I think the cds are teh same as the Lps but neither contain the complete concerts. There were 2 concerts in 1943, one in January and one in December. The DEcember one is available from Storyville.

I thought I had the JATP but there are 2 cuts not included in the cd I had of the First JATP concert plus 2 cuts from a second concert the same month.

Can you give more info on this please. I didn't know about it.

Happy B'day and many more. What was it like back in the early 20th Century when you bought all those blues records?

I've seen Reich several times and each performance was magical. Never seen anyone else doing his work though I have some recordings.

Just came back from Fritz and the Tantrums in a small,. crowded, standing only club. Good fun. Glad smoking is no longer allowed in clubs.

Uhh you may be right. I have to go listen to them both.

Came across this 2008 film while channel surfing last night. Even if they exaggerated a lot he sure had a difficult life. There are a lot of actors playing musicians in it: mainly country ones, but at one point he goes to a bar and sees Wes Montgomery playing . Then he sits in with Barry Galbraith (I only know that from the credits) who for some reason is fronting the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Desmond, Morrello and Joe Benjamin. (Did that group ever exist?) They also show the recording of Jazz Winds from a New Direction with someone playing Gary Burton who looks way too old. It's ham handed, melodramatic, very sad and at times sexy, but somehow compelling. Anyone else ever see this? I'd never heard of it. Don't think it got a theatrical release.

I mentioned the Day Tripper riff in another thread (which I can't find right now) and someone sent me to a Youtube performance by and R&B group who had used the exact same riff previously.

Also Bill Evans at Great American Music Hall. However lots of complaints about sound on RRK at Fillmore.

Does Joseph Conrad fit into this category?

Download from Amazon does have a lot of pops and crackles. Great record though.

I don't know what you're responding to. I started this thread and I never suggested that on-line discographies had to be free-- quite the opposite. And no-one else I've read has suggested it either. Personally I'd be happy to pay even more for the DESOR on line and constantly updated than I did for it in hard cover form. Save some trees too.

I used it because I purchased a download of the Pepper Adams "Ephemera". It went to the cloud but not to my computer. To actually download it required another step, which I didn't figure out immediately as it wasn't explained. Sort of pissed me off.

And "African Herbs". (Though I'm not sure I'd claim it's a classic.)

Pee Wee Russell and Red Allen: College Concert originally on Impulse. Also there's a Gil Evans on Horo, which admittedly isn't essential. However the Royal Albert Hall Evans concert is essential and unfortunately was released over two different labels so it will probably never be out on cd. (In all 3 cases I made my own cds-- back in the days when I knew how to do that.)

The Big Sleep is based on two short stories and they don't entirely blend together.

You're not happy with Hawks's "The Big Sleep"? I also like "The Long Goodbye" even though most Chandler fans didn't and Altman said really stupid things about it.

A 1972 Newport in NY concert with an amazing line-up: Benny Carter - alto sax Harry "Sweets" Edison - trumpet Taft Jordan - trumpet Carl Warwick - trumpet Joe Thomas - trumpet Tyree Glenn - trombone Quentin Jackson - trombone Benny Morton - trombone Dicky Wells - trombone Barry Carter - saxophone Earle Warren - alto saxophone Howard Johnson - baritone saxophone Buddy Tate - tenor saxophone Budd Johnson - tenor saxophone, clarinet Heywood Henry - baritone saxophone Teddy Wilson - piano Bernard Addison - guitar Milton Hinton - bass Jo Jones - drums

There's been a few discussions here of who's a jazz singer and who isn't and even some on who's a jazz musician and who isn't. It's been suggested that improvisation is one of the key signifiers of jazz but other genres of music often use improvisation. When I hear Wes Montgomery improvising I know it's jazz, and when I hear Neil Young playing a long improvised solo I know it's not. But I can't really articulate why. Any suggestions? (I was spurred to this queston by hearing a cut from the Al Kooper Super Session disc on a pretty good local jazz show.)

For the same reason that record companies priced cds out of the reach of many consumers and sent them to pirates: they couldn't think of any other way to raise income other than to raise prices. Publishers are even more egregiously dumb since there are no manufacturing costs involved with e-books. Costs the same to sell a million as it does to sell one. (Someone once did a test halving the price of downloading songs and discovered they sold 4 times as many (IIRC). Nevertheless the record companies pressured iTunes to raise prices. )

That's not Amazon it's the idiot publishers. Amazon wanted to make all new hard covers $9.99.

Scott Wenzell has been looking for copies of the transcriptions so they must want to include some.

Why would they need to drop a cut from a 27 minute session? I guess I should give this another listen. I've never liked it that much but haven't heard it in over a decade.

According to Peter Losin the music was recorded first then the musicians mimed top it while being filmed.
