We are all waiting with bated breath!

I received an email from CD Japan this morning announcing hi res CDs from Universal. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/feature/Worlds_First_HiRes_CD_by_Universal_Music_Japan?utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=text-artistmail&utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=text-genre&utm_campaign=JazzFusion_HiResCD_20180424

Disc 1. Picked this up at the Open House.

I think that will work computer to computer but but not phone to computer. I think the USB on the phone is just for charging.

I’ve always loved his music.

I know that feeling. I went through my cds this weekend and I have a stack of discs I have to post for sale. Probably do it later tomorrow.

David, I will buy the George Wallington Cafe Bohemia date.

Glad to help

Greg, then it was worth it

Since you’ve emailed it to yourself open the email on your computer, select the photo and then by right clicking “save as” you should be able to save it on your computer.

I had this recording in my car years ago but couldn’t find the cd. When I sold the car, I threw away the case, figuring the cd was lost. Lo and behold, I was reorganizing some cds yesterday and found it! Just played it. First time in years

The only thing that I can find — and it seems the same sentence is repeated throughout the internet — is that he served as her accompanist for some indeterminate period. The Jazz Discography Project doesn’t show any recorded sessions.

Bringing this up again, for those who may have missed it, especially since the link in today's Jazz Gazzette from Mosaic didn't work (at least for me).

Bob, I think you can still find the Complete Mercury Recordings.

They are phenomenal. I belong to their book club. I’ve received very few books from them that weren’t interesting and many of the books I received I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. I first got started with them when I picked up Zweig’s Beware of Pity (a great book; his only full length novel) and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Better get your orders in. You have 3 days, 6 hours and 42 minutes left!

A mere bag of shells

In yesterday's New York Times New Archive of Concerts and Interviews from International Jazz Festival in Bern "The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem has received a vast new archive of concert footage and interviews covering 20 of jazz’s most underexplored years. The Jazz and Blues Art Box comprises 230 concerts and 96 interviews, all filmed at the International Jazz Festival Bern in Switzerland from 1983 to 2002. It contains performances by most of jazz’s biggest stars from the era, including Sonny Rollins, Sarah Vaughan, Wynton Marsalis and Dizzy Gillespie. Each of the concerts was originally broadcast on Swiss television, and is rendered here in full. The DVD collection, which comes in a nearly-four-foot-tall black cabinet, was donated by the jazz impresario George Wein, who served as an adviser on the art box project."

Terrific book. I’ve read all her stuff that is available in English from NYRB Classics and recommend them all.

There’s one on eBay at a reasonable price but it’s described as VG and missing one disc.

I saw this tonight. Incredibly well done but ultimately tragic in that you know what awaits at the end of the tunnel. In the end what you are left with is the music. After the death of an artist, no matter how that person passes, you are left with their art. It also reminds you of the folly of guns. Just too many damn guns in this country

I heard How Insensitive from Slick! today and it wasn't something that appealed to me. Too 70ish.

Disc 3.
