This is great news, indeed. If the rapport between Max and Bird is ANYTHING like it is on the club date from the WASHINGTON CONCERTS disc put out by Blue Note a couple of years back, I'm giddy with anticipation. And it sounds, according to Jim's description, even better. :excited:

This is too fantastic to believe. I have always stared at those pictures from the Town Hall concerts and though if only, if only, if only I could stare hard enough to actually hear something. I CAN'T WAIT!

Rooster: The last newly-discovered Bird might be the 1952 Boston concert. But this is of another, much rarer vintage. This is previously unheard monumental jazz history. An if the music is as good as Jim S. says it is (and I believe that it is), all I can say is FUCKING HELL!

:excited: Well, I miss a few days on the board and come back to something like THIS! Great news, thanks Chuck. A new baby, new vintage Parker and Gillespie - does it get any better? Can't wait for this pending Uptown release!

Yeah, what's the time-table on this. I was talkin' this up at a club just last night, and hated not being able to tell people even any hint of when this might hit the streets.

6 months?? One year?? Hopefully not any longer than that.

Thanks guys. Please don't tell anyone I killed Rudolph and he's hanging from a tree in my front yard. Some nice steaks this winter. :ph34r:

Some good news for those remembering the early messages. The acetate changes with breaks in various performances match up perfectly (with a few pitch corrections) so no solos are interrupted. This stuff does take time to do correctly so the thieves have good source material. Y'all remember there is only one set of discs and we got 'em. The Gillespie estate cleared it and all that (shortly) follow are stealing our work.

I think you will be amazed. :g
