Happy B'day and many more!

They obviously don't ship then in order. I just got 0140.

I used to have this problem. Then I found this product. It works embedded in Safari and FireFox. With Google Chrome, the audio file gets downloaded and automatically played in QuickTime. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/windows-media-player/wmcomponents Thanks. Did the trick.

Happy B'day and many more!

I can't get those samples to play. My son thinks they can't be played on a Mac and that the Mosaic websites is antiquated. Anyone here with a Mac able to play them?

Saw Taj Mahal on Thursday. Lot's of blues, which surprised me since last time I saw him he was more into his island thing. Then Saturday night, my wife's bands MYNX. No blues (wife can't convince the rest of the girls to try it) but lots of fun. http://www.independent.com/news/2011/jun/01/girls-are-back-town/

What year did Floyd Smith write the letter? (Maybe it's there and I missed it.)

Haven't looked at this yet so can't comment. Should we start a Wolfgang's Vault thread? I'm hoping they'll post the 1958 (IIRC) Prez with Pee Wee Russell set.

So is Way Out Wardell available from ACE?

Right now it only seems to be available on Amazon as an import.

"My Life in E-Flat". Chan Parker's autobiography.

The Columbia Jazz Masterpiece edition lists Larry Keyes as doing the digital remaster but doesn't mention Vlado Meller; just says "all digital engineering and mastering at CBS Records Studio, New York". BTW Am I the only one who thinks that "Le Souk" is one of Desmond's great solos? Certainly one of his bluesiest.

This is weird: On their web site it's still listed as an "upcoming release".

I meant to mention him in my post. The height of modernism, so much more modern than many contemporary arrangers. I certainly would have mentioned Gil Evans but I presumed this was about active bands. BTW I even liked the Gil Evans band after Gil died. Didn't think I would but saw them once at Ronnie Scott's in London and they were great.

Clayton-Hamilton band. Maria Schneider.

Someone once suggested that the Schwan catalogue would be a good source of release information. There seems to be an on-line version for classical music but not for anything else. I would presume that some libraries would have a complete run but I've never found one that did.

This whole thread is pretty impressive.

Just pay-pal'd you. (How do you turn that into a verb? " Pay-paled" sure doesn't look right, nor does "pay-palled".)

Because it gives you a sense of when people first heard it and could be influenced by it. Although many musicians began adding numbers to their live repertoires immediately after (or even before) they recorded them, some didn't do so until their records were released.

I'm not much help, but you've already helped me. I've been trying for years to find out the dates of the Miles Prestige releases. Do you by any chance know the release dates of any of the others besides the Quintet records?

Happy birthday young man!

This new collection seems to me to be cleaner but less compressed than the 1990 release. (And it has one more track.) However the 1990 release has the advantage of having the lyrics transcribed which I appreciate since I an't always make them out even in the new version.

A good man. I first met him when he was screening a rough cut of Last of the Blue Devils and ran into him again after more than thirty years when he'd just finished a film about Dave Brubeck. The guy spent most of his life supporting the music.

Me too

Happy bday and many more!
