, dinner and a movie and then a walk to potty before turning in for the night?

I like it. I'm going to spin it again before deciding where it sits with reference to the original. I do know that I like Calderazzo's piano playing quite a bit, so at least that's not a problem in comparison.

I wanted to use the Morgan tapes as an speculative example but didn't want to overreach the speculation. So now it's the Jazz Detective's time to step in and rescue all the known tapes? But more to the point - are all the Both/And tapes collated/codified by some Master Collector?

This tape is from the Both/And club in San Francisco and like the Lee Morgan Both/And tapes, it was recorded the week before the band went into The Lighthouse and made a live record. And for the same reason, why you have tracks they didn't record at The Lighthouse because they were recording new material which is why you get these killing versions of "Power to the People" and "Punjab". And yes, there is more, an absolutely killing up tempo swing version of "Afro-Centric" for one. The Freddie Hubbard bootleg LPs "Hot Horn" and "Extended" are also recorded at the Both/And. Seems like bullshit to me. As I mentioned, this recording is from the Both/And in San Francisco and was probably never in Orrin's possession or better yet, nothing Orrin ever had the rights to. If this was more music from The Lighthouse, Concord Records would have every right to be all over this and back in the day, Fantasy would have been all over Everest. The real question is whether Real Gone just did a straight up rip-off of ripped off material.
