Larry Kart Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 $68.05. Not bad for a book that was published in 2004. And I think that may be more than it earned in many previous years. My thanks to Yale for keeping it in print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a closet full of them. I should sell them on Amazon for $1.99 a throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading a Mose Allison interview in which he said he received a negative royalty for the quarter. He said that no one bought any of his records, and two people brought back their albums and demanded their money back! 7 hours ago, Teasing the Korean said: That's awesome!

BillF Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Fan: I really liked your album! Jazz musician: Ah, so you're the one who bought it! Can't remember which musician I heard that one from. Edited April 4, 2022 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got that earmarked for Jim and the board. 10 hours ago, GA Russell said: Larry, does that mean that you enjoyed new cash-paying customers last year? Apparently so. Some years ago I bought a carton of 30 or so remaindered copies from the Jazz Record Mart, which at the time was stocking up on remaindered jazz books from some clearing house. Over the years I gave all but two of them away to interested parties. BTW I love the image on the cover. It's a circa 1957 photo of Ira Sullivan (on tenor), Johnny Griffin, and bassist Nevin Wilson. Don't think it's from a Monday night session at the Gate of Horn, but the vantage point is from that of a front row seat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 it is one of the best collections ever of jazz writing. University Presses are notorious for not paying a lot. Though it's not the way everyone wants to do it, the smartest thing I ever did was to publish Turn Me Loose White Man myself. After the WSJ article I made a lot of money on the project (including the CDs). Paid my property tax for at least two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
