The film soundtrack is performed by Nora Jones' dad. Ornette's score was rejected.

Thanks for your information and efforts P.L.M. I hope Anthony is ok.

Yikes! Thanks Hans. I had not seen this.

Welcome, Matt.

I couldn't imagine him working in a Hamburger Hamlet either. I can envision Terri in a waitress costume however.

Good Luck! It ain't easy.

The Legacy site lists 4 prewar discs being issued today - Lucille Bogan, Rev JM Gates. Mississippi Sheiks and Mamie Smith.

I think Carr only made one session for Bluebird. All the rest were Vocalions.

Unless my memory has completely left, I think the K2 of Monk's Music is mastered from the mono tapes except for the composite "Crepuscule". The previous OJC had 6 of 8 tracks in stereo.

Interesting you bring this up tonight. I have been playing Beethoven cds while cataloging my LVB cds today. I have complete sonata sets by Schnabel ('30s), Kempff ('50s), Brendel ('60s) and others by tons of players including Solomon, Rosen, Richter, etc. This is a life long enchantment. I do not think it will end. If you are interested in more Beethoven, I suggest moving on to the string quartets.

Yes. They failed to get a publishing license from Contemporary. Ornette was looking for an "out" and this was "it". Contemporary filed (or said they'd file) court papers.

People keep mentioning Inner City. 98% of what they issued was licensed from European or Japanese labels. Not a "real" label.

Ann insists (and I agree) you check out this.

Look, it is a worthy event and "cause" BUT don't you think it is rude to make your first (and maybe only) post an ad? Lord knows I "do business" here, but at least I enter into dialogue with the fine members. This is not your "neighborhood advertizer".

My favorite is "Three Men On A Beat" which I see is now on cd. Other favorites are the Trenet collection and the Black Lion "Bill Coleman Meets Guy Lafitte".

The Inner City was licensed from Musidisc. The original lp was on the America label. Musidisc issued a cd in 1993. The IAI lp was withdrawn shortly after release in 1977. Ornette got it blocked.

Randy - my mom died about 3 years ago and I'm not over it yet. I have a clue to your feeling. All the best - as lame as this may sound now. All the BEST.

Stupid (I know), but every time I see his name I think of "Wade In the Water" or "Legge In the Water". For classical fans the image of Legge in the water can have different consequences.

Looks like my posts are "suspect".

How difficult is it for topics to have correct spelling? I hate seeing this "over and over".

I find all the "post building" threads interesting for a while, BUT masterbating too often leads to blisters (regardless of sex). I'd be interested in the stats for non-ongoing threads (like What Are You Listening To) and "stupid" threads. I guess a bit of time in the archives will answer this but I don't have time.

Mainstream was an extension of Bob Shad's earlier Time label. Cobblestone was the brainchild of Joe Fields, then marketing director for Buddah. Joe had broken into the record biz as salesman for Bob Weinstock at Prestige. I met him in this capacity in the mid '60s. Anyway, Joe convinced Buddah to start a "Prestige-like" sub and he brought Don Schlitten in to produce. When Joe left Buddah he negotiated some sort of deal to take most of the Cobblestone masters with him. He then started Muse with Schlitten as a minority partner. After a couple of years Joe and Don had a messy "divorce" complete with a "years long" series of lawsuits over the ownership of certain Muse and Onyx masters. This was not settled until the mid '80s. First evidence of the settlement was the Xanadu release of an unissued Muse session by Terry Gibbs and Joe started releasing some of the old Onyx stuff.

I have Mid Western Drifter - that's why I wondered what you were talking about.
