Congrats to both of you. (Especially to Ann for putting up with Chuck.)

Anyone else notice that although the notes say that Sweet ad Lovely (12/4/47) is by Dexter Gordon the discography indicates it's by Teddy Edwards.

I've been playing this a lot. Love it.

That's explained in post 30 but I'm curious about the thanks to Bill T Jones and Jac Holzman. BTW Record is really good.

stan hasselgard "be-bop king of sweden" with chuck wayne and max Roach? rest must be gene di novi and clyde lombardi. must be from September 1948. Keep boppin´ marcel and another one: Thanks. That's impressive that you figured it out.

On page 19 of the booklet there's a photo of Bird in front of a 3 Deuces sign advertising" King of S........Sta(n?) .......Ssel Quintet." Bird is blocking the rest of the sign. Who was playing there? (Booklet says the photo is from 1950.)

From Jazz on a Summer's Day? Ahhh. The Sound of Jazz. Monk later complained about Count Basie staring at him.

From Jazz on a Summer's Day?

I hear it's pretty good.

And many more.....

Saw the Spiegleman show at the AGO today. I was very interested after having seen his great lecture with music entitled "Wordless" in Santa Barbara. Problem was that I went to the Alex Colville show at the AGO first and that knocked me out so much it was hard to look at anything else after. (I skipped a Michelangelo exhibit they had in favour of the Colville and the Spiegleman.)

Well hey - I was placing the order for "Jim" and the card is for "James". Problem solved, order placed, confirmation email received. YAY-HOO! Good catch. My card uses my middle initial which was not on my billing address. Added the initial and it seems to have gone through. Aand as I'm typing this I got an e-mail confirming the order.

I had the same experience but didn't hit it twice. I'll check in a few days and see if my credit card has been charged. BTW didn't notice earlier un this thread anyone mentioning that it's avaialbe as a cd. Costs less than the flac even with expensive shipping. And what does it mean when it says you can buy a studio master?

I bought it as a download-- I need instant gratification-- but can't figure out where the download button they refer to is. (Thought I'd post this here as well as on the website in case Jim reads it here first. )

Link?

The notes say that Million Dollar Bash is one of only two instances where Dylan play harmonica. What's the other one? The 2nd take?

Anybody yet compare the sound to that of The Savoy and Dial box set?

8 years after posting this (I didn't remember doing so till Moms brought it back) I've found some answers in David Meeker's excellent Library of Congress Jazz on Screen encyclopedia. Hawkins is apparently one of the members of the James Reese band. Though Benny Carter is heard with Fats Waller he's not seen on screen (that was someone miming.).

Done. Happy Channuka and Merry Xmas!

I remember an English professor at McGill in 1962 saying that there can be poetry without words: just watch Jean Beliveau skate.

I tried hard to get it legally released using the best possible print which I believe is the one at the UCLA tv archive. (The got it from director, Jack Smight.) I wanted to do new interviews with some of the musicians and Nat Hentoff as well as use some of Milt Hinton's photos form the session. Got pretty far with what was then CBS/Fox video but was then told that the musicians union demands made the cost prohibitive. BTW I've seen version without Monk as well as version with and without commercials.

And the Charles Brown original is pretty great too.

Happy B'day!

I don't think the other band members were "scared shitless" . I think Trane spurred them on especially Wynton Kelly.
