Bright Moments

just don't ask to see my "O" face!!!

then the photo dates prior to february 1947 as the spotlight was closed by then. since charlie was in california in 1946 i am guessing that the photo is from early 1945.

well?

how about some specifics folks, where russell's "fiction" varies from the "facts?"

i'm currently reading (and enjoying) "bird lives! the high life and hard times of charlie (yardbird) parker" by ross russell (founder of dial records). is this the best parker bio out there?

sparrow's last jump was a prize winning short story written by elliott grennard and published in harper's magazine in may 1947. it is supposed to be about charlie parker. can anybody help me find a copy? i would love to read this! as always, a huge thanks in advance!

whatever happened to gary?

The pilot broadcast of Legends of Jazz will air tonight (6/16/05) in most markets on PBS and throughout July and August. This is the first of 14 programs that will be aired representing the first jazz series on television in nearly 40 years. Tune in and enjoy. The first episode includes Nancy Wilson, James Moody, Jon Hendricks, Paquito D'Rivera and George Wein.

cool!

nice job shane! thanks!

actually (and i think even mike will agree with this) THE bela fleck cd to pick up is "perpetual motion"

this is an expensive board. i got hooked for the mobley, the blue mitchell & the leo parker. someone should grab the griffin. the congregation for 6.99! WOW!!

can RVG's treatment of the tapes be that different to mosaics? does the rvg add previously unreleased material?

if you have the cherry mosaic, is there any reason to get the RVG?

The question is--for me, at least--whether "Doubletime" was actually a discrete series of issues for BN (a la RVG or Conn), or was merely the designation they briefly gave to any 2-CD set issued in the mid-90's: I had always assumed it was the latter. ←

happy birthday kevin!

happy birthday!!!

i just discovered the blue note doubletime series with Joe Henderson's The State of the Tenor volumes 1 & 2. "2 cd's one low price" did blue note put out any more doubletime cds?

missed this the first time around. has to be "bags", the FIRST bebop vibes player!

And Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla! Blossom Dearie's singing "Unpack Your Adjectives!" Cool! Never knew that! My son and I performed that song at a talent show years back, he sang while I played guitar. Great memory, that one! ← and blossom dearie singing figure eight!!! how about that elliott smith?!
