  1. I saw her perform when she was in her 80s and to me she sounded just like she did on her records from the '60s. I loved it. (Of course now that I'm in my '80s I'm not as impressed with her age-- just her singing and personality. )
  2. "Three Shades of Blue". I'd promised myself that I wasn't going to buy any more books about Miles Davis (or Bob Dylan) but a friend was reading this and wanted to talk about it. It's pretty good. He seems to have read everything ever published about Miles, Trane and Bill Evans and done some important new interviews. (He does point out how all the sources contradict each other.) However, at one point he writes of the AABA song form: "two choruses followed by a bridge (aka channel, release, or middle eight) followed by an out-chorus." I've never heard of the A eight bars being called a "chorus" nor of the final 8 being called the "out-chorus". I always thought a chorus was all 32 bars. Is his terminology at all common?
  3. IIRC (and I often don't) California has a similar a"visual artists' rights" law.
  4. Yes but Ted was with her. It was a tank from her side too.
  5. I first heard of her when I bought biographical novel called "Waiting For Robert Capa". I'd bought it because I liked he title and the cover photo. It's pretty good. (I've also read a pretty bad "Young Adult" book called "One Last Shot" which is sort of a poem. ) Gerda died in the arms of Ted Allen a man I've met but before I'd ever heard of Gerda so I never asked him about her. A friend of mine who'd made a film about Ted told me she was the love of his life.
  6. I tried it and got this: This content isn't available right now When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
  7. Yes, I didn't buy these because I seem to have most of them on either cd or downloads.
  8. Does everyone know about this: https://www.otrcat.com/p/duke-ellington? As well as Ellington theres a lot of Basie, Goodman, Eddie Condon etc. You can buy cds, mp3 cds or mp3 downloads (which are incredibly cheap -$5 for 25 or so 30 minute programs). I just purchased 50 1/2 hour Eddie Condon Town Hall shows for $5. (Mainly for Pee Wee Russell). Of course you can also get a lot of old detective shows too.
  9. And the Angels Sing, 12th St. Rag, Miss Thing, Lonesome Miss Pretty, Bolero at the Savoy, Pound Cake, The Apple Jump.......
  10. Gotta admit I first heard him on a Lamberts, Hendricks and Ross Lp. Then noticed him on earlier Basie records. Saw him in a club when I moved to LA in '80. A pick up group with Bob Cooper tenor. Good stuff!
  11. Wasn't thinking fast enough.
  12. I saw a a few weeks ago at a Charles LLoyd concert. Even talked to him: asked him if they'd recorded the concert. His answer was that they record all of Charles's concerts.
