Blakey if I wanted to have something "safe" that just grooves.
Roach if I wanted to listen more closely and figure out things.....
Me too.

It’s here!
Listening to the live things on disc 10. Some nice Lucky Thompson and Howard McGhee!

The Teagardens, Kenton Presents: Rosolino, and the Basie Roulettes, but I like most of 'em.

Excellent news! We miss you when you're gone!

Watched: Dark Winds finale
Will finish this one later: CNN special on Bannon
Then: WestWorld episode from last night.
I was gone and just caught up on Westworld last night. Some good Ed Harris. That series continues to be fun.

The Barney Bigard session with Art Tatum on disc 5 is one of my favorite dates from the set thus far. A lot of the mid-late 1940s “Long Tall Papa”-style double-entendre vocal blues genre on discs 4 and 5 which tends to weary me these days, no matter how good the performers or performances, but I knew that going in. On to disc 6 and Jack McVea.
That's funny. I'm just reading this as I finish the Bigard/Auld stuff on disc five. Bigard and Tatum are up next! On the whole, I'm really enjoying the variety on this set so far. There have been some pleasant surprises (Mike Lo Salzo, anyone?!), and I'm hoping for more.

Mine arrived in Portland yesterday. I'm just finishing disc one as well. Some lovely Pee Wee Russell, and as a long-time fan of Bechet, I'm always delighted to hear more. Great booklet. I think I'm really going to enjoy exploring this set!

Ditto. Now it has to make its way out here to the Best Coast!

This LP has Dexterity, Bongo Bop, Dewey Square, The Hymn, Embraceable You, Bird of Paradise. One of the greatest recording sessions in jazz.
I still have all those Spotlite LPs, even though I long ago replaced them with the Complete Savoy and Dial Recordings box. It was a considerable point of pride for me back then when I managed to get hold of those LPs. And the music was--and is--so very fine!

I seem to recall that there was another discussion about the Keynote box they reissued but can’t seem to find the discussion.
If you type "Keynote Box" in the search box you'll find a couple of discussions of it.

It looks like most of it is from national guard transcriptions from the early 60s. There may not be a definitive indentification.
Yes, it was, and you're probably right, but hope springs eternal! Thanks for the response.

The Old Man - Jeff Bridges
I liked the first two episodes well enough to stick with this one.

I'm bumping this one in search of some info. I recently bought (off a discount bin) Basie's "LET'S GO TO TOWN" on Sounds of Yesteryear. It gives no personnel and no recording dates. Some sites claim the four sequential shows (numbered 237, 238, 239, and 240) are from 1957. Lord lists the first six (of 22) tracks as "poss. 1962" and gives one personnel, then lists other tracks from three different shows as "poss. 1960." I don't think it's '57. Joe Williams is on hand for all four 15-minute shows and is constantly referred to as "one of our graduates" by Basie, so he was just guesting. And it can't be from two different years if the shows are sequential.
Does anyone out there have accurate info for this one? The sound is very good, and there's some especially nice Williams on the disc.

Yah, but I like that Randy Newman (Copeland-like) score.
Me too, regardless of how it's spelled!

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds"
Interesting. Somehow retains an "original" Star Trek vibe.
I agree. I think it's the most "Trek" of the recent CBS shows.

was he able to assure you that your order wouldn't be double-filled?
Yes, but who knows how it will all come out in the wash? We'll see. I do note that my card has been billed, which could mean the set will soon be on its way!

I was traveling and only heard the news today on the SeriusXM jazz station. Total shock. I figured--hoped?--he'd be with us a good while longer. RIP.
