Other Tuesday New Releases
Anyone have approx $85 to $90 USD they don't need?
Terry as a budding Wayne Shorter enthusiast might enjoy this (even though his preference for Don Cherry over Miles is known)

7 Discs! the "My Funny Valentine" Concert in full without the whiny bitch Mort Fega announcer breaking up the music! 17 (!) year old drummer Tony Williams! Basically the lineup / evolution of what would became Miles's infancy in his 2nd famous quintent and first dabblings with electronics.
Cool fuckin' Shit!
Bob Blumenthal, the critic / grammy winning journalist / jazz aficionado (yup I spell checked it) who wrote all the notes to this set (as well as most of the other Colombia boxes) is a Harvard scholar whom I have seen around the Boston jazz scene for years: I sat next to him @ Ken Vandermark, saw him @ Masada, William Parker / Hamid Drake, as well as Peter Brotzmann etc @ all those Boston Creative Music Alliance shows held @ the ICA. I tried to set up an interview with him on PCP, but that sort of fell by the wayside....
Last I heard, Mr. Blumenthal is employed by Branford Marsalis's Cambridge offices / record label, which name eludes me....
If you need info for my paypal acct, lemme know :)
