Gravenites had mentioned the following for this 45 record: https://www.bluespower.com/a-ngbtb.htm "Jeff [Spitz] decided that it was time to go into the record business, and he arranged a session at CBS studios in Chicago for his new label, Out Of Sight Records, a name suggested by Pete Welding, a musicologist and record producer who was living in Hyde Park. We cut two of my songs, "Whole Lotta Soul" and "Drunken Boat." These are the musicians on my first recording session: Nick Gravenites, vocal and guitar; Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, guitar; Paul Butterfield, harmonica; Erwin Helfer, harpsichord; Scotty Holt, Bass; Steve McCall, drums; Lester Bowie, trumpet; Julian Priester, trombone; Roscoe Mitchell, alto sax. We got two bizarre-sounding songs, had a thousand copies made; five hundred got lost in a warehouse somewhere, we gave away four hundred and sold a hundred". (Nick Gravenites in his book Bad Talkin' Bluesman)" ^^^Has it ever been reissued? I doubt. I am looking for it for years, in vain...

The legendary Nick Gravenites died on September 18, 2024, at the age of 85. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Gravenites A big loss of a great man. He also had a CD released some months ago.

This track exists only in the 1997 CD from Japan, I think. https://www.discogs.com/release/1910232-Weather-Report-Mysterious-Traveller

Thank you. My first record purchased in the early 80s.

I am watching the DVD right now. It is really great, and I cannot avoid to dream what we could watch if German TV was there more often. What else was being recorded around that date? This RVG studio session took place on December 16, 1965. https://www.jazzdisco.org/verve-records/catalog-8600-series/#v-v6-8641\ V/V6-8641 The Incredible Jimmy Smith - Got My Mojo Workin' 1966 Jimmy Smith, organ; Kenny Burrell, guitar; Ben Tucker, bass #1,2; Ron Carter, bass #3,4; Grady Tate, drums; Oliver Nelson, arranger, conductor.

Thank you. IIRW, there is also a 1 or 2 hour documentary on the RVG studio shoot by the German TV back in the sixties. It was also commercially available on DVD within a package with more films by the director of this Blue Note/RVG documentary.

I received my set yesterday from our Belgian store and played Photon. A very nice track indeed.

Since everybody need to know: this time I ordered it from TYQ in Belgium and the set has been shipped today.

This is great. Thank you.

Dave Holland Trio in Athens, April 25 2024. Eric Harland, Jaleel Shaw, Dave Holland. The end of their one month tour. An amazing set.

A legend. His legacy is beyond words. Thank you Mr. Cuscuna.

My introduction to Mr Silver was Senor Blues by Harvey Mandel;

My #0731 set just arrived from Barcelona. I am playing the 1st disc. Magnificent.

Thank you indeed. I will re-listen with different ears (and mind). Alex

My SACD player shows 80:01 for my single layer japanese SHM-SACD

Our friends from Spain now offer the set.

Anybody has the jp SACD to check there too?

Any news regarding JazzMessengers offering this set? Thank you.

If only Bert Stern had filmed the Miles Davis Sextet at Newport 1958 for the Jazz on a Summer's Day film...

They used to ship to Greece via Netherlands and it took 10-15 days to reach me. Since summer they changed to DHL, and it takes only 1-2 days and it goes via Milano. Fastest service ever. And lowest numer ever for me. 124.

Just in from Barcelona!

8 Euro for the flacs. https://transversales.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-paris-1971
