And what's all this cost?

The new Uptown Dizzy at the Spotlite cd booklet contains several photos from the film "Jivin' in Bebop". I'e seen segments of it but never the whole film. I notice that it's available from . Is it worth getting?

What was the 3rd Lp not included?

Now there's a blast from the past. I used to have the score from Lilith on Lp. IIRC Phil and Quill played on it. Was it on Verve?

I didn't know this existed. Was it released in France?

Congratulations!! BTW where'd you find it?

And many more!!!

Played it in my car on the way into LA today. Surprised (pleasantly) by the non-greazy slower numbers. Whole cd made the trip very enjoyable.

Many years ago when I decided not to ship my 400 or so Lps from Toronto to LA I had John Norris of Coda Magazinze and Sackville Records auction them off through his mailing list. Even after John took a 40% commission, IIRC I got a couple of thousand dollars which was certainly more than I paid for the records. John gave the unsold ones to a University library. My name was on most of the jackets and every so often I'd hear from people who had either bought an Lp or seen one at the library. Aren't there still a couple of of places that hold auctions of Jazz recordings? Not on e-bay but from their own sites?

It has arrived!! BTW what y were you song of the day?

I got a gentle rocking but you could tell it was a quake. But I'm a long way away.

When there's a Republican administration oil prices tend to go down as elections approach.

I know him mostly for his work with Gil Evans though I once saw him leading his own group in LA. He always seemed so young and full of life. The last note on his blog is quite remarkable: he's more concerned about the other people in his ward -- including the staff-- than he is about himself.

When it comes to Monk tunes, I assume the composer's changes as the correct ones, period, no questions asked. This is still not a "universal" practice by any means, but it is becoming more of one. Having said that, though, the Miles bridge is still more commonly played in these parts than is the Monk, unlike Miles' "cheating" bridge to "Well, You Needn't". Sort of like Miles' bridge (or lack thereof) to When Lights are Low.

Just ordered them from CD Universe (cheaper than Amazon in this case even adding shipping). Of course I used the "Search Music" button at the top of this page.

Just as I read this I was listening to Dizzy Gillespie talking about his version of Round Midnight on Piano Jazz!

Me too! I WANT MY Groovadelphia!

I was under the impression that places like Atomic Records in Burbank, and presumably our friends at Dusty Groves, still pay for collections.

I've now had a chance to listen to The Big Heist and as far as I can tell it's a different take or a different part of a take than what's used (with overdubs) in the film.

Wow!> Glad you're ok. Hope your Mom recovers quickly.

James Lee Burke: "The Tin Roof Blowdown". Dave Robicheaux after Katrina. I keep reading the Robicheaux books even though I find them too poetic and too violent. (It's not as contradictory as it sounds.)

Good luck, man.

There was a great film at the Toronto film festival called Heavy Metal in Bagdad. I think it's on DVD now. Worth seeing and I don't even like Heavy Metal.
