  1. [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/ZKngZcSh/Screen-Shot-2023-10-02-at-12-03-15-PM.png[/img][/url] Having messed up with post images how do I delete this? I'm not being offered a "delete" option when I hit the 3 buttons. Just "edit".
  2. According to Milt Hinton he ran into him the street and hired him for his (Gleason's) next session thus beginning Milt's studio career.
  3. Is that a first edition? Also, I thought he'd dropped the "Ross" by then.
  4. IIRC the SACD of KOB had an interesting 4 track setting that did put you into the middle of the recording session. Since I no longer have a SACD player I can't check it. (Anyone want my copy gratis. ) What I don't remember is how you chose between stereo or 4 track. Did the SACD player have 4 track setting? Also I hope this will lead to a quad release of the Gil Evans record that was quadrophonic (Svengali?).
  5. 4 Channel BluRay ? I have fairly small rear speakers in my tv set up. I wonder how much that matters.
  6. I think I've read and usually enjoyed everything by Pynchon but it took me a long time to get through M&D because of the language.

  8. Just under $19 including shipping.
  9. Wow, where'd you get it? Losin says the release date is Oct. 2.
  10. And of course there's the controversy as to whether it is him or Dizzy playing piano on Koko. IIRC Hakim said it was him in a Coda interview.
  11. The Fugitive 1993 dir. Andrew Davis. Stars Harrison Ford. There is (or was) an OST: "Music by James Newton Howard featuring Wayne Shorter." Be warned: not that much Wayne on it.
  12. Went to a screening of the "restored" version of The Fugitive and at the end of the music credits it says "Saxophone solos by Wayne Shorter" which prompted someone in the audience (not me) to shout out "Yeah, Wayne Shorter!".
  13. I once heard that same joke told on the CBC with Lord Beaverbrook as the celebrity . It caused questions in parliament.

    Bob Dylan corner

    I'd have liked it better if he'd exchanged some of the songs he left out from those sessions with some he used.

    Bob Dylan corner

    I dunno: I really like Blood on the Tracks (especially with the originals of the ones he redid in Minnesota) which was when: '75?

    Bob Dylan corner

    Someone posted on Spotify "The Complete, Chronological Bob Dylan" consisting of 1500+ tracks. Seems to be every track from every official release with Dylan. (And maybe some not so official-- is there an official Dylan cd entitled "Sidetracks"? Ooops I see that it does exist but was never released as a cd in the US except as part of a "complete" box set. However it is on Spotify.
  17. But did they offer vinegar? (To be honest I'm not sure it goes with poutine but you get it with french fries in Canada.)
  18. Jack Chambers' collection of Ellington essays "Sweet Thunder" has a good chapter on the stockpile. IRRC a few of the self financed sessions were released on major labels during EKE's lifetime.
  19. Thanks for this. Really helpful. BTW I've always wondered why writing "The Charleston" didn't bring Johnson fame and fortune. It's now a signifier of the era but perhaps not so much in its time. Or perhaps he and the song were more famous in his time than I think.

  21. Read about this and listened on Spotify. Liked it and wanted to buy the cd-- especially for the documentation. Went to Amazon which only offered downloads and ads for Amazon music. Went to the Naxos website which only offered Amazon as a way to buy a cd. Clicked there and finally got to an Amazon page that offered cd-- cheap ($10) but have to pay for shipping despite having Amazon+. Won't get it for a couple of weeks!. No wonder physical media is dying. BTW much maligned (by me) Spotify which gives almost no information about the music does tend to add interesting stuff after what you've chosen has finished. Now listening to some nice "folk operas" I've never heard before.
  22. I just watched The Small Back Room by Powell and Pressberger on The Criterion Channel. The film is set in 1943 and at one point they go to a club and hear The Ted Heath band. The music sounded to me as if the band was starting to be a bit bop influenced. Then I remembered that the film was made in 1948 so the music might be a bit anachronistic. Anyone else ever see this film and am I just underestimating the complexity of '40s swing bands?
  23. From Wikipedia: Davis proved, perhaps, to be the most pivotal instrumentalist during these sessions. "If you listen to the album, every tune is led by Richard and everybody followed Richard and Van's voice", says Merenstein. "I knew if I brought Richard in, he would put the bottom on to support what Van wanted to do vocally, or acoustically. Then you get Jay playing those beautiful counter-lines to Van."[22] Davis was not impressed by Morrison, not out of disdain or any preconceived notions, but rather because Morrison's professional comportment generally did not meet Davis's expectations. "No prep, no meeting", recalls Davis. "He was remote from us, 'cause he came in and went into a booth ... And that's where he stayed, isolated in a booth. I don't think he ever introduced himself to us, nor we to him ... And he seemed very shy".[18]
