  1. I gave up trying to buy a copy of the Teddy Reig book and got it from the library. It is a fun read! One question: how was/is his last name pronounced? "Reeg" "Rige" "Rague"??
  2. True, though I bet Morganstern has nominated a few.
  3. Well, yes he should, since he was one in 2007!!
  4. Yes, well, for whatever reason, if she comes back to Portland, I hope she offers some performances here!
  5. Saw The Menu yesterday. Not for every "taste," but I thought it was (darkly) very funny.
  6. I posted in this topic back in May, but I've managed to find both sets since then, and I was listening to disc 5 of the Brown set when I saw this thread had popped up again! They're both fun sets.
  7. I got it in Paris way back in 2002 when the euro was at around 78 cents to the dollar. Bringing it back was definitely a challenge! The JIPs do indeed occupy their own space!
  8. Now on disc 5 after a hiatus.
  9. Jeez, I leave for just THREE weeks on a trip.........!
  10. One doesn't hear jazz accordion very often, but Pete Jolly plays a lot of it here.
  11. Between $350 and $500. It's a valuable set.
  12. Just watched the movie for the first time recently. Sonny's playing on the soundtrack was a highlight!
  13. Nice Butterfield tuba on this one.
  14. I really liked that one. Viola Davis gives another oscar-worthy performance.
  15. That's very kind. I still remember the first time I heard him. I'd just bought this BYG LP (a French issue of some Savoy stuff). I put it on, and his trumpet just exploded out of the speakers of my old little portable stereo record player. I've been a fan ever since!
  16. My avatar speaks for me. Fats was truly fabulous.
  17. Yeah, that happened while I was in Europe. I came home with way too many new things!
  18. Yeah, not exactly Tony's favorite album!
  19. "Wave" is a tough song for any singer. Sinatra also struggled with that low note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIrNtAq-t8w But he did sing it at a better tempo!
  20. Dizzy is slightly off mike on this one, but still very fine.
