Just got home to find it waiting for me. Love that priority mail service! At first I wasn't sure about a cd Rom instead of a booklet but I dragged the contents to my desktop and love that I can enlarge the type. Also like that you've done a track by track commentary. (I did sometimes find it difficult to to find your comments on certain tracks of Devlin'.) Can't wait to sit in my Eames chair, put up my feet with my laptop on my lap and start listening and reading.

He sings "It Takes Two to Tango" on the Verve set (maybe on a single cd too for all I know.)

Happy B'day to the king! Long may you reign.

Chuck: This information may be readily available but I can't find it: What cds does Nessa Records have in print and for sale from you? Is there a list somewhere?

Wow, I hope this is true. A really good friend of mine has just been diagnosed with cancer.

I was impressed that in the first show I think they never once set a scene in the Quarter.

I'm thinking Versailles. (Which Michael Weiss already suggested and it's once of my favorites.) Venice at Motor.

Dumb question; is tomorrow Thursday or Friday? I'm in LA working and have some free time especially in the evening and today (Thursday) at lunch. And I have wheels. Maybe free tomorrow afternoon too.

Do you have a New Orleans gig?

Just listened to the cd driving to LA. Loved the way the last cut and hence the cd ended! Sonny Rollins' codas have nothing on you guys.

There's some material from the Royal Roost from February '49 with Miles on trumpet. I'm not at home but IIRC it was on a cd with some Miles quintet cuts from around the same time.

Bright Moments! And many more!!

I agree. Initial episode was great. The hand of George Pelecanos is apparent in the writing. I second that!

Jade Visions: The Life and Music of Scott LaFaro. I've only read the"life" part. I'm not as interested in the analysis of the music. He seems to have been an amazing guy. The index is screwed up (surprisingly since it's from a university press) and the discography is a bit weird.

Let us know when you're sure of the cost of shipping so we know what to paypal you.

Both cd and DVD have landed. Can't wait to hear/see them.

Last time I saw them they had people literally dancing in the aisles.

His Jazz Studio 1 was one of the first jazz records I owned. As a result it's always had a mythical status for me.

I was going to post something about that but then I started to wonder how he then supplies the music to Storyville for the DETS and other Ellington releases for which he gets credit? Did he donate it but still have access to it?

Happy B'day and many more!

Just finished "City of Thieves" by DAvid Benioff. Novel about the siege of Leningrad. Highly recommend.

Yes he was. Met Maria there. The Bix cd is very nice. New orchestrations and some compositions that Bix never recorded himself.

peculate. (I thought they'd left off the initial "s". ) Nope, it's in the dictionary.

BTW A few years ago I heard Peter Goralinick (sp?) say that one of the few contemporary bluesmen he liked was Geoff Muldaur.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=a43ekkTiOIf8 I used to always read his stuff in Village Voice and various European publications when I was abroad. Felt I knew him a bit. (Maybe there should be an RIP thread. Sure are a lot this month.
