  1. Got a link for that, please?
  2. Still can't get WBGO 2 on my various Roku radio apps, but have found this out of St. Louis: https://www.stlpublicradio.org/jazz/ It's one of those HD stations. If you just go to 90.7/KWMU, it's regular NPR, albeit with classical music programming. If you want the jazz, it's the KWMU-2 thing.
  3. Yes, that was a long time before OJC, 1969. The point was simply that they could have OJC-ed THIS LP as well, since it has the full session.
  4. Prime Video has a surprisingly deep library of silents (and early soundies), at least for a dabbler like me. Prints aren't always the best, etc. But there they are, and there's even more available if you want to pay a few bucks.
  5. I'll be happy for some more Savory stuff, depending on what it is. But I really don't need the upcoming Louis set, and I'm waiting until the end for the Teddy Wilson, and will likely skip the latest Herman altogether.
  6. The only dialogue it has is after the breakdown to the intro of "The Man I Love", the hey rudy put this on a record ALL of it, how much more is there? They got all of it on this LP. When I bought it, my hifi had a mono switch, and I used it when I felt like it. It's less than an hour. Lot of music for an LP, for a CD, should be easy. But this whole OJC craze...sometimes there were later reissues that gave better value. This was one of them. They should've OJC-ed it at some point.
  7. Sunday matinee at DSO: Donald Runnicles CONDUCTS Kelley O’Connor MEZZO-SOPRANO Russell Thomas TENOR MOZART Symphony No. 38, “Prague” MAHLER The Song of the Earth (Das Lied von der Erde) This Runnicles guy, he gets results! It's the most engageable Mozart I've yet to encounter (and also the trickiest. And the Mahler was magical. "Life is dark and so is death." And there it goes!
  8. Official Physical and Digital Release Date Jan 25th, 2019 http://a-siderecords.com/records/the-newest-sound-you-never-heard/# I got something called Free Standards - Stockholm 1966 off a blog, but that was French Columbia. And then it came out again on Fresh Sounds, but you know, fuck them. But anyway, there this is!
  9. Viewed now, the premise seems quite surreal, and it is worth watching just for that. It plays out as it begins, one continuos flow of WTF?!?!?!? aka What Prime Video has is a 61 minute version that focuses entirely on Garbo. It's more than good enough, but reading about the film, only whets the appetite for a full(er?) edition that restores two(!!!) non-Garbo storylines that were apparently somewhat sordid, and resulted in a lot of controversy/banning/etc. No matter, Garbo here was 19-20, and quite the striking beauty, with a real sense of communicating through body language and, especially, eye acting. Sound certainly did not hurt her (LOL) but if that had not happened, she still could have been a star.

  11. Right, "John Lennon" will be the name of an airport. Tell me again how everybody remembers Fiorello La Guardia?
  12. http://nautil.us/issue/68/context/how-well-forget-john-lennon If you think the stuff you love is "for the ages" or anything like that...not so fast!
  13. Can't argue about that.
  14. Lonnie Holley - Mith Interesting....
  15. The sobering thing is when you realize that all your grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles are all gone. That's when you look up to see who'a at the front of the line now and you see that it's you.
  16. Just found out about this JApan-Only LP from 1977, which at the time was a very good idea: https://www.discogs.com/John-Coltrane-Gleanings/release/4425166 Notes Gleanings is a record compilation released only in Japan by Nippon Columbia in 1977. It is a collection of material dating from 1963 to 1965 recorded by Coltrane in the period in which he was under contract with Impulse! Records. The album was released only for the Japanese market. Released with obi and insert. Green ABC-Impulse label. Japanese pressing from 1977. Track A1 previously issued on The Definitive Jazz Scene Volume 1. Track A2 previously issued on The Definitive Jazz Scene Volume 3. Track A3 previously issued on The Definitive Jazz Scene Volume 2. Track B1 previously issued on The New Wave In Jazz. Track B2 previously issued on New Thing At Newport.
  17. I don't find it a joke at all, sick or otherwise, nor do I find it uplifting. I find it terrifying. Furtwangler's reading here is, to me, the sound of a man having being twisted in all directions and having one big silent scream of agony. I have a different edition than the one shown, one from Japan, one that is bookended by the radio announcer of the time. It is perhaps more creepy than the music is terrifying. I would want to share it to remind us that art alone is not enough to stop evil determined. That's a lesson that keeps coming back.
  18. My granddaughter loves it and I love here.
  19. fwiw, I do believe that you have been blessed. I also believe that you've shared the blessing, passed it on. Gotta be tough, losses like this. Just know that for us on the other side, it sure seems like you've done right with it. Thank you, and stay strong.
  20. Always have, at least someones with some of that some of the time. Not all of it all the time, that's for sure. I've known plenty of "quiet" people who get things done quite well. Substance over style! Even if it means getting somebody to do it for them so they can present it. I have a "type" for them - WEASEL. I avoid them at any and all costs.
  21. If I was going to align him historically...Gene Lees, maybe?
