Got mine out here on the West Coast today.

I was there-- at least for part of it. I lived nearby and when i heard Lennon was flying over I grabbed my self-issued press pass and talked my way into the stadium. Saw Gene Vincent and Alice Cooper as well as Lennon, Clapton, Ono etc.

Great idea.

Yes, when I started reading about jazz in the late '50s Ahmad Jamal was definitely dismissed as a "cocktail pianist" and people were perplexed that Miles liked him so much.

It's an important document but it's also a great record-- despite it's very low-fi sound.

And he played arco a lot-- at least when I saw him post Miles.

I've never found this in print but in the early '60s someone told me that the rap on the first quintet had been "a cocktail piano player, an out of tune saxophonist and a drummer who played too loud". Don't recall hearing that anyone had bad mouthed Paul Chambers.

I found the Mosaic Jack Teagarden that way, then bought the booklet from Mosaic.

Thanks.

A collection of quotations from Monk alphabetically arranged by subject. It's in both French and English on facing pages. There's an introduction that I found difficult to understand in either language. The source of the quotes are cited and the authors admit that some are apocryphal but they're all interesting.

I see , think. The secret is to remove what's before https at the beginning and after pmg at the end. Thank you guys.

I've scanned a book cover, dropped it into Post Image and get this; [url=https://postimg.cc/jLdZnT6H][img]https://i.postimg.cc/jLdZnT6H/Scan2024-06-22-163953.png[/img][/url]. which doesn't seem to open. What am I doing wrong?

Is that the 45rpm issue?

I 'm of the belief that the first two shows were not actually Treasury Shows-- i.e not sponsored by the Treasury department until show 3. (Of course show 2-- the Roosevelt memorial show wouldn't have had commercials anyway.)

I like the "Afterhours" stuff too,

Ha! I'm too old to be a boomer.

Ahhh, didn't notice that. Was it on the Lp too?

Has that version of Harlem ever been officially released on cd? I've got it on Chronological Classics but it's not even on the supposed "Complete Ellington 1947-52".

Is one Lp mono and one stereo and they have some different takes? I have a vague memory of that.

There's a"Jazz Beat" release called "The Complete Ellington Indigos" with 19 tracks including several alternates, "The Sky Fell Down" and "Love (My Heart, My Mind My Everything"). IIRC the original Lp release had an abbreviated version of Autumn Leaves minus the part sung in French.

I'm presuming these are 12" records, but I don't see where the say this in their advertising. I'm tempted to buy it but I don't have a very good turntable and I already own 3 cd versions of "Ellington Indigos". (I got it from the Columbia Record Club when it was new and it was the first of the 100s of Ellington releases I've bought since.)

I just read about this. It's a two 12inch Lps to be played at 45rpm. Is this a thing now? (Makes sense, I guess.)

I'm 81 and still adding a bit to my collection. My wife (who's only 70) and I have begun trying to catalogue our things for our children (who don't want any of them) as to sentimental and monetary value. I guess I'd tell them to truck Cds (and the few Lps I still have) to Amoeba.

What year did 12 inch Lps become available and when did they become common?

How do you find the prices paid?
