Good decision regarding Ephemera, but I don't recommend the session with Altschul. The pianist was drunk and sloppy, and the date is so-so. Do you have Curtis Fuller's Four on the Outside. That's a great one! <br /><br />CD Baby isn't defunct per se, but the tunes are only available as downloads. You can also likely buy at Amazon. Let me know if it doesn't work.<br /><br />Thanks for looking into the Tubby date. Quite a band, with Seaman, Mraz, Dodgion.<br />http://gc-pepperadamsblog.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/15596979185803310583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210176749425724889.post-41689807824473480192021-05-18T02:33:43.009-06:002021-05-18T02:33:43.009-06:00Dear Mr. Carner, Thanks for your reply and I think...Dear Mr. Carner, Thanks for your reply and I think I'll now purchase Ephemera on LP and digitise it as it seems to be the best way forward. I'm also going to get the session with Barry Altschul as that seems to have avoided CD as well!!! Tried to purchase the Vol VI via CDBaby, but they are now defunct, I'm afraid, so will await your CD (unless you'd like me to remit to you the cost via PayPal and send me a download). I will look into the Bull's Head situation via my collaborator on the Hayes discog and also various blogs of which I'm a member and get back to you on that. Stuff surfaces all the time - the Ron Mathewson tape collection has just been made available after his death and is fuelling a new reissue label, JazzinBritain, for example - so let's see what I can find out.

No updates on Ephemera coming out as a CD. I've struck out numerous times getting someone to commit to it. My Vol VI (big band) is still only available digitally via CD Baby, though I plan to release it as a CD within the next 12 months. Motema will not be releasing it. Regarding Tubby Hayes, Adams played a gig at the Bull's Head c. 25 March 1972. Has that performance ever surfaced as an audience tape among collectors? http://gc-pepperadamsblog.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/15596979185803310583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210176749425724889.post-65687651260458406302021-05-16T13:59:36.573-06:002021-05-16T13:59:36.573-06:00Dear Mr. Carner, Thank you so much for all your wo...Dear Mr. Carner, Thank you so much for all your wonderful efforts, and I look forward to purchasing the bio in due course (I already have the discog). I had a couple of questions please - I see that you mentioned in your blog the imminent issue of the CD version of the Spotlite album Ephemera, but I can't find it anywhere. Secondly, I'd very much like to purchase Joy Road Vol. VI - I'm one of the persons that Motema did not think would purchase all the volumes, except that I did from them, after writing to them several times about not putting them out on CD.<br /><br />By the way, I feel for anyone such as yourself who is undertaking this massive piece of work in tribute to a master musician. I was co-compiler of the Tubby Hayes Discography, and my other co-author wrote the bio, so we at least distributed the work between us!!!<br /><br />Once again, thanks for a great effort and piece of work so far.MonkSpherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126963103570492527noreply@blogger.com
