i looked through losin's discography yesterday after you posted. there are no other new items listed for the recording dates that were used for the Cole Porter Song Book album. so the other items that you heard are completely unissued.

there's one new take on the recently issued 'with strings deluxe edition'. do you think that schapp played more than one new take?

other than the interview, what is the point of including cd3.

the discographical info is at http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/BirdDisco.aspx?id=ParkerESP doesn't look like a great box set. includes some dial and various studio tunes; benedetti stuff. but a lot of the live sessions are complete.

oh, that's nice. i'm going to demand a refund for that online creative writing course.

viewing those photos of the estate sale was very depressing, but in retrospect it would be kind of cool to have something like even an ordinary lamp that was owned by an important jazz musician.

i had a w.c. handy cd which had recordings from 1918, which to me were the earliest jazz recordings in my collection.

I'm told by a not very reliable source that this was Teachout's original ending to the play. I think that he made a good decision in going with the current ending instead. it's much more subtle. … Armstrong comes back from yet another lengthy european tour, only to find glaser in bed with lucille. Armstrong: "so that's why you keep sending me out on tour, you son of a bitch!". Armstrong grabs a gun, and kills them both. With blood all over the room, armstrong is on his knees, wailing "oh lord, I killed my best friend, and that bitch!. I can't live in this world no more". he slowly brings the gun up to his temple. Lights fade. A gunshot is heard. End of play.

>>>Hinton was also well known for his photography and amassed a collection of more than 60,000 images during his lifetime. if these are in the sale, then whoever buys them is going to make a lot of money by selling them individually on ebay, if that's what they choose to do. like the burt goldblatt photos and negatives that have been selling on ebay for the past couple of years.

to see if ricardi's description of it is correct? the only thing that Teachout disputes about the description is that Teachout says that he did insert this line into the play: “It ain’t about the money, got me plenty of that,” . but i suspect that this line was spoken by the actor during the intermission, when the audience was getting coffee.

good point. the play (which i haven't seen) would certainly have been more interesting this way, rather than what it is - taking the stereotypical way out. and it would have been harder to write. probably more than Teachout could handle as a writer, even if he had wanted to tell it that way. i'm sure that he knew both versions of the story, because ricardi seems to have been in touch with him for a long time. and his rebuttal is just silly, and sorely lacking.

good research, and an interesting read. http://dippermouth.blogspot.com/2015/06/louis-armstrong-joe-glaser-and-satchmo.html

avakian had already dealt with deceiving record buyers in december 1955 when he talked louis armstrong into recording in an empty concert hall in milan, complete with spoken tune introductions, with plans of adding audience applause at a later date for the ambassador satch album. then 6 months later the two do a promotional interview for that record in los angeles, and at the beginning of the intv, avakian reminds armstrong that during the intv, they will pretend that they're still in milan 12/55. it's hard not to feel repulsed by this behavior. i would say that all record producers are kind of full of shit.

...He wrote one of the best jazz biographies... >>> a small, but important clarification - bessie smith is a blues singer, not a jazz singer.

one more "Sunny Side of the Street" (Traditional Line 1340 cd) tracks 1-9 unique spring 1959 europe concert tracks 10-end incomplete repeat of 3/65 prague (columbia) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000281Z2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00&tag=donations09-20 proof: 2nd page of entry as seen here https://books.google.com/books?id=mvyj8r6puTgC&printsec=frontcover&dq=%22all+of+me%22+%22louis+armstrong%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BSM7T4-nG8SA2AW0mcmeCg#v=onepage&q=1340&f=false 1st page says spring 1959 concert, unknown location, probably in europe.

Yes, I agree (with the looking hideous part). I definitely can't see anything "art" in them, to me most of the players above look like über kitsch. other than the Goldmund's, they all look pretty cool to me. i'd be curious to know how many units were sold of each of these models, and where. in Dubai?

thanks. that was a tough one.

Freddie Hubbard Unissued Live Recordings As Leader 1969-1980 http://home.earthlink.net/~lpogost/freddiehubbard.htm maybe someone can i.d. the unknown title from September 23, 1970 Amsterdam, it's at http://picosong.com/jXUM it's usually listed as "For B.P." (from High Blues Pressure 1967), but it's not the same tune.

a very long bob belden wkcr interview from 1999. https://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/in-response-to-the-passing-of-bob-belden-oct-31-1956-may-20-2015-a-wkcr-musician-show-interview-from-1999-an-interview-for-the-press-bio-i-wrote-for-black-dahlia-from-2000-and-an-uncut-down/

i don't think that this record label has too much jazz experience. here is their R&B/JAZZ section http://www.rockbeatrecords.com/buy-dvd-cd/index.php?cPath=30_53 the parker is the only jazz item. that page did get me to read about ike turner on wiki, and how he "completed 18 months of his sentence before being released on parole in September 1991.... In prison he became a trustee working in the library and saved up $13,000 by selling cigarettes, candy bars and coffee to other inmates." which sounds like a big fat lie.

losin will probably update his discography with this release in the near future. then you can make an informed decision on whether to get it or not.

some screenshots of bob belden playing in woody herman's band 1979 nice, france. he is best seen in the photos in the top row, the 3 shots on the left. edit: looks like he posted this concert on his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Bobbelden/search?query=allintitle%3A+woody
