But just wait until you hear these three new 15-minute live versions of My Favorite Things that were just turned up. Paraphrasing Martin Williams.... where's the melody? We should get back to the 78 rpm discs: three and a half minutes per song is enough. Solos of more than three choruses should be forbidden!

I don't need more Coltrane.... really.

Fascinating 19 minutes long two-part movie about how a 78 RPM record was made in the famours Victor Camden plant in NJ. Titles in German, but narration in impeccable English. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tDKfgux0Fk&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jutW-TgX16U&translated=1

After twenty years, the Spanish jazz magazine Cuadernos de Jazz has decided to stop making its printed edition. Cuadernos de Jazz was currently the oldest and the longest-ever running jazz magazine in Spain. The editor has published a brief note stating that the magazine will go online and that they will bring back the contents of early issues: http://cuadernosdejazz.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1132>

A new Vic Dickenson recording is always great news! Just ordered this through Jim Galloway's website.

This book was updated by Richard Johnson and Bernard Shirley and is available at http://www.rustbooks.com/books2.php. Regards, Agustín

Thanks, I'll follow that path if I can't find a reasonable priced physical copy. Guess I can download it from Spain.

Very sorry to hear that Brian Rust died. I use the CD-Rom edition, and go back to it very frequently. A true legend in the field of jazz discography!

Looking for a reasonably priced copy of this CD. (I'm not sure why I missed it when I hunted most CH Chronological Classics discs!) Please, sent PM or email me at ekebbbapg@yahoo.es Thanks in advance, Agustín

Same here!

Thanks for the heads up, Marcel and Guy!

In the not-very-probable case that you don't have the complete Art Tatum's Solo Masterpieces recordings for Pablo (life would be much harder without them!), Pablo/Universal has just reissued them as a cheap 8-CD box-set. It sells for about 22 € in Spain. Minor flaw: no liner notes, just the basic discographical info.

My database of jazz discs says I'm about 7.500 discs, with several remarks: a) it also includes mp3 (the recount can only be done by item, not by format) b) multiple box-sets are counted by the number of individual discs (this is, a 5-disc box-set contributes with 5 discs) c) discs with more than one leader are duplicated (this is, a Gonsalves-Terry leaded disc is included as one disc by Gonsalves and one by Terry). Classical, flamenco, rock and pop discs are stored in my attic and are part of a different database.
