I have tickets to see him in April so he's still performing.

My apologies for forgetting. I was a bit overwhelmed at that conference.
But then I met Mile '65 again at the Paris Ellington conference.

A favourite, always great to be able to see them in the flesh
Some were so small you could barely see them. The museum offered magnifying glasses which were useful for the Songs of Innocence and Experience.

I think because this was under "Announcements" no one could respond. Larry posted:
"I'm back after a six months unfairly enforced absence in an assisted care living facility. Maybe I'll tell you the whole story after enough time has passed, but it's a strange one."
Welcome back, Larry.

I think I saw Sonny Rollins in every decade from the '60s through when he retired. IIRC The first time I saw him he had Grant Green on guitar and I thought he was suffering from too much a Coltrane influence. The next time I saw him was with a pick-up group in Toronto in late'60s or early '70s and he blew me away (though the concert got a bad review in Coda).
Saw him often with the trombone-guitar group and enjoyed every concert.
However the records I enjoy the most are the ones with Don Cherry.

There are examples of pop tunes being cut from DVDs, because the original contracts specified videotape, and did not take into account future formats such as DVDs and streaming. It is unusual, though, to have the score cut. This also happened with Pete Rugolo's music for "The Fugitive" on the first DVD release of the series.
Wow they had a bad lawyer. However there were many films that didn't clear music rights for home video because home video barely existed (if it existed at all) at the time the film was made. Frank Zappa held up the home video release of MediumCool for many years because of a song that was barely heard in the film.
Later contracts bought music rights for "any future medium throughout the universe". (I'm paraphrasing-- can't remember the exact wording. )

I was fortunate to see him 4 times: Paris around 1978 in an old church, twice at Sweet Basil and opening for Miles at the Hollywood Bowl (no they didn't play together).

The new reissues including Svengali, are now up on Rhino’s website:
Thanks so much. It's still not on Amazon so I'm probably paying a premium by buying it from Rhino ($7.99 shipping!) but at my age I'd better not put anything off. Hope it reminds me of the time I saw the band at Sweet Basil and the stand was so full that Hiram Bullock sat at our table while he played.

American Fiction
What did you think of it?

I just read that Spotify is now using AI to create playlists. From the article I read, I inferred (perhaps incorrectly) that until now they've employed humans.

Anyone have any idea how many were in the first pressing?

A sweetly beguiling Elmer Bernstein score:
I never noticed that. I'd better watch the film.

So with the Louis Armstrong House being there (Corona) is Queens the "jazz trumpet corner of the world"?

For The Holdovers?
I did notice that Fallen Leaves uses a couple of very short clips from Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die.
Yes The Holdovers. In the front credits there's a copyright for CMCLXXI. (The actual copyright notice is in the end credits.)

Just saw Aki Kaurismäki's Fallen Leaves. On the whole I liked it, aside from the playing of alcoholism for laughs in a certain sense, plus the main character just deciding to stop drinking overnight and succeeding. I suppose this may happen in a very, very few cases, but this part of the plot didn't ring true for other reasons.
I am likely to try to catch The Holdovers tomorrow. This is basically gone from the main theatres but is kicking around a few second-run theatres in Toronto.
Check the copyright notice in the credits at the beginning.

Ok, that does it. After decades of getting by with some Decca LPs and other sorts of partial gap-fillers, I finally went ahead and got this. Wanting to hear more of the early Braud/Greer hookup and this seems like this is gonna be it for this subset of same.
It's a gotta have set and (I think) not duplicated by the RCA or Mosaic sets.

No LPs, no CDs, no Spotify (does that still exist?). Nope, from this computer, I can access the couple-dozen MP3 files I own. Organissimo Christmas music and downloads of albums "bought" (?) through Kickstartr.
Do you mean that all of Malaysia is off the grid or just where you are? ( I ask because my son-in-law's parents have moved to an island off Malaysia and even they have internet-- though I don't know about Spotify.

"Erasure" by Percival Everett, the source for the film "American Fiction". The protagonist is named Thelonious Ellison but his nickname is Monk. I like that this is not explained in either the book or the movie.

And how to submit it.

The Spector "Back to Mono" box set is terrific but everything seems a bit compressed to me. I'd love a well mixed stereo version of The Wall of Sound. Did he do any stereo releases or was he always mixing for mono car radios? BTW In the book about The Wrecking Crew there are some funny stories about Phil and Barney Kessel.

I've no problem with mono. If a session was originally recorded in mono, I'd rather hear it that way than in fake stereo.
I don't think anyone likes fake stereo, but I usually don't mind issues where they've gone back to the original tracks and done a stereo mix like the one for Pet Sounds. (Of course if they screw it up that's another matter.)
-
Not my experience. Everyone I knew had a cheap stereo by 1965. I remember being at parties where you could dance to either the Beatles vocals or their instruments depending on which side of the room you danced.

Where I grew up we didn't have poutine but we did have chips with gravy. and that's what we always ordered.

I've seen it twice and between viewings read the book on which it's based. The book is great but I think the changes made for the film were necessary for it to work as well as it did in that medium.
