Sportex.

Ann used many rolls of film on that date and one of the Columbia engineers (I think union rules required 4 men for this studio) tried calling his wife to bring in his video camera. Sadly he didn't reach her. It was an amazing project. We managed one session shot for the lp jacket but I didn't think (at the time) it would work in the small cd format. My mistake. This whole project took a year to complete and I hope some day the details are recorded somewhere.

Never had that happen. Must be you. If you don't find a fix, I suggest playing the file before burning to check it out. Sounds like a pain but it will save discs and wasted burn time. I think your machine is paying you back for all the Dennis DeYoung crap you feed it.

No mention of Rick Ballard's Groove Yard!

No radio today. I spent a large portion of the day loading the Nano with tunes for a long road trip beginning in the morning.

Ah, nostalgia. When will the big bands come back?

Nostalgia, that's the ticket.

I've had about 20 recordings of it. Now I have performances conducted by the composer, Boulez (Columbia), Monteux, Horenstein and Fricsay. This piece should "disturb" you. All of these do in different ways. It can be an interesting journey. I have been exploring for 45 years.

Correct.

Can't wait for the McCartney/Basie disc.

Newbury.

Nice suit. Nice glasses. Nice doo. What else is there?

I love InPort. It costs around $70 and sounds great.

The story I heard was he was really high and was jumping up and down on his bed. He fell off the bed and broke his neck.

Never heard a murder story. JR Monterose gave me a story involving drugs. No idea if that was correct but don't know he was killed.

Notes on my Dolphy are fine. Never heard of that problem.

Here come the elephants Gerald.

Is the Storyville the same as the Spotlite lp? Chuck, the answer is yes. In fact the booklet notes for the Storyville CD include the original notes that appeared on the Steeplechase LP. The CD also has some additional tracks that are untitled. They are a mystery. The tape marked "Faberge" was found in Ben's position. It is thought to be of early European vintage based upon Webster's tone. The rhythm section were not identified. SteepleChase is not Spotlite or Storyville. Good to hear more music was found in "Ben's position". Which position was that?

'cause 350 folks bought it on vinyl.

"Changed music history"? They changed the marketing and some aesthetic stuff, but.......... I have great respect for the label, Eicher's work and the music, but......................

Notice how much smaller Bob is compared to Zoot.

Is the Storyville the same as the Spotlite lp?

I want 3 of 'em but will probably wait to see what shows up on Yourmusic.
