Ditto. Lots of Phil Woods and the NY jazz quartet (Johnson, Hinton, Jones and Galbraith. )

As usual I'm confused. Has anyone seen anything available for download recently on either site?

Thanks for the offer. I went the Amazon 3rd party route. Supposed to get it in a couple of weeks. Here's hoping.

Who's Joe Primrose? I thought that Irving Mills had somehow claimed authorship of St. James Infirmary.

And great packaging. I wish all cds were packaged this way-- saves a lot of space on your shelf and still has a readable spine. ( Not as important as the music of course.)

Looks like streaming only. Even shows I once downloaded now seem to be streaming only.

I heard a cut from this which I liked, then went on Amazon where they said "usually ships in 2 or 3 months"! Anyone know somewhere else to get it in the USA? The reviews make it sound like something I need.

Just noticed that both cds, Treasury Show 23 and An Intimate Piano Session are announced on Amazon as available on March 17. The Piano Session is on iTunes now.

Yes it's good. I even like the vocals which are not to everybody's taste.

I first heard of the 1972 session when a friend of mine told me he had been present at an Ellington recording session . His brother was the engineer, but neither of them could remember the date. I eventually tracked it down and discovered that I had it on one of Sjef's Azure tapes. I made copies for them but the sound wasn't very good. They'll be happy to hear it's finally being released on cd.

Am I wrong again? Was there a Treasury Show after October 5, 1946?

Volume 23 is now listed by Storyville. I'm pretty sure that leaves only one more broadcast so I'm really curious about what the bonus material will be on Volume 24. Anybody got any guesses?

Almost by accident I came across this on YouTube: It was recorded shortly before Hawk recorded Rifftide and long before Monk recorded Hackensack. My question is why did they even bother to call it Lady Be Good? Didn't whoever wrote it (I'm guessing Mary Lou) want royalties? Also: were there many jazz recoding on Asch? I know about the first JATP concert but were there many others? BTW Robin G Kelly makes a half hearted claim for Monk pointing out that he and Williams often worked on ideas together. I OK I just found the answer to the second question: http://www.78discography.com/Asch.htm Google is our friend.

It did a lot of things I don't like in documentaries like using generic footage while talking about something specific. Nevertheless I thought it was great-- one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and I've seen a lot.

Saw documentary Chasing Trane at Santa Barbara Film Festival last night. Quite good, though it leaves out lots and at times is even a bit misleading. Most important it has quite bit of newly discovered footage of Coltrane. And the director claimed that it even has some newly found music: they discovered some of the 1966 Newport performance on the tail of a Charles Lloyd reel in the Warner Bros. vaults. (However I see in the Trane discography that it's listed as being released on what I presume is a bootleg label.) The film is a good introduction to Trane and has interviews with many musicians. (e.g. Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, McCoy Tyner and Sonny Rollins.) Though my favorite film interview about Trane is one in another documentary where Elvin Jones, looking like he really means it says, "He was a saint."

Do you mean more than what was in the lovely obit?

Curious to hear what you think of Paterson.

Yes. I went the cheap route with the Pioneers after I read only good reviews for them. So far they seem fine for my purposes-- in the living room, not the listening room. BTW How long should speakers last? All my others are 20 years or more old.

Am I right that a lot of stuff on this Lp has never been issued on cd?

Blue Note released a cd with everything from the Mosaic plus some exra Teddy Bunn sides, but the cd is out of print too though you can get it as a CDR from Amazon.

I agree. Drive is great, Falls is a misfire. (Now this conversation should make no sense to anyone.)

I found the size of the 2008 edition to be too large to be easily handled and perused. I believe that the original edition was a friendlier size. So was there another smaller edition since the one I bought? The 2008 one? And I don't mean the number of pages but the dimensions and weight of the book. The one I have weighs more than eight pounds.

Thanks.

hundreds not thousands.

After 20 years my Cambridge Soundworks speakers have finally given up. (Well at least one of them has.) Any recommendations for a pair of bookcase speakers used only for music (i.e. not movies or tv.)
