There's a fatter chance that Ike Quebec's swing sides (and perhaps John Hardee's) and Quebec's 45 sessions would get the treatment. I'm all for that!

No T-Bone was on Blue Note to my knowledge; If it was 1952 it was probably Imperial sides. I'm a huge T-Bone fan. EMI/Capitol put out a fantastic two cd set that is still available of the Imperial recordings, which is still around and cheap, and a three cd set of the Black and White recordings (my favorite!) that is not easy to find and out of print. These form the bulk of the Mosaic set that was issued; this set also contained a few alternates and other tracks that were on a Capitol set of Texas guitar slingers. . . . I'm all in favor of RVGs of the early hot jazz and boogie woogie sides. . . I know they'll sound fantastic (witness the early Monk and Fats and Bud sides!) but. . .I don't expect to see them. I would love to hope, but realistically. . . .

You both should see Jackie Brown. It has what Kill Bill doesn't along the line of narrative and character development. Arguably more so than Pulp Fiction.

I would have immediately jumped in and said "the two Eddie Gales!" BUT Water has done such a great job with their recent reissues that I am silenced!

I'd like to see Art Hodes material RVG'd. Very much! We won't see the Legge or the Dizzy; they were leased material that EMI won't be leasing now.

It's the sort of thing a label like Jazz Oracle or Frog would include (if the artist were in their scope). . . . It is frustrating that Classics doesn't, but whatchagonna do? I could lose sleep, really I could, but I've decided I've lost enough! It's a nice cd though, the Classics, and I'm glad they got around to the lovely Ms. Scott!

Classics probably didn't consider these "commercial recordings" which is their thrust. . . . Sounds as if these were privately commissioned and pressed or some such. I've never heard of them or heard them. I guess I'll sleep at night. . .

Ruben Wilson "On Broadway"--probably my favorite of his.

Late, I would like to believe you are correct, but I can't. . . . I've personally heard Michael Cuscuna laugh at how bad he thought the unreleased/rejected session was and assure me that he will NEVER put any of it out. Unfortunately, I believe him. Whoever NEXT is the custodian of the vaults may, but not he. . . . I'd love to hear that session. . . really has me curious! I'm a big Tyrone fan, and there's not enough of him on tape.

Well, Hermeto is an acquired taste, and a master of many instruments and musical styles. . . I've always liked these tracks since before I had any idea who Hermeto was; now after many years of listening to him I still like these, and enjoy the pastoral feel of the compositions; they serve a good function on Live/Evil as breaks and "palate cleansers" so to speak, and I like them alone, they have a mood that I enjoy traveling into.

Glad you got to see them! I've only heard great things about their appearnces together.

Eric, the only material I really could do without on this set are the "Hang on Sloopy" based jams. . . not necessary, not going to get a lot of play. I really like the Hermeto Pascaol sessions, the complete versions of Honky Tonk, the progression of Willie Nelson, the Duran and Konda, etc. and especially the Go Ahead John tracks, and The Mask takes, which were exciting to hear for the first time---The Mask is a studio workout of my favorite parts of Thursday Miles from the At Fillmore release. I think you'll really dig it. The remastering of the J J album itself is awesome, and listening to it this morning I was more and more impressed at how 'pugilistic' this music is: Miles the boxer has chosen very appropriate music for a film about a boxer. . . . I've never seen the film, but "Right Off" has a perfect Ali-dancing like vibe and groove with stabbing guitar and trumpet . . . it's easy to imagine this as music in a boxing ring!

I have to say that the Criss Cross I have heard from the last decade or so haven't sent me. I've little to recommend except the Johnny Coles "New Morning." I'll have to look for the Knepper.

The Ellington cd (thanks Jim!) is quite interesting. . . I've been playing it and thinking about it. I haven't yet become a fullblown fan, but he's a very accomplished player! It would be great if he were to have a US contract. . .again. (IF he doesn't have one now.)

No favorites for me to report. I ignore them all!

Many more happy returns! Now that you're old enough to drink and vote, don't do them together and don't overdo either!

Your opinion, duly noted, and personally disagreed with. -_-

Yeah Buddy!

A collection of Lost Quintet material was recently circulated: http://www.miles-trees.org/l5/index.cfm?fu...or_av&artID=968

'Salright! B)

I've been collecting this material for several decades. . . and I agree with Jim entirely. I'll grab any of it that I can, I love this music, it's not much like anything else. I"m dying to hear the Cellar Door material!

This was one of the first lps I've ever owned, it was part of a gift package that was given to US Peace Corps volunteers in 1968 or so, a lot of probably not well selling lps were given out to them, and a volunteer gave me copies of the lps he didn't want, which included Leo Wright's "Blues Shout" and this one, and helped begin my jazz oddyssey when I was 14 or so. I've never found his other lp. I'm hoping one day this "Another Dimension" will see cd reissue.

Just to clarify, what I said was "Many sessions within the Mosaic are not too different than this Verve cd." That means that I was pointing out that there were also different sessions in the box. So in fact, rather than "Not all of it is as Lon says" I maintain that it IS as I say!

Gentlemen: I want to thank you for sharing your experiences!

J, I guess in thinking harder I can see your point about 'beautifying' the violence. It's really hard to deny that his happening on some level. Also however I see this as part of what fascinates me in his work, truly given even more dazzling treatment here. With this story line the violence is the heartbeat, and to me the characterization reinforces that: all we really know about her is that she was nearly killed, her hope of a family was destroyed as well, and she is exacting revenge with relentless drive and focus. I've never ever been in such a situation, and I am certain that I would not take THIS path. But that too makes this an interesting movie for me: I enjoy seeing how people interact with their realities, and boy is this one that is compelling to see unfold. Perhaps I'm becoming more and more voyeuristic, perhaps as I make my own attemps to piece together stories I am more intrigued by how others do this, but I found this a tale that was riveting. I'm going to have to see it again!
