Some one has a promo for sale on Ebay Uk here's the desciption & link - The tracks recorded at the Cellar Door club in Washington D.C. by the Miles Davis band between 16 & 19 December 1970 have never been released in full. Excerpts of the 19 December concert featuring John McLaughlin as guest player were released on Live/Evil but what we have for auction here is a set of reference CDs of the much-anticipated 6-CD boxed set Live At Cellar Door (Columbia/Legacy) which was supposed to have been released in 2002 yet still hasn’t seen the light of day. These are official Columbia/Legacy reference CDs as prepared for Seth Rothstein, senior director of Columbia/Legacy Jazz. They come in blank jewel cases with no artwork apart from a label on each CD which states “Miles Davis at the Cellar Door Disc 1 of 6. This is a work CD-R. Master tapes were not available when this CD-R was made. It was recorded from available disc sources. Reference copy. columbia/legacy © 2002.” The CDs themselves are in mint condition.

My turn BUMP! (I'm sure it closed a loooong time ago)

I've run out of room to keep everything together but on my main shelving . On there I've tried to put all my Blue Note Cds in their original BNLP cat # order with other Blue Notes at the end. My Mosaics Selects Trane Miles Ayler are all together (except boots) , but everything else is a bit all over the place (& piled up in the cabinet under the fish tank).

Apologies for the BBC link - I thought some people may be interested.

Im really not the person to ask about how to download , I'm a bit crap at that sort of thing , but I've not had any problems with realplayer & everything I've listened to or watched seems to stay in my music file ( I always find some very interesting stuff on my PC the morning after a bottle of red wine ). Have you dowloaded realplayer ? I normally put evey weeks broadcast onto minidisc from my radio ( & keep what i enjoy). It would be unfortunate if you cannot listen, a few of the people mentioned on this thread have been on the show (Ellery Eskelin , Sunny Murray , Ken Vandermark - we'll maybe it would have been just me that enjoyed Ken ).

Having said that I haven't played it for about 6 months - I'll dig it out tonight.

I've got that Tim Berne CD, I heard a live show broadcast by him on Jazz on 3 at the the time(a BBC radio 3 show that I'm sure a lot of the posters on this thread would enjoy some weeks http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/jazz/jon3/jon3.shtml ). I didnt enjoy the Cd as much as how they sounded live , I remember a lot of fuss about Marc Ducrets guitar playing at the time but its Craig Taborn that I particularly enjoy here.

The Beatles .

I agree 100% with Aggie that Live CD is FANTASTIC ! I haven't got a lot of Jim Hall's work but I really enjoy what I have. I thought the recent Bob Brookmeyer select came to life (for me) when the tracks with Jim Hall appeared.I have the Chico Hamilton mosaic which includes some lovely work by Jim also.

I'm still waiting for my order from Amazon UK , I did order them with the other batch thats released at the end of the month , so I've got a feeling I'm not going to have an opinion on these for another couple of weeks.

I have the Fueller Mosaic - its great. I especially love Hank Mobleys work on the 'The Opener'.

its a great box & the pice couw mentions is way cheaper than anywhere else

I've bought each set as they have come out , with all but Paul Chambers being completely new artists to me. After I bought the first two sets I knew this series was going to be a great way of a)hearing great music & b)introducing new artists to me . I dont think the last couple of releases have been as strong as the first ones , but like you say thats down to personal preference - Heres how I'd rate them out of 5 (purely to my ears - please dont flame me!). Grachan Moncur 5 Carmell Jones 6 Bennie Green 4 Randy Weston 5 Paul Chambers 4 John Patton 4 Curtis Amy 4 Duke Pearson 3 Bob Brookmeyer 3 Bud Shank/Bob Cooper 3 Even the ones I havent rated as high as others have their own gems among the sessions eg Duke Pearson -'Merry Old Soul ' & Bob Brookmeyer - Kansas City Revisited. I double check the Mosaic site every day looking for the next select release date.

There's me ! just next to Martin Luther King! http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&...t%A0Map=Get+Map

You old fuddy duddy I'll let you off with the office though

I've listened to this just the once (your right it is a bit too much to listen to in one session ). Initial impressions are its money well spent - I thought my speakers were going to melt at some points of the solo soprano tracks ! The DMG review seems to sum it up nicely. I really enjoy AEC's work & its the percussion disc that reminds me most of the AEC sound , plus its quite a unique disc to my ears.

Thats the magnificent Father Ted. Nice one Jazzdog. All this Young ones / Comic strip chat is bringing back some good memories.

It took me a while for my ears to get used to the first work of Chicks I heard - the live Miles electric period , but I did grow to enjoy his work with Miles but not enough to buy any of his solo title until this came out which i only really bought because i had all the other titles in the batch of Conns that were released at the same time , but I'm really glad i did - disc one is excellent.

Thanks for the info. It's great that one forgets what has already been acquired. Can anyone provide a link or any info on where i can get a hold of a copy of the tree please ?

This months update from the KV website , eith some VERY interesting release news NOTES FROM THE FIELD: March After a month of work at home without concerts, February was full of performances in Chicago. The primary work was with the Vandermark 5, Tuesdays at the Empty Bottle and a weekend at the Green Mill, the audiences were exceptional and listening. The quintet worked hard on developing arrangements I had organized for compositions by the great Roland Kirk (“From Bechet, Byas And Fats”, “Rip, Rig And Panic”, “No Tonic Press” from Rip, Rig and Panic; “The Black And Crazy Blues”, “The Inflated Tear”, “A Handful of Fives” from The Inflated Tear; “Meeting On Termini's Corner” from Domino; “Three For The Festival” from We Free Kings; “Silverlization”, “Blue Rol” from Now Please Don't You Cry, “Beautiful Edith”; and “Volunteered Slavery” from the album of the same name. The music was recorded live at the gigs in Chicago and the best versions will be released as the bonus disk for the next studio album by the VANDERMARK 5, Elements Of Style/Exercises In Surprise (Atavistic), which comes out in the beginning of June. Also in February were a string of performances organized by Joe Morris on the East Coast: in Boston and New Haven with a quintet (Joe on bass, Joe McPhee on horns, Nate McBride on bass, Luther Gray on drums). Though it was the first time we had played together in this combination, the music was clear and strong. These gigs were followed by a quartet that played in NY at Tonic with Mark Dresser on bass, Gerry Hemingway on drums, and Joe on guitar. Like the quintet performances from the previous two days, all the music was completely improvised, and the second half of the concert took off into some rhythmically driving ensemble work. Getting a chance to work with Joe again and in these new contexts was fantastic, many discussions about music and film, my head was spinning with ideas and inspiration by the time I left Connecticut. The month also contained shows by the free improvisation unit, CAFFEINE (Jim Baker on keyboards, Steve Hunt on drums); the large band, CRISIS ENSEMBLE (Jason Ajemian and Kent Kessler on bass, Tim Daisy and Frank Rosaly on drums, Fred Lonberg-Holm on cello, Josh Berman on cornet, Jeb Bishop on trombone, Dave Rempis and Aram Shelton on reeds), which performed as part of the 2nd "Elastic Festival Of Improvised Music" organized by Dave Rempis; and the first concert by the DKV Trio (Hamid Drake on drums, Kent Kessler on bass) in more than a year and a half which took place in Milwaukee. This was the second concert in a new series of improvised music performances taking place in that city, coordinated with the help of Jon Mueller and Tom Crawford. During February the next SOUND IN ACTION (Robert Barry and Tim Daisy on drums) album was mixed, it will be released by Atavistic sometime this summer. With all the concerts and rehearsals it was hard to see enough live music, but I was fortunate to catch standout concerts by DRAGONS 1976 (Aram Shelton on reeds, Tim Daisy on drums, Jason Ajemian on bass) on their cd release concert for the album On Cortez (on Locust Music) at the Hungry Brain, and a performance by the visiting drummer Paul Hession with Jeb Bishop and Fred Lonberg-Holm: one of the best concerts of free improvised music I've listened to in quite a while. March breaks wide open with tours and cd releases. Hereís the tour schedule, all of which happens in Europe- TRIPLEPLAY (Nate McBride on bass, Curt Newton on drums) has its first concert in years in Lisbon to celebrate the release of the new album, Gambit (on Clean Feed). Hereís the concert info: Wednesday, March 3 in Lisbon, Portugal at the Teatro Maria Matos. After that I travel to meet the VANDERMARK 5 in Belgium to start our European tour. Dates and locations are as follows: -March 5 in Antwerp, Belgium at the Cultureel Centrum Luchtbal -March 6 in Syke (Bremen), Germany at the Kreissparkasse -March 7 in Leer, Germany at the Kulturspeciher -March 8 in Eindhoven, Netherlands at the Cafe Wihelmina -March 10 in Paris, France at the Banlieues Bleues Festival -March 11 in Geneve, Switzerland at the Sud des Alpes -March 12 in Padova, Italy at the Sala dei Giganti -March 15-19 in Cracow, Poland at the Alchemia Club -March 20 in Vienna, Austria at the Blue Tomato -March 21 in Zell a.d. Braam, Austria at the Landesbildungszentrum -March 22 in Jena, Germany at the Cafe Wagner Really looking forward to returning to the clubs we've played before and playing for new audiences in new places, particularly the 5 night stand in Cracow. We'll be recording there for an upcoming live release on the Polish label, Not Two Records. At the end of the VANDERMARK 5 tour I return to Chicago to take care of final preparations for the ACME Festival in Athens, GA.Check out the website www.acmefestival.com for more specific details and information, but here is the confirmed lineup: THURSDAY, APRIL 1 8pm Atomic 9:30pm Peter Brötzmann/Nasheet Waits Duo 11pm ad hoc group organized by Joe Morris FRIDAY, APRIL 2 8pm Joe Morris Solo 9:30pm The Thing & Joe McPhee 11pm ad hoc group organized by Peter Brötzmann 12:30am Atomic/School Days SATURDAY, APRIL 3 3pm Free Fall 4:30pm Triage 6pm Joe McPhee Solo 8pm Vandermark 5 9:30pm Joe Maneri Trio 11pm ad hoc group organized by Kent Kessler 12:30am Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet SUNDAY, APRIL 4 3pm School Days 4:30pm Joe Maneri/Mat Maneri Duo 6pm Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet In connection to the festival, there will be two brand new releases on Okka Disk: Signs and Images by the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet; and the double cd, Nuclear Assembly Hall, by the ATOMIC/SCHOOL DAYS octet. In addition to these and the TRIPLEPLAY album, Gambit, look for a double cd by the Paal Nilssen-Love/Ken Vandermark duo (on smalltownsupersound) and the ZU/SPACEWAYS collaboration, Radiale (on Atavistic); all to come out during the month of March.
