Yes. Bad journalism.

Even by Facebook's incredibly low standards, the nonsense spewing regarding this debacle has been shocking. And why ask Harper about it? Any journalist who has done a drop of research will know that Harper's departure was not under the best of terms. Asking him to chime in is just sensationalism. But the media these days is a big part of our problem. Not doing their job.

The amount of misinformation on Facebook regarding this matter is mind-boggling. Among other things, Billy Harper was asked about it by some interviewer and said he would never play there. Some concluded that it was this comment that resulted in the Cookers being canceled. Nonsense - Harper left the band two years ago. He was just saying that he himself would not play there. Also, some dude wanted to go down a racial rabbit hole. Unfriended that dude quickly.

It had moved to the terrace theater in the last few years for more space, but still free. There were never any tickets to buy.

I agree. The vinyl boom has sent bonus tracks packing. That was a big attraction of CDs for me.

I remember the whole story. Not Fantasy's finest hour; they reacted like jerks.

The link in the first post is for the new book. Where do I find information about the earlier volumes?

Is it worthwhile? I do not know this author.

I was thinking a Burrell 5-Spot kind of scenario.

With extra material?

Who does a jazz researcher contact to get access?

Where can others view these log books?

'Lost' could mean a lot of things, e.g. a tape being sent for evaluation and never returned out of absent-mindedness. Joel Dorn was known to misplace tapes, for example. I doubt they would send out the only copy, but you never know.

Yes. It has circulated.

Going back to my comment from 9/2/21. Wayne also asked soneone who had the session if it was the session where Vitous bows a lot. He does. So Wayne did hear it? Cuscuna said the Jackie tape was lost. Sounds like that happened years ago. There are some Blue Note reels at Rutgers, complicated story. Could it be there?
