I can score a pair of tickets to the Side Door this weekend, if I name the most people in this video. Here's who I go so far: Bobby Watson Christos Rafalides Javon Jackson ? ? Jimmy Greene Nocole Zuraitis Bill Charlap ? Jonathan Barber Ken Peplowski ? ? Maurice Robinson ? ? ? ? Peter Bernstein ? ? Brian Charette

Looks interesting...and inexpensive. Just ordered a copy. Thanks!

Is the Blue Note Discography by Cuscuna and Ruppli still a valid and desirable resource? It was first printed in 1988. I have not seen the book myself, hence the question.

This year’s WFMU RECORD FAIR is October 14-15 at some place called the Knockdown Center in Maspeth. 52-19 Flushing Ave, Queens, NY 11378

Warner Brothers Coltrane, Alice – Transfiguration (2 LP) beautiful copy $25 Is this an original, or a later pressing?

I think Al Bennett was the Alvin part of the "Alvin and the Chipmunks".

$24,000,000 in 1968 translates into over $200,000,000 today, according to this source. https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/1968?amount=24000000 Regarding the BN sale to Liberty in 1965…was Wolff the partner or the employee of the label, and Lion was the sole owner? I’ve found this a bit confusing. Would be interesting to read the Purchase and Sale Agreement. I wouldn’t have bought any of these three compilations, just thought it strange that I don’t remember seeing them on record store shelves.

I don't remember seeing these compilations. The logotype in the top right corner tells us these were the Transamerica releases. Well, that, and the date 1969.

I saw neither. We will return. I can't spend more than two uninterrupted hours in a show, otherwise I begin to lose concentration and interest...We just covered the selections from the permanent collection on the 7th floor. https://whitney.org/exhibitions/collection-1900-to-1965 My teenager son was most impressed with the show of Calder's puppets and the accompanying film. I liked seeing Marsden Hartley's pictures. He could do so much on a small canvas!

Good thread! Somehow missed it. Went to the Whitney today. Last weekend went to the Newport Annual Flower Show (that's art too).

Massachusetts man who thought he'd lost winning lottery ticket finally pockets $3M jackpot: Cops say store worker STOLE it - and was only caught when she and 'co-conspirator' started arguing over how to split cash in Lotto HQ lobby https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12255083/Rightful-winner-3-million-Mega-Millions-lottery-ticket-collects-prize-STOLEN.html

Circa 2001 I was on a Melle kick and bought everything of his I could put my eyes on.The Tower on East 8th St corner of Broadway had all of his BN and OJC cds and the two Toshiba-EMI 10" BN represses. I also have a couple of his late 1960s-early 1970s electronic soundtrack LPs. Not a completist, just a fan. He was a brilliant individual, what we would call the Renaissance man.

It is a visual feast! I'll shoot a quick video of me leafing through it to show you what's inside the covers.

That's great to know. Is this something in literature? I just started reading Havers's Blue Note book.

…which makes me wonder how much Lion (and Wolff?) received for their boutique label…

Who died in Poway? Alvin and the chipmunks were in Liberty also, I read. People love that goofy stuff, must’ve made them millions, especially during Christmas time.

A train wreck.

I could see it if he was emitting the train, but the train is running into his horn.

The title is"Miles farted". This is really bad.

...As the perpetrator was stepping over the prostrate lawmaker, he shouted, "Be flat!".

May I ask which jazz icon is it?

I want to see those five people who bought this.

Lion worked for Liberty for 2 years after the sale, finally leaving in 1967. Liberty Records was bought by Transamerica in 1968 for $24,000,000. I am wondering how much of that sale was BN's share of the Liberty portfolio? Liberty had previously had a small, but healthy number of Billboard Top 100 hits. Did Lion clear even a million when he sold to Liberty in 1965? I hope so...but I doubt it.
