I saw him with Beaver Harris shortly after the release of Momma Too Tight and remember thinking that this drummer could make a 50 piece brass band swing.

Just because no one's mentioned it.

IIRC in North America Vanguard was bought by the Lawrence Welk Music Group (!) who did a good job with the Spirtuals to Swing concerts but often put out cds that combined 2 Lps by leaving out some cuts.

I was thinking of Riverside, Contemporary and Prestige but I didn't know they owned Vanguard. There is a lot of material there never released in what I would call sensible packaging and organizing.

Can you give some examples? (I may be jaded because of my age-- I bought a lot of Concord material when cds were a new medium and didn't know there was still some unreleased material.)

From her early period you can 't go wrong with any of the "Lee Wiley Sings...." Cole Porter, Roger & Hart etc with various Condenites. IIRC they were originally true "albums": collections of 78s in an album. From her later period I like "West of the Moon" which Mosaic re-released as a Mosaic Single. I see it's now available on a cd along with the "A Touch of the Blues" though I presume the sound won't be as good as on the release that Jazzbo recommended.

IIRC he also took home the out-takes from the Smith-Jones session that were Lester Young's first recordings (which he didn't produce) and thus probably saved them for posterity.

Found this really interesting. I knew Michael Snow was on Elevator in the "Hotel Lobby Orchestra" or whatever it's called but didn't know he was that involved with her.

I'm going to be in New York (Brooklyn actually) all of next week. Anyone got any recommendations for music (or anything else)?

Went to an exhibit entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure" in LA last week. Though I could find no reference to the singer King Pleasure in the show or its catalogue there were several painting about jazz musicians who were Basquiat's heroes, and one whole room devoted to only paintings referencing musicians. I took photos of some of them.

Great version of the song.

I'm really enjoying this record. It's interesting how some of Miles's improvisations are reminiscent of what he recorded a few days later for Elevator to the Scaffold. (Especially some of what he plays on "What's New?".)

WOW! How'd you do that? (Never mind no reason to bore everyone else.)

According to Milt Hinton he ran into him the street and hired him for his (Gleason's) next session thus beginning Milt's studio career.

Is that a first edition? Also, I thought he'd dropped the "Ross" by then.

IIRC the SACD of KOB had an interesting 4 track setting that did put you into the middle of the recording session. Since I no longer have a SACD player I can't check it. (Anyone want my copy gratis. ) What I don't remember is how you chose between stereo or 4 track. Did the SACD player have 4 track setting? Also I hope this will lead to a quad release of the Gil Evans record that was quadrophonic (Svengali?).

4 Channel BluRay ? I have fairly small rear speakers in my tv set up. I wonder how much that matters.

I think I've read and usually enjoyed everything by Pynchon but it took me a long time to get through M&D because of the language.

Just under $19 including shipping.

Wow, where'd you get it? Losin says the release date is Oct. 2.

And of course there's the controversy as to whether it is him or Dizzy playing piano on Koko. IIRC Hakim said it was him in a Coda interview.

The Fugitive 1993 dir. Andrew Davis. Stars Harrison Ford. There is (or was) an OST: "Music by James Newton Howard featuring Wayne Shorter." Be warned: not that much Wayne on it.

Went to a screening of the "restored" version of The Fugitive and at the end of the music credits it says "Saxophone solos by Wayne Shorter" which prompted someone in the audience (not me) to shout out "Yeah, Wayne Shorter!".
