I think I have all the stuff with Basie. It's the Young brothers band material I'm looking for.

I'm not familiar with her, but IIRC (and I often don't) she has some fans here who might be interest in this review: https://thebluemoment.com/2024/04/26/matana-roberts-at-the-roundhouse/

OK (as is often the case) I was wrong. Buchnamm-Moller does list it. However in the index he just refers to it as "A Little Bit South of North Carolina". He confirms all of the above but adds that he got the info from Lee Young. BTW Does anyone have a source for a digital or cd version of the Everybody's Lp?

IIRC it's not really complete, but rather a collection of what had been previously released as individual albums put into chronological order. If I do remember correctly I wonder if there is more unreleased material. ( just looked at the liner notes and they claim that this is "all known" recordings from the date but I doubt that they had access to the Contemporary vaults.) Nevertheless a great set and I'm just being greedy.

Looks like half the houses in LA.

I've found a playlist on Spotify called "Lester Young Chronological solos:1936-1942". There are 200 entries including many (though not all) alternate takes and recorded broadcasts. There is one entry that is not listed in Frank Buchmann-Moller's Prez discography. It's from 1941 or '42: "Just a Little Bit South" and whoever compiled the playlist says it's by an "unknown band" (and singer). The tenor solo sure sounds like Prez of that era. Any one know about this?

Is this a record for the longest time between replies?

Until he picked up the keytar off a stand he sat at a grand piano at right angles to a an electric keyboard switching between the two even within solos. Though I've seen the film several times it's been a while and I wouldn't recognize the theme from Blowup.

Saw him last night. Terrance Blanchard and Chris Potter part of the sextet. I thought he walked slowly at first but by end of two hour concert he was bouncing around the stage. He filled a 2,000 seat theater and wowed most of the audience (there were a few early walkouts, but the concert was part of a subscription series and unadulterated jazz probably wasn't what everyone was looking for). All the compositions were by Herbie except Footprints which he announced was written by his recently passed best friend, Wayne Shorter. Ended with some Headhunters pieces and never played Water Melon Man.

I've noticed a couple of releases from Impulse on Bandcamp. What's up with that? (I'm not complaining.)

Is that one of the Woodstock releases next to Sweet Baby James?

Me too. But do you think he has the rest of the photos right excluding those of Wille Smith?

I would suspect that transcribing podcasts is not be done by humans.

It was a club booking: The Zanzibar, 1945.
