Hi Mark, I think it was more like the last set would start at 1:30, but you are essentially correct. I think it depended on how full the house was. Much looser times!
The distributor is everything. I believe Warner Brothers is the distributor for ECM, and obviously they do a wonderful job for them. Other than that, each B&N music department manager, in each individual store, can order what they want.
Maxine is a great lady. When she was in the Jazz business as a manager and agent, she kept a lot of artists' professional lives together. Hearsay is just that!
I don't know her real well, but I have never heard a derogatory word.
My Son got me a 180 gram vinyl issue for Christmas. To all you the truth, I've never heard this one so I think I might shake the walls down tomorrow with this one.
Without telling tales out of school, I've been told that he chose his time and his way out and on his own terms, after suffering with ill heath for so long. Great musician and advocate for the music.
"Stratford" is a great recording in it's way. Some other stuff I can dig ( some great music on the Pablo Duet series) and this, especially when Dizzy takes the lead and the OP solo after. It is what it is...
Wow! That was the worst interview I've ever seen. Although I love the part when they gave him the plastic food! I miss the "before the comeback' Miles.
mjzee: I didn't know that! There's always something to learn. medjuck: I was curious, so I looked up his compositions at the BMI site to see if they included the release date (these days, you included the release date when you register the song as well of the title of the album), but that data in not included for anyone to see.
I took this photo of vocalist Kenny Washington from the "lovely" Green Room of Dizzy's Club Coca Cola looking out across Central Park and the East Side skyline in NYC a few years ago, with a crappy little camera.
