Get the JSP box. It's cheap and the remastering on the Minton's/Monroe material is the best I've heard. And it also has what I think was a studio rehearsal session with Prez--a mix of Goodman & Basie musicians in a septet, IIRC. http://www.amazon.com/Selected-Broadcasts-Sessions-Charlie-Christian/dp/B00006ANJ5

It can be argued that the two preeminent elder statesmen of the tenor were at the festival and what a contrast. Sure Sonny still plays great, but it's anything but the sound of surprise, and that's what the Shorter quartet is all about. In fact, much as I love Rollins, and he's done some good albums and exciting performances, I don't think he's done anything since his 1972 comeback that matches anything that precedes it whereas Wayne is making possibly the most exciting music of his career.

I can't imagine how they can ever outdo the Y2K lineup: http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/chicago-jazz-festival-2000/Content?oid=903128 Plus there was the Instabile solos, duos & trios at Hothouse.

That's probably what I remembered. I suspect it'll come back to me out of the recesses of the brain folds. When it does I'll let you know. I even told some people in back of me the name of the tune on Sunday. Boy am I glad I bought a vip pass for Sunday after the horror of trying to hear Corea & Burton at that stage the night before. I should have just stayed at the Goldings-Bernstein-Stewart gig, which I left after 2 tunes. On Sunday I had 5th row center seats for the Shorter tribute and the Shorter quartet. Donny McCaslin was by far the surprise highlight of the big band set.

“The report says nothing about the suspect being a Democrat," Chief Deputy Mark Lucas told the Daily News. "I think this was just because he was male." I don't understand this red herring at all. I doubt the perp is aware of very much. Anyway, how do we know she isn't having an affair with Romney? Neanderthals are much classier.

Mark Stryker, help! What was the standard Shorter did for his encore? I knew it that night, and was able to sing the lyrics. Then the next morning I couldn't remember. I thought maybe "Once in a While," until I realized I don't know the lyrics to that one! It was a surprise choice for Wayne, and a song more often done by singers than instrumentalists.

Shorter quartet. Amazing. More when i get to a proper keyboard.
