05/20/1949 Turandot @ Buenos Aires 06/03/1950 Aida @ mexico city

12/07/1955. the first 15minutes was not recorded, so there is a filler from a different date on all issues.

Louis CK is not making fun of, but making fun with.

05/26/1951 I Vespri Siciliani @ Firenze, Teatro Comunale (florence, italy)

i took Kevin's advice. i replaced the speakers with used cerwin vega RL-18P. they're in great shape. these are supposedly from when they were still making good speakers before being sold to japan. forums on the web say that cerwin vega speakers take extra care in protecting their tweeters from blowing. the forums also say that cerwin vega speakers are unnecessarily loud, and the sound is not as detailed as people prefer. i've been listening to them for a week, and for my type of listening they seem satisfactory. although i haven't yet played music for which i needed to crank up the bass. my amp is harman kardon.

i came across an odds and ends item from the prime years Arthur Blythe from cd 'God Rest Ye Merry, Jazzmen' (Columbia 1981) The Christmas Song Fred Hopkins, Steve McCall, John Hicks https://www.discogs.com/Various-God-Rest-Ye-Merry-Jazzmen/master/930516

this is far from very good taste.

some of the most colorful miles studio dialogue is on this session, transcribed for our convenience. http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=630416

no, not there.

where's this on the box set? i can't find it.

example: cd1, track 33 (0:42). at 0:32 after they say 'cut', the music continues for a few seconds, then goes on repeat, and fades out. what is the reason for this? i've heard this process before on old recordings.

2/23/1953 Il Trovatore, Milano, Teatro alla Scala

that lester sample sounds new (different from other lester savory samples provided in the past).

am i right in thinking that monk has by far the most tribute albums, even more than the biggies like ellington and coltrane. it would be interesting to know why that is.

someone still needs to compare takes b and c to take a.
