Maybe I misunderstand (I often do) but shouldn't you order them before they're back in print to encourage them to print them? There's no risk since they don't charge you until they ship.

I thought his breakthrough film was Wild Seed which made a bit of a splash in its time, but no one I've read is mentioning it.

Sony? (Which owns Columbia and RCA I think.)

Huh? I get a couple of e-mails a week. Don 't you get The Sunday Gazette?

I bought something from them (can't remember what). It went fine. Used Paypal so no security problem.

Ok You guys have convinced me. Just ordered it. (The Threadgill, that is. Elgin is referring to B. Frank's post but somehow when I hit quote it only brings up Elgin's reply.)

I was really happy with the Town Hall Concert. My wife and son liked it too. Did Terrance Blanchard play every number? (the trumpet player in NY only played did the first half of them. Also did Ibrahim comp at all? He didn't in NY.

How do they decide when to repress back order sets? I presume that they wait until they have enough orders. So if you're interested you should order now as there's no risk since they don't bill until they ship.

I don't think tape was used on The Tonight Show until 1959. However there may have been kinescopes which can't be erased. Doesn't mean they still exist.

I once visited Chertok at his apartment on (IIRC) Riverside Drive to discuss putting out some of his films on Lazer Disc (speaking of media becoming obsolete. I believe that most of his collection is now held by Mark Cantor who is still cataloguing it so he may find some pleasant surprises. Lon, what's the next set? Teddy Wilson? I couldn't find anything under "Upcoming releases" on their website.

No I don't. I inferred it from something I read on a usually reliable source -- this forum IIRC.

This has never come out on cd ( I transferred it to digital to have it always available.). Wouldn't it be great if it got released on cd with the rest of the concert. Charlie Haden always pointed out that he played on this when asked about how he moved from Ornette to his later work.

I think lots of interesting people played there: Marlene Dietrich, Duke Elington (though that may have been the King Eddie-- I'm not near my reference materials to check it out. Just found this in Wikipedia: "Famous legendary performances by popular entertainers included: Marlene Dietrich on her farewell tour, the last performances of Johnny Hodges with the Duke Ellington Orchestra...Count Basie, Woody Herman, Pearl Bailey, Eartha Kitt, Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald, and the first appearances doing comedic impressions in 1982 of future Canadian star, Jim Carrey." I have to admit I was never there though I lived in Toronto for 15 years. Apparently they once refused admission to Bob Dylan for not wearing a tie so they probably wouldn't have let me in even if I could have afforded to go. ( I was refused admission to the Colonial Tavern once for wearing jeans when I went to see Ornette Coleman! Had to wait till I moved to Santa Barbara to first see him.)

By the time I got to see her live she was in a wheel chair. It was at the Hollywood Bowl and she shared the bill with a large Benny Carter orchestra. So glad I went. The only time I've ever paid scalper prices. My late friend Josef Skvorecky, a Czech novelist, got into jazz because he heard Ella singing A Tisket (sp?) in the late '30s. After the Russians invaded in '68 he ended up in Toronto and finally got to see her in performance at the Imperial Room in The Royal York Hotel. (This story always makes me happy. )

I'm sure it will be available. Ron Mann executive produced it and I'm seeing him tomorrow. I'll ask when and where.

He worked on a film magazine with me many years ago. Last time I saw him we attended a Benny Carter club date together.

I've got tickets.

I have to admit I'd never heard of him but I'm not much of a Deadhead. And how is he a "Jazzman"?

LA Times puzzle today "Jazzman Saunders"-- 4 letters? (I've found the answer but am I the only one who would never get this? )

I used to listen to Ted's show on CJRT. It was terrific.

I first heard of and heard Lenny Breau when I was walking down Yonge Street Toronto with Zal Yanofsky (erstwhile guitarist with The Loving Spoonful) when Zalman stopped pointed to a sign in a music store window and said "Lenny Breau's giving a demo-- we gotta go in. He's a great, great guitar player!" So we went in and I got to hear Breau for the one and only time in my life. I've since bought a cd and also have also heard him played on Randy Bachman's radio show. Zalman was right (as usual).

Also, the concerts have never been complete on Lp or cd. (Not sure recordings of the complete concerts exist. )

As ins William Claxton?

You're right. I can't keep it straight anymore. So I guess I'm asking how many of the 97 tracks are not Okeh or Victors.( I guess I could just go through DESOR and count for myself but you seem to have this information already.)

What (if anything) does Sony control besides the Okeh and the Columbias? And has any of it except the Okeh's ever appeared on cd? (Ignoring the Masters of Jazz and Classics releases. )
