Judging from the cast, it must have been! But I stopped watching TV in 2010 and never saw any of the series.

INGO Two (Italy) - Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet live at Basin Street April 1956 -

Ella Fitzgerald “Day Dreams: The Best of the Duke Ellington Songbook” Verve cd The full (and the expanded) set is of course wonderful, but this is a very nice compilation compiling fine tracks.

Shitt's Creek was repeatedly on point too

Capri #74021-2- Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra "Groove Shop" - rec. 1990 - Engineer: Hank Cicalo

Yeah, they were good. Especially for a young budding musician with low budget. I got all their Mingus albums, the Roach album, and I think the "Fabulous Paul Bley Quintet" with Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry was also on it. Starting with Jazz in early teens I was quickly "hooked" by the stuff that went beyond be- and hardbop, all those incredible Impulse albums of Trane, Pharoah, Ornette, Albert Ayler.....the music I love most. And it had started with hearing Dolphy on the 3-LP America label issue of "The Great Concert of Charles Mingus". Hearing what Dolphy did at a very early age opened my mind and my imagination !

I just logged into the forum to start a thread. Thanks for getting one going. RIP. Sad loss, sorely missed indeed. I've gotten out of touch with popular culture, but I loved the old SCTV shows, which is how I got familiar with her. Plus more recently the "mockumentary" films Best In Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind.

If someone is considering a concert and/or recording, would you have some points of contact for publishing? Thanks.

A duo of Jobim recordings. Both from Universal Japan on SHM-CD. First “Jobim” (aka “Matita Perê” in the Brazilian edition) 301×282 51.7 KB 400×400 29.4 KB Followed by “Passarim” I will never tire of listening to these.

OK, nothing special.

Me too. I'd like a handful of more volumes from throughout the Columbia period.

I'd still like a Bootleg Series release from the so_called Electric Jungle period.

Max on fire!!!

I have the America pressing also. America/Musidisc reissued several Debut and Fantasy titles in France, in addition to a bunch of new recordings from Shepp, the AEC, Dave Burrell, Frank Wright, Alan Shorter... excellent series.

+1. I have so many of those great Kent anthology CD's on my shelves, and they now put out maybe 1-2 discs a year that is of interest to me. May be that the market is pretty dried up for that sort of release.

We never see these amounts of snow in the Netherlands. We also got the tempering influence of the warmer North Sea. Though I’m not looking for extremes like these, I really miss some more winter like weather here sometimes. The winter mostly feels like an extended autumn most of the times with boring grey rainy days.

Just to let folks know that OtoRoku downloads are also available directly from Cafe Oto and generally at lower cost as you're not paying Bandcamp 15%. https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/kan-mikami-john-edwards-alex-nielson-live-cafe-oto/

When I saw their monthly email this morning I totally thought of you. On a related note, outside of the topic at hand: I really have to unsubscribe from Ace Records. Its probably 3 years now since they released a new blues or R&B comp. Like, at all. Ace Records that doesn't issue new/old music in those genres is enormously disappointing to me.

As a record fan it would be nice to have affordable vinyl reissues of some of the posthumous Impulse albums - Stellar Regions, Living Space, Olatunji, Offering etc. Though I appreciate these may not be strong commercial propositions and not a good starting point if labels are hoping to attract new listeners.

I grew up in Massachusetts & lived most of my life up in New England. This is far from the worst storm I've cleaned up after. In fact, I doubt it would even crack the top 20. Funny thing is, we moved up to Maine near the water to get away from storms like this. This snow was an outlier. We've been here 9 years and never really had a snow storm that dumped anything over a foot. The ocean water temps have generally protected us from this. There have been storms where we've had a slushy mix while 5 miles inland got a foot. This storm was a fluke in that it dumped a bunch of snow because it was over the ocean - a very unusual occurrence.

John Plonsky Quintet with Betty Ann Blake - Cool Man Cool

Here's me hoping Ravi has a suprise for us....
