Joy Road is a discography. with some very few biographical notes and interviews.

Thanks.

Thanks. I didn't know that. IMAX is 65 mm (70 mm when you add a soundtrack) run sideways. (BTW VistaVision was 35mm film run sideways.) I used to have a frame of an IMAX film to hand around to my students. It was the size of a small post card.

Something to Live For and I Let a Song... were the only 2 tracks on a bonus cd that came with the Ellington album so I can understand missing them. My box set is called "40 Years" and only has 87 tracks but 3 of them are from the Fantasy Bill Evans record.

The box set I have is far from complete. Mainly Columbia material but does have some Bill Evans material. The box set I have is far from complete. Mainly Columbia material but does have some Bill Evans material.

I'm old enough to remember when his version of Cold, Cold Heart was on the hit parade and that sort of turned me off him. And I got tired of I Left My Heart very fast. Then I didn't like it when he curled his hair. But after I heard him sing Lost in the Stars with the Count Basie band I realized how shallow I'd been. Saw him at Disney Hall shortly after it opened. A great concert. Heard an interview with him aimed at a general audience where he mainly talked about jazz bands and jazz musicians. He was very knowledgeable. Columbia did a nice box set which included some of his work with Bill Evans.

Sometimes Mosaic can supply a booklet for out of print sets.

Unless they've recently changed the process you ask for a return, they send you a reply and you can then take it to any UPS store or Whole Foods with no packaging and drop it off. (Of course UPS may soon be on strike.)

What's a "stamp on the back"?

IIRC his first appearance on record is as a piano player with Zoot Sims/Al Cohen. Just remembered that as well as seeing him at Ronnie Scott's in 1964 I saw him open for Van Morrison. (Been dipping into Jann Wenner's rather self-contgratulatory autobiography and I think the only thing that impressed me was that he and his prep school friends skipped their graduation to see Mose at the Troubadour in 1963.)

They seem to have left out sessions from The Okeh Ellington that were made under names other than The Washingtonians or Duke Ellington. (Though one listed as by the The Harlem Footwarmers is included and another one not so there goes that theory.)

Are you trying to drive people away?

Lumet was 82 when he made this movie! Feels like an independent film buy a young rebel.

I can't find the original announcement online but I've read references to Sony releasing every take of every Ellington recording they control (including the RCAs) to streaming services with a new volume each month. The first one ("Ellington in Order, vol.1") is already up. Anyone here have more or better information?

I remember being very impressed by PJ Perry some 60 years ago in Montreal.

All good questions to which I have no answers but congratulations on the find. I have 5 Claxton books plus his 1993 calendar but I've never even seen a copy of Jazz West Coast. (BTW I would consult with a rare book store about how to repair/store the book.)

IIRC I saw them at that same venue a few years ago on a double bill with Chico Freeman.

What was the fist "New Directions in Music" Lp?

Was the Bill Dixon one "Imagine the Sound"?

He worked at the British Film Institute but was so discouraged with them that he gave his research to an American archive. (IIRC: Library of Congress.)

Just learned from friends that David Meeker, author of Jazz on Film has died. As one friend noted his death may not get much attention with Bill Lee and Tina Turner dying near the same time. (He once gave me a signed copy of Max Kaminsky's autobiography.)

First heard her in Toronto before she'd made a record. In fact the only time I met her was the night a copy of her first Lp was delivered to her at The Riverboat.

I'm one of those many people who thought she'd gone too far when this was new. Now it seems really good.

IIRC they were both in the SNL band at the same time.

I agree and I feel the same way about Los Lobos.
