  1. I don't know of the footage with Prez but there is a film he made with Coleman Hawkins for Norman Granz. And I think it's more than 52 seconds long as is the other piece of footage with him from a tv show with Dizzy in which they play all of (IIRC) Hot House.
  2. "Battleground" is 3:21, "4 and Moore" 3:45 and "Battle of the Saxes" 3:51. Could you get that much on a 10"?
  3. I'm listening to a lot of early Stan Getz and just noticed that most of the Roost recordings clock in at just under 3 minutes but the first Prestige recordings are all closer to 4 minutes long. I presume the latter were 12' releases. Were they common? Mainly jazz or classical? And what were the time limits for 10" and 12" recordings?
  4. My son who hangs out in Brooklyn says he's never heard of Good -Bye Blue Monday but that Cafe Orwell is a small coffee house where he's been but didn't know they ever had music.
  5. I have an Italian Billie Holiday 3" that came with a not very good book. Also a Sting 3' cd because it has a long version of Up from the Skies with Sting (who I don't particularly like) backed by the Gil Evans band and I'm an Evans completist. Does Frank Zappa count? I have a Zappa 3" too.
  6. Love this record. IIRC good solos considering that it's music one.

    Tony Bennett

    IF improvisation is the essence of jazz is Neil Young a jazz musician? Or was Jimmy Hendrix?
  8. I've lived through a couple of under 7 earthquakes and they were pretty bad, This must be horrendous. Glad everyone on the board is ok.
  9. Found it. Did it. Thanks.
  10. Me too. (Actually it arrived a couple of days ago.)
  11. There are a couple of chapters on this and "clipping" in The Perfect Sound Forever. I didn't really understand it but apparently "" allows a song to sound louder when it comes on the radio.
  12. Don't worry I do delete them all. Thanks.
  13. What's a "mobile skin"? Is it what you get if you go through a browser? Yes. You can check it out by doing the following: 1. Navigate to the forum through your phone's browser. 2. Locate the "version" dialog box at the bottom left of the page. If it says "IP.Board", change it to "IP.Board Mobile". I can't find that. A the bottom of the page it says "Full version search" and there's an ad for the IP.Board app. Help!
  14. I keep getting notifications from DHL which require me to click on a zip to get the info about the parcel they're trying to deliver to me The parcel was send your home address. And it will arrice within 7 bussness day. I dunno. You think I should click on it? They spell like me.
  15. The played The Lobero Theater (holds about 600 people). And sounds like the opened with the same song.
  16. What's a "mobile skin"? Is it what you get if you go through a browser?
  17. Chewy: You da man! Becaue of your rave I went to see McCoy tonight and it was great! The last time I saw him he was playing with Coltrane and I haven't heard him since. I think the group was drummer Herlin Riley, bassist Gerald Cannon. and Gary Bartz. ( I say I think because they were never introduced. ) They came out burning-- so much so that people began screaming during the first number. Since I'm not familiar with his work I can't tell you what they played except a ballad he introduced called "Aisha" (?) and In A Mellotone which he closed with. It's scary: 3 of the best concerts I've seen in the past year were by people over 70: Sonny Rollins, Ornette and now McCoy. I only wish the concert had been somewhere where you could dance instead of a concert hall.
  18. Thanks. Don't know how I missed Jim's post about this. It's great. Sent from my iPhone. Or as my son says: sent from a device that makes my spelling even worse than usual.
  19. Uhhh What is the mobile version of the board and how do I access it through my iPhone?
  20. I think it's more that the internet has allowed individuals with distinctive interests but belonged to no peer group to form communities.
  21. Maybe one of our more computer talented members could develop an Organissimo Forum app.
  22. I find AMG very slow and hard to navigate. Someone gave me an edition of the Penguin Guide but for some reason I never refer to it, I guess because I prefer the internet. I often find the users reviews on Amazon and iTunes helpful. But this forum is my first choice for advice.
  23. The unfortunately 1 disc only Birdland All Stars at Carnegie Hall I just received lists other Roulette cds including one titled Diz N' Bird in Concert. Much to my surprise it's not listed in Peter Losin's excellent Bird discography (nor are any other Roulette releases). Does anyone know what session(s) it contains?
