Of course they will check this forum, as they will inspect the Facebook accounts of all his "friends" there. Amen to that. Being the father of three young children (9, 7 and 4 years old), the simple thought of the magnitude of this crime just makes me sick.

That's really good news. Thanks for sharing!

Duke Ellington Treasury shows, vol.14, and a couple of additional volumes from the DETS series that I was missing.

James Price Johnson Feb. 1, 1894 - Nov. 17 1955 Beloved Husband, Father and Grandfather Master American Pianist and Composer The Dean of Jazz Pianists As reported on Mule Walk and Jazz Talk (September 17, 2009 and October 7, 2009), the James P. Johnson Foundation, the Johnson family and Smalls Club organized an all day “rent party” to raise money to buy a monument to commemorate this great musician who so far rested in peace in an unmarked grave in Maspeth, Queens, Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The event met with success and this is the proof: http://thereisjazzbeforetrane.blogspot.com/2011/06/james-p-johnson-grave.html

"What a Wonderful World: The Magic of Louis Armstrong's Later Years", Ricky Riccardi's biography of Louis Armstrong's later years (from the end of WWII to his death in 1971) will be published by Pantheon on June 21. Being a strong supporter of Ricky's Louis Armstrong blog, having been aware of his thorough research -from a long distance, of course-, and even having contributed with a few newspaper & magazine articles here and there -just the smallest bit to his wonderful research and analysis work-, I cannot be impartial but... ... I strongly recommend to buy the book! Amazon link

Isaac Albéniz's "Suite Iberia": http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberia_(suite)

The Charles Mingus Quintet with Dannie Richmond, Don Pullen, George Adams & Hamiet Bluiett played at the IX Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián on July 25, 1974. This concert was recorded, as it was broadcast on Spanish TVE 1 on Sep. 14, 1974. Mingus's group (with Dannie Richmond, Ricky Ford, Jack Walrath & Robert Neloms) also played at the XII Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián on July 25, 1977, but I don't know if a soundboard or audience recording exists.

Are you C.J. Hazevoet? If so, welcome to the organissimo forums, Kees! If you aren't... I'm afraid his Don Byas discography shouldn't be offered to download for free without his permission! Best regards, Agustín Pérez Madrid
