Ron Cater, Bobby Hucherson (label of Hutch's "Components" Conn) Jimmy McGriff listed as the composer of "Motorin Along" on the original '96 domestic McMaster of "Home Cookin" Jacques Prevert listed as Pervert on the back tray cover of Chick Corea Akoustic Band: Live at Blue Note Tokyo. Kenney Burrell: original 1986 domestic McMaster "Midnight Special"

the huge dump he takes at the end of that makes me laugh. I mean, the trumpet fart, excuse me

man, Jack nails 2 of my fav. Freddie related albums. He's on fire on that live "Why Wait".

listening to Keystone Bop: Friday/Saturday now. A true reminder of how on top of his game Freddie was in 1981, the year I was born. Some prime JoeHen here as well.

RIP. Thank you for the GREAT music all these years.

Tyner solo recorded in SF, at Yoshi's?

My friend (who admittedly knows little about music) got me an 8CD box of Mozart a 250th Anniversary edition for X-mas on the el cheapo and much maligned Madacy label. I've heard that Madacy has begun getting recordings licensed from Sony and EMI, so far the sound is ok, are the recordings on this box licensed from Sony, EMI or other major classical labels? a link to the box is here http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-250th-Anniver...7542&sr=8-1

I'll skip "Grant's First Stand" the '99 McMaster sounds fine, sure the numbers in the BN logo are the wrong color, but that's a minor issue. I'll definitely pick up "One Step Beyond" as I've picked up a LOT of Jackie Mac lately.

I think he only does it as a figment of Chewy's imagination.

I also received rather than the RVG, I guess Amazon didn't list it right, that weird Spanish blue cover version of "Further Explorations Of the Horace Silver Quintet" that is really the TOCJ. Really interesting odd BN in my collection.

I haven't heard this whole thing, but amazing, fascinating link. Thanks.

a couple MMA DVD's: PRIDE Bushido 12 DVD , EliteXC Smith vs. Lawler II DVD, Chick Corea Rendezvous in NY DVD set Bobby Hutcherson: Components, Horace Silver: The Stylings of Silver and Six Pieces of Silver. And a new comforter set. I also pulled the trigger on a LOT of Jackie Mac, Vertigo, Right Now!, Jacknife, Old and New Gospel, Let Freedom Ring, Destination Out!.

Thanks Bertrand. Another one of those weird things where Herbie is not credited on organ.

I got "Components" for Christmas, and right now am listening to "Air". Is Herbie credited with playing organ on that tune in the BN discography?

wow CODA ssems to have issued a lot of dirt. Not surprising Scott Yanow writes for them, given his penchant for dismissals of many sessions and musicians.

I put this in the wrong, oops. I just read the other thread. Really, a whole lot of theories in the article are BS. I mean, when did Alfred or Frank ever sabotage talent? I can't think of any instances. edit: I guess Freddie Redd and Grachan Moncur according to Jim Sangrey.

http://chass.utoronto.ca/~chambers/tinabrooks.html apologies if this has been posted before, but this article is very interesting. The author seems to suggest that the majority of Brooks' albums being unreleased at the time was b/c of his addiction and Blue Note knew that so they kept the albums shelved. I don't buy that, b/c Hank had an addiction, and they released his stuff, not only that but the groups on Brooks' records are impressive. Something about Alfred Lion and Frank Wolff not caring about Brooks seems kind of strange to me.

woohoo! My aunt got me the rest of the Tina Brooks on my list "Minor Move", "Back to the Tracks" and "The Waiting Game"! oh, just caught that photo from the Jack Wilson session. LOL. They looked like they were goofing off, Billy and Cranshaw look hiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh though.

Pat Metheny: New Chatauqua: bass, and fretless bass Pat Metheny: Secret Story: keyboards, percussion, electronic percussion, bass, Synclavier does Steve Reich playing organ on "4 Organs" or any other pieces count? Chick Corea: drums "Confirmation" (duet with Mike Brecker) Bobby Hutcherson: drums (the last tune on "Oblique")ditto Joe Chambers marimba and vibes Keith Jarrett: guitar (Restoration Ruin) Kenny Garrett: piano (title track, "Beyond the Wall) Wayne Shorter: piano (on "Black Market" from "Weather Report:Live at Montreux 1976" DVD) Woody Shaw: "Stepping Stones" cornet Freddie Hubbard: "Empyrean Isles"- cornet Johnny Hammond: electric piano "CTI All Stars: California Concert" Thad Jones: french horn (section playing on Grover Washington Jr's "Inner City Blues") Tony Williams: vocals ("Emergency", "Turn it Over") Ok, so not full sessions BUT................. except for the Jarrett (which I don't have) these are all cases in my collection where musicians switch off

added the "Introducing" to my wish list as well!. What sorta tone did Leon Henderson have, was it a lot like Joe's?

as far as the Tony Tokyo Live stuff, MC told me once they don't have the rights to the additional material, nor was it mixed.

thanks David, I just sent an updated email about Freddie's condition to my musician friends one of which is a huge Hub fan. It's a shame when false RIP rumors go around.

Damn...... one of my fav. trumpeters. thanks for the GREAT music. RIP Freddie.

that is very true John L. A trait some of the worst professors I had in college shared, b/c they had all gone to high level institutions, had the work published and had inflated senses of self importance. It sounds like Wynton was projecting his issue onto Allen.
