Always great writing.
These DVD's should be interesting. Our public library has a few
of his TV shows with Jazz people on VHS. Pretty good stuff.
What was really strange was the chain smoking going on through
the entire interview. Reminded me of a Ren and Stimpy cartoon.

To the many of us that already have it, this is a *no value added* release,
unless there is additional footage. I mean, the quality of the one that
already circulates is outstanding.
There is underground network that will consider this just an upgrade and
make it available via trading routes. Snicker snicker!

So you're saying that the official release of material which is valuable to
the historical perception of the artist is not important, in fact is
laughable, because it has previously circulated "underground"? Sorry, can't
agree with that. Nothing to snicker about. I would like to see it all "out
there" officially. I know that probably upsets some people's elitist
tendencies. That's just the way it is.

Wow; way to twist my words. I did not say it was not important; I said
there was no value added to those of us that already have it. No incentive
to go out and buy it just because it is now officially realeased.
Nor did I say that it has previously circulated underground, any more than
any other bootleg you might have circulates underground. The trading of
bootlegs is done pretty much out in the open. The underground network I
speak of are the people that many of us know that have no qualms about
trading official releases that straddle the fine line between bootlegs and
pirate copies.
FYI, I don't advocate trading official releases, but I don't lose sleep
because people do it. I do snicker about it though. That's just the way it
is.
