I'm seeing this described as a 60 minute TV film. Where were the TVs that got to watch this?, and when?

Ask the Washington Post! Seriously, while watching the local news coverage during the raining/flooding I was thinking that the citizen involvement was going to be the real story of this storm. For Katrina. you think of people trapped on their rooftops, for Harvey, I think of people in bass boats, air boats, and kayaks boating through their neighborhoods looking for people to rescue, because...why wait for help to arrive when you're already there and can provide help yourself? As the post article mentions, we're at a level of technology now that didn't exist during Katrina. It's heartening to read how a community (communities, actually, Houston covers a lot of ground and has a very diverse population) sensed the raw potential to form networks of real-time reaction and immediately took the initiative to get busy doing just that. It would be wrong to think that this type of jump-to-it-and get-it-done drive is an exclusively Texan trait, far from it, but otoh, it is something that a lot of us in Texas sort of feel as our birthright - do for yourselves so you can do for others when they need it. The greedy assholes who forget the second part of that equation corrupt this basic "Texas spirituality", but the citizens of Houston who got on the boats and took to the streets define it. So yeah - define!

Texans’ do-it-ourselves rescue effort defines Hurricane Harvey HOUSTON — As a torrential rain poured from the sky last Sunday, Keri Henry sat in her snug West University Place living room nervously checking Facebook. Floodwaters were rising, emergency lines were jammed, and people were posting desperate pleas for help: “Two elderly people trapped in a one story on their kitchen counters since noon.” “Seven people trapped in second floor.” Henry grabbed a notepad and began scratching down details, thinking she would connect the people in trouble with other Facebook users offering boats and high-water vehicles. Within hours, the 36-year-old freelance food stylist was running a one-woman command center from her sofa. “I see some people commenting on one post and other people commenting on another post, and it just clicked,” Henry said. “I had no idea what I was doing but no choice except to do it.” Henry was part of an unprecedented do-it-yourself relief effort that came to define Hurricane Harvey. After the storm blew into Houston, a remarkable network of boat owners with smartphones, worried neighbors with laptops and digital wizards with mapping software popped up to summon and support an army of Good Samaritans who motored, rowed and waded into dangerous waters to save family, friends and total strangers. Texas officials, in turn, repeatedly emphasized the importance of personal responsibility. They warned people not to call 911 unless their life was in immediate peril. The top elected official in Tyler County, northeast of Houston, told people not to expect a rescue if they defied evacuation orders. His subtle-as-buckshot words on Facebook: “GET OUT OR DIE!” Across Southeast Texas, police, firefighters, the National Guard, the Coast Guard and other agencies responded with immense force. But in a storm of Harvey’s sheer monstrousness — hundreds of miles across, lingering for days with bucketing rain that swallowed roads and initially kept rescue aircraft grounded — no government response could ever have been enough. So ordinary people took up the challenge. “The thing that’s been completely different from anything I’ve ever seen is the way the community has responded. I can’t explain to you how awesome it has been,” said Houston Police Capt. Yasar Bashir, who stood in a West Houston neighborhood last week watching a volunteer flotilla of boats rescuing victims. Police were working nonstop, “but we can’t do it all,” Bashir said. “It’s because of the citizens that we were able to get everyone out.” The citizen rescue campaign was made possible by technology that didn’t exist in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans....

He always was the sickly one of the two, right?

Taking advantage of advances in recording technology, he developed a distinctive “Elgart sound,” which emphasized tight choreography between the silky-smooth saxophone section and the rich, brilliant horns, to which he added two bass trombones. He lightened up the rhythm section, replacing piano with guitar, and cut back on improvised solos. “The end result was a conversation,” Mr. Elgart wrote in a memoir, “The Music Business & the Monkey Business” (2014), written with his wife. “The saxes spoke and the brass answered, then they all talked together. Having no doubles with clarinets, flutes, etc., in the reed section, the band had even more clarity.”

Check this out - live as hell, Venezuelan TV, 1979, Sal Cuevas, Celia, hell, EVERYBODY, on top of the world! After the interview, 2:36, approx., Reuben with FAS, live on Columbian TV, 1980...THIS guy, whoa... How much other stuff like this is out there?

What kind of film is/was this? Was it ever aired/shown?

The one (and only) commenter say Monterey 1970, and ok, but what were somebody going to do a sequel to Jazz On A Summer's Day? Also, is this the earliest documented version of "Chinoiserie"? More info here: http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.jots.200017821/default.html 60 minutes of footage? Where is all this stuff? Norman Abbott?

Check out this Cris Lobo cat! Lyrics! Phrasing!

Holy shit, why have I never heard of Eugenia Leon before?

think it's time to forget about trappings/setting/etc and just experience that voice as its own magnificent thing. however, there will also be bonus points such as this:

TRICK QUESTION - THE CORRECT ANSWER IS:

Jackie McLean Tadd Dameron Pat Summerall

Please, and thank you.

I don't think I'm going to have time this month to get one together for October, . Anybody want to cover?

Long game!

Maybe he was drug with AT and wanted to fuck with him? I listened really closely to the conversations, and Monk seems to know exactly what he wants. I think part of the problem is that the melody has a really strong downbeat, it lands hard on the one, and the drumming instinct, I think, is to also hit the bass drum on that one. But no, that's not what Monk was cueing. A couple of times he gets pretty math-specific about it. But playing with that pattern in my head...it could be though of as a slo-mo,variant of a "Heart And Soul"-type shuffle, one-and TWO-AND three-and FOUR-AND one-and TWO-AND three-and FOUR-AND, etch. Half that, stiffen it up, and the math is the same - 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 etc. When it comes to decisionings of things like time, I've give Monk the benefit of the doubt always.
