HutchFan: Wasn’t Luis playing with Miguel Zenon when we saw him at Ga Tech?

I will have to see if it is indexed, it may be one long track on a cdr.
I am in the process of uploading the appearance that Burt Bacharach made on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz . It was recorded in Los Angeles on November 4, 2004 and first aired by NPR on April 9, 2005.
The files are complete, they can be found at this link, the program can be streamed or downloaded.

I need to explore her music, but that it a bit pricey to start.

It is fun exploring archive.org and its live jazz offerings.
Last night I streamed the Gerry Mulligan Quartet at the San Francisco Jazz Festival 10-27-1995. Although he had only a few months to live, he sounds as great as ever.

When I identify one more song, I will add the set list.

As you all note rightfully Dionne was definitely his songstress.
I also loved Aretha interpretation of "Say a little prayer" - the definiton of a perfect pop song!
Finally I´ve been impressed by Elvis Costello´s album "Painted from memory" in honour of Burt Bacharach..Without those Bacharach melodies this earth would be a poorer.
RIP
PS @Ken Dryden: It would be nice if you could upload Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz with Bacharach! Please let us know.

I will take the Django Reinhardt.

A pretty fair price for limited edition sets that were $45 each new and pretty much all are out of print.
Glad I bought them when they were first issued.

Marian McPartland loved the arrangement he wrote of her song “Ambiance” for the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra.

If their cars are pre-installed with Sirius, at the minimum, they know how to operate one.
The sum total of my listening is 8-10 seconds of a Sirius commercial whenever I remove the media being used on the car stereo (CD or thumb drive).
We have had free trial offers of Sirius on the last two cars we bought and never activated them. Although retired after 26 years in public radio, where I still produce a weekly jazz show, I rarely listen to radio unless my wife is driving or Ian checking to see that the station staff loaded the correct program, which they have messed up at least once. There are far too many new releases and acquisitions for me to spend time listening to radio in the car.

Benny Green had some nice things to say about Walter Bishop, Jr. Bishop vouched for the teenager and called himself his “New York father.”

I never caught the Eagles bug and avoided their LPs. By the time of their emergence my focus was shifting to jazz and almost completely away from rock.
-
He appeared as a guest on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz. I may upload the show to archive.org if it is not still available to stream on NPR.

Just out of curiosity:
How does the "Bass Line" book compare with the "OverTime" book of Milt Hinton photographs? Overlaps of contents? Duplications? Or all differnt?
I don't recall any duplications, as I think OverTime was a follow up book that focused on photos not in Bass Line. There is also a third hardback book, Playing The Changes, that was published after Milt's death, that does duplicate some of the photographs from the first two volumes.

This book just arrived in the mail:
Ruminations and Reflections: The Musical Journey of Dave Liebman and Richie Beirach (Cymbal Press, 2022)
Two of my musical heroes.
I am in the process of reading this book for a review. I've enjoyed it immensely!

This is on the way from eBay. I paid $10.70 after tax and shipping...for a copy signed by Milt Hinton, Jay McShann, Buddy Tate and Rufus Reid.
I got a review copy when it came out and Milt Hinton signed mine during a Jazz Party.
$10.70 is a huge bargain, as I think it is long out of print and listed for around $30 to $40 when it was published.

Thanks for the tip. I haven't had any issues with CDRs getting scuffed up, but I usually print a booklet, so I can put each CDR inside the bifold booklet that I print.
-
Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Not sure exactly what type of sleeves you have in mind.
The above, which looks similar to inner sleeves used by Ogun and some Japanese reissue labels, are all over the place. The pic comes from Sleevecity site, but they've gotta be on Amazon, eBay and other sites as well.
I couldn’t find them on Amazon, maybe I was using the wrong description.

I have previously purchased clear plastic CD sleeves to store CDs that have a foldover flap to keep the CD in place. I can't seem to find any on line.
Any suggestions of where to look are appreciated.
I'm not a fan of the paper sleeves with the circular plastic window.

I have learned to use priority mail or FedEx with Dusty Groove. Chicago is one of the notorious phantom zones where packages disappear for weeks or months.

The bigamous lives of Charles Lindbergh and Charles Kyralt come to mind as well. Let’s not get started on politicians…

One of the first times that I interviewed Ken Peplowski in the early 1990s I asked him which vocalists he enjoyed playing with and Carol Sloane was the first one he named.
R.I.P.

I'm wondering the same thing. I took advantage of my writer's discount with Fantasy before Concord Jazz bought it and gutted their catalog, routinely spending several hundred dollars per order and getting a lot of what I wanted, though I missed a few things, too.

Denny Zeitlin shared his interpretation of Jimmy Rowles' timeless ballad "The Peacocks," with a peacock video by Bret Primack.
