Given them all away except "Braggin' in Brass". Any takers?

Yes. We use some of her songs in the services at my temple.

Hey they've now added the Cannonball Adderly Quintet as well as The Jazztet from 1960!

I have it on a Japanese Sony release. I'm not as big a fan of Miles after Bitch's Brew as I am of his earlier work so I'm not a good judge but I do think it's pretty good.

I always thought that Tim Rose's was the original of Hey Joe. Long piece in Wikepedia about the source of the song and it's earliest incarnations.

Did Brownie play in every cut? And if not is it in the Brownie box anyway?

Has there ever been a set of cds (or Lps) devoted to this session? I have Dinah Jams but looking at the Mercury discography it looks like cuts are spread all over the place. (The session featured Dinah Washington with the Brown-Roach group plus Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson and Dinah's working trio.)

I've read something that explained the relationship between the Groovin High coda and If You Could See me Now but can't remember where or what exactly it said. Not very helpful I now but at least the information is out there.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Walter Mosley. Devil in a Blue Dress is pretty good but then they get better and better.

What do you consider the 2nd in the series? After writing a few Fletch books MCdonald began "filling in the blanks" chronologically so that IIRC Carioca Fletch takes place right after Fletch but was written much later. Chronologically the first two are "Fletch Won" and "Fletch Too". He also has Fletch cross paths with the hero of another series: Flynn (in, iirc "Confess Fletch". I really enjoyed the series but read them pretty much in the order they were written which was a bit confusing.

Happy B'day and many more!

I presume they don't let you download to the US. (I guess I should just try.)

Stuck in the Middle was a Lieber Stoller production. I presume they had nothing to do with Baker Street (which I don't believe I've ever heard-- seems like I should look for it.)

Happy B'day and many more.

Or that he loved musicians. Gave Milt Hilton his first studio work, used Bobby Hackett on his music to neck by records and produced the Dorsey Brothers tv show which brought us Elvis and which Bird was watching when he died.

OK PM me and tell me where to send it.

The 2 Ellington in the '30s Mosaic boxes have made several of my cds redundant so I have Braggin' in Brass The Immortal 1938 year a 2cd set, as well as the Classics 1939, 1939 vol 2 and 1939-40 cds. (These used to be rather valuable though I suspect the Mosaic sets have made them much less so.)

Am I the only one having trouble getting the discs off those things in the middle of the dish they come in? (What are they called?) I'm worried about cracking the cds.

Those people need to decaf, detox, decompress, or something. That level of manic energy and gleeful precision does not occur naturally in nature without chemical inducement! I think that Bob's Big Boy is just down the street from Warner Bros.

The Complete Mingus at Birdland plus Brian Prestly's Mingus bio.

Not only is Borders closing in downtown Santa Barbara but so is Barne's and Noble. (People keep wondering if B&N would have closed had they known that Borders, which is across the street from them, was on the way out.) Good news for the locally owned Chaucer's which is doing just fine but they don't sell cds. Maybe this will help the locally own record store which I think is the last one standing.

We should now add Billy Taylor.

The legitimate Sony cd of Rushing Lullabies was a twofer: the 2nd Lp was Little Jimmy Rushing and the Big Brass. It also includes one bonus track from the Lullabies sessions. Is it OOP?

I've got a cd entitled "The Scene Live in New York" with Zoot, Al and Frishberg from 1965 that sounds pretty good. The notes make mention of The You and Me That Used To Be saying that it was Rushing's final album but he lived long enough to learn that Down Beat critics voted it "record of the year" in 1972.
