My all-time favorite occurred when Dave Brubeck was playing "For All We Know" live at the 1958 Monterey Jazz Festival. Midway in the song a plane took off from a nearby airport and was clearly heard at the festival. Brubeck immediately segued into "Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder".

Good question. Releasing two versions would not be economic so the most popular version was released.

Looking forward to acquiring the CD!

Sad story. Very good advice!

Speaking of Woody's "Jackpot" Dave Brubeck Quartet also had a "Jackpot" LP recorded in the Las Vegas Tropicana Hotel in 1967.

The soundtrack for "Vanishing Point" is excellent. So is the movie!

Was recorded on October 9, 1957. Blue Note released it thereafter.

Jack Chambers biography of Dick Twardzik "Bouncin' With Bartok" is a masterpiece!

Dave Brubeck banged away but what a great improvisor.

I would not call Ted Gioia's book stodgy, if you are referring to his "West Coast Jazz" classic. IMHO this is the best book written on the subject. I have re-read it several times and refer to it frequently.

Another TV show "Frankly Jazz". The "Stars of Jazz" TV series was documented in an excellent book by James A. Harrod. There were 130 broadcasts. Extracts from many shows were released on 36 Calliope label LPs.

Not exactly on topic but the Jubilee LP has been issued on CD.

What about Dorothy Donegan?

How about Marian McPartland?

According to the YouTube listing the recording date was 1982.

What kind of disability did Carl Perkins have? I thought he just chose to play his left hand that way.

Son-of-a-Weizen- what is your rationale for cataloging classical CDs by conductor instead of by composer?

What ever happened to Frank Patchen? He played with the Lighthouse All Stars in 1952 and 53 and then disappeared.

Any idea who plays piano on #1? On #3 the trumpet player sounds somewhat like Fruscella but in a higher register. Any idea?

Teddy's Ready! was released on CD in 1992. Fantasy OJCCD-748-2.

I have a very interesting Pacific Jazz sampler CD. It contains one song from each of the 12 Pacific Jazz West Coast Classics LPs that were re-issued as CDs in 1998. This CD was issued for promotional uses only and not for sale. The catalog number is DPRO 7087 6 10171 2 0. I also have a CDR of the Pacific Jazz "Assorted Flavors" sampler LP.

A Columbia/Sony Brubeck CD set would be very desirable if it contained the two previously unissued CDs of LPs- "The Last Time We Saw Paris" and "Compadres".

The Miles sessions with Red Garland on Prestige are very good.
