It never made sense to me to wish a dead person Happy Birthday. Instead, it’s better to note that this woukd have been the anniversary of their birth. Tuesday would have been my father’s 105th birthday (had he not died of a heart attack at the age of 56). I will simply note to myself that it would have been his 105th birthday

One of the first books to explore Dylan’s Minnesota roots.

Billy Hart Has One Foot in Jazz’s Past and the Other in Its Future No paywall.

Disc 1.

Took me awhile to get into this but starting to enjoy it.

He’s been responsive on the few times I’ve asked him a question on FB.

I purchased this years ago. Phenomenal music.

I posted the question about the additional tracks being rejected tracks and this is the reply from Joe Harley on FB: “Alfred approved and sequenced the original 5 track album. Later, after Alfred had passed, Michael Cuscuna added three great additional tracks to the CD version of the original. Michael was a dear friend of mine and we discussed this reissue before he passed. The additional 6 tracks are very worthy of being released. You can hear one of them now (‘The Take Off’) I did not include takes where there are technical problems like the tape running out or tape starting halfway through. I did not include one take because Michael and I agreed it was not worthy of release.” I don’t have the US re-issue, just the 1993 TOCJ, which only includes the original five.

You say it irks you that it’s called complete when it may not be but earlier in the thread you said you planned to buy the cd. Isn’t that slightly contradictory?

Why don’t you ask Joe Harley about this on FB?

RSD can be sold online the next day. You will be able to find them on Discogs, usually at the same price. The RSD thread on Hoffman is quite useful as many people will tell you who has what leftover I’ve found many a title that way You can also find them on RSD Market, which has a lot of older titles at good prices.

The issue date for all formats is April 11. I will probably purchase the vinyl, particularly if the cd is in a digipak.

If he has a monster season, which I doubt, he will find suitors. I’m sure Mets are hoping he has a good season so they can return to the playoffs and so he opts out; they wish to sign Vlady.
