I’d gladly pay $15 for this on CD, maybe a bit more even.

Very sad news, and as someone else said, 70 is very young in this day and age. RIP.

Geez Louise, that’s cheap, and basically exactly the sort of thing I’m most interested in from most uber-deluxe box sets, i.e. all the audio/CD content (and the DVD/Blu-ray/5.1 content is rarely of any interest to me at all). If only EVERY super-deluxe set came out this way (eventually), I’d buy a ton of them.

Was that a thought back when it was possible?

I’m sure she could have continued with the performance if she wanted to, but if the transgressor with the phone was literally in her direct and close line of site, I could see where that might be distracting or unnerving enough that any performer in that kind of venue might well choose to interrupt the performance to stop the distraction. This isn’t some rock concert, or coffee house performance. I’m willing to give Mutter the benefit of the doubt here. She’s the one immediately in the spotlight, and if she’d rather not see some unflatteringly shot recording of her performance becoming something uploaded to YouTube and available on view for years to come, then she’s well within her right to take action. I would certainly find something like that distracting, and given the Expected social contract, norms, and stated rules/regs of the performance venue and backing band, I’m not at all surprised that she stopped the show as she did. Perhaps stopping between movements might have been less impactful on the audience, but if I had been there, I would have immediately sided with the performer.

UPDATE: My wife and I got our new iPhone 11’s (128GB), and the transition was petty seamless. Upgraded to unlimited data, and our bill actually went down slightly. Got $5 each trade-ins on our ancient iPhone 5’s (probably more than they’re worth). The sales rep actually got us quite a deal, by putting us on a family plan with 3 lines (we have no use at all for the 3rd line), but it saves us $40 a month. Then after 30 months, we can drop the 3rd line and save another $25 more/month. Phones are an amazing improvement too.

Damn! Just time enough for a cursory glance now. Clearly I'm going to have to spend an hour digging into this sometime. What a treasure trove of info!

Not to take anything away from Joe Henderson's Blue Note output, but that Milestone box just keeps giving and giving -- year after year (since I got mine at full-price, back 20+ years ago).

Far as I know, I only heard Larry once — of all places, playing Sunday morning in church here in DC (Larry was from Baltimore, iirc) -- as a special guest-musician that morning. This was shortly after I moved to DC in 2011, and I chatted him up between services too. Seemed like an incredibly nice guy. I think he said the BN date with Jackie was his first ever studio recording, iirc. I rattled off 6-7 recordings that I knew his was on, that were favorites of mine (and this was before I had a smartphone to look all that up in an instant). He seemed to appreciate that his body of work was still known, and appreciated. RIP.

I’ve got (and actually found ) 8 out of the 9 DB issues Bertrand is looking for. But I seem to be missing 11/26/70, if anyone else has that one specifically. I can scan all the rest this week sometime, I hope.

Moments ago I just stumbled on a 200+ page dissertation about Joe Henderson, that I found entirely by accident searching for something unrelated. I haven't even had a minute to look at this thing - probably won't until this weekend. But I thought I'd start a general thread about Doctoral Dissertations (or other similar scholarly research), about jazz topics -- especially about specific musicians -- that are otherwise unpublished, or (even if published) not widely known. Anyway, here's the link to the one I just found about Joe -- and its title (and author) in case the link doesn't come through in the future... https://digscholarship.unco.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1380&context=dissertations UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN COLORADO Greeley, Colorado -- The Graduate School JOE HENDERSON: A BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF HIS LIFE AND CAREER A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Arts Joel Geoffrey Harris College of Performing and Visual Arts School of Music Jazz Studies -- December 2016

I'll try to look tonight or tomorrow night, I've not forgotten entirely. Just been swamped at work. I probably have all or most of the Downbeat articles.

Yeah, but if 1 in 100 kids dig it, then all the better!!

Can't stand Macs, or more specifically the Mac user interface. (Or I should say more specially what Macs became in the early late 90's and early 2000's. I used Macs back in college a lot (circa 1987-93), but by 2000 I could barely work one, once I stopped using them a lot more frequently. My Mom still had/used one, and then my Dad -- and trouble-shooting the damn thing for my Dad became increasingly impossible, simply because I could never figure out the damn UI. But I pretty much love my iPhone (or the interface), and it seems way more intuitive than other Apple products. Then again, my only smart-phone ever has been these iPhone 5's that we've had for 7 years.

Given that the word "alive" is specifically in quotes in the thread title... Tina Brooks -- though not by BN -- but Mosaic stepped up decades after the fact and certainly lifted his notoriety considerably (arguably by leaps and bounds). He's sort of a half semi-legendary figure now (by which I don't mean to damn him with faint praise, but I also don't want to overstate his overall notoriety either). But I'm sure he's WAY better known today (or at least 10 or 20 years ago), than he would have been but for the Mosaic.

I'm sure you're right about us not really needing the 256 GB. I just want to make up for my past mistake of only getting 16 GB last time! I use the dollar-a-month for 50 GB plan too (but only for the last year or two, finally). Not sure if that's backing up my wife's phone or not (we're on the same plan/account). She lost her iCloud password 6 months ago, and hasn't been able to get back into her account (because she could never get the verification notification to show up on her phone). We've both been plagued by extremely low memory (full memory) on both of these dogs of 16 GB phones, despite everything we've ever tried. We've deleted lots of apps, and I deleted all my music, and half my photos. And supposedly when you backed up the entire phone to/thru iTunes (to our laptop at home), then you could restore everything to your phone from the backup, and it would basically recover all kinds of unused/poorly used memory. Except I tried doing that 3-4 times (backing up the whole phone to iTunes, and then restoring), and it would NEVER free up any memory at all. I think I stopped trying after the 4th attempt. Last night my wife's phone said it literally had like 68kb free on the whole thing. I deleted about 10 apps she didn't use all that much, and I got it to jump up to almost 1 GB free, but even then, it's slow as a dog. And they've both been like that for a couple years now. So you can imagine my temptation to max out on memory.

My wife and I are still on our very first smart-phones, iPhone 5's (the most basic model, with only 16GB each, if you can imagine). I think we got them in January 2013, iirc. They both still work (kinda-sorta), but the lack of memory and ever worsening battery life (they both barely work more than an hour with continuous use) -- means they're both old as dirt, and act like it too. Then my wife must have dropped her phone sometime in the last month, because the screen on hers is starting to separate from the phone (though it all still works, again, kinda-sorta). We've been SAYING that we need to upgrade to new iPhones for about 2+ years now, and I think the time has finally come. As luck would have it, the iPhone 11 has just been announced -- and I think we're both going to spring for the lesser of the 3 different iPhone 11 models available (as opposed to getting iPhone 8's, which are still being produced). That's on the theory that if we're gonna use these new phones for a good 6 years (like we did our iPhone 5's), then we really ought to get about the best/newest ones we can. We have absolutely no need of the features of the top-tier iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max versions -- but some cursory comparisons between the "8" models vs. the basic "11" seem to really point to getting an iPhone 11. BUT, I'm torn between getting it with 128 GB, or maybe going whole hog and getting the 256 GB version. Probably my *only* motivation here, is to NEVER buy anything close to the minimum amount of memory in a smart-phone EVER again (as we did with our current iPhone 5's, with only 16 GB). Yeah, yeah, I'm sure we don't really need the 256 -- but if we're going to keep them for 6 years (or maybe if we're luck, 7-8, and it's only like $100 more per phone, why the hell not? (So I guess I'm asking all of you -- why the hell not?) (And yeah, I'm not counting the next 6-8 years with the same phone, until that chicken hatches -- I fully realize. But, what the heck? - these iPhone 5's have sort of lasted 6 years, so who knows?) We're probably going to go back to the provider (store) where we got our iPhone 5's -- which is the AT&T store nearest where I work. I presume the deals are all pretty similar from store to store, and all similarly competitive? -- is that right??? (I hate, hate, hate, trying to comparison shop stuff like this, because they make it impossible to compare apples to apples between different plans.) Anything I need to be wary of in all this?? We upgrade equipment like this barely once or twice a decade, so I'm about as green as they come in trying to navigate all the different deals, bells, and whistles associated with all this. Hell's bells, I used my old flip-phone cell phone for 10(!) full years, before I got the iPhone 5 that I'm still using now -- if that tells you anything. Any advice would be more than welcome. Thanks!! I imagine I'll need to 'up' our data-plan too, since half the reason we blow our data-limits only occasionally now -- is the (poor) performance of our ancient iPhone 5's. And I'm just SURE that when we get 11's, we're gonna go through twice as much data, without even trying.

It seems like I'm perpetually thinking it's still a whole month ago, and stuff from 6 weeks ago seems like 2-3 weeks ago (tops). Like it's already Sept. 18 -- and yet I feel like I'm barely ready for August to be over with (mentally) -- and wasn't it Sept 1st like just sometime last week? And November and December are even worse, with the holidays. It'll be the end of October, and then like in the blink of an eye, the week of Thanksgiving is next week, no wait, that already this week now. And then it seems like barely a week after I'm back, it's already almost time to fly back home for Christmas. And then in another blink, I've got deadlines related to the quarterly meetings I've got at work in late January. An individual afternoon like seem like it takes forever. So much so, even, that by the time it's over, that same morning (earlier the same day) can already seem fully like yesterday morning. I turned 50 this year, and I don't remember it being like this 10 years ago when I was 40.

This article dates from January 7th, 2019. Has anything more been said about anything specifically Blue Note related -- in terms of these efforts? Anything at all?

Very true (what a good singer Ben Orr was). But Ric was arguably the more unique voice in the group, and I'd certainly ague that was a critical part of the mix that led to their success.

My Mom did collect Green Stamps, in fact -- I'm almost positive. Wouldn't be surprised if a few even turned up my Dad's houseful of stuff (which is all getting cleared out next week).

The very first non-kids album I ever purchased was Heartbeat City (circa 1984, when I was 15). Such a unique-sounding band, that really was a hybrid of a number of different styles. One of my favorite discoveries in the last 15 years was this original **DEMO** version of "Moving in Stereo" from their debut. The final (finished) album version was super atmospheric, and this demo-version even more so. Thank goodness they were inducted into the Rock n Roll HOF just last year, and not a moment too late. Seems he was a good 5 years older than commonly known (at least from some other discussions I've seen online in the last 24 hours). His DOB was more commonly cited as being 1949, when it was really 1944 -- thus he was 75 (and not 70). Again, this is the original DEMO version of this song. RIP Ric.

I tried to do my part by only buying music that wasn't disposable.

Love that Television reunion album quite a lot. Like the OP, I was SUPER late to the party, and only got into Marquee Moon barely 12 years ago. Actually saw the current configuration of the band live here in DC a couple years ago. Great show! Really a unique voice, both literally and figuratively.
