Those are the ones. IIRC there are no new songs with Christian but several unreleased performances. The jam session with Prez that was done for a radio show is terrific.

The Goodman estate has kept some very important broadcasts from being released including some with Charlie Christian and Lester Young (not together) from the Savory Collection. I wrote their lawyers an e-mail and actually got a response. They're just being jerks . As I mentioned in my e-mail to them, they're even leaving money on the table in that- deservedly or not- Goodman's name is listed as composer on many of the compositions and jams so the estate would be paid for any broadcasts or streams of the material.

I don't quite get Kay Kaiser either but as Krin Gabbard points out in "Jammin' at the Margins": " In the early 1940s, Kyser was one of the two or three most popular bandleaders in both record sales and popularity polls, often outdrawing Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey, not to mention the black bands." However a paragraph later he adds "But then, perhaps Kyser did not play jazz."

Just listening to Sam the Man on some cuts from Cootie Williams' band. Didn't realize he had such an extensive jazz and R&B background before going to Hollywood.

I didn't see that listed. However I recommend "Me and the Mob and the Music" by Tommy James in which Levy is a central figure.

I really liked his voice when he read the stories submitted to NPR's National Story Project.

Miles seems to have had Chambers' book in hand when he did his "autobiography".

Just got an e-mail from The Lost Recordings: John Coltrane: LIVE IN FINLAND 1961 • 1962. Is this really previously unreleased?

Shit! I just noticed this. He was great. I really missed him when he stopped posting. Now aI guess I'll never be able to thank him for all the knowledge he brought here.

Got mine today!

Bob Dylan cites this record because of Ella Speed in his weird "autobiography".

So if we order this from Bandcamp do we have to pay tariffs on it? And is there a delay because of that?

I'm up for February if available.

What is that? The Japanese release? I don't recall ever seeing it.
