The Getz estate wants to protect the image of Getz as a supreme jazz artist, ignoring his dark sides. Blaming another musician, and a great one as Roy Haynes, on the failure of a session, is unbearable, IMO.

October 27 Philip Catherine - 1942

Good reason! I like having his Muse stuff all together, too.

Farcical disaster? Count me in, I'll work for free🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄!!!!!

I'm so glad this is here, as NYU pulled this video from YouTube and is now unlisted. We can still access it because of the above link!

Me too (in principle), but I am not telegenic and would completely lack screen presence, propelling the film into farcical / disaster territory. 😁 I think O'Connor's performance has gotten positive reviews. Cinema / theatre stars have a certain presence not common in the general population.

Yeah, but I could have done that for half the money and none of the acting!

and a couple of discs from

Saw this new release Not really recommended, though it has a decent jazz score by Rob Mazurek. Billed as "moody", but IMO unfolds at a glacial pace, and the protagonist (who is onscreen almost the whole time) is a puzzling nondescript cipher who evokes no sympathy and I found of negligible interest. Josh O'Connor, who plays him, does a good job.

I finally got a bit more time with the new Silver. I like it a lot. Especially "Sayonara Blues"--Everyone is great there. . . but JOE. Wow.

Ah, man, I hope for many healing days to come, Gheorghe.

Rourke and Crum make the list! ***** ***** ***** *****

Not yet, it's a mess.

This has been for decades my best friend, my best consolation during dark times. Believe me, I had so much suffering from mid september until now, albeit I did a great recording session and get better musically every day I grow more, but it was just such a bizarre year with such an extreme mixture of tormented soul, suffering, tears, to the highest peaks of enjoyment and love, it made me very very thin but strong on piano. This music, the HEALING SONG is what I needed now that there is hope for a glimpse of "normal life" again, and it is what I needed, I listened closely to each note of this most wonderful music and it let my tears flow, and flow and flow, streams of tears, believe me !

$8 shipped U.S. each or both for $14

Is this the one, where Jackie McLean plays so fine on a Bossa, something he rarely did ? There was too many Hank Mobley Albums, I love him I love him I love him, but I don´t listen to ALL of his albums. Hank Mobley, especially "Soul Station" and "Workout" are my choices if I once listen to straight ahead jazz, which I don´t do very very often anymore, since I hear other things in my head, more into Free Jazz and jazzrock/funk, late 60´s - early 80´s .....

A lot of badness happening here right now, I got two tracks in and won't be listening to anything for a spell. Sound is good.

GREATNESS!!!!!!!!
