Can Blue Note contracts be obtained this way as well?

This thread reminded me that I was contacted by soneone who had a recording of Don Cherry at Cornell in 1991 and he was wondering how to get in touch with the estate. I need to reply to him. Is this a recording that is widely circulated? It is not listed on the website above, but it must be a Multi Kulti gig.

Luciano, Have you contacted Ben Young?

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?
