You are correct, sir! :-)  I have a copy of that boot on tape, and it
is indeed the same show... the bootleg contains the entire tape
though, including other cool things, such as Texas Flood (cut because the
tape ran out), Little Wing, and some other blues covers that SRV didn't
play later in his career... it's great stuff to hear...:-)

You're right though, the new disc does sound much better than the boot.

>history intersected (unlike parallel lines, more than once)...

Miles autobiography is certainly the most entertaining jazz "history" book
I've read, and I'd heartily recommend it. But:

1. It is a history of Miles career, which comes into bop a bit after the
   basic developments from Bird, Diz, Monk (all of who later recorded
   with Miles), goes through parts of cool, hard bop, modal, a little
   free jazz, and fusion. It does not at all cover anything before bop,
   (so there will be no Louis Armstrong [except that Miles loved his playing),
   no Duke, no Coleman Hawkins, no Lester Young...), and does not get into
   avant garde (except that Coltrane came out of his 50s quintet, and Wayne
   Shorter was heavily influenced by Trane). So its not a history of jazz
   by any stretch.

2. Miles is HIGHLY opinionated, and does not try to hide it. Many of his
   opinions are controvertial, to say the least, and would have not place
   in a history of jazz (as opposed to an autobiography, which is where
   they are). Anyone who read the book and followed Miles' opinions would
   completely dismiss McCoy Tyner, Coltrane after he left Miles (i. e.,
   dismiss what is usually considered his most important works), Ornette,
   much of Bill Evans, most of free jazz, most of cool jazz, most white
   musicians who don't play guitar...

3. Some of his anecdotes are, at best, in poor taste, irrelevant to the
   music and inconsiderate of some very great musicians, and (in some cases)
   their wives. [What is the point of bitching about one famous musician's
   wife because Miles thinks she looks like Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl?]

4. The acurateness of some of Miles anecdotes has been questioned by people
   like Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Doris Parker (Bird's widow), and
   even jazz "historian" Phil Schaap [:-)]

5. Many of his comments are racist and sexist, which some might find out
   of place. His attitude toward (and treatment of) women, including his
   own wives, is certainly not politically correct.

6. Some might find his constant vulgairsms in poor taste, others (like myself)
   will just find them so tiresome as to have no meaning when used.

7. It is poorly edited. Apparantly Miles just rambled on into a mike and
   Troupe edited it. There are both repetiions and contradictions.

Again, I'm not recommending against it. I found the book very interesting,
and will probably re-read it. But take everything Miles says with a grain
of salt (he seems to speak for effect, not to convey facts), and be
prepared to get angry at him periodically. And don't read it as history.

If Sandeep is refering to Crisis, I agree that it's probably the
strongest of their more recent releases. Actually In America which
Sandeep also listed is worth hearing. Thermonuclear Sweat is an early

George Lewis has also been working on an improvising computer program
(I believe it runs on an Atari :-)). I've seen it do some nice things.
After talking with George Lewis a bit, my impression is he has found
clever ways to avoid the really difficult problems for such programs
instead of tackling them directly.

Finally, I'm surprised Sandeep forgot to mention the exuberant New Yorker
Dave Taylor who usually plays bass trombone. He plays on Herb Robertson's
recent CD.

Any "History of Jazz" book that is less than 1000 pages is not going to go
into much detail on any one artist.  I would recommend Gunther Schuller's
two books _Early Jazz_ and _The Swing Era_ for accurate historical texts.
The "Jazz in the XXs" series is also very good since it mostly features
interviews with musicians.  

For anecdotal/fiction/history you can't beat Mingus _Beneath the Underdog_
and the book by Ross Russell, _Bird Lives_.  

It is amazing how many jazz history texts contain obvious biases on the
part of the author. James Lincoln Collier is a good example of this
phenomenon.  His "Making of Jazz" is a fairly decent survey if you
ignore some of the stupid things he says.

The company is Jamey Aebersold, P.O. Box 1244, New Albany, Indiana 47159
and the catalog is called "Double Time Jazz".  For an example of prices,
the 16 CD Art Pepper Galaxy Recording that was previously described as
about $245 is listed by Jamey at $199.90.  I'm not sure if my catalog is
the most up to date but it does appear that one can save a few coins.
Aebersold is well known of course for his playalong records and CDs.  I
assume that his record and CD distribution company is equally reliable
although I have buy play-a-longs, I have never purchased regular records
and CDs.  It is probably worth investigating.

Subject: A Love Supreme Live?

   I recently picked up an album on the Deja Vu label (based apparantly out
of Austria) entitled the _The John Coltrane Collection_.  The recording is of a
live performance of "A Love Supreme", ambigiously described as occuring in
 'Europe 1965'.  Anyways, the disc is plagued throughout with pops and cracks,
and the single track on the disc (39:23 long btw albeit listed at 40:15 on the
back of the case) fades out and back in at around the 18 minute mark or so...
Additionally the sound quality varies considerable, occasionally one hears tota
l dropouts, (at the worst times too).  All and all the disc reaks of having
a mysterious nature if not being a fullflegged bootleg.   Now my question
revolves around that fact.  I haven't listened to Coltrane, enough/for a long
enough time to know if this is a copy of some legitimate album-- I personally
I had never heard of a live recording of "A Love Supreme" before, but that may
just be due to the fact that I haven't listened to 'Trane all that long-- any
ways if someone could supply with any information.. as in yeah it's legit, or
nopers it sound like the xxxx release from 19xx originally entitled  xxxxxxx
or whatever.   Or if anyone could shed any light as to specifically where/when
the performance (performances?? there is one nasty edit between Persuance and
psalm indicating possible dual sources) was recorded, that also would be
helpful.   Anyways the whole package is one mysterious little album, and any
clarification would be gratefully received.

I have the two Stash CDs and the Spotlite box set of Charlie Parker's Dial
recordings.

An important take missing from the Stash discs is the other Embraceable You,
which should not have been overlooked.  The two takes are both fascinating
and would sound great back-to-back.  I was very disappointed when I saw only
the one take in these releases, but I was beginning to wear out the vinyl,

I have one JT that I really like: SHOW STOPPER.  The first half (first
side when they still had sides, I guess) is with his band, "Jamal",
and it's essentially some Prime Time-type electro-funk.  The rest has
various lineups, one with a string quartet and a singer, another with
guests Julius Hemphil and Olu Dara, yet another is an Ornette tune
done solo, etc.  Eclectic, but very very solid.(*)

The other JT records that I heard were less impressive, more generic.
In particular there's one whose name escapes me (with stamps from all
over the world on the cover?) that attempts to combine musics from
Japan, France, etc but ends up rather bland (to my ears).


--Gidi


(*) Not that it's relevant, but four or five years ago I asked on this
very newsgroup for pointers to recordings with Olu Dara.  That was
after I saw his name as composer on Henry Threadgill's EASILY SLIP and
on Bob Stewart's GOIN' HOME.  The answers, from Marcel and Bill in
particular, told me not only about SHOW STOPPER but also Don Pullen's
SIXTH SENSE and the early David Murray Octet.  So I went out and
bought STOPPER, Murray's MING and the Pullen-Adams BREAKTHROUGH (since
SIXTH wasn't to be found).  And that was the *first time* I ever heard
either Murray or Pullen!  Oh, happy day...

 I'd like to voice my desire to see a vote on this issue.  I've always read
 this notes group and have liked it a lot.  Most of the people seem mellow,
 a lot of knowledgeable cats, and generally pretty patient and helpful to
 people just discovering jazz.

 I'm not a hot-shot notes guy, but I like and play what I call jazz piano.
 Thus my interest in this notes group.

 I've followed this debate, and think it's a good thing.  At this point
 however, I agree with Chris.  This issue is getting dragged out and I don't
 know if there's anyone else out there who shares my feeling, but it's
 starting to bum me out.

 We need to get back to the music.

 So again, I'd like to suggest that a vote be taken.  However that gets done
 in notes land.
