Wonder if these are the same tracks I listened to at the Harlem Jazz Museum back in 2006 - I particularly searched for Lester & Charlie material on their computer (and most of it was with the Benny Goodman band/small groups)

That's a very cute, romantic story; Yes, the Jazzland record is live material from 1948. The notes do not actually say where it was recorded. By the 1970s, when the "twofers" were appearing, Fantasy owned the catalogs of both Riverside/Jaazzland and Milestone, among others

Solo Monk is part of this set; the other cuts are solo piano from all of his other Columbia albums. There was a single sample disk, similar to Miles' Plugged Nickel:

The Beast In Me - Netflix

I also have this but have not listened to it lately. It seemed to me that´s a sampler of some remainders, I have heard that some of the stuff was on a sampler album titled "The Jazz Scene", at least that´s what an older musician (Allan Praskin) told me. The 1949 combo sessions, well somehow they sound half hearted. It´s the same group that shortly afterwards went to Paris for the first time (with Dorham, Haig, Potter and Roach), and what they played there is exiting. On the studio date nobody knows what was the reason to add Tommy Turk. Tommy Turk was a great technician on the trombone, but in general I miss the "message". The session with the vocals is fun, I like it "In The Still of the Night" and so on...... Since "My Ideal" is the "torch song" of me and the wonderful young Andreea Irina, who is my love since I noticed her when I had a gig in town and for coincidence we did "My Ideal" as a ballad feature, and SHE was in the audience, I spotted her, the most beautiful girl I ever seen, and you know the lyrics...."or will a pass her by and never even know that she´s my ideal"..... and after the first set I went straight to her and said "you see, I didn´t pass by, I recognize you, you are my ideal" and that it was. When I spinned this for her, sure he loved the voice of Earl Coleman, but she really soaked up Sonny Rollins´ solo. So deep that girl, so much music, I mean stunning beauty, youth, and in combination with outstanding musicality. My Ideal remains our torch song..... is the Tadd Dameron thing the live sessions in the Roost ? I have it, it´s great. But I also have an old Musidisc LP which has two features of Kenny Haggood doin´ "Pennies from Heaven" very slow, and "The Kitchenette Across the Hall" which I never could find as a standard, it has nice lyrics about a guy who falls in love with a girl that lives in the "Kitchenette Across the Hall". Maybe the tune and the lyrics is Tadd Dameron ? I think I have the double LP "Tadd Dameron Band 1948" on the Milestone label, which is strange, since Milestone for me was a label of the 70´s with artists like Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson, former Blue Note Artists.....

👍👍

I like all kinds of modern art, that´s why I love to visit art galleries and by the way, you meet important persons. Here with Leo K., a good writer about culture, arts and music, it´s me bending down just to listen in deep concentration what he says me about me presenting my upcoming album in that location, we two brainstorming, me listening hard since.....you know hearing after decades of live music is a challenge 🤣 At the same art gallery, with famous writer Leo K., I was a bit scared I have just a spent look on this, but dig....it sometimes takes days until I find some sleep..... but the mind was bright ! Landed a place to prezent my new album and also landed a gig at another place, you just close circles where you can....

I have listened to this also recently I don´t know this one, but I have one that´s called Solo Monk, the one with "Dinah" on it. I like to play "Dinah" too sometimes just for my own fun and the audience´s fun if I start a set or do a last encore without the other boys..... Anyway, about Monk: Just a few days ago I had a control visit for my bipolar disorder and the psych doc said I might slow down and I told him if I have that "trips" that go for some days with no sleep, it´s where I create music" and when he didn´t understand it, I told him to check everything he can find about Monk, maybe he will understand what I´m talkin bout and why I don´t want to "slow down" !

More EKE: Disc 14

WHOA. I'm in.

Disc 1 Terrific!

The Treasury Department had a number of different war bond radio shows, like Treasury Star, Music for Millions, and such.

Thanks for the tip. Preordered!

Thanks. That's very helpful... Was Ellington the only one who did the Treasury Shows? I have all of those volumes and really like them.

The Goodman estate has kept some very important broadcasts from being released including some with Charlie Christian and Lester Young (not together) from the Savory Collection. I wrote their lawyers an e-mail and actually got a response. They're just being jerks . As I mentioned in my e-mail to them, they're even leaving money on the table in that- deservedly or not- Goodman's name is listed as composer on many of the compositions and jams so the estate would be paid for any broadcasts or streams of the material.

Negative Press Project Delivers Its Most Accomplished Album Yet with "Cycles I," Set for Release January 30 On Envelopmental Music Album Features 12 Original Compositions Played by the Northern California Octet In Collaboration with Innovative String Ensemble Friction Quartet   November 24, 2025 Negative Press Project reaches new heights of ambition with Cycles I, their fifth album, arriving January 30 via Envelopmental Music. Though scattered to the four winds, the San Francisco Bay–founded chamber jazz octet came back together to realize 12 compositions by pianist Ruthie Dineen and bassist Andrew Lion—and joined forces with the world-renowned cutting-edge string ensemble Friction Quartet (violinists Otis Harriel and Kevin Rogers, violist Stephanie Bibbo, and cellist Doug Machiz). The result is a stunning coalescence of post-bop jazz and postmodern classical music, both simultaneously at their most adventurous and most accessible. Accessibility shouldn’t be taken to mean lack of complexity. Cycles I is especially complex in terms of the emotional landscape it evokes and explores. Dineen and Lion began creating these pieces during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they reflect the complicated, unsettled era and world in which the composers found themselves. “Even going through the writing process, we were living the experiences, the massive cultural collective experience, that we were writing about,” Lion says. Ruthie Dineen & Andrew Lion The album’s recording was concluded in 2022; in the time since, our era and world only become more complicated and unsettled. This makes the music all the more relevant and urgent. We can feel this in, for instance, the tension-fraught interplay with which Friction begin Lion’s album-opening “Shoten Zenjin (Morning Arrives for Aya)” before Dineen and saxophonists Chris Sullivan, Lyle Link, and Tony Peebles provide sweet but hard-earned release. Beginning with Schwartz's drum passage, Dineen's "Aelorean" drives the program forward with precise momentum, punctuated by Peebles's coruscating tenor solo and well-timed response from Friction Quartet's strings. Conceived on October 21, 2015, the very date the DeLorean jumps to in the hit film Back to the Future, its title is a play on the tune's Aeolian-mode foundation. It continues in the prodding pulse of Lion’s “Waltz in Progress,” with the bassist’s ever-so-slight lag behind drummer Isaac Schwartz’s ride cymbal beat reminding us of the cautious hesitation that’s become a feature of our everyday lives; in the troubled yet hopeful dissonances that horns (saxes plus trumpeter Rafa Postel) and strings share in Lion’s “Libre”; and in the undaunted fatigue guitarist Luis Salcedo channels into his gorgeous solo on Dineen’s “Miles to Go.” Cycles I finds its apex in the pianist’s “Hold and Keep This Flower,” which includes a haunting prelude for Friction Quartet before opening onto a delicate soprano saxophone recitation from Link. He is soon joined by Peebles, Sullivan, and Postel in a quartet movement, then acts as featured soloist against sensitive ensemble accompaniment (including the strings). Special guests Ivan Arteaga (clarinet), Patrick Malabuyo (trombone), and Ami Molinelli (percussion) also make their voices heard across Cycles I, adding yet deeper and more ambitious layers of texture and collaborative music-making to the work. “That’s my favorite thing in the world, pulling people together who are serious to create group identity,” Dineen says. “There are many voices, but we all come together to tell one story.” L. to r.: Luis Salcedo, g; Lyle Link, ss/as/ts; Andrew Lion, b; Rafa Postel, tpt; Ruthie Dineen, p/key; Chris Sullivan, as; Tony Peebles, ts; Isaac Schwartz, d. Negative Press Project is an eight-piece ensemble sprung from the meeting of minds of two Northern California natives and California Jazz Conservatory (CJC) graduates, bassist-composer Andrew Lion and pianist-composer Ruthie Dineen. Lion, born June 29, 1970 in Oakland, was raised on the rock and pop records in his parents’ collection—but also found his way to jazz via the fusion stylings of the Pat Metheny Group. As a professional electric and upright bass player (after flirtations with piano and guitar in his youth), Lion has worked in all of those milieus. He is a founding member of the rock band Spoke, is a contributor to the category-defying pop band Oona and the pop-rock singer-songwriter/ guitarist Jeff Campbell, and has toured with Brazilian jazz multi-instrumentalist Marcos Silva. He currently resides in Bend, Oregon. Dineen was born September 7, 1982, into a Salvadoran-American family in Fairfield, California. She discovered music at an early age, and studied classical and jazz piano through her adolescence and into her undergraduate studies at the University of California at Berkeley. She also spent time studying abroad in Chile and living in Costa Rica, where she deepened her musical knowledge and appreciation. Back Stateside, Dineen earned a master’s degree in social work and a bachelor’s from CJC and began working as a music teacher for community engagement. She began working in 2011 for the East Bay Center for Performing Arts in Richmond, California, where she now serves as executive director. She also works with the bands Bululú, the D/L Sextet, and RDL+. Lion and Dineen cofounded NPP in 2013 as a sextet. Two years later they recorded their debut album seeevileyes/civilize. Their follow-up, 2017’s Eternal Life | Jeff Buckley Songs and Sounds, was also their breakthrough recording. The band expanded to an octet for 2019’s withIN, 2023’s The Victorious Sessions, and Cycles I, their fifth release. Cycles II is already a work in progress. Negative Press Project has booked an Oregon tour for June, taking in Salem (Christo’s, Thurs. 6/11), Eugene (The Jazz Station, Fri. 6/12), and Bend (Commonwealth Pub, Wed. 6/17).
