Yes. Lonely Woman was the first one that occurred to me.

Wynton Kelly sounds good on almost everything. He's one of those artists whose mere presence will often convince me to make a purchase. As I noted recently on another thread, this recent release is highly recommended:

Tenor saxophonist and educator Andy McGhee has left us at age 89. Just saw a death notice in the Boston Globe. He played with Lionel Hampton for about six years. McGHEE, Andrew Renowned Jazz Artist & Former Professor Berklee School of Music Age 89, died in Marietta, GA, on Thursday, October 12, 2017 of natural causes. Receiving of friends and funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, October 24, 2017 in the Chapel of Forrest Hills Cemetery with military honors. Mr. McGhee was a former Professor at Berklee. West Cobb Funeral Home and Crematory, Marietta, GA is in charge of arrangements.

Just listening to this now.

I've experienced problems accessing the forum at times over the last week or so, especially the last few days. I get a "couldn't select database" message. However, if I search for Organissimo and then click on some of the hits, I can sometimes get in. Anyone else having problems?

How about "Brain Cloudy Blues" (Bob Wills)?

Make me an offer so you can start your collection now! ? However, be advised that I'm not a Jet Blue "Mosaic" member. On the other hand, the boarding pass clearly displays the coveted "TSA approved" notation and includes the handwritten markings of an approved TSA agent. Clearly a one-of-a-kind item for serious collectors. Make your best offer before it's too late. . Free domestic shipping. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of aviation history!

Jet Blue at JFK just called for preferred boarding for their "Mosaic customers." Unexpected benefit? If only. ?

I saw Art Farmer live many times in Boston. He almost always played at least one composition by Fritz Pauer. At times he played several over the course of the night.

Oops. Always thought they were the same. Thanks for the correction. Perhaps the moderator can delete the thread....

"Gee Bullwinkle.." RIP

Jeff, it's not really that surprising in some respects. As a friend pointed out to me many years ago, the music was meant to be played one side at a time. Listening to 20 cuts in a row by almost anyone can get tiring and monotonous. Listening to a single 78 forces you to get up every few minutes. It also tends to lead to more focused and careful listening (at least for me). Also, there's the aural pleasure of listening to music on 78s when it was originally recorded for that purpose. It can be a remarkably different experience.

A deep well indeed! For those interested, the "Off the Record" issue appears to be back in print (although their other releases are not available). See here: Off The Record

Great album. His chorus on "My Romance" where he plays harmonics is ingrained in my head. Working at home and enjoying the following recent acquisition:

The iTunes listing that came up for me looks like it's for Volume 2.

Scott seems quite busy but also is quite helpful. Leave him a message and he'll call back. I placed an order recently and received it sooner than I expected. I'm not sure what most people are accustomed to in terms of service for mail orders, but Mosaic has been exemplary in that respect over the years.

Happy Birthday Jack! Have a great day!

Perhaps that's because it is not an Ellington tune. It was recorded at least three times in 1939 -- by Barney Bigard (June 8), by Cab Calloway (July 17), and by Leo Watson (August 22). The composer credits on these versions are to Irving Mills, Buck Ram, and, in some cases, Cab Calloway. The tune is actually based on a much older Yiddish tune.

I really enjoy the Duke Pearson arrangements for Stanley Turrentine. That could have been a nice Mosaic select if there was enough material.

The new location was nicer than the most recent previous one. The film program on Friday was excellent! As always, it was good to see old friends.

I remember listening to part of his no-hitter against the Mets on Father's Day in 1964 during a ride home from Jones Beach.
