What survives of Todd Barkan's private recordings

[Hardbopjazz]

The owner of the Keystone Korner Todd Barkan use to record the shows at his club without permission of the musicians. Many of the recordings were lost when he had a fire. I came across one and wondered if there were more. Anyone know more about Todd Barkan's recordings.

The one I found was Sonny Rollins from 73.

High Note has released some Todd Barkan recordings. The latest was by Jaki Byard.

Max Gordon used to record Village Vanguard shows too. I've always been curious about what exists.

The Bill Evans 'Consecration' set was recorded by Barkan at Keystone Corner.

There's also the Tete Montoliu 'Live at Keystone Corner' on Timeless.

Plenty more...

And the latest Keystone Korner release is Pinnacle by Freddie Hubbard.

I didn't know about the fire, but I heard that the archive is huge.

He runs Dizzy's Club Coca Cola now. I don't know if I should ask him what exists and are there any plans of getting the music out to the masses, that is if the artists or estates agree.

You might get a response. He answered an E-Mail I sent regarding The Evans Keynote sessions some while ago.

What did you ask about the Keystone shows? Just curious.

I asked about the final Evan's recordings of 1980. His answer was "Everything that Evans played was recorded and everything that was recorded was issued on CD" I you have the 2 -8 CD sets of this engagement you got it all.

It seems like I heard the same rumors about Buddy Rich's old nightclub in New York. Was it on 33rd street?

Phil Woods told me that he has Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola record every set that he performs there.

Re: Dizzy' Recordings,

A single night is recorded at each week long engagement so that the music can be edited down to a broadcast on XM Radio.

About Todd's archives: I'm sure that he takes care to get proper releases from any musician or estate. There are recordings that have been issued on Theresa Records like:

There was also a Keystone Berkley, where there was a more blues/soul programing.

Here's a poster of the original Keystone Korner I found:

He was in a serious car accident some months ago, but fortunately seems to be recovering well.
