I visited the Abbey Road studios when a friend was recording a soundtrack there. He was in a modern studio but took me to see the studio the Beatles used. (Studio 2?) They had kept it the same as it had been in 1969 so they had some sense of history. I don't think there was a gift shop at the time.

That to me is the worst thing about growing old: losing friends. In my case many of whom were younger than me. BTW Am I now the oldest one here at 83? And did anyone else here see Coltrane with the quartet?

So the Sarah Vaughn was the month before. (December 31st, 1944. At least that's what it says on the Smithsonian double Lp "Dizzy Gillespie: the Development of an American Artist, 1940-1946".

Date?

I saw him with what I think was the first performance of "Derek and the Dominos" at a fundraiser in London. (Can't remember the theater but it was on The Strand.) I once had an argument with someone who knew Mason and said that couldn't be true or he would have known about it. He picked up his phone and called Mason who confirmed my story.

I got this after reading this review: https://thebluemoment.com/2026/03/31/alto-voices-art-pepper-karsten-vogel/. Glad i did, but that is weird about Al Neil. Also I just noticed that there is a ninth number on disc three not listed on the cd, the the box, or the envelope for the disc.

I have several of his cds featuring big band (and singers) but only saw him live playing solo piano. Glad I was able to do that.

When I was growing up in New Brunswick Canada people (not me) would vacation in Ogunquit which is down your way I believe.

Well I'm 83 and I think you young people are complaining too much.

I remember when that film was almost impossible to find. Isn't it funny how we do that.

What music (if any) was on the version you saw? And where are you seeing all these films?

ha! I was one row behind you probably a few feet to your right.

Would have been hard to find me in that crowd. I was standing about 6 feet from Roscoe. I started a bit further back but as people left I could inch up.

Roscoe, Drumming, and Julian Lage. I also paid the extra to see David Byrne and Robert Plant. Enjoyed them both. I was happy to have gone to 4 shows a day and thought everything was worthwhile if not always to my taste. Loved Knoxville.

My father, who was not a jazz fan, brought Ambassador Satch home when it was first released. Hence it was one of the first jazz Lps I owned.

Shit this just reminded me that I saw her at The Cookery. I can't remember much about it. I better get that record.

Have you contacted Ted O'Reily in Toronto?

If you guys are at the Roscoe and Tyshawn I'll be the old guy with the white baseball hat featuring a Moose. Come say hello. I first saw Roscoe more than 50 years ago, then again a few years ago at the Ojai Music Festival.

IIRC (and I often don't) he posted here that his wife had had him involuntarily hospitalized. but that he's managed to escape?

Sometime late in the last century I accompanied Benny Carter to a concert given by the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band under the direction of Jon Faddis. Before the concert began word of Benny's presence reached the musicians and they began jumping off the stage to come over to pay homage to him. It was like going to a film festival with Orson Welles. For some reason the band had a conductor. After a couple of numbers Benny turned to me and whispered, " They don't need no fuckin' conductor."

He recently cancelled a concert in Santa Barbara.

How is the music? And what is the recording date? I'm looking at an Armstrong discography which is rather dismissive of the project but can't find this particular line-up. Doesn't mean it's not there just that I couldn't find it.

I love his (their?) first record especially "Not So Sweet Martha Loraine" but I'm sorry Fixin to Die Rag definitely borrows from Muskrat Ramble and Kid Ory's heirs were right to sue him.
