It's reassuring to confirm that the brains cells devoted to memory are still functional. The photo by Carole Reiff that I referenced is indeed in the booklet for the recent Chet Baker Barclay sessions. It is on page 61 and is a nice photo of Chet boarding the Pan Am propeller clipper at Idelwild Airport, September 4, 1955. The Carole Reiff Photography archive is in good hands with a professional in the jazz photography field, Kati Meister.
Here are the details regarding her credentials:
********************
KATI MEISTER
KATI MEISTER produces in film, television, and theatre. She is currently a Producer on Unnatural History, an animated children's TV series in development with Thirteen/WNET. She recently produced Lights! Action! Music! (a WLIW public television documentary on music scoring for the movies) and was the Associate Producer on two other PBS programs: a documentary (BBC co-production) entitled The World of Jewish Humor and the pioneering, interactive children's series, I'll Do It.
Kati's extensive film credits as a Supervisor of Research, Rights and Clearances include Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam (HBO); Saturday Night Live (NBC); The Original Max Talking Headroom Show (Cinemax); John Hammond: From Bessie Smith to Bruce Springsteen (PBS); Children of Woodstock (ITV, UK); Inside the Actors Studio (Bravo); Nichols and May: Take Two (PBS); A Comic Life: Steve Martin (Comedy Central); Atlantic: Hip to the Tip (Channel Four, UK); Tom Dowd and the Language of Music (Palm Pictures); The Argonomist and Man from Plains (Jonathan Demme); and Beah: A Black Woman Speaks (HBO). Kati has also lent her expertise to many feature films such as Woody Allen's Zelig, Broadway Danny Rose, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and Alice; Greg Hoblit's Frequency and Hart's War; Jonathan Demme's The Manchurian Candidate; Bill Condon's Kinsey; and Mel Brooks's The Producers—The Movie Musical.
In addition, Kati supervised Picture Research on the 565-page pictorial history of Atlantic Records, What'd I Say—The Atlantic Story, 50 Years of Music. She has shepherded several books to publication, including The Jazz Image, a history of jazz photography published by Abrams Books. She is also the Manager of the Carole Reiff Photo Archive, a collection of extraordinary jazz photos from the 1950s and 60s.
After graduating from Mount Holyoke College, Kati taught dance and then went on to become the first Executive Director of the Northern Berkshire Council of the Arts, where she was responsible for designing, promoting, and running a wide variety of arts programs for fifteen diverse towns in Northern Berkshire County.
In New York, Kati is on the Advisory Board of Dancing With Horses, a unique dance company creating dances for horses, equestrians and dancers. In 2003, she was a Producer on the First Annual Nightlife Awards, given for the best NYC nightclub performances in Cabaret, Comedy, and Jazz. Kati was the Co-Producer of the Theatre World Awards in 2006 and 2007.

I noticed a new thread on this forum regarding a new book in the planning stages to be published by Jordi Pujol who owns Fresh Sound Records. Obviously, the Reiff archive contains numerous photos of Birdland which would add greatly to this book. I hope that Jordi has established a generous budget for photos.

..you're kidding, right?

...Holliday with four hits tonight....Lugo with a triple and HR.
-
...the Cards pick up Matt Holliday from the A's for several prospects....will be a pretty nice improvement over Duncan!

Mark Buehrle pitches a perfect game vs TBYowsa! And to think they were looking to trade him. He's thrown a "regular" no-hitter before as well so he's in some interesting company. Like Steve Busby.
(No perfect for Steve, but 2 no hitters.)Hey, why no love for Bob Forsch???
He had 2 no-no's and he didn't exactly have Nolan Ryan's fastball either! Mark Buehrle pitches a perfect game vs TB...and a great catch by center fielder DeWayne Wise in the 9th inning to save a hit/homerun.... he had just entered the game for defensive purposes...what a catch!
m
Ha! Way to go Ozzie, genius manager!
My favorite highlight from yesterday(Well, next to the catch itself) was the reaction of the Phillies clubhouse after the catch...cameraman caught them hopping, and hollering, so excited, very cool!
I might go to the Pirates vs D-Backs tonightHope you can get still get tickets this late!
...loved Bob Forsch back in the day! Probably saw him pitch a dozen times.

...don't think I ever saw this thread before....love wine as does my better half. We've spent a lot of time in Napa/Sonoma as well as some vineyards in France/Italy.
I'll post some vineyard photos some time...not that anyone necessarily cares....though many of them are beautiful.

...have also slowed down on cd buying. Probably picking up more books these days and picking up some new camera equipment is taking it's toll. I probably go to more shows/festivals now than ever before and I've always gone to a lot of them. The expenses associated with going out of town to festivals (hotels/food/flights/cds) are out of hand and I guess the money has to come from somewhere and much of it has come out of cd purchases. I've also put on a couple events to benefit local Indy musicians and some of those funds come out of my pocket.

Happy Birthday Jan!!!

Our very own Mark Sheldon did the photography for the release. Has that been mentioned yet? How cool is that?
.....wow, you guys actually look at the notes...I'm impressed.
The shoot was fun; I tried to get Bobby into the wagon if only for one shot but he wasn't buying it. He was sure I was going to use it for evil
.....not that I would consider doing that 
. Resident jazz shrink Rob Viti attended the shoot last August and assisted; it was a makeshift studio in one of the rooms at Pete Millers during the off hours. I think Bobby has a nice distinctive sound that I like it alot. I've had the opportunity to see/hear/photograph the band lots of times and they are always a joy to see; a pretty tight unit. Dennis and Kobie are great guys as well. Apparently Sonny thinks a lot of Kobie having now played with him for a couple years and Dennis is a first call bass player around Chicago and the midwest...have caught him with a ton of players..saw him recently with McPherson as well.

The Bobby Broom album is great. Fortunately I've had a chance to see his trio a number of times at their Wednesday night steady at Pete Miller's in Evanston (which was just axed a few weeks ago, after over 10 years). My favorite tune by far is "Work." Bobby just kills it.
...the music is back at Pete Millers. If you were listening to these guys, you were probably the only one. This is one noisy place most nights with diners talking over the music all night....but at least they feature live jazz almost every night of the week which is great.

Is this style in or out?
...not as long as you're still wearing a mullett.

Yeah, good wishes from me too. The positive attitude to change is the key and is bound to pay dividends.
...what he said.....good luck!!!

...would love to do it.

Laurie did Art like playing in San Diego?
Art liked playing, period. Anywhere, anytime. He just wanted a crowd, because he worried about the club owner losing money and not having him back.
He sometimes scolded crowds for being so small. Seriously. I had to remind him that the people he was scolding actually DID show up. -
Man, I really like that set!
m
I have the Nelson Mosaic for sale for $80. The first two CDs have been listened to once. The other CDs are still sealed. Everything is mint. Shipping in the US would be $7 via UPS.Please Pm me if interested.
Thanks.

....Happy Birthday(a little late) Jack!!!

Killer Ray Appleton's set is nice if you like your bop hard.
Rotondi, DiRubbo and Hazeltine in the band.And I am definitely looking forward to next weekend's appearance, with Brian Lynch and Ian Hendrickson-Smith. I realized last night that with the video feed, I don't have to wait for the music to be added to the archive, I can roll Goldwave and catch it live.
...man, that's a dated photo of Killer...taken at the Jazz Kitchen down the street from my house; my home base for live jazz.
...generally Killer talks through half the set (his days with Coltrane, Wes, Freddie and others, how much Michael Jackson makes, how much the rappers make and how he makes too little
) but he's a great guy!m

Eric Ambler, Journey into Fear and The Light of Day bought used on amazon.uk for 1p each.
Ambler! There's another mutual interest, Bill.
Bought recently: Jeremy Ludkin, THE LENOX SCHOOL OF JAZZ. And got (as an anniversary present) this one, which I'm hoping to read this weekend:
...didn't buy a book today but a big fan of the WPA project. Here are a few images I took of an actual WPA mural in California. These are close ups of a much larger mural.

Has anyone else encountered this? I can't imagine that I'm doing anything beyond the usual with these things.
I have. But it ended up being the player.
...same here.

I see Wes' wife from time to time; I'll see if she recalls the next time I see her.

Around 1976/77 there was free concerts of free jazz organised in the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels every friday evening (we have seen there Steve Lacy Sextet, Misha Mengelberg, ICP, Peter Brötzman and alike).
One Evening, during a concert of the ICP, Han Bennink decides to throw on his drums some table tennis (ping pong) balls. Of course the balls bounce in the public who were sitting on the floor around the musicians.
The public was laughing a lot when suddenly two three spectators decided to throw the ball back to Han quickly following by all the crowd, at least by those who could find a ball. Under attack, The drummer take off his cymbal and try to protect himself from the bombing and, also redirecting the balls in the direction of the public with this improvising Shield... A great moment of total non-sense (if not of great music).
...here is a photo I made of Han last year...using his mouth as a drum....fun show!
