Working on it. They have a Hank tape also. Be patient.

Not sure I follow.

Chewy has expressed the correct opinion that an archive is the ultimate destination for such material. This does not preclude the possibility of commercialization.

I was just adding the information that the Left Bank DC chapter also has a Hank Mobley recording.

I am pursuing all the angles I can to ensure proper preservation of this material. My goal is to avoid another Uptown Left Bank debacle.

Oh, OK, I see your point. Isn't Chewy an attorney in his 40s by now? His youthful exuberance must surely have been tempered by now.

I feel the urge to call up Lou Donaldson suddenly. Good times.

But this is Hank. Don't ask patience of any of us!

Whether it goes where we are hoping it goes is mostly out of my hands. It took years of cajoling this guy to get as far as I got. Five years ago, we were at 'I think I still have some tapes in my basement, I will try to dig them up one day'.
