Well put. Phil affected my jazz life in immeasurable ways. I had the privilege of listening to him for years as I drove to work. It is indeed fortunate that we still have his website to get needed fixes of Birdflight.

Just listened, coincidentally, to the one produced by Acoustic Sounds.

Steve Schwartz and Michael Fitzgerald have put together a discography interspersed with quotes. Some of those who helped are members here. https://jazzmf.com/art-blakey-chronology-and-the-jazz-messengers/

A documentary about Oscar Peterson — Oscar Peterson: Black + White — is coming to Hulu on February 15. Here’s the trailer.

I have tinnitus but don’t generally have problems falling asleep. Invariably I will nod off with the book I’m reading.

I never heard of BTS either. I figured it didn’t stand for Bacon Tomato Sandwich. Boy groups? No, thank you. I never stopped listening to CDs, or buying them. They’re still the most convenient way to listen to the music.

39. There was a thread about it a few years ago.

It all depends on how much you want to spend. I have a Nitty Gritty Vacuum Cleaner but it’s not inexpensive. I used to have a Studebaker and it did a nice job and it was only around $40. In the same vein is a Spin Clean but it’s a bit more expensive. In my opinion a wet clean is best but you can buy ones that just do a dry clean. If you look on Hoffmann you can find a lot of suggestions. Here’s a thread from a couple of years ago on cleaning records.

They all fit the bill!

Never heard of this before.

Last night I ran across a graphic comic book that Blue Note is producing with Z2 Comics called Enter the Blue. Z2 is the same company that published the Charlie Parker in California book.

I wonder if they have the authority to sell any prints now. I’m planning to go to a frame store as well.

He finally saw the light.

My first one was Hank, followed by the Morgan set.

The reverse is interesting: “Please return to Charlie Laurie.”

Received UPS shipping notice today. On @sidewinder question whether these were sold before 2000, I think I purchased my other prints before then.

Being one, I’m sure UMG would not be coming after you. They are concerned that you make copies for profit, not an occasional display. Moreover, it falls within the fair use exception. See Fair Use

That refers to making copies of your prints, for resale. Moreover, the fair use exception to the copyright laws does permit making copies for limited use.

I use a photo hosting service. If you’d like to send me the photos, please send me a pm and I will send you my email.
