Someone once wrote (maybe it was somewhere in this thread) that every time OP came up, we should respond with "42."
He's sort of like fast food for me. Not necessarily that good for me, but pleasantly filling.

The Taste Of Things
I really want to see that, but only if I have time to sit down to a good meal at a restaurant afterwards!

I like Benny Carter. Seems like his currently available discography is sort of falling into disrepair. He had his own orchestra at times. There are a few euro-compilations of his stuff, some individual albums, the Chronological Classics... I wonder if there isn't a Mosaic set or two worth doing in there?
I'd buy that! But I'd like to see a Lionel Hampton Decca/MGM 40s set first!

The JSPs remastered by Davies are more than good enough for me, and they start with pre-Columbia owned things in 1930.

Philology put out some of this stuff too, but I can't figure out where they got it either!

Finally saw "All of Us Strangers." A really interesting movie with fine performances all 'round.

This, pretty much.
Yeah, that game was a bit of a disappointment. I'd kind of hoped to see them get into the big game, but it should be a good game, regardless.

RLR
in Discography
I'm bumping this one to ask about RLR. It's gotten mentioned a few times over the years together with the Andorran labels, so I'm curious if we've ever discovered exactly what the case was with this label. Boot? More or less legit? I recently got hold of most of the Clifford Brown things issued by the label--or reissued by the label. The sound is often pretty mediocre, but there is some amazing Brown on it. Anyway, can you all enlighten me on this one?

Great idea! Maybe they can convince the Goodman estate to allow the release of the Goodman/Christian and Goodman/Prez material in the Savory collection.
Do people remember the Lp where they spliced together Christian solos from different takes of the same song?
My sense is that the Goodman estate is just about the hardest one to deal with in the entire jazz world.

Agreed! I just finally finished listening to Disc 10, and I really enjoyed the small labels part. I was listening to an earlier disc a couple of days ago when suddenly I heard Charlie Parker. That brought me up and reminded me to look more closely at the booklet!!

I was really impressed by Domingo because I had just seen him play such a different role in The Color Purple.
I haven't watched Color Purple yet. Despite my love of music, I'm put off by musicals!

Watched that one last night. I thought Colman Domingo was excellent, and what an interesting part for Chris Rock!

I loved the performances in that one, but I found the film music often kind of irritating and off-putting. Which is odd, because I generally love film music!
