Previously unpublished photos celebrating the Armistice, whose 100th anniversary is tomorrow. It was the “War to end all Wars” but it merely set the stage for an even fiercer conflict. Crowds celebrate the end of WWI in Place de la Concorde in December 1918. American troops in London’s great Victory Parade passing through the Admiralty Arch, Aug. 17, 1919. The joy of this British officer was too great to be cribbed, cabined and confined to a taxi cab, Nov. 17, 1918

Fascinating movie. Niven won Best Actor. Wendy Hiller Best Supporting Actress.

Thanks all for the answers. I suppose there are more tapes but not all were released.

Here's another review of The White Album, from the New Yorker, The Accidental Perfection of the Beatles’ White Album Famous last words

Hope this doesn’t sound like a dumb question but a few cuts in the set are denominated alternative takes. How do you have alternative takes in a live recording, especially one that has never been previously issued. Aren’t they just songs played during different sets?

Near Jockey Hollow, NJ where Washington and his troops spent the winter in 1779.

Years ago I purchased and listened to A Jazz Hour With Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge and remember liking it.

Ditto. Good listening. I emailed the label about the extra track on the download not on the cd set. Their reply seemed (to me) cryptic: “The full audio from the tapes would not fit on the chosen format hence additional passes.” They later said “additional passes”means “everything that was on the tapes.”

Francis Lai, who wrote the theme to A Man and a Woman has passed away. He also wrote the highly successful theme to Love Story. Obituary

Can you elaborate. I might be persuaded to buy it if it’s really great.

I ordered the Magnarelli Tadd album; I’m a sucker for anything Tadd Dameron: Mad About Tadd by Continuum is one of my favorites.

It’s not a set I need or want.

A review by Jon Pareles in The New York Times of the 50th anniversary release of The White Album: Deep Inside the Beatles’ White Album, 50 Years Later

I’m up to disc 3. C Jam Blues is awesome and although I’m not one who usually goes for long drum solos, Roy Brooks’ solo is terrific. I wonder if this set will have a residual effect of leading to more purchases of the Mingus Mosaic set.

I can dig it

Probably done by some corporate type.

Jazz Wax review: Charles Mingus in Detroit 1973

Have a good one Paul

There’s nothing to prevent a person from making a cd of the track for a friend or a few friends. I have no idea what the “wild” means.
