brownie Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Looks like there won't be a 2008 Blue Note calendar... My choice could very well be the Classic Blues Artwork 1920s calendar. It looks like a winner (and a keeper!)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 There is a 2008 Calendar from this French outfit http://www.aquarupella.fr/ It's a BN calendar lookalike and goes under the name of 'The Giants of Jazz', a very good looking regular sized calendar with black/white photos by Francis Wolff. Dexter Gordon is on the cover. Sorry can't link any illustration. Neither Amazon.fr nor FNAC.com carry it so far! But it really looks good, just as good as the BN calendars that came out from Universe/Rizzoli! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonm Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 There is a little 7x7 calendar http://www.calendars.com/product.asp?IID=3...d=2491&CE=1 at most of the Barnes/Noble stores with Prestige record covers in it. Coltrane is on the cover....sells for about $7.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonm Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Also there are a couple Jim Flora calendars available....very limited...on ebay. Each have one Flora image with 12 tear off pages. All hand printed....pretty nice. There may only be 40 or so of these left....act now !!! I"m a big fan of Flora and have a few original things of his so I couldn't pass on these. Bought one for my home and one for my office. Jim Flora Art LLC is offering three hand-printed 2008 calendars: swingin' sax, boogie-beat drummer, and starlite moon. We have a limited number (30 each) to sell. That's it. It's not a numbered edition — 500 backing cards each were printed by Yee-Haw Industries (Knoxville), but due to scheduling demands, the production team could only finish a few hundred calendars for retail boutiques. JFA LLC received 30 sets for our customers. Sales are first-come, first-served. Each calendar costs $12.50 + s/h (see below). We accept checks and PayPal (info@JimFlora.com). The backing cards are letterpress printed on recycled stock, measuring 10" x 4-1/2". The attached calendar, with 12 pull-off pages, measures 3-1/4" x 4-1/2". The Jim Flora illustrations date from the mid-1950s. Those little flyspecks you see around the images are a natural byproduct of the hand-printing process.

brownie Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Couldn't find it on a French site. Here is a German one. There are several other German (or Swiss) sites that sell them. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
