This is the cover of the upcoming Hal Russell NRG Ensemble + Charles Tyler disc. This issue contains the balance of the "audition tape" included on our last NRG issue.

He might be wary of Gayles from any direction.

Great list of Cecils. I got excited and started ordering before I understood I had them already!!

What Jim said. In the late '30s Commodore and H.R.S. issued the larger size as well. Earlier, Irving Mills had convinced Victor and Brunswick to use the larger disc for Ellington.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that!!

The idea gives me the creeps.

Nice.

Silly game built to generate "hits" on Yahoo. They won and nothing else was accomplished.

I can only make one venture to the city this year and am currently torn between this and the Evan Parker performances in September.

Back in the day my mother gave me a full sheet of this Ellington stamp. I still have it.

I might be able to make it. Thanks.

I bought the Audio Technica AT-LP120-USB table a few months ago and am a happy camper. I did add a Shure cartridge so I could play my 78s.

Hendersonia is fantastic.

When we recorded Warne's "All Music" Lou Levy gave me the publishing rights to "Lunarcy" and Warne offered a couple of tunes we recorded. I had no publishing company and had never dealt with this aspect of the business but accepted. After the "Apogee" sessions, Lou asked for the tune back and I agreed - and then it wasn't included on the original record. Too bad for Lou. Warne told me of drugs all over the place at the studio and after the session the players were given cassettes. They were all used to reel to reel tapes so the producers ordered Nakamichis for the band.

I am waiting for the Charlie Patton stamp.

About half way thru the first season of "The Americans" in a race to get to the "on demand" versions of the second season before they disappear.

I love this stuff.

Yup.

The destruction of the tapes is not unusual. EMI dumped a bunch of 78 masters once they were transferred to tape in the '50s. I also know of at least one label from my era that dumped tapes after the first digital transfer, and worse dumped tapes deemed "degraded" and not able to transfer to digital. When I told the label owner of the way to reclaim the tapes he said "shit".

and he even bows to the audience after a performance.

I remember sometime in the late '70s in conversation with Michael Cuscuna he mentioned Glen Moore and I said I didn't know who he was. He laughed and said "that's what I love about you".

Yes, and the RVG edition added an alternate of Gone With the Wind.
