Indee...You know how much I love this stuff, Chris. Indeed, I do have a bootleg of this complete concert taken directly from the concert's sound system (the quality isn't very pretty at times). Columbia did end up issuing five tracks. Four are on "Ambassador Satch": "Tin Roof Blues," "Dardanella," "Undecided" and "Muskrat Ramble." The fifth, "Sleepy Time," can be heard on "Satchmo the Great."<br /><br />Otherwise, the rest of the concert--a great one, by my favorite edition of the All Stars--is rotting away in the Sony vaults. They've reissued every time Miles Davis coughed in their studio, but they're sitting on a pretty good chunk of unissued Pops (the Concertgebouw, a Milan session for "Ambassador Satch" in December, Newport 1956, Lewisohn Stadium rehearsals and concert, Newport 1958, maybe more).<br /><br />The good news is Scott Wenzel of Mosaic contacted me a few months ago about their interest in maybe a Mosaic Select on 1950s Pops. I told them about the Columbia treasure trove and he appeared interested. Cross your fingers...and keep the gold coming!<br /><br />RickyRicky Riccardihttp://dippermouth.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
