Power of Three with Michel Petrucciani, Jim Hall and Wayne Shorter

Holy crap, it's a real interview??! I assumed this was from The Onion or something.

What if the parents are as dumb as dirt?

Has John Tchicai been mentioned? Started out on alto, plays tenor nowadays.

Very interesting indeed! Miles' tone sounds a lot brighter and fuller on that excerpt. Looking forward to hearing these recordings afresh. Pity those long winded radio announcers couldn't be eradicated, but what are you gonna do? -_- Some recordings of Parker from the festival came out on Philology's Birds Eyes series. Sound is variable from track to track, mostly quite listenable.

Sonny Rollins made a few recordings on soprano. It didn't really suit him, but interesting nonetheless.

They do. But he signed this one.

Tete Montoliu?

They would need constant reassurance that you're not seeing other domestic appliances. 'Honest, honey, there's nothing going on between me and the toaster...' Plus, I'd be afraid of catching one of them there computer viruses.

The boxed set of Dexter's Steeplechase (studio) recordings has him doing just that on- if memory serves- Polkadots & Moonbeams

This would make for an interesting Blindfold Test...

And now it's 'Buy Nothing Day'!! http://www.buynothingday.co.uk/

I won't be listening to any KLF records all day. Does that count?

We were going for studio items that aren't in any of the boxes (if you include live items then there's quite a bit omitted from the boxes- the rationale for inclusion seemed inconsistent from box to box) Call It Anything was really an edited-down version of the whole set at Isle of Wight. http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Sessions.aspx?s=700829 The Miles Electric DVD that came out a couple of years ago has the whole set, unedited.

Miles was on that?!

The Music for Brass album isn't included anywhere: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=561020 October 20, 1956 (1 item; TT = 10:40) Columbia 30th Street Studio, New York NY Commercial for Columbia Brass Ensemble of the Jazz and Classical Music Society Miles Davis (tpt, flh); J.J.

Davis does not play on "Pharaoh," and Joe Singer and Bernie Glow are impressive for both accuracy and range. Last reissued in the compilation Birth of the Third Stream in 1996 but probably hard to find these days. There was also a previous discussion as whether this session counted as a Davis/ Coltrane Columbia recording or not: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=580625 June 25, 1958 (4 items; TT = 15:42) Columbia 30th Street Studio, New York NY Commercial for Columbia Michel Legrand and His Orchestra Miles Davis (tpt); John Coltrane (ts); Phil Woods (as); Jerome Richardson (bs, bcl); Herbie Mann (fl); Barry Galbraith (g); Betty Glamann (harp); Eddie Costa (vb); Bill Evans (p); Paul Chambers (b); Kenny Dennis (d); Michel Legrand (arr, cond) 1 Wild Man Blues (L.

Although these arrangements sound a bit precious, and Coltrane in particular sounds constrained, Davis and Evans have some fine moments. Two other sessions in Columbia Studios for this record, June 27 and 30, do not involve Davis or any members of the Sextet.

I have as much chance of figuring out Zlotys as Euros. £56 doesn't sound too bad (Still, just the master takes and half the price would sound even better) If I can find it for under £40 I'll bite for sure.

I've been waiting to see if a collection of these would appear, so this is great news. I'm wondering if I really need all the alternates, but I'm not going to gripe if I can find it at a good price. What's that in real money?

My advice? Buy everything (legit) with Clifford's name on it, without hestitation. Some are better than others (and they've been covered here) but you'll find some rewarding music on them all. Considering how little time the man had to make music, it's not that difficult. The EmArcy box is starting to show its age in the remastering department; are the individual issues better sonically?

Tried this three times now and each time, I've started out seeing her going anti-clockwise, then after a couple of minutes it 'flips' (usually when I've been distracted by text or something else on my screen) and it seems to be going clockwise. then I have a hard time seeing it any other way.

This is kinda interesting.... A test to see if you are right or left brain dominant. Take a look at the spinning dancer. Is she moving clockwise or anti-clockwise? http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor...5012895,00.html

A discographical question.... The 'Unedited master' of 'One and One' (which is completely different to the issued track and which was party issued as 'What If' on Panthalassa) is credited to the June 6th session, where one David Creamer played guitar. But... that has to be McLaughlin on guitar! So, is the date wrong? Is the attribution of the title wrong? Is Creamer a note-for-note McLaughlin clone? (Edited to note this is one of the highlights of the box for me.....)

Nat Adderley Jr played keyboards for Luther Vandross. This one may not count....... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0627670/
