Sunenblick's.

It will be hard. I think the estate does not care...

I mentioned this a while back in another thread. The Patton/Green was recorded, and Uptown records bought it along with about 20 other tapes. Sunenblick only put out two 2 CDs before he died. I asked him a couple of times about putting out the Patton/Green, but he was always evasive. We can assume his estate has the tape. How can we go from here? Bertrand.

Is it just me or is it no longer possible to download from this site?

Poland, not Austria. I stand corrected. It was definitely an Austrian Jazz fan who organized getting his remains back to DC.

Which label is putting this out?

Considering the tape was sitting in Jack's stash for 60 years, the detective work involved was minimal. Of course, a complete inventory of what else Jack had was quickly established.

I just want them to listen to at home. I would be happy to buy an official release, but it does not look like that is ever going to happen. Still not clear if the Master Tape still exists and who would have it.

So people can make Mp3s from the YouTube versions, right?

Roy and Sonny may be the only two who recorded with him, but I could be wrong.

Glad that Craft is doing some CDs and not just vinyl.

Is there a livestream this year?

That version of Cliff Walk needs to come out.

PS: I think Duran is the very last studio track that Wayne Shorter ever recorded with Miles (3/17/70). The last live dates are 3/7/70 which was released officially, and the July 1991 Paris concert which is long overdue for a legit release which I would buy.

Eventually the tracks ended up on various boxes but some of them I got as MP3s only because I did not buy the boxes for which I already had most of the material. I will check tomorrow to see which tracks I am actually missing and which I have in boxes. I was thinking it would be nice to have the set on CD as it originally came out on LP but it is not a Holy Grail of any sorts. I always liked that particular set which I have on vinyl. Good to know this version is legit and a real CD. If they did the Plugged Nickel Box that would be a coup. Missed that one. PS: Looked it up, that was fast. The six tracks I have as MP3s only are Song Of Our Country, Water On The Pond, Fun, Duran, Konda and Willie Nelson. I forgot I had Ascent, Directions I and Directions II in the Silent Way box. Will still probably get the Directions set for nostalgia's sake. It was part of my early Jazz education. The Circle in the Round set as well, which is one of the first CDs I ever bought. Directions was not available on CD in the US at the time.
