  1. I wonder if a Capitol boxed set of Cannonball Adderley would have any appeal? The CDs are pretty much out of print.
  2. This seems to be trending with a number of UK jazz labels, including Acrobat and Sounds of Yesteryear. I don't like paying premium prices for CDRs and unlabeled ones at that. This is definitely an unsavory business practice that will cross these labels off of my shopping list.
  3. My wife’s voice professor was accompanied by Ponty’s wife and was invited to stay in their home while she was in town. She got to meet the cat, but not Jean-Luc, who was on tour.
  4. I thought his name would come up in this BFT but it isn’t Dick Hyman.
  5. I was thinking about this commercial when I saw this thread, even before opening it! That gives away my age bracket!
  6. I avoid televised award shows, especially the Oscars and the Grammys. I rarely go to movies and the artists featured performing or being honored on the Grammy shows are of absolutely no interest to me.
  7. Found in a used bookstore yesterda and I'm just getting started reading it.
  8. Martin Bormann's remains were identified several decades ago and I seriously doubt that Hitler could have kept his mouth shut if he had made it to Argentina. The Soviet Union found the partially cremated remains of Hilter and Braun and took them back to their homeland. There is no telling how much stolen wealth made it out of Germany, I could see some of it turning up, much like the confiscated paintings have appeared when they are researched for provenance before being put up for aucition.
  9. The song was identified earlier in the thread. Hardly close to praise-and-worship, which in churches around here means boring, repetitious modern praise songs with banal melodies played by rock bands.That kind of music will get me out of a church pronto!
  10. Dave Brubeck told me once that he loved hearing Erroll Garner. Much like Oscar Peterson, he gets a bad rap. One guy I just couldn't get into was Jacques Loussier playing jazz treatments of Bach, his recordings felt mechanical to me and I have ong since disposed of his Telarc Jazz CDs.
  11. An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard, and a Dutchman are all on a Zoom call with their company's CEO. The CEO asks, “Can you see me?” They respond, “Yes,” “Oui,” “Si,” “Ja.”
  12. Next up are trigger warnings for the Three Stooges shorts due to the excessive violence. I remember having to edit an interview with a European jazz artist that I aired on my radio show because his answer to my query about how he discovered a vocalist unfamiliar to me who was on his new CD: "I was sitting on the toilet and I heard her on the radio in my daughter's bedroom." I guess that I should of aired it without mentioning it to the PD and station manager.
  13. The obvious solution to rejected performances is that the contract should specify that all of them are to be returned to the artist. Both Gerry Mulligan and Marian McPartland spoke to me about their digust with rejected material being issued years after they had recorded for a record label. As for the Tone Poets, I don't care, if the series is a moneymaker, they obviously should keep re-releasing the LPs. I've felt the same way about record store day LPs, I would rather have a CD, though they aren't always offered immediately in that format. There was a delay before the Sonny Clark RSD LP set was issued on CD and there was extra material.
