What is the Rex Stewart session called? He's not even listed as a participant on the website.

Just came back from seeing the Rebirth Brass Band in a club. They had the audience (including me) dancing and screaming.

Did it all start with Bird and his Anglophilia? (Listening to a lot of Sonny Stitt led me to this question.)

Happy B'day and many more!

Of course what we have on record may not prove much. When ddid it begin being used in clubs?

I think I've read that it originated with Kenny Dorham.

Miles was incredibly popular n the mid-late '50s. His repertoire became everybody's repertoire.

Ditto. I just remembered that none of the above cds have the Benny Goodman material for some reason. However I just downloaded the concerts from the site bichos recommended and ti seems to be the complete concert.

I just downloaded a batch of them after being directed to a site by mjzee. Were they done by recording full concerts or were they compiled by using different concerts? Could you really see Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and Slim and Slam in one concert?

This is great but when I click on the VBR they stream but don't download. Am I (as usual) doing something wrong? Look at the left side of the screen, under the section "Listen to audio." The section underneath that (under "Stream") is "Play / Download." Click on "VBR ZIP," then sit back - it's about 2.3 gb to download. Wow. it took me 30 minutes but worth it. Brings up a question about AFRS broadcasts that I should perhaps ask in the Discography forum: Were these actual concerts or were they pieced together from separate live performances?

Ditto.

Many of Josef Skvorecky's books mention jazz musicians by name-- most from the pre-bop era.

Wow. That's great. Thanks.

They were planning one. I think it morphed into the Coleman Hawkins set.

I have to admit that since I first started this thread I've turned to Spotify several times when I wanted to hear something I didn't own and I've found everything I've looked for. BTW I think it's free if you're willing to hear some commercials.

In the TNT Show, an AIP knock-off of The TAMI Show, Joan Baez sits on a piano stool with Phil and sings You've Got That Lovin Feeling. It's great. I was surprised when I saw this because I think it was from the period when she was still making fun of Rock n Roll by singing Little Darling.

And Duke loves you madly!

So if I already have both the Sony and the JSP Hot Five & Seven collections, the "Complete RCA Victor" box and the Sony "Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man 1923-1934" is there going to be much on this I don't already have? (This is a serious question: Maybe there's a lot owned by Sony not in their box.)

I just found this on Amazon but can't tell if it's the same label. I downloaded the 2 cuts not on the Blue Note. The sound sucks, but hey it's Coltrane and Monk!

I didn't think Silver was present on any records issued under the name "Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers". I thought that version of the Messengers was still a co-operative. I just noticed however that the cd release of the Columbia 1956 "Jazz Messengers" release labels it an Art Blakey record though the original Lp doesn't seem to have done so and the original liner notes refer to the band as a co-operative.

Logging onto Wolfgang's Vault today (decided to get Miles at Tanglewood to take to the gym) I noticed that one of the top ten most downloaded concerts was a Sun Ra concert: Newport at Carnegie Hall 1973. Number 8, right between the Byrds and The Jefferson Airplane.

I heard him busking in the streets of London sometime in the late '60s. Thought he was awfully good to be doing that, then read about him.

Or you can download jus that one cut for 69 cents. (Which I'm about to do.)

One of my first ever CD purchases was the "Mingus at Monterey" CD (Prestige/Carrere 98.480, AAD) issued by Prestige/Carrere in France; totally legitimate I assume. This Mosaic release looks awesome! I have a Japanese Fantasy cd of it. Same type face but different view of Monterey Bay on the cover! (At least I presume that it's Monterey Bay.)
