C.J. Box: The Crossroads

So you have PDFs of years of downbeat up to 1969???

Thanks.

I enjoy the narration but I agree it's not essential. The music is amazing.

short story collection

no one's interested in this incredible pianist? Come on folks.

I honestly think the narration is not particularly interesting or important. What is interesting and important is that Armstrong, in these performances, breaks out of the formulas he had gotten into as a matter of touring. They made him a star, but THIS made him an artist. yes, this has been released in a few formats. And any discography that is dismissive of this, one of Armstrong's great post-War efforts, ought to be tossed in the garbage, after being burned.

I personally have the three discs that Lon posted above on Jazz Unlimited. But I assume that the newer set is the same, maybe with better sound.

Charlie Byrd: Hollywood Byrd. Columbia CS-9452 [US 1967]

Like alot of sites - as soon as someone moves things - everything gets moved Here is what and how I found it again https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Down-Beat_copy(1).htm So...as today is March 15th (depends when you read this 🙂 ) https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/DownBeat/60s/62/Downbeat-1962-03-15.pdf Here is March 15th from 1962 and - oh boy this threw me when I read it on page 15 "THE ROAD CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM The jazz world was saddened by the sudden death of bassist Doug Watkins, killed in an automobile accident near Holbrook, Ariz., in the early morning hours of Feb. 5. Arizona Highway Patrolman Kenneth G. Hagin told Down Beat that Watkins, driving his own car, crossed the highway and rammed head on into an oncoming pickup truck. The bassist apparently had fallen asleep at the wheel. The-driver of the truck, Hagin said, was uninjured. Also unharmed were Watkins’ passengers—trumpeter Bill Hardman, 29; tenorist Roland Alexander, 26; and Fred Green, 28. The party was enroute to San Francisco where Watkins, Hardman, and Alexander were to join the new Philly Joe Jones group at the Jazz Workshop. Jones and pianist Elmo Hope had flown to San Francisco from New York. Watkins, a native of the jazz-rich Detroit area, was among a wave of young jazzmen from that city (including his cousin bassist Paul Chambers) who caused a flurry of excitement when they descended en masse on New York City in the mid-1950s. Prior to leaving Detroit, Watkins toured with the James Moody Band and worked with pianist Barry Harris. Coming to New York City in August, 1954, he played with trumpeter Kenny Dorham and worked briefly at Minton’s".... Thats my Sunday evening filled back with sadness
