  1. Condolences.
  2. Dick Hyman, a name at odds with itself.
  3. Not really. "I meant what I said and I said what I meant". Edit to add; Lester understood and appreciated many factors of Armstrong. I just realized it is too late at night to explain, so remind me later.
  4. I believe to really "get" Lester you need to understand his first (and maybe only) hero was Louis Armstrong.
  5. Time traveling again
  6. That's ok by me. The Bruynincks jazz discography's 928 pages of artists under "A" does not mention him.
  7. Now listening to an old friend.
  8. As I understand it, Nesuhi Ertegun was working for Contemporary / Good Time Jazz in the early '50s and moved to NYC in '55 to join his brother at Atlantic. When Ornette ventured East, Lester Koenig suggested he hook up with Nesuhi.
  9. Great recordings. I first had them on lp, then individual cds and currently purchased new for $109.81 back in the day.
  10. I ordered a disc from an Amazon vendor 2 days ago. The label was created Monday in Niagara Falls, NY. I live about 20 miles away, in Buffalo. Tracking says my order departed Pittsburgh, PA this morning.
  11. I bought a Euro PD set called Archie Shepp Early Albums Collection because on the front it says "Includes the complete works of the New York Contemporary Five". As you can see from my review on Amazon, this is BS. I returned it.
  12. Straight North of Ames - Story City. My mother-in-law went to school in Stanhope and her mother lived in Boone. Didn't know any Crims but did know some Krumms.
