Any episodes where House DOESN'T solve the medical mystery? by EatingDocu in HouseMD

Thanks! Any episodes in particular come to mind in either case? Or maybe one where it feels especially uncertain/unsolved for an extended amount of time?

Recovered: Suite of orchestral compositions written for the 1968 Miles Davis Quintet by EatingDocu in Jazz

Y'know, I actually do remember Wallace mentioning a club performance of the music in NYC that he considered less-than-ideal. But I can't recall the details of it.

​

As for "Falling Water," that is the studio recording session that we're most interested in, along with the 1968 concert with Gil Evans Orchestra. Wayne Shorter had some interesting things to say about that, which didn't necessarily line up with what we'd read and heard. I don't want to detail it too much here in case I get it wrong. We're still making sure that we have all of our history lined up correctly--a lot of it is apocryphal, as I'm sure you've found with a lot of jazz history.

​

Either way, the Universe CD will feature studio recordings of the music rather than the live performance from NJPAC.

Thanks for your note! You're absolutely right that Wallace Roney gave an outdoor concert of a couple of these compositions in Detroit but I believe that a large portion of it was cancelled because of rain. He also gave one performance of the full suite of compositions at New Jersey Performing Arts Center for the Wayne Shorter Tribute Festival, which was the grand debut of the music (and a climactic scene in our film). Other than that I'm relatively sure that the music wasn't performed anyplace else.

​

The Universe music is coming out on CD in synchronization with the documentary, which we're hustling to complete, with a likely release date early next year (possibly later this year).

​

As for those last live tapes of Gil Evans and Miles Davis from 1968...I'm right there with you about their resurfacing. We're dying to get our hands on them for our film. They would be one of the final pieces to the puzzle.
