OK but how do you get the location of just the image without everything around it. (As I said pretend I'm really stupid.)

The 1958 Newport set is in stereo. That's all of disc 9 and the last cut on disc 8. Is this mentioned in the notes and I just missed it? Ambassador Satch may have been the first jazz Lp I ever bought. Got it when it was first released so this set has a lot of nostalgia for me.

Amen, brother. Though Sonny is well represented in my collection.

I just discovered that Haden also plays stand-uo bass with a wah-wah pedal on one cut of Keith Jarrett's "Birth" Lp.

I found vol 18 on Amazon US by searching for it specifically. It was available from the UK for less than $20 including shipping. And I almost immediately got an e-mail from the vendor saying: NOTE: Please ignore the Amazon delivery estimate of 18-26 days – we upgrade shipping so orders arrive usually within 5-12 business days as stated on the listing (US/Canada/Europe/Japan only). I'll let you know how long it actually takes.

Things changed faster in those days. There seemed to be a new generation every 3 years.

Thanks for the help. I just made it work. See Return of the Film Corner. And when I do that I get a thumbnail.

If you use this what size do you choose? (It suggests 640X480 for message boards.)

I've done it in the past but I forget how I did it. Now I seem to only be able to do thumbnails or whatever they're called. And how do you post cd and book covers from Amazon? Pretend I'm really stupid. (It won't take much imagination.)

It's available on Blu Ray as part of a fairly expensive George Pal Collection : http://www.amazon.com/Puppetoon-Movie-Blu-ray-Limited-disc/dp/B00GL9D6JG/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1406263871&sr=1-4&keywords=George+Pal

So I guess he created the solo (apparently based on a piccolo solo) long before he recorded it. I've read that almost everyone else playing it copied his solo and I think there are many recordings by others before 1940. I always presumed he recorded it in the late teens.

Listening to Barney Bigard playing it on the new Mosaic Pops collection got me thinking about this.

I As an aside, when I was going to school in Buffalo in 1964, Sonny Rollins appeared at a local club with a group that included Grant Green. Unfortunately, I missed that gig and I've wondered since what the group sounded like. I saw that group in Montreal. I remember not liking it that much. (It was 50 years ago so I don't remember many details.) Next time I heard him was with a pick up group in Toronto which included Ed Bickert and Arcjie Aleyne (sp?)-- or maybe it was Ed Thigpen-- and I was much more impressed.

Am I the only person who likes Our Man in Jazz?

So you and BeBop share a birthday. Must be a conspiracy. Happy B'day!

HAPPY B'DAY AND MANY MORE!

I've been listening to The Complete Science Fiction Sessions. On Rock the Clock I hear what sounds like a wha-wha guitar. The musicians listed are Ornette, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell. Ornette plays alto and violin, Dewey, tenor and musette. All are distinguishable but I don't hear a bass (though there's a lot of bass drum). Is this just my old ears mis-hearing? Is Charlie playing wha-wha electric bass or something? What's going on?

Speaking of whom..... on youtube there's a concert of the Ginger Baker trio with Charlie Haden and Bill Frissell.

I just realized that the last music I bought was the recently released Jarrett/Haden duo cd which I downloaded after reading this review: http://thebluemoment.com/2014/06/17/jarrett-haden-revisited/. Charlie Haden was probably the musician I've seen perform most often since living in California both with Quartet West and with The Liberation Jazz Orchestra. I think I took him for granted because I used to see him around town, sometimes at film studios where I guess he was working. I once ran into him with his son-in-law Jack Black at a Keith Jarrett solo concert at Disney Hall. Every so often he'd show up as guest dj on KCRW. And a month or so ago I saw his daughters perform at a Santa Barbara club. I know he'll be missed all around the world but here in Southern California he'll also be missed as a local hero.

Oh no!

I agree. Is the the rock and roll set available yet?

I saw them in Hyde park in (I think) 1968. Was Syd still with them then? I was more impressed at the time with a new group that opened for them because they had a flute player who sounded like Roland Kirk or Denny Zeitlin-- though not as good. (Yes it was Jethro Tull and the name stuck with me so that I was able to win tickets to see John Lee Hooker when I identified the group on a call-in radio show back in Toronto. It was the flute player that I recognized.)

Maybe it's my old eyes but I could barely a tell the difference with the reti an display.

Would you please describe the Strayhorn material. Is any of it previously unreleased?

Can anyone recommend recommend record stores I should check out in Dublin?
