I was wrong (I often am)-- I don't have the entire concert just the "modern" versions of the songs. Is there a source for the traditionalist versions?

There are a couple of cd releases and Bravo broadcast an hour tv show taken from it so there's probably some videos around. (I taped it at the time then made a DVD from the tape so it looks pretty awful.)

The other songs are: Sweet Lorraine (which they call Struttin...), On the Sunny Side of the Street, Dippermouth Blues, Loveless Love, Monday Date, and Squeeze Me. And yes, the Impulse sides are terrific.

Thanks, but no. All different songs.

Eight of the cuts are from a George Wien Newport Allstars that was originally on Impulse. I can't pin down the other six, one of which is mis-titled (It's Sweet Lorraine and they call it Strutting with sound Barbecue.) Also doesn't sound like Pee Wee on them. I've tried to sort it out using Lord but to no avail. Help!!

Anybody got any'78s? (I used to have the original BB&B release but broke both when I moved to Santa Barbara. Kept the album cover though.)

I no longer have any Lps but I think I have as many EKE cds and box sets as you do. Not sure whether I'm bragging or complaining.

Just read the chapter about the court marshal of Sonny's dad. Wow! I know we're note supposed to discuss politics here but........

Yes and I also follow him on Twitter.

I love that book. Also like https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Richard+Williams+Long+Distanfe+Call&i=stripbooks&crid=2GX2GT8OZNVE2&sprefix=richard+williams+long+distanfe+call%2Cstripbooks%2C363&ref=nb_sb_noss which has the same picture on the cover which unfortunately makes it look like a bio of Chet Baker. Williams is one of my favorite writers on music. (Weirdly enough he also writes about sports.)

SawTyson at the Horseshoe once and he introduced it by saying that he hoped Young's version would help him retire.

On page 32 Dinah Shore is amongst a long list of luminaries "dotting Sugar Hill"!??

Thanks. I have that book and didn't remember the essay . This was very helpful, but I believe there was an earlier essay (perhaps a review for the Village Voice) where he says much the same thing but is even flowerier (is that a word).

Somewhere Stanley Crouch wrote about the December 24, 1954 Miles Davis session with Monk on piano. Though I've found references to, and quotes from, the article/review, I've never been able to find the whole piece. Does anybody know where and when it was originally published and if it's anthologized anywhere?

I'm embarrassed to say that it's 68 (going to 70) and clear here. (But we desperately need precipitation.)

Just noticed that I labeled this wrongly: it's Symphony Ballroom not Symphony Hall.

Mark Stryker just posted about this on Twitter. It's been up for at least a year. Anyone here know about it before? Bird is on fire but most other solos are cut out. Should we start (is there already?) a thread for finds on Youtube?

How (Where) did you find it on Spotify?

As a coffee table book the Dylan is pretty good. Great pictures even if you aren't told who's in them. There are photo credits for copyright reasons but no mention of subject matter. I had no idea who was with Little Richard and Eddie Cochran on the front cover, though I did recognize Billy Crystal's dad at the Commodore Record Shop on the back cover. As to the content: The title is misleading unless it uses "modern" in the sense of "mid-century modern", and it's usually about records not songs. The latest persona Robert Zimmerman has created for Bob Dylan is that of grumpy old man. The book has been rightfully attacked for its misogyny but in fairness its generally misanthropic. Most of the essays are in the 2nd person singular as if the reader were the main character in the song. Usually (but not always) there is an additional essay giving interesting facts about the song, recording, or composers. (I suspect much of this is from Eddie Gorodetsky who gets a thanks at the beginning.) Taken in small doses it can be fun and even funny but reading several entries at a sitting is an uncomfortable experience.

Kinescopes of it do exist. I saw a screening of one in NY at a Duke Ellington conference a few years ago. Unfortunately none of them are in colour. The correct (mono) take is on a cd entitled "Ralph Ellison: Living with Music". (These 2 replies together reveal me to be a pedant.)

Thanks.

What's "Blue Coronet"? A Miles bootleg?

Neil Young and Crazy Horse?
