  1. "The records were to be destroyed after the war but many of them survived." https://archive.org/details/V-discs1-991943-1944
  2. A town's local history society has said a punk gig which “caused mayhem” and resulted in certain types of live music being banned in public buildings for two decades is "not worthy" of a blue plaque. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp38z28yjpvo
  3. In my opinion, Colombia’s goalkeeper should have been able to prevent Argentina’s goal.
  4. I will be watching the final of the Copa America, including the Shakira halftime.
  5. I had the same experience shipping packages Media Mail from Texas to Florida. I mailed the first package on a Wednesday and it arrived to its destination on Friday. My guess was that the Media Mail plane flies out of Texas on Wednesday evenings. From then on, I shipped all Media Mail on Wednesdays and each time the package arrived in 48 hours.
  6. This video reminds me of the reenactment of the original ballet for The Rite of Spring.
  7. If you don't mind another Rick Beato video, here is his point of view:
  8. Hadley Caliman's Iapetus - if you are a Santana fan, you might want to compare this recording to the beginning of the Caravanserai album.
  9. Well, the concert probably rocked Toronto:

  11. Has this Asian band already been posted here?
  12. Maybe the best view of the saxophone is at the 0:48 seconds mark of the video.
  13. You can watch a CBSAustin news video of the exhibit. The Coltrane saxophone appears at the 2:04 minute mark. There is an acoustic guitar behind the saxophone. A "Flying-V" guitar is above the acoustic guitar. I hope this weblink works: https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/tbt-lbj-librarys-music-america-exhibit-features-willie-nelson-prince-taylor-swift
  14. Has this forum already mentioned the exhibit at the LBJ Presidential Library? If you are in central Texas, you might want to see the display of “iconic objects from America’s music history”, including one of John Coltrane’s saxophones (a saxophone that he gave to Ira Gitler). The saxophone is inside a cabinet, directly beneath two guitars owned by Jimi Hendrix. The exhibit also has one of Dizzy Gillespie’s trumpets, a saxophone owned by Sidney Bechet, clothing worn by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald’s cabaret card, videos, handwritten lyrics, contracts, Jim Morrison’s journal, more clothing, a minimoog, etc. https://www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-press/press-releases/music-america-exhibition-opens-at-lbj-library
  15. Unheard performances by Louis Armstrong at the BBC in 1968, regarded by Armstrong aficionados as some of the jazz legend’s greatest work, are to finally be released. https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/may/22/unheard-louis-armstrong-recordings-to-be-released-bbc-1968
  16. Barbara Hannigan, conducting, singing, when will she come to my town? Her latest news: https://www.ludwig-van.com/toronto/2024/05/15/scoop-barbara-hannigan-named-chief-conductor-artistic-director-iceland-symphony-orchestra/
  17. There have been some related studies: "We often plan our activities based on the clock out of necessity, so that we can coordinate with friends or show up at the right time to a dentist appointment. But when it comes to how you would ideally plan your days, the research suggests that people differ, with some more drawn to clock time and some more to event time." https://psyche.co/ideas/is-it-better-to-live-in-clock-time-or-event-time
  18. Are you referring to albums such as the recordings of Mingus with Langston Hughes (Weary Blues)? Another Mingus album might be the A Modern Jazz Symposium of Music and Poetry.
  19. The DOJ’s lawyer collected data on 58,000 titles published in a year and discovered that 90 percent of them sold fewer than 2,000 copies and 50 percent sold less than a dozen copies. https://www.elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-books

This year’s honorees are Nataki Garrett (theater), Shamel Pitts (dance), Acosia Red Elk (dance), esperanza spalding (jazz), Chay Yew (theater) and Miguel Zenón (jazz), each of whom is being awarded $525,000 in unrestricted funds and an incentive of up to $25,000 to save for retirement. https://www.dorisduke.org/news--insights/articles/doris-duke-foundation-announces-2024-artist-awards-for-excptional-achievement-in-dance-jazz-and-theater/
