Here\u2019s what I found in my search, and insights that suggest this specific pairing and title are unlikely to have been released \u2014 at least officially or prominently.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What came up in searches\n\n- **McCoy Tyner & Jackie McLean \u2013 *It\u2019s About Time*** is an album released in 1985 on Blue Note, pairing Tyner (piano) and McLean (alto sax), but it was recorded in studio, not live at Town Hall. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_About_Time_%28McCoy_Tyner_%26_Jackie_McLean_album%29?utm_source=openai))  \n- There *was* a \u201cOne Night with Blue Note\u201d concert held at Town Hall in New York City on February 22, 1985, that included Jackie McLean and McCoy Tyner, among many others. But that was a large all-star Blue Note reunion concert, not a duo album or a dedicated Tyner-McLean live set. ([allaboutjazz.com](https://www.allaboutjazz.com/news/blue-note-records-to-release-one-night-with-blue-note-a-dvd-video-of-the-historic-1985-town-hall-concert-in-new-york/?utm_source=openai))  \n- \u201cLive at Town Hall\u201d albums in jazz do exist, but none matched \u201cTyner/McLean\u201d as the billed artists or the exact title. ([allmusic.com](https://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-town-hall-mw0002175342?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\uddd0 Possible explanations\n\n- It could be that the concert took place (such as the \u201cOne Night with Blue Note\u201d event) and was broadcast, bootlegged, or partially documented in some compilation or archival release, but not officially released under \u201cTyner/McLean Recorded Live at Town Hall\u201d as a duo.\n- The title might be misremembered or conflated with another live recording. (Tyner recorded many live albums, and McLean similarly.)\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Conclusion\n\nThere is **no officially documented album** titled *Tyner/McLean Recorded Live at Town Hall* credited purely to McCoy Tyner and Jackie McLean, to my knowledge based on available sources. If you want, I could help track down any bootlegs, archival materials, or performances from that Blue Note Town Hall show that might closely match what you\u2019re thinking of. Do you want me to look for those?"

Records**\u2014including albums like *Fire Music* (1965), *Mama Too Tight* (1966), *The Way Ahead* (1968), *Kwanza* (1968\u201369), *The Cry of My People* (1973), and more. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Music_%28Archie_Shepp_album%29?utm_source=openai))  \n- There is a compilation called *The Impulse Story: Archie Shepp* (2006), gathering many of Shepp\u2019s prominent works for the label. Its tracklist doesn\u2019t include a song titled \u201cBlack Mor.\u201d ([allmusic.com](https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-impulse-story-mw0000417736?utm_source=openai))  \n- No discography source\u2014standard ones like Wikipedia, AllMusic, or Shepp\u2019s official listings\u2014shows \u201cBlack Mor.\u201d  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\udd14 Possible explanations\n\n- **Mishearing / misspelling**: It could be a misremembered title\u2014perhaps \u201cBlack More,\u201d \u201cBlack Moor,\u201d or something in a different language.  \n- **Bootleg or unofficial track**: The song might exist on a live bootleg recording or unreleased session not part of Impulse!\u02bcs official catalog.  \n- **Non-Impulse! recording**: Could be from another label, or a collaboration, leading to confusion about Impulse!\u2019s involvement.  \n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Conclusion\n\nBased on the available sources, there is **no evidence** of a Jazz album by Archie Shepp on Impulse! that includes a song titled \u201cBlack Mor.\u201d  \n\nIf you like, I can try tracking down similar-sounding titles, translations, or possibly live bootlegs that might match what you\u2019re thinking of\u2014if you provide any additional details (e.g. where you heard it, approximate year, any lyrics or melodic fragments)."

There\u2019s no clear statement that Audiophile (or GHB Jazz Foundation, for the U.S. CD reissue) is currently pressing new ones.  \n- The availability at retailers appears to be existing inventory rather than fresh production. Retailers like Jazzology and B&N often carry reissues that are in their warehouse or possibly remaindered stock.  \n- Listings indicate it\u2019s a reissue (1999 CD by GHB Jazz Foundation in the U.S.) and imported stock.

        "content": "I wasn\u2019t able to find a definitive match for \u201cAlexander Kushwintein\u201d as a solo guitarist who recorded *Summertime*, either under that name or a close variant. Here\u2019s a breakdown of what I found, plus some suggestions on how to narrow it down further.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What I Found\n\n- No records or discography entries come up for \u201cAlexander Kushwintein\u201d or similar spellings (e.g. *Kushwinstein, Kushvintein, Kushvintine*) associated with a solo guitar rendition of *Summertime* in the era you mentioned (1980s).  \n- I checked sources around Boston\u2019s jazz scene and radio archives (especially WERS 88.9 FM) but found no mention of a solo guitar *Summertime* version by an artist with a name matching that guess. ([bostonradio.org](https://www.bostonradio.org/stations/19482?utm_source=openai))  \n- WERS\u2019 format, history, and artist lists (as far as publicly catalogued) don\u2019t include someone matching your description. ([bostonradio.org](https://www.bostonradio.org/stations/19482?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udca1 Possible Alternatives or Similar Names\n\nIt\u2019s possible the name got slightly distorted in memory. Here are some likely artists who might fit, or similar names that might have gotten mixed up:\n\n- **Eric Hofbauer**: Extremely active solo guitar artist in Boston. While his discography focuses on more recent work, he\u2019s someone to check\u2014maybe an earlier live performance or radio session? ([erichofbauer.com](https://www.erichofbauer.com/solo-guitar?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Peter Janson**: Boston-based solo jazz guitarist. He often performs melodic solo arrangements. Could one of his versions of *Summertime* have been broadcast? ([peterjanson.com](https://peterjanson.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The name \u201cAlexander\u201d is likely correct, it just might not be his first name\u2014or the last name might have been altered in memory.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\udded What To Do Next\n\nHere are a few strategies that could help you track this version down:\n\n1. **Check WERS archives**: Contact the station with an approximate date/time (mid-1980s) and ask if they have playlists or logs. Sometimes DJ archives still exist, or there might be a show archive.  \n\n2. **Search local jazz societies / libraries**: Boston Public Library, local jazz societies, or the archives at Berklee College often have collections of local recordings or references.  \n\n3. **Browse record stores for private or local pressings**: The version might be on a lesser-known vinyl or cassette released locally. Stores like Homemade Records, Newbury Comics, or others might have old catalogs.  \n\n4. **Fan forums / social media**: Posting in dedicated forums for jazz guitar or Boston music history might connect you with someone who remembers the version\u2014which could lead to getting a name or correct spelling.  \n\n5. **Listen to compilations or solo guitar albums from that era**: Sometimes, the version is part of a live set or solo jazz guitar compilation\u2014not directly credited on radio listings, but buried in liner notes.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to compile a list of solo guitarists active in the Boston area in the 1980s who sound similar, or start hunting through radio logs & archives. Would you prefer I take that angle?"
