Just acquired this gem from Dusty Groove.

I miss the days when Fantasy owned the OC catalog and I took great advantage of the $5 per CD media price, including boxed sets. I still missed a few before Concord Jazz bought Fantasy and proceeded to delete what seemed to be 80% of the OJC catalog.

I'm in the middle of the 8th Will Trent book, The Kept Woman, from author Karin Slaughter. I am enjoying these books & can recommend them for fans of crime novels. It's a head-scratcher why the show is so different. One of the main characters in the show, Angie Polaski, is a horrible person in the books. One of the books is all about the history of Will's boss Amanda, whose father was a sheriff and a member of the KKK. In the show, Amanda is a black woman. I guess the show will never do an episode about Amanda's father. 🤔

Ts find, oh yeah

March 14 Vanessa Rubin - 1957

Yes. She's done both. BTW, she was the last performance I saw before COVID hit. I remember it well.

Thanks for hipping me, I will check it out 😎

Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, as heard in this set:

As noted above, last month I read The Count of 9. The detective in that one said that you should start with the last person to see the victim alive. I thought of that with eight chapters to go in this one, and I guessed right! As I was reading this, I couldn't help but think that Myrna Loy was the perfect choice for the movie. (I also thought that Sidney Greenstreet was the perfect choice for the film of another Hammett story, The Maltese Falcon.) PS - I believe that this was the first mystery story to include comic elements.

I believe I saw her five times; each time being strikingly different: 1. With Chico Freeman, Andrew Cyrille and Richard Davis. 2. A piano trio but with a tap dancer added. 3. As the pianist in a group led by Wallace Roney (also with James Spaulding). 4. Trio with David Murray and Terri Lynne Carrington. 4. The last time, about a year before she died, at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, in a two piano band (with Christian Sands), also including Russell Malone on guitar, for an Errol Garner tribute. George Wein was also in the audience.

This late afternoon:

Thank you both!

Karl Burger -- Vibes Summit

Yes, excellent big band music from the early 80s (Hodeir and Monk compositions), with musicians such as Guerin, Chautemps, Di Donato, Ceccarelli among others (very much enjoyed the trombones and need to look into them too, and Solal of course).

Thanks! It seems it may have been Spring 1969 rather than summer.
