And I'm ok with that. Went when I as a kid, never took my kids, nor did they ever ask to go, even with being bombarded with TV ads every year. The marketplace speaks.

Heard this tonight from the DSO: Karina Canellakis conducts David Cooper horn BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 8 R. STRAUSS Horn Concerto No. 1 BARTÓK Concerto for Orchestra Now there was a good time!

So...if music only has "value" relative to its meeting the needs of an audience through an established industrial infrastructure, and if these guys had little to no work in the US because they were not meeting the needs of an audience through an established industrial infrastructure, Black & Blue was, like, what, welfare? Are any of those records on any charts anywhere? Were they ever? Where is their "value"? What, are we treating this type of music and these type of people like some kind of pet charity, alms for MY needy? Help the poor Black Folks whose own people have left them behind, WE will give them their "value" back? Seriously? I can tell you - Arnett Cobb had a Black (and most likely, Blue) audience in Houston for as long as he wanted one whether or not he made records for any damn body.

I actually felt bad about listening to it afterwards. KD just having a bad day, chopswise, simple as that. Kinda like when Willie Mays fell down chasing a fly when he was with the Mets, you don't want to see that, right? Only Willie was at the end of his career & KD still had some goods to deliver. all the more reason to just look away, really.

At least as early as 1944?

I don't know if either Barbara Carroll 70s LPs (the first for actual Blue Note, the second for United Artists) ever made it to CD. Not that you'd necessarily want them to, at least for my tastes. But there are those who might? Also not sure if The New Heritage Keyboard Quartet has come out yet...I thought maybe n Japan within the last few years, but am not sure about that. Mickey Tucker/Roland Hanna/Richard Davis/Eddie Gladden, less than the sum of its parts, but deep collectors/fans can find good reason to listen to it a few times. And hey, how many Marlena Shaws remain un-CD-ed? They're a mixed lot, to put it mildly, but always as a matter of setting, never of talent.

What era Blue Note LPs are we considering in this query?

Yes!

The only(?) single LP Mosiac!

I have Airto & NYJQ records on Salvation. Looks to be all American to me, a CTI subsidiary, no Japanese names or licensing anything involved. https://www.discogs.com/label/840008-Salvation-4

Pretty awesome to think about that being Ed Sullivan in 1952...who else was Sullivan having on in those earliest days?

She's Betsy. Are you?

Maybe also an interesting insight into the collective tolerance for imperfection in the pursuit of newer/deeper insight at any given point in time. Is WAR going to be an evolving thing as what it seeks to measure is bettter understood/defined? Or is it just all a bunch of made-up hooey from the ground up? It seems that it's currently useful enough that its evolution is, hopefully, all but guaranteed, but you never know...

Well there you go then. Proof of relevancy! Proof of worth! A life justified!

I'm not sure that a music board is the best place to place a non-ironic call to arms that the mechanics of decision-making be made a pre-requisite to a consumer's appreciation of the results...

Sales are just one part of the overall picture. Live work, yes, definitely. Airplay, yes, definitely. What musicians themselves were interested in, yes, definitely. What I like, love, actually, about this book is that it does not function to change any notions of what we already know/believe/whatever. Instead, it gives us more to know, enlarging the context, not redefining it. It's in no way a "revisionist" history, it's a broadening history! And yes, the title has a very specific timeframe that it considers - 1945-1975. And that's pretty much where it stays. Again, no lies. I wonder what Bob Porter thinks about George Howard?

There was some discographical speculation about "Spoonin'" & "How High the Moon" here, from 2005: And at some point, somewhere else, maybe, it was determined that one of the cuts on this one that was thought to be from one session was actually from another? Whatever it was, be careful in your assembly, because, in 2005 anyway, maybe not all of what was on this LP had been released on CD yet, maybe? Anyway, first McDuff album I ever owned, and it's always been one of those LPs I think og as a "one-sider", I put Side 1 on and nevr turn it over, no need to!
