Recorded in November 1956.

I think so, and your hypothesis about how it was lost could also be correct. I only have that information, which should be correct.   I think so, and your hypothesis about how it was lost could also be correct. I only have that information, which should be correct.  

thats some music I like !   I don´t think I know it. I think once I saw a Pablo record of Benny Carter with "In a Mellow Tone" on it, very fine, but this seems to be another record. Anyway I like those lesser known Pablos, not all that Oscar Peterson stuff of which Norman was so fond of, no....more those he maybe didn´t get the same top billing though they the greatest, like Benny Carter, Like Eddie Lockjaw Davis (I only would have wished Jaw´s album had another pianist....)......

Thanks for sharing. It´s soooo great you wish it might never end !  I love them all and though I didn´t hear them in that component as being too young for that, but sure heard each of those men separatly.  At the start there is such a long pseudo analysis reading, I just can´t stand that kind of bla bla bla, reads like that corny JEB shit that was around in the 70, as someone who thinks he can explain everything.... No words needed for that music, its just great.  And I say KEIKKO,  Elvin´s wife was a great musician, I mean I really dig the stuff she composed. This "Childrens Merry Go Round" is outa sight, so great, simple as it is. I always wonder if she was a studied musician or a natural musician, I think the latter..!  Maybe I´m wrong but somehow I have the impression that she just does it from her heart and soul, and that´s the most natural thing. As kids might tell the truth and if you let em talk you can learn some lessons just from them... I never treated kids like kids..... my own not, others not.... And back to Keikko she HAS SOMETHING that´s so GREAT !!! With those simple little melodies.  And I tell you one thing: If it is true that she does it just out from feeling, not from schooling, I think I am the most lucky man on this planet since the wonderful girl I stay with she also has that quality....never learned to play a piano, never learned to read music, but what she does if she touches them keys is just magic, so simple and nevertheless you can´t imitate it, so great. She has the name of the Egyptian God of the Sun, and......watch out my next record, there´s a tune that´s based on one of her little spontanous ideas, what she figured out on the piano keys. I have played that piano all my life long but I think I LEARN from her more about music than the I had learned all my life 🤣 

Well ..you kinda can with this one, it's a bit of a mess...but not his fault. It's an entertaining mess anyway  . See the production notes here,: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Today_We_Live   Just finished with one of the films that is said to have caused the end of the Pre-Code period: Barbara Stanwyck fucks her way up the ladder and doesn't give a damn who she ruins in the process  Pre-Code like a mo, even if it does have a "happy" ending
