Jim Dye Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Someone is coming up with a lot of interesting stuff at easytree lately. Roscoe Mitchell aborted album session 1964 prob. Chicago, IL Roscoe Mitchell - reeds Alvin Fielder - drums Malachi Favors - bass Fred Berry (poss. Billy Brimfield)- trumpet The personnel on the aborted Mitchell session is RM, Favors, Alvin Fielder and a trumpeter that is the subject of some controversy. The tape didn't have a name, somewhere on some internet disco, they list Billy Brimfield. According to my friend and favorite underappreciated musician, Charlie Kohlhase, in a recent interview, Alvin Fielder gave another name Fred Berry. I'm not sure whether having this stuff circulate is cool or not. My feelings fall somewhere between B-) and . Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 This is really disturbing. This is not an aborted session. I have all the material and hoped to issue it some day. Roscoe and Alvin control the rights. Can anyone produce a source? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Can anyone supply the tune titles and timings for this material? Thanks. Quote
RDK Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Chuck, there's not much info at the easytree link. It only lists "3 songs, 18 minutes"... http://www.easytree.org/torrents-details.php?id=33903 Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I emailed this thread to Roscoe and he seems dismayed as well. Quote

I tried. What are the tunes and timings? Hmm. Guess you have to register to see the details. Didn't know that. From the vague description, the titles are unknown. I can download this tonight and send you a copy... Quote
Jim Dye Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) The timings are 3:13, 5:32 and 6:42. Edited March 24, 2005 by Jim Dye Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I just e-mailed Charlie Kohlhase alerting him to this thread. We'll see if there's anything he might be able to do in terms of finding the source here.... Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Great! I want to know the source. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 He claims it was years ago from a "tape trader." Who knows. Charlie works at Stereo Jacks where all kinds of jazz heads go to get a fix. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Chuck, I think you or Roscoe should get in touch with Easytree. I know they will take an artist off the approved trading list if they want to be removed. It might not be a bad idea to have some of your other artists removed while you're at it. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I have received information it's been taken off the Easytree site. Quote
Д.Д. Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I have received information it's been taken off the Easytree site. Good, Chuck. Now how about releasing it? Quote
gslade Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Another good release to look forward too? Hopefully there is even more material. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I'd love to. Roscoe called early this morning and we discussed it again. All we need is a pile of money. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 The organissimo fund drive for May?? I am not serious. Mike Quote
Tom in RI Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) I would imagine the moderators at easytree took it down after reading our own relyles' post that the artist didn't wish the session to be spread. Edited March 24, 2005 by Tom in RI Quote
relyles Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I would imagine the moderators at easytree took it down after reading our own relyles' post that the artist didn't wish the session to be spread. For what it is worth, after my posts I received a message from the person that uploaded the recording to easytree, Carville, that he was not aware of the dubious source of the recording and that he voluntarily requested the moderators to remove the torrent.

Yes, Carville registered here and contacted me via the board to give me the news. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Dare I ask (Chuck) who the trumpet player was on this date?? Though I realize that there are much bigger fish here to fry, than clearing up a discographical uncertainty. (FWIW, I did not download the date, so I'm only asking out of wild curiosity.) Quote
