Sorry I wasn't clear. Publisher's royalties have nothing to do with whether the source is a broadcast or not. I meant if it's being broadcast on radio when you hear it. If they are using Pandora or I guess Muzak then the record company would get some money I guess even if it's a European pd semi-bootleg.

Not if it's a radio broadcast. And not if the store is programming itself. Not sure about Muzak or similar services, (but I think not) yes if it's Pandora.

Is All About Jazz a social medium?

I just read a post on Facebook saying Herb Geller has died. The source was All About Jazz http://news.allaboutjazz.com/news.php?id=107712#.UrXxKGRDu4v

Until recently only the publisher (and hence the composer) were paid for public performances or radio broadcasts. Either Macy's or whoever supplies the feed should have a contract with ASCAP and BMI. Most internet streaming music suppliers have also made a deal with record companies and so it is to be hoped that the performers get some piece of that.

Happy B'day!

Congratulations! It's hard to make a living as a writer nowadays.

There are a few still awaiting proper reissue: A Drum Is A Woman Peer Gynt Suite Nutcracker Suite Suite Thursday Bal Masque Jazz at the Plaza Most of these were on French CDs, but all deserve the definitive treatment. I think the three suites are still available on a cd called "3 Suites". Bal Masque was issued without the fake applause as part of the Sony '51-'58 box set. But it would be great to see Jazz at the Plaza as well as a collection of all the singles he did for Columbia after '49. (I've never even heard The Asphalt Jungle Twist.) I'd also love to see a cd reissue of the entire Gil Evans at the Royal Albert Hall. Part of it was on an RCA Lp and the rest of it on Mole Jazz and none of it has been on cd as far as I know.

HaPPY B'Day!!

Wow 3/5 of the original Chico Hamilton Quintet died this year.

I keep arguing that since these were originally broadcasts they cam be legally re-broadcast. (But I'd be happy to pay for them.)

Saw Charles Saturday afternoon at a memorial lunch for a mutual friend. He kept referring to her as having "left town". I'm not sure if most of the people there knew what he was talking about.

Another what? I like his writings but he's not one to let nuance get in the way of a good story. I especially feel this about Lush Life.

I ordered mine. (An I the first?)

Happy B'day Ghost!

Obit makes it seem like company is still owned by Singleton's family unless something's happened since 2009. Must be one of the last older independent companies.

Who (what company) does own the Sun material now?

Check out the samples at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=lester+young+old+town+recordings&rh=n%3A163856011%2Ck%3Alester+young+old+town+recordings&ajr=0 This also appears on iTunes. Was there a singer named Lester Young? WTF? Though actually this guy is pretty good (and in fact sounds familiar to me. When I Shazammed it took me right back to this EP.

Got a Mosaic newsletter via e-mail today with a nice plug for David Brent Johnson's Night Lights show about 1961. Congratulations Ghost!

George Frazier. I remember particularly liking some very personal things he wrote for what I remember being a Billie Holiday Lp but I'm not sure.

Anyone attend the concert? I got a notice the day before that didn't describe it as a benefit-- just the launch party for the cd which I've received and really enjoy.

So sorry to hear this. It certainly explains your earlier post. My thoughts are with you.
