When were you born? I was born in '43 and I was too young to have appreciated West Coast Jazz when it was new.

i.e I saw it in VistaVision.

Thanks. I got worried that I didn't have it but I see it's on Classics 1015 (1946) which I do have. And what are the 4 tracks that have never been reissued?

Whaat's the source of the Deep South Suite?

Thanks. IIRC (and again, I often don't), Vertigo was also shot in VistaVision and I saw it screened at the Academy's Goldwyn Theater several years ago.

I'm gettin it just for the Basie. I expect I already have at least some of those that but I presume this will be with better sound.

Where'd you see it in 70mm? (IIRC-- and I often don't-- it was shot in VistaVision.)

Not sure that all streams are available for download. However there are programs which will record anything playing on your computer. (I use Audio Hijack-- when I can remember how to make it work.)

Got a nice plug from Evan Iverson on Substack today.

Do the labels create the metadata?

I've got the Joe Sullivan. PM me and I'll send it to you.

You are right. My fault-- even though i tend to buy BluRay I still call them DVDs. Is there a reason some people prefer DVDs?

I've just learned of some family medical issues that will make it impossible for me to do February. Sorry to leave everyone in the lurch. I hope someone else is able to pick it up.

Criterion has reissued Charlotte Zwerin's film "Thelonious Monk Straight No Chaser" on DVD and it's 1/2 price at Amazon right now. I remember when this was out of print and they were asking big bucks for a used DVD at Amoeba.

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!
