sounds like they might not have been looking very hard.

So, this, still.

...but rights and ownership are not the same thing...

If anybody's got the VGM side of Miles in St. Louis (1963), there a brief filler cut of Herbie "we call him 'Oatmeal' because he's done in three minutes" Hancock playing "Like Someone In Love" with a trio (Cleveland Eaton, Theodore Robinson), recorded in 1961 (June 24th, to be exact) that may or may not show a Chris Anderson influence. I don't know, but it's there if anybody who might wants to see.

Best bet overall is EMS(? - I forget exactly). It's the second-most pricey option), but things routinely get here in 7-10 days. Another option is to inquire at Dusty Groove. They have connections for some things and might can get it for you at less price. But that's a BIG lot of ifs.

Bud Powell? In an essentially diatonic-based harmonic system (albeit one full of chromatic substitutional possibilities) & a rhymic world based on pushing and pulling over a steady 4/4, yeah Bud is about as much God as can had on the piano, which is to say that, yes he is one of the VERY few. But...

I'm wondering who owns Flying Dutchman now.

And suck your eyeballs out in an excruciatingly painful slurping action! If you had the glasses his comment would jump out of the screen at you. And suck your eyeballs out in an excruciatingly painful slurping action!

Yeah, shit I forgot about Satchel Paige. One should never forget about Satchel Paige.

I, too, can vouch for CD Japan. They also carry a full selection of Japanese media, not just jazz CDs. So if you have interests beyond jazz, it's a good place to get curious. My daughter is into a lot of that stuff, it was she who hipped me to the site.

This IS Pink Floyd?

are you in the men's room again? Shoes for industry!

Bill Veeck, the man who presented both Larry Doby and Eddie Gaedel... Only in America?

Let's put our dogs in eggplants and our TVs in spacesuits!

I don't know this part of the history as well as I'd like, but was Larry Doby going to roll out with the Indians no matter what happened with Robinson, or was there a "wait and see" thing going on there?

If it's something I have on older LP or CD or a dubbed copy, and it's something I know I'm going to want to hear more of as the years pass, I'll get a Mosaic, just to have better quality sound than I currently have and/or to own legit copies of the material and/or to have it on CD, so I can use my remote control like a big shot and feel like I've made it in the world. And sometimes I'll spend the money just because that Jimmy Fallon commercial came on and he really did make it rain up in hyeh.

I miss space.

Wasn't referring to you, Larry, not about the "worrying" part. I don't get how Herbie Hancock is less "authentic" than Muddy Waters. Both just be who they be, Herbie the gifted college-educated musician with the electrical engineer's penchant for curiosity and tinkering, Muddy the son of the Delta who knew what it meant to pick cotton, etc etc etc. I don't see how one is more or less authentic than the other. If I wanted to raise crops to feed my family, I'd want somebody like Muddy. But if I wanted to design an automated irrigation system for them, I'd want somebody like Herbie. I can understand "preferences" based on both reflex and bias, but to conflate that with "authentic feelings", I mean, whoa... Sorry, Herbie, you're a creative son of a bitch, and you do all kinds of shit and some of it's been really great and some of it's been really shitty, but sorry bro, you have inauthentic feelings, so...fuck you. Anybody wants my seat on that train, they can have it..

Now that's middle class! Except when it's not...

Which of course has little or no connection with the authenticity of the lives of other people let alone the authenticity of the lives of other groups of people, such as they may be. "No man is an island...' You can't worry somebody else into or out of "authenticity". That's for them to do themselves, if they become so concerned. As far as "authentic feelings", geesh, there's a job for a new breed of thought police.

I think the only authenticity one needs to really be concerned with is that of one's own life. That's pretty much a full time job right there, although there is room for recreation and light entertainment in the off hours. See your manager for details.
