Jeez, this is all too eerily reminiscent of the Morris Levy case a few years ago. Levy was a notorious mobster record label & nightclub owner who played by his own rules for decades. He was finally convicted of racketeering and died before serving a day in prison. Many believe he faked his death and skipped town. He had the money and the power to bring it off.

I remember Teddy & the Pandas. They were a teen band from a town north of Boston, Wilmington, I think. They had a couple of singles out on a local label, and then were signed to Tower (a subsidiary of Capitol), on which they released one LP. AMG has a pretty good entry about them. There were any number of Boston bands in the 60's that got to record. The best ones were Barry & the Remains (Epic) & The Lost (Capitol). In 1967, MGM records signed several Boston bands and created a marketing scheme around the "Boss-town Sound". The hype included Ultimate Spinach, The Beacon Street Union, and Orpheus. Other Boston bands who made records at the time were Phluph (Verve), Earth Opera (Elektra), Ill Wind (ABC), Eden's Children (ABC), Ford Theater (ABC), Timothy Clover (Tower), Steve Colt & the 45's (RCA, Vanguard), Listening (Vanguard), Orphan(s) (Epic, London), Bagatelle (ABC), Mason & Dixon (Tower), and a number of others I can't recall at the moment.

Gee, how do you really feel?

It's Norman Granz. I believe this comes from Nat's network TV show. One week, the "guests" were the JATP entourage.

There are two ways in Photoshop to solve the problem of the slight color difference between the two scans. The color difference usually occurs at the edge of the scan, probably because some light leaked into the scanner. 1. When you stitch two images together, there is considerable overlap. The edge of the "top" image will be visible when you have combined them. Sometimes if you trim a portion of the "top" image away, the new edge will match what's under it more closely. 2. Take a color sample of the area around the line with the eyedropper tool. Switch to the brush tool and paint over the area. I find that this works really well. You'll have to adjust the size of the brush a few times to get into the nooks and crannies, but with a little practice, you can make covers that are pretty close to flawless, especially since they are smaller than the original LP image. Larger bed scanners are available, btw, but they are expensive.

I can't say I know the whole story, but I remember hearing that Miles was not willing to allow himself to be portrayed in the film - I guess portraying a living person in a film requires getting the permission of said person. Perhaps this is the case with Max, as well. I do know that Chan and Red Rodney were involved as advisors (or more), and this is why they figure so prominently in the film.
