    I think it comes to about 70 recordings including some that were unissued.

    I had exactly the same response to Infinite Jest. One of the few books I've never finished after reading 100 pages. (And I love Pynchon). Also agree about MacDonald.

    The Harrod book Ghost references lists the extant shows and the Lp releases. A brief comparison of the 2 suggests that a lot-- but not all-- of the Lps are from shows that no longer exist (as far as we know right now).

    Matthew Whitaker

    medjuck posted a topic in Artists

    Saw the Alvin Ailey dance troupe a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed by the opening number "Finding Free" which had music I'm presuming was written specifically for it by Matthew Whitaker. I really liked the music but listening to some of his albums on Spotify do not find them nearly as interesting. Anyone here heard him recently and have an opinion?

    I have both volumes. I think Peter Losin's presumption that there was more music than that released here is based on the brevity of the last set. I'm not sure but I'll ask him. Stardust is, I believe, the entire song but it's a feature for Stitt with no Miles.

    Rick Moranis said that they were once planning a sequel: "Spaceballs 3-- the Search for Spaceballs 2".

    I'm surprised that no one has discussed the Mingus. I really like it. the liner notes led me to expect the bass to be almost inaudible and the bass playing to be weak. I didn't find either to be true. The ensemble playing is really tight (though I may prefer the looseness of the old Workshop recordings) and Danny Richmond is his usual kick ass self.

    Andy Bey RIP

    medjuck replied to mjazzg's topic in Artists

    IIRC he used to perform with "Andy and the Bey Sisters" in Toronto in the '60s.

    What does this refer to?

    Hey, me too!

    Some but not a lot.

    I have. So has Miles '65. (I'm presuming you mean the irregularly held Ellington Conferences. There is no international Ellington Society. The conferences are put on by individual groups from different countries. I don't think there's one scheduled at the moment. )

    Thanks.

    There's a cd of that with Bird's performance added.

    Isn't the one I listed a different record?
