Welcome back Larry!!

I recently got this one. Fazola was apparently a very problematic human being, but a marvelous clarinetist. Some nice stuff here.

Newly arrived and now playing!
Listening to Disc 6. It's amazing to hear him stretch out on these sessions!

Anyone have any idea how many were in the first pressing?
My wild guess would be 1,000. I got a first pressing, and the number on my booklet is 0791.

Emma Stone is great. The director is always annoying (for me).
I generally agree, but this one had a Wes Andersonish touch that I kind of liked. And Mark Ruffalo is great fun in it. That said, it is an odd film.

Saw "Poor Things." Emma Stone is amazing in this very strange, but very good movie.

As soon as I saw the notice the "Sinatra story" popped in my head.
Me too.

Exploring some of the Song Books as I read the biography. Her singing on these was simply sublime.

I can't find this anywhere! Are these previously issued recordings or new ones, and where can I find it? Many thanks!

Two chapters into this new one. I'm liking it so far. She's done some good work on Ella's early years.
-
Just saw Bradley Cooper's "Maestro." Really excellent!!
-
Mine arrived Friday and I'm finally getting to listen to disc 1 now. Sound is *outstanding*! Really looking forward to exploring this set!

Nothing for me since I got an email saying my order was being processed. We'll see.

Still occasionally reading in this fun book. Recently, I read the passage where someone asked Zoot Sims what it was like performing with Benny Goodman in the much maligned tour of Russia. Answer: "Every gig with Benny is like playing in Russia." Ouch!

I'm sorry, there's no way we can excuse this kind of abusive behavior by Jacquet, no matter how great he was. Obviously I am not of that stature but I've been leading good-sized bands in complex musical situations for about 35 years and I would never treat anyone like that, and I have had a few difficult - and more than difficult - sideman. You don't like 'em? You fire 'em. And there is even less excuse for Jacquet, who was a well-paid star; if I can handle low-pay and no-pay gigs with obnoxious club owners, Jacquet can act like a grown up (and honestly, he wasn't that great a tenor player anyway; I always preferred his alto). This is part of the dues you pay as a leader. Patience, you suck it up, and you handle multiple personalities with care and diplomacy.
Word.
