All of that is true. We can only speculate what is going on in Larry's situation right now. My comment was based on Larry's last words here, which indicated that he & others felt that he was not that far gone to dementia. I think it's safe to say that at this point, we'll likely never know one way or the other.

Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

Good points. That sounds like fraud. Spotify and youtube are a mixed blessing but I suspect they are still a blessing to the artist, because the services make their music available to the general public. If you want to check somebody out used to be you had to listen to the radio till their songs came up. Now you can go find works by the artist, listen, and if you like it, buy the album. True, millions of people are putting stuff up on youtube so it's harder to stand out than it once was. It's a different world and this is a pretty big part of how music is distributed nowadays.

If you’re an artist and fake music supposedly by you is streaming, you have a right to be pissed off. The other thing is that these fake tracks are being programmed by bots to be played repeatedly in order to increase their share of the overall royalty pool.

Very cool indeed. Randy Weston has not been well-represented in the 1980s. The Brooklyn Academy disc is interesting for having such a large band--a fairly rare thing for Weston.

I saw this being played on another board and realized I had it somewhere and hadn’t listened in a long time. I felt a little of the exciting promise of this ensemble at that time. Nice! “Jazz Futures Live in Concert” Novus cd

I suggested this and a Carlos Garnett Select to Michael Cuscuna and if I recall correctly, he said they wouldn't sell.

They actually had four albums. Their first, 'Neptune', came out on Cobblestone, then 'In My Youth', 'Rebirth', and 'Motherland' followed on Muse after Cobblestone reverted to Muse. I agree that 'Rebirth' is the pick, but all are good albums, and only 'In My Youth' saw CD issue. These albums would have made a nice Mosaic Select back in the day.

Jazz Dispensary with another good pick.

Hard to remember that these late ones are the same Sonny Stitt as was recording on Prestige back in the early 50's

I have a few of these (including some of the samplers) My favourite was the always the Roswell Presents which (at that time) had cd tracks that for me were then impossible to find. Now have them but still like to spin it as a treat now and again.

Whereas my mother's dementia meant that not only was she unable to use the phone for the last two years of her life but that she was also scared and intimidated by it. I therefore stopped trying to speak with her on the phone as it was far too upsetting for her. I also worked with people with dementia who no longer had any concept of time of day. They would telephone people at any and all times be that 3.00pm or 3.00am. Everyone's experience of dementia is very individual. There are reasons why restricting access to a telephone is maybe not as cruel as it may sound without knowing the full context.
