I've seen it twice and between viewings read the book on which it's based. The book is great but I think the changes made for the film were necessary for it to work as well as it did in that medium.

I have tickets to see him in April so he's still performing.

But then I met Mile '65 again at the Paris Ellington conference.

Some were so small you could barely see them. The museum offered magnifying glasses which were useful for the Songs of Innocence and Experience.

I think because this was under "Announcements" no one could respond. Larry posted: "I'm back after a six months unfairly enforced absence in an assisted care living facility. Maybe I'll tell you the whole story after enough time has passed, but it's a strange one." Welcome back, Larry.

I think I saw Sonny Rollins in every decade from the '60s through when he retired. IIRC The first time I saw him he had Grant Green on guitar and I thought he was suffering from too much a Coltrane influence. The next time I saw him was with a pick-up group in Toronto in late'60s or early '70s and he blew me away (though the concert got a bad review in Coda). Saw him often with the trombone-guitar group and enjoyed every concert. However the records I enjoy the most are the ones with Don Cherry.

Wow they had a bad lawyer. However there were many films that didn't clear music rights for home video because home video barely existed (if it existed at all) at the time the film was made. Frank Zappa held up the home video release of MediumCool for many years because of a song that was barely heard in the film. Later contracts bought music rights for "any future medium throughout the universe". (I'm paraphrasing-- can't remember the exact wording. )

I was fortunate to see him 4 times: Paris around 1978 in an old church, twice at Sweet Basil and opening for Miles at the Hollywood Bowl (no they didn't play together).

Thanks so much. It's still not on Amazon so I'm probably paying a premium by buying it from Rhino ($7.99 shipping!) but at my age I'd better not put anything off. Hope it reminds me of the time I saw the band at Sweet Basil and the stand was so full that Hiram Bullock sat at our table while he played.

What did you think of it?

I just read that Spotify is now using AI to create playlists. From the article I read, I inferred (perhaps incorrectly) that until now they've employed humans.

Anyone have any idea how many were in the first pressing?

I never noticed that. I'd better watch the film.

So with the Louis Armstrong House being there (Corona) is Queens the "jazz trumpet corner of the world"?

Yes The Holdovers. In the front credits there's a copyright for CMCLXXI. (The actual copyright notice is in the end credits.)

Check the copyright notice in the credits at the beginning.

Young to me.

It's a gotta have set and (I think) not duplicated by the RCA or Mosaic sets. Do you mean that all of Malaysia is off the grid or just where you are? ( I ask because my son-in-law's parents have moved to an island off Malaysia and even they have internet-- though I don't know about Spotify.

"Erasure" by Percival Everett, the source for the film "American Fiction". The protagonist is named Thelonious Ellison but his nickname is Monk. I like that this is not explained in either the book or the movie.

And how to submit it.

The Spector "Back to Mono" box set is terrific but everything seems a bit compressed to me. I'd love a well mixed stereo version of The Wall of Sound. Did he do any stereo releases or was he always mixing for mono car radios? BTW In the book about The Wrecking Crew there are some funny stories about Phil and Barney Kessel.

I don't think anyone likes fake stereo, but I usually don't mind issues where they've gone back to the original tracks and done a stereo mix like the one for Pet Sounds. (Of course if they screw it up that's another matter.)

Not my experience. Everyone I knew had a cheap stereo by 1965. I remember being at parties where you could dance to either the Beatles vocals or their instruments depending on which side of the room you danced.

Where I grew up we didn't have poutine but we did have chips with gravy. and that's what we always ordered.
