rejected One Night With Blue Note tracks?

[CJ Shearn]

I just bought all 4 volumes on CD to supplement the music not on the DVD (and well its easier to play the CD rather than get the DVD out to hear the smoking "Appointment in Ghana" with Jackie Mac and Woody), and according to jazzdisco.org there are numerous rejected takes including 4 from the all star Messenger group, 1 by JOS and Turrentine among a few others. The liners to Volume 1 clearly state why "Maiden Voyage" was not included, however anyone with an in with Michael know why these tracks were rejected? it makes me wonder why all this additional material including the tracks from the original 4 LP's wasn't included on the DVD considering how historic the concert was. As a side note despite them being early digital I prefer the mixes on the CD as opposed to the DVD.

From my memory, there were very good tracks on VHS (the McLean/Shaw/Tyner 'Passion Dance' comes to mind) which were suprisingly not on the DVD.
