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.)

I don't think there ever was a booklet with it. I've made up my own discography for it if anyone wants one. Perhaps not, though there is a bit of extra space in the box that looks like it might have held a booklet. My set has a 32 page booklet with notes by Alun Morgan + disco Wow! Any chance you could scan it for me?

I use "Milestones". (I used to use Kate and Anna McGarrigle's "Kiss and Say Goodbye" which begins "Call me if you're coming to town" but I always thought I was hearing it from a radio. For some reason that doesn't happen with Milestones.)

Great! Thanks for posting this.

You can download it for $1.99 from Amazon today.

Thanks for the heads up. I just downloaded the Beach Boys.

Today they're offering a Sonny Rollins concert from '75 at a discount price. (And a Levon Helm concert that sounds pretty great.)

IIRC he made a deal about not getting co-leader royalties for the Lp.

Buster Keaton: Sherlock Jr.

Yes, and I think the two Treasury Shows are amongst the best.

I saw him playing acoustic stand-up bass with the Mike Gibbs band once.

No Sonny? Ya gotta have Mr. Badass! Well I've got him with Dizzy & Stan and with Art Pepper but none as a leader.

Bushwick is becoming an extension of Williamsburg; I have several hip young coworkers who live there. You're right. My son lives there.

Congratulations! You deserved it.

You guys convinced me. To be honest I don't have any other Sonny Stitt. I just ordered it but I'm running out of shelf space. (One of the reasons I'm now downloading music more than I'm buying cds. )

I thought Happy Gilmore was really funny. But then I'm Canadian and it is about hockey (sort-of).

The record is called Banga. According to Smith "Tarkovsky- a response to the film Ivan's Childhood- (is) improvised over a theme by Sun Ra." Gotta give her kudos for listing Ra as co-composer. The song is subtitled "The 2nd stop is Jupiter". BTW Good record if you like Patti Smith and I do.
