Nine pages of this if you copy and paste to Word.

If Larry Kart is still here, he will have a few pages to type about this record.

Earl Hines "Quintessential Recording Session" on Halcyon 101/Chiaroscuro 101. This should be on cd. Earl at the top of his game in 1970, revisiting his 1928 milestones. It don't get much better.

I probably have that interview somewhere in the basement but want to recommend/warn about the amazing Bowie interview in the AEC book sold on their website. If you knew Lester you would read the piece very differently than a "newbie" would interpret it. For me, Lester's interview repays the cost of the book.

Looks like my modest little catalog did pretty well. Thanks. edit to change from mosest to modest. Bad fingers.

Spending some buck on a discography would answer your question.

So, what did you do with John's money? Is it gone? Will you ever satisfy his desires?

Is this website error a human disaster? What about Pakistan, the "south coast" hurricanes, wildfires in the west, global warming, terrorist attacks in the Russian south, Paris Hilton cancelled!

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but to push Gravatt, before Weather Report he worked/toured with McCoy. I heard him a few times in this context and he was a MF!

I'll never forget..... more than you can imagine. Like watching the last episode of "The Fugitive" with him and Roscoe in our living room. Like interrupting a recording session to tell him Fontella had given him a new baby. Like driving his emerald green, vintage Bentley on Michigan Avenue, with him screaming "run over the motherfuckers" at stop lights. Like the time he called to ask me to send a copy of "People In Sorrow" to Bill Cosby after his son was killed. I have not even mentioned the musical delights.

The world's a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes. ← My favorite line of all time!

For me it is Rod Cless, Dave Pochonet, Louis Smith, Joe Cocker and Cher! Others of note are Ron Reagan, Danny Aiello and George Gobel (bless his heart).

I think I wet myself! NO, Wait! I just spilled some beer. Nevermind.

I only lasted for a couple of pages. DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE tell what you know and from which sources.

She was the "go to girl" in the dorm as I understood it. Go to it girl!

Thanks for the clarification. I feel a bunch better now. Ethel could kick out the jams. I had a cousin who made millions selling her hairpins.

Was that to replace the Patti Page you'd programmed?

Please demonstrate the position.

and my wife, Ann.

Jonas Kullhammar may be a cool player but the real question is does he allow taping?

JOE SMITH, great trumpeter with Fletcher Henderson and others. I think I have the winner here.

Most (if not all) of the masters are owned by the leaders of the dates. Many of the issued cds are legally questionable. I know Mary Ellen Rouse (Charlie's widow) had to hire a lawyer to get her masters back and stop the marketing of the cd. I believe the date with Bartz, Hancock, etc was a Black Lion recording currently owned by DA Music. Clifford Jordan owned his masters and all the stuff in the "Dolphy Series" - Cecil Payne, Charles Brackeen, etc. I believe he sold the Sanders master to Arista (or someone). I know this 'cause he offered the lot to me. This is a mess, never to be really resolved.

Frank was the one in disguise. Do you know who he was?

Imagine how you'd feel if your name was Tate.
