FYI, I have heard rumours that the Complete Plugged Nickel will be
coming out domestically in the USA sometime.  I don't know when or wayne, but
if it does, and you are interested, you better snatch it up fast before
it disappears, because it will.

The Japanese version did the same, I saw it, then decided not to buy it.
A fellow rec.music.bluenoter asked about it, so I thought twice and got
it.  I am glad I did.  Soon it disappeared, and has never been seen
since.   If you are in the US, you probably will have a tough or
impossible time getting it now.

Personally, I don't think that any of today's tunes will be "standards"
the way that "Body and Soul" is, for example.  Consider all those
Steve Swallow and Carla Bley tunes in the Real Book.  How often do you
hear them performed?  Maybe more often than some of their other tunes,
but you don't go to a jam session and call "Hotel Hello".  And those
tunes are 20 years old!

The music is too diverse now to have a canonized set of standards the
way it did up to the 50's or 60's.  Part of this may come from the
fact that the "lead sheet" concept of composition is not as integral
as it once was.  How many of Mingus' or Ornette's tunes would you
consider to be standards, in the sense that the average jazz musician
could play them right off?  And they're pretty catchy writers.
Stretch out and consider Cecil, or Anthony Braxton, or the AEC, or
even a lot of the "younger" generation who get a lot of mention here:
David Murray, Don Pullen, Don Byron, Bill Frisell, etc. etc.  These
people are not writing "standards" material.

Another aspect of it is that most of the jazz "standards" were catchy
popular tunes.  People aren't writing those any more.  Popular music
is less and less "tune"-based.  And the popular tunes that do exist
are rarely treated by jazz musicians (exceptions: Miles, Lester
Bowie's avant pop stuff.  Who else, recently?)

So I guess I'd answer your question by saying : none of today's tunes
will be standards in the way I use the term.  As far as I'm concerned,
a standard is a tune you can call at a jam session and expect both
players and audience to know.  

Joe Hellerstein

PS -- regarding Charlie Haden and "First Song", you're absolutely
right that he's "pushing" it.  When he visited Berkeley last year he
was passing the sheet music out to students (I lost mine, alas.)

The opening track, "Shobarock", features some blazing solos by an

Towner is the only guitar player mentioned in the liner notes, but
he's only credited with *acoustic* guitars.

This mystery guitarist whoever he may be, was very very good.  The

It's not Holdsworth (I would have recogized him immediately). If

Yeah, I remember picking up a bunch of them on cassette when they were $1.99
each.  What a deal!  There are several I still play occassionally.  One with
the Mingus recording of "Better Git Hit In Your Soul" from "Live At Antibbes";
Trane and Dolphy doing "Mr. P.C.", and Monk doing "Evidence" and "Light Blue"
(my only recording of the latter - what a tune!) comes to mind.  There is also
a live Brubeck/Desmond set (OK, if "Alice" wasn't on either of the other two
albums I mentioned, it is here :-) that includes a "Someday My Prince Will
Come" with a rocking 3 against 4 thing.  There is a live Duke Ellington one
with a recording of "Open House" where Cat Anderson does some things to a
trumpet that no human should be allowed to do - this may be from a Newport
recording?  The only one I was really disappointed with was one with Bud Powell
that didn't at all burn the way you'd expect - it also had Chet Baker doing
an uptempo "Milestones" that had a lot more energy.

If the CD's are as cheap (relatively) as the cassettes were, take all the
chances you like.  Most will probably pay off.

i wouldn't recommend berklee's summer program for a musician with
anything beyond beginning experience.  it tends to be filled with
high-school guitar players.  and string players are few and far
between there, although in violinist Matt Glazer, they have an
absolutely first-rate sting improvisation teacher.  maybe you should
give him a call before deciding.  berklee's number is (617) 266-1400.

What a coincidence, I was just checking some CLAUDE Bolling out of the
library now.

Bolling is more of a third-stream composer than merely a 'french jazz
pianist'. The Piece, 'Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano" was Rampal's
first jazz revording, according to the cassette (Columbia MT 33233,
FWIW). Im also taking home CBS CD MK 35864, which features Rampal,
Bolling, A. Lagoya on guitar, D Humair on drums and G Pedersen on bass.
This is called "Picnic Suite". I dont know what else Rampal has done

Random things I know:

ECM has shipped out a Hal Russell solo album. Look out for that. A third
and final recording will be released spring '93: THE HAL RUSSELL STORY,
another NRG Ensemble recording. Dunno if live or studio, but it was
recorded during the European tour.

Rova just recorded an album of originals for Black Saint, maybe due out in
August. They're still looking for a label and budget to record the book of
commissioned works (from John Carter - an essential piece! -, Robin
Holcomb, Jack Dejohnette, Henry Threadgill, Tim Berne, others). 

Tim Berne also just recorded for BS with Michael Formanek and Jeff
Hirshfield (I think this trio's called Loose Cannons). I've previously
mentioned the Berne date on JMT with David Sanborn, Hank Roberts, Marc Ducret, 
and Joey Baron, performing mostly Hemphill compositions. (Hemphill was a
teacher of Berne's.)

David Murray's new one on BS: A SANCTUARY WITHIN is excellent. Very
hard-edged, reminds me of SWEET LOVELY. Features Sunny Murray (!) on drums,
Kahil El' Zabar on percussion, and Tony Overwater on bass.

Recent Soul Note releases: Jon Jang & the Pan-Asian Arkestra, Mal Waldron
quintet, Gianluigi Trovesi Octet, and an Italian female vocal quintet
headed by Giorgio Gaslini. Looks like Bonandrini is jumping on the
Splasc(h) wagon and recording some of the burgeoning Italian scene, eh?

Dave Holland/Sam Rivers vol. 2 and Sun Ra piano solo vol. 1 from IAI have
also been reissued on CD.

Yup. At the Splatter Trio gig a few months ago, after a meandering

Organization: Geography and Planning, University at Albany
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 92 18:11:03 GMT

I recently ordered through the local record store a copy of Miles'
COMPLETE LIVE AT THE PLUGGED NICKEL.  Instead the distributor sent a
4 CD set called COMPLETE LIVE IN STOCKHOLM (or something like that).  It
apparently has concerts that Miles did in Stockholm with Coltrane and with
Sonny Stitt.  It's put out by Dragon Records, and each disk has an hour or
more of music.

My question:  I have seen the Miles & Coltrane concert on a 2-disk set, and
also the Miles & Sonny Stitt concert on a 2-disk set (both put out by the
same company, but I don't remember which one).  Is this Dragon 4 cd set the
same as those other 2 2-CD sets?  More comprehensive?  Better or worse sound?
Better or worse quality disks?  It seems like the 2-CD set with Coltrane has
an interview with him; that's not included on the 4 CD Dragon set.
I guess the real question is, for the best sound and most complete coverage
of these concerts, is the Dragon 4 CD set the way to go?  The record store
is holding it while I make up my mind about buying it, so I figured I would
see if anybody out there could shed some light on the issue.  The price on
the Dragon 4-CD set is pretty good, by the way:  $55.

Any advice would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

(None of this, of course, addresses the original problem -- what happened
to COMPLETE LIVE AT THE PLUGGED NICKEL?  I'll have to keep working on that

A friend of mine that works for a record company gave me a CD from
Blue Note called "Critics Choice". One of the titles, MAN-TALK that
pleased me among the others where by a muscician i never heard of,
Greg Osby. 

Is there anyone out there that can be of help with informing me of 
his background, records (own&others), live performances.

I'm just curious, can't stand being unaware of a name on a 
Bluenote record

I saw the Adams / Pullen Quartet in 1988 (or was it 1987?) about five
days before Dannie Richmond died.  It's shocking to have seen someone
so lively and energetic, playing such beautiful, *living* music,
and then to learn that he died just days later.

Is this really true that GA has died now too?  Details?
