Thx. I do have 'Dreams and Explorations' and 'Metamorphosis'. Thx!

Here’s an article about the 1944 Burley handbook of jive. I have a paperback reprint that includes it and Burley’s 1959 book Diggeth Thou?: Dan Burley’s Jive I have a friend here in town, also a Burley fan, who happened upon one of the original Calloway jive volumes that were sold at Cab’s shows in the 1940s. It was a flea-market score iirc.

Now spinning: Dave Holland Quintet - Seeds of Time (ECM, 1985) with Steve Coleman, Kenny Wheeler, Julian Priester, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith Here's a YT link:

Never seen this one before...

truly extraordinary album! all three Friedman/Zoller dates are classics.

At least 2 NBA games canceled because of weather.

Eliane Elias “Quietude” Candid cd

Sante Palumbo: Jazz Alive In The Gallery. Si SI 001/2 [Italy 1975] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galleria_Vittorio_Emanuele_II

Yes, I'm aware. But he did not have anywhere near as big a role in "Straight No Chaser" than in "Bird," that was the only point I was trying to make. Right now This disc is too short, because it’s so wonderful and should be so much longer! Mario Adnet “Para Gershwin e Jobim”

And reissued on CD ( for the first time?) recently: https://www.discogs.com/release/35411020-Attila-Zoller-Masahiko-Sato-A-Path-Through-Haze

Here's a YT upload, if you'd like to give it a listen:

👍

Was not familiar with 'The Horizon Beyond', but it looks great!

👍- as CD on my shelf ...

Also, someone should reissue it! NP: Kenny Burrell - Live at the Village Vanguard (Muse, 1980) with Sherman Ferguson and Larry Gales

Attila Zoller - Memories of Pannonia (Enja, 1986) with Michael Formanek and Daniel Humair Terrific.

I just ordered Dream Bells from philadelphiamusic on Discogs -- along with Zoller's The Horizon Beyond. 🙂

I was listening to Zoller's 'Dream Bells' album yesterday. The first side of that one is awesome.

On Sat. I saw a late Naruse film called Daughters, Wives and a Mother, which I thought was very interesting. Today I managed to get out (between shifts of shovelling snow) and saw One Battle After Another. I didn't care for this at all, for multiple reasons, which I'd rather not get into now. Assuming the city is moving and not shut down, I'm planning on seeing Belle du Jour on Tues. TIFF is hosting a Bunuel retrospective, in Jan/Feb, though this screening isn't part of it. I'll see about getting to a few of them, but TIFF actually makes it quite hard for non-members to get tickets to the classics. And planning seeing Galaxy Quest on Wed, which will be fun!

As an aside, I always thought "youse" or "yous" was a Philly thing, based on my regular visits and living in the area between 2008-2023 (and still visiting regularly). Is it a upstate/non-NYC thing as well, and I simply never heard it up there?
