At some point late in 2020, I'll be shoving this doc into a book-design application...

IN THIS REGARD THEN: Many areas of this document may look like a chaotic work-space for the next few years.
Thank you for your patience! (Book to come...) —RL

    UPDATES since September 22, 2019 / Latest update 12:36pm, August 18, 2020, only to add No Business Archival releases.
    But I am no longer (last update here December 5, 2019) updating this updates page. I am just too busy.

    —Currently working through 1977-78...
    —Searching page-by-page through late '60s and mid-'70s Village Voice issues...

  • Releases:
    77.11.06 Sam Rivers Quintet: Zenith (NoBusiness Records)
    78.01.12 Sam Rivers Trio: Ricochet (NoBusiness Records)
    64.07.14 Miles in Tokyo (Get On Down)

  • Corrected:
    Date 75.11.00 Carman Moore: Four Movements for a Fashionable Five-Toed Dragon (was 76.02.29)

    HUGE head-crushing mayhem fixes and detective work, including the maddening three-session mislabeling adventure of 02.11.23,
    02.11.24, and 03.07.25; The Hong Kong Trade Council "Five-Toed Dragon" sessions (late 1975 through early '76.);
    the Tuba Trio sets and all of their attendant cuttings and bootleg recordings; and there's more, but I'll spare you.
    Will post when corrections have all been entered...

    • —Additions August 18 through September 21, 2019:

    —Dating and organizing over a thousand data images from the Gillespie Archive got in mid-July at The Smithsonian...
     *** There are so many things in this section (Feb. '87 thru May '89) that I'm not going to list them here.
        If you need to know, do a command-F on "Fishman" and "NMAH," as almost all of these have those tags
        as reference. In addition, this section looks more like a workbook now, and will remain so for
        many months as I work my way through all of these assets.
    —Just finished adding a million details to recordings from the Orlando years.
     Added hundreds of details from another trip to revisit The RivBea Archive, and also hit Full Sail University
     recording studios, and the archives of Doug Mathews and Matt Gorney in late June.
