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.

IIRC (and I often don't) The Song of the Hawk can almost be used as a discography as he discusses every major recording session.

Thanks.

I'm in Lisbon and was visiting a huge bookstore when I saw a sign pointing up a flight of stairs saying " Jazz Messengers". Of course I went up and it was a great selection of Lps with a pretty good cd section. I asked if this was the "Jazz Messengers" who shipped overseas and they replied that they ship from their store in Barcelona. Is this the organization many people here buy from? I've been having trouble posting photos (due to ineptitude) but i took some and when I return home I'll attempt to post them.

I just got the Mosaic e-mail announcing it.

Do we know this was a V-Disc?

Looks like the film might have been slightly "undercranked". i.e shot at less than 24 frames per second. Hence the slightly speed up look (e.g. Dizzy walking across room).

I once drove from Toronto to Montreal to see Tim Hardin, maybe with this group. He was great but on this record the backing musicians almost upstage him with their power. I better listen to that Richie Havens record.

I have tickets, I have a hotel room: God willing and the creek don't rise (a serious concern where I live), I'll be there. (Tho I don't have airline tickets yet).

I guess this includes the publishing rights on Four. Actually Miles didn't own publishing on that many songs. I expect the records royalties are worth a lot more.

Thanks guys.
