The problem I have with downloads: no complete credits, liner notes, etc. Even if they are enclosed, I have to open a different file. I'm not one to back up music files all over the place, I would not have enough time to hear the backlog of physical product. Plus I still have storage space, as HutchFan can attest, since he's seen my music library.

I have acquired downloads of music not available in physical form. But when offered a download of a physical release for review, I usually pass. There is too much on my computers already and I would never listen to the music on computer.

I firmly believe in physical media: CDs, LPs, DVDs, Blu-Rays and books. I don’t want downloads for review or broadcast.

That's a good run, I understand that Martial Solal retired a few years ago. Dick Hyman turned 96 last March 8 and he is still performing close to home around the West Coast of Florida, though I don't think he is accepting any gigs that require out of state travel.

Track 2 has been previously identified as Coleman Hawkins. Track 3 has been previously identified as "Manha de Carnaval," Track 4 is likely to be a challenge, unless you own the CD. It is an excerpt of a larger work. Track 6 has been previously identified to feature Clark Terry, though it is obviously not his date as a leader. The source of Track 7 was previously identified. Track 11 was previously identified as a "Blood Count." Track 12 was previously identified as "Peace," performed by an as yet unidentified European pianist. Track 13 was previously identified in full.

I remember the extensive article in Life about the mass shooting and photos of his victims. I recall Whitman killed his wife and mother prior to heading to the campus and after he was shot dead, an autopsy revealed a brain tumor. I don’t know if it was ever revealed if he had been diagnosed with it prior to his heinous crimes.

Is that the one that starred Kurt Russell that was filmed at LSU? I seem to recall UT wanted nothing to do with the film, which makes sense.

Dave Brubeck with his sons (Two Generations of Brubeck), fall 1973 in New Orleans. I had no idea that I would get to know Dave Brubeck very well as a jazz broadcaster and journalist, in the late 1980s, getting to see him in concert numerous times over the years in different cities. He was always a delightful interview. Oddly enough, my first date with my wife in 1979 was a Brubeck concert and she ended up being part of a choir singing his sacred music in a 2000 concert. I'll have to say I agree with you about "Birdland." At least Rich didn't play the monotonous "Big Mama Cass," a number that a local big band has played far too often.

It is the first New Zealand LP in my collection, just purchased. I wish I could find those elusive Alan Broadbent Chilly Bin CDs.

It was a matter of time, especially have so many users uploaded complete and still in print recordings. Hopefully this won’t cause all of the historic broadcasts to be removed as well.

This cd just arrived yesterday and I hope to hear it within the week.

It seems like this group won't be running it for long, due to their gross incompetence.

It is an Ellington tune, but not a later one. The main artist in track 2 was previously identified. Track 3 doesn't feature Stafford James, George Mraz or Chico Hamilton. Track 5 doesn't include Philly Joe Jones, Dizzy Gillespie or Jerome Richardson. Track 8 isn't Pat Martino. Track 9 doesn't feature Dave Holland and it isn't a Gato Barbieri tune, it isn't a jazz composition. Track 12 is Horace Silver's "Peace," played by a European pianist.

Arnold Laubich and Ray Spencer noted Lou Stein's small hands in their Art Tatum Discography on "ImaTatums," explaining that his small hands made it unable for him to successfully recreate Art Tatum recordings on an LP they auditioned.

Eric Dolphy's flute was given to John Coltrane by Dolphy's parents after his death in 1964. I wonder if Ravi Coltrane owns it or where it is now.

Art Tatum liked to take Dorothy around to clubs and when pianists inevitably challenged him, he would suggest they battle her first. I think that was mentioned in Jazz Anecdotes... Marian McPartland told me that she thought Dorothy Donegan had an inconsistent recording output due to being difficult to work with and he she was la bit full of herself. When they played their final duet to conclude the broadcast of Piano Jazz, she told her, "Dorothy, you wasted me!" Donegan's response, "It was no contest!"

My copy just arrived yesterday, hope to get to hearing it soon. A backlog of new releases and purchases is always a challenge to assign priorities...

I bought volume 1 in the past couple of years and this gem arrived yesterday.

The nice thing about Philadelphia music is that they undergrade their CDs. Many listed as NM are still sealed, while the orders I have received graded VG+ have been NM. It is surprising how many long out of print jazz CDs can be purchased so cheaply. I don't think that I missed anything in the low priced jazz CDs under $6 on my want list and I bought a few more pricey items as well. My latest order is scheduled to arrive today.

It gives me another reason to avoid malls, which I have done for years…

"That's be cash on the barrelhead, son!" I took my wife to a country concert recently and it had all the bad elements of a rock concert, too much volume, distorted lyrics, monotonous songs. It was a miserable experience and I didn't make it through the headliner's set. I still listen to solo albums by Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, Gram Parsons, the Flying Burrito Bros. (before they disbanded the first time), and some others. I never did get into the Eagles.
