Thanks. That makes sense.

I finally gave in to the urge and spent as much as I ever have on a single disc in order to get Jazz at the Plaza vol 2 in the mistaken belief that Billie Holiday sang with the Ellington band on her two titles. Turns out she has her own backing group. It's Buck Clayton on trumpet but who's in the rhythm section? The generally excellent on-line Holiday discography lists the Ellington band. Anyone know who the other musicians are?

I bought my copy from Buell. Honest. (Don't know why he had one or how many he had.)

I got this and am really liking it.

That's what I thought of right away too. And I really didn't like that film.

Congratulations!

HB! MG.

Don't dots over notes indicate that they're to be played staccato (I don't really remember much from my music lessons 50 years ago.)

Joshua Redman Trio at small (600 seat) theater last night. Good stuff.

I once picked up a Laserlight cd with some of the Ellington Musicraft cuts. Also some King Cole trio transcriptions.

Very laudatory review in LA Times. Well positioned in paper too. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-coltrane-live-offering-review-20140923-story.html

Just finished the book. It's really good as is the music download. Her website has streaming access to much of the music she talks about (not just music by Art).

BTW "Revenge" is avaialbe for download from Amazon for $5.94.

Listening to the Disc 6 of the Clifford Jordan Mosaic, which is the equivalent of Glass Bead Game Lp I noticed taht it was 64 minutes long. I don't ever remember another Lp that long. IIRC one of the 2 releases from Mile's '64 Philharmonic Hall concert was about 30 minutes a side but I can't think of any other Lps that had 60 minutes of music. Were there many and didn't the length cause sound problems?

Does that mean much Pee Wee Russell? (I hope.)

Jeff Koons at Whitney. Not my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed a couple of other smaller exhibits they had on other floors.

Saw it many years ago. Very good.

I've been listening to the Clifford Jordan Mosaic set (to my surprise I really like the Pharoah Sanders). According to the notes, on the Cecil Payne cut "Slide Hampton" Payne "adroitly shifts to the alto" at the end of his baritone solo. He's so adroit that the last notes of the baritone solo over-lap with the beginning of the brief alto solo! Did he pull a Roland Kirk? Were they double tracking? Or am I just mis-hearing? Maybe they were double tracking: on another piece Wynton Kelly plays organ and piano at the same time but I think it's one hand on each instrument.

I think Percy was on a retainer as Ray's writer in residence.

I give up. What's the answer?

Here's a review: http://thebluemoment.com/2014/08/24/coltrane-in-the-temple/

Maybe Herbie Hancock remembers.

Well it might have been different for someone sitting across the bandstand from me.

I've been wondering about this concert for 20 years. I think I've got about as much chance of hearing it as I do of hearing a Buddy Bolden cylinder.

I couldn't feel the bass. I could see it but not hear it.
