Confirmed that the PBS app allows streaming of this documentary, along with the Max Roach American Masters doc. Watching the Roach now, and will probably rewatch the Sun Ra one later.

Joe Comfort!

What an incredible legacy he leaves behind. His name was second only to Alfred Lion when it comes to, "If his name is on it, it's gotta be good".

I'm sitting here listening to Willie Colon on Felipe Luciano's great show, Latin Roots. He plays the music of all the great Latin music artists, and dedicated his show to Willie Colon today. RIP

Isn't McCoy Tyner the only BN artist to ever have been listed as "Etc" on the front of a BN jacket? If not, should Norman Connors get the same listing? McCoy didn't ruin any BN date. Edit to add as a sideman for Joe Henderson, and no relation to Wayne's Etc album.

Thanks Dan, for bringing this to our attention. Just seeing his name in your post reminds me of so many great albums I bought throughout my life. His pairing of Sonny Criss and Tal Farlow on Prestigr was truly inspired, and Xanadu helped resurrect the career of Jimmy Raney. I had no idea that he also did the photography for so many great records, also! RIP

This doc is really, really good. I recorded this almost a week out and missed the King records doc afterwards.

An all-timer for me:

R.I.P.

I'd think in terms of slugging percentage. Or even OPS. Definitely WAR!!!

RIP to an artist who kept on keeping on.

One of my favorite Sinatra albums.

Sad news, but what a life and career! If producers had a career batting average, his would flirt with .400. (Heck, it might be north of .400.)
