Ken Dryden

Horrible rewrite of the book, inventing characters that weren't present and David Niven's character was an American in the Alistair MacLean novel.

I am thinking about offering a broadcast every week or so to those interested . I have hundreds of Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz shows, in addition to other NPR and APR/PRI and other broadcasts. Share your email via pm to obtain the Piano Jazz with Ed Bickert. There is a three day limit to download once you receive it. Maybe others will make similar offers, but I am not expecting anything in return.

Trimming Alan Grant's announcements is always a wise move. He got ridiculously pompous by the time he hosted Four Queens Jazz Night From Las Vegas.

LOL!

Here's hoping for as complete a box as possible. I am not excited about buying excerpts, only to have a larger set issues a year later.

I have buying from philadelphia music for several years and they tend to undergrade. They are terrific!

If anyone is interested, I have some digitized live broadcasts of Ken Peplowski that are not commercially issued: Hotel Four Queens, Las Vegas 8/2/1993 Newport Jazz Festival with Evan Christopher and Anat Cohen 8/4/2012

Ted Rosenthal announced Ken’s passing on FB. He will be missed, he had a brilliant career and he was a funny giy.

Too bad it can't be recorded...

I know that there are other jazz journalists and broadcasters here. I talked to to bassist Harvie S last week for publication in the April issue of The New York City Jazz Record. This afternoon I talked to the founder of the Turtle Island Quartet, violinist/composer David Balakrishnan. This interview will be edited for broadcast on my Timeless Jazz show, likely to air on February 15th, prior to the band's February 24th concert here. Both Zoom chats were lots of fun!

Hopefully it would be better than Crouch's typically arrogant, self-promoting liner notes.

I did and no record of it existed, though I am positive that I submitted it. Evidently an internet outage happened, as I never was charged on my credit cards (I checked them all) nor did I find a confirmation from Mosaic. Scott is taking care of me, so all is well.

Still crickets from Mosaic about my copy.

He was a masterful artist, he will be missed.

“India” has long been a favorite of mine.

I must be the oddball of the jazz world. A Love Supreme has never been my favorite John Coltrane album, since I got into Eric Dolphy before John Coltrane, I have always preferred the 1961 Village Vanguard recordings.

I tried watching the first episode of Schitt's Creek and I'm not sure that I made it through all the way. It just didn't make me laugh,

Marty Grosz was a regular at the Atlanta Jazz Party for years, though he would get on the host's nerves by telling too many jokes at the beginning of sets he led, a problem when individual sets were maybe 25-30 minutes before the lineup changed. I guess Marty is retired now, he must be in his nineties.

My review should be on line at hothousejazz.com in the next day or two, unless it ends up in the digital paid subscriber edition.

No shipping notice from UPS or Mosaic's expediter.

A bit of sleet, but we got out of our hilly subdivision outside Chattanooga yesterday without an issue. When a real storm hits, this area can be shut down for several days.

I digitized the Joanne Grauer show awhile back and can send you the files. It is excellent and it didn't need pitch correction. Let me know your email and I can send the music, I have to go downstairs to find the CDR.

I will give them time to respond, then I will sell the duplicates and forward them the net money.

I stopped by FedEx today and learned it would cost nearly $290 to return this duplicate order to this French label. Looks like I am stuck with them at their expense. I am not risking the combination of the USPS and French mail at my expense.

Who you jiving with that Cosmik Debris?
