Where can I get this?

He was devoting his life to it. I was hoping a consortium of several people could take it over and volunteered to help but got no takers. It was a big job. I've also tried to create some interest in putting the new DESOR on line and updating it via crowd sourcing to no avail. (In honesty I haven't tried that hard in either case-- just suggested it to a few people.)

Unfortunately DEMS (Duke Ellington Music Society) ceased operation with the death of the great Sjef Hoefsmith.

I notice that a couple of reviews on Amazon mention that discs 4 & 5 contain material from earlier performances and are not from The Crescendo. I can't tell when they're from but they certainly seem to be from a larger venue. (I'm not referring here to the tv show that is also included. Speaking of which I've been told that that Bobby Troupe tv show once featured Chet Baker playing Bix but that show is no longer extant. Arghhh.)

Well it seems fixed.

Quote function seems to be just ot working for me this morning. Maybe taking off July 4th.

I believe (and I could certainly be wrong) that if you want to advertise a concert of Richard Rogers music you need his estate's permission. Even if your name is Fred Rogers. Or especially if it's Roy Rogers. Well I expect it's equally true for Roy Rogers. Maybe that's why we see so few Sons of The Pioneers cover bands.

I think he's ok. A friend of mine in Seattle has become friendly with him and sees him fairly often.

A down.

In Sunday's LA Time's crossword 6 down is "Monk associate". I joke to myself that maybe it's Charlie Rouse but then try to think of who works at a monastery besides monks. After a few letter are filled in the answer is "Coltrane".

I don't really know but I think you need permission.

I think (I'm far from sure) that you can play whatever you like but you can't use Frank Zappa's name in advertising (nor the Beatles for another example) without getting permission. This gets weird with Dweezle of course. HE can probably use his own name but not Frank's without permission. BTW I still have a 3 inch cd (remember those?) of Peaches en Regalia.

No idea. I'd never heard of him at the time and don 't know what he was doing there. IIRC John Gilmore was with him.

Summer of 1961. I'd just moved to Montreal. Coincidentally everyone I did see is in the middle of your list: Ellington-Diz.

Ditto on all 3. And Red Garland. Also never saw Coleman Hawkins-- maybe my biggest regret-- or Chet Baker. Can't think of anyone else important. (I'm not counting anyone who died before 1961 since I only started seeing live jazz then. ) Think the first important jazz musician I saw live was Sun Ra. He had a quintet, it was August and he played The Christmas Song.

She sat in with the Gil Evans Project last month at The Jazz Standard.

And that's rentals which means it would have done $4,000,000 at the box office.

IIRC on Treme there were hints about this with Mayfield playing himself.

Now there's two names you hardly ever see together.

PM me your e-mail address and I'l try to do it. Will probably be easier to photograph it.

IIRC Hines' quartet with Budd Johnson on tenor was touring in the summer of 1965.

This is worth watching; tells you a lot about Ali.

You convinced me. I jut ordered. It's $28 from Amazon, but $12 plus shipping from a US 3rd party. Much as I like instant gratification I think I'll wait a few extra days to have it delivered and save $14.

I'm curious: What's on the "Side Tracks" compilation?
