REEG
Thanks Allen!

Kenton donated his materials to the University of North Texas. You might correspond with them to see if anything is available, but "Kenton Wagner" is one of his most obscure records, and one of only three for Capitol that I know of that has never been reissued on cd (the others, I think, are "Hair" and "Plays for Today," though I may be missing some).

That book was a scream, I remember reading it when it was published.
I gave up trying to buy a copy of the Teddy Reig book and got it from the library. It is a fun read! One question: how was/is his last name pronounced? "Reeg" "Rige" "Rague"??

Dan may well be on the committee but I am sure he cannot say so.
That does not guarantee he will know. I doubt Wayne Shorter knows how he became a Jazz Master exactly, just that someone nominated him.
True, though I bet Morganstern has nominated a few.

I sent an email to Dan Morgenstern asking how such a nomination could/should be made. Dan should know.
Well, yes he should, since he was one in 2007!!

Yes, well, for whatever reason, if she comes back to Portland, I hope she offers some performances here!

Saw The Menu yesterday. Not for every "taste," but I thought it was (darkly) very funny.

I posted in this topic back in May, but I've managed to find both sets since then, and I was listening to disc 5 of the Brown set when I saw this thread had popped up again! They're both fun sets.

I almost went for that JiP CD set when I saw it at the old J&R Music in NYC years ago but alas the baggage allowance ruled it out. Maybe just as well - that thing almost needs its own room !
I got it in Paris way back in 2002 when the euro was at around 78 cents to the dollar. Bringing it back was definitely a challenge! The JIPs do indeed occupy their own space!

A look at dicogs.com or completed items on eBay will be informative.
Between $350 and $500. It's a valuable set.

Just watched the movie for the first time recently. Sonny's playing on the soundtrack was a highlight!

The Woman King
I really liked that one. Viola Davis gives another oscar-worthy performance.

Yes i guessed that since I read with much pleasure some of your impressions of him, you really know his stuff.
That's very kind. I still remember the first time I heard him. I'd just bought this BYG LP (a French issue of some Savoy stuff). I put it on, and his trumpet just exploded out of the speakers of my old little portable stereo record player. I've been a fan ever since!

My avatar speaks for me. Fats was truly fabulous.

To my surprise, I see that the euro is now par with the dollar.
So this might be a good time to order a European box you've had your eye on.
Yeah, that happened while I was in Europe. I came home with way too many new things!

This monumental box set, btw., seems to be the only CD issue of this album:

I noticed that too. Will wonders never cease? Pre-ordered.
